This replaced our old DC44 and it leaves it for dead
This is our second Animal Origin, one upstairs and one downstairs and our 5th Dyson. Others have been heavy corded types. This is great on our new top quality carpet, old mats and tiles. PROBLEMS, I could not register it online because Dyson's dumb system said INVALID serial number, you would expect them to have IT's who would fix that. It gets worse when you try to call Dyson as no one answers and you get a nonsense message saying they are experiencing high call volumes and you will be answered some time in the FUTURE. This message has been th...Read more

Love it’s power but short on battery life...
Yes great suction but very annoying to have to recharge after 20 mins or so. It says 40 mins, but that doesn’t happen even if it’s been on charge for days.....
The lint and cotton is a problem to remove but not impossible.... it seems the newer models have a longer battery life, but this is only around 5-6 months old ....

When we bought it we were informed it was only a 40 minute battery life, we thought that was short, but friends have a Dyson and they said you get used to it, and it is worth it, it has great suction,... Read more
they are correct, .....but we wouldn’t have bought it if we had been told 16-20 mins no way, but now we love it except for the battery life...a spare battery interchangeable would be a great bonus.....

Dyson Brings The Goods!
These are on special at quite a few places now, way cheaper than they traditionally have been and I finally took the plunge too! Its wonderful to use - positive trigger function makes me feel like a dust and dirt sniper! It's actually quite fun to use at first due to the excellent design. Battery life is good not great. You tend to want to use it on maximum and then its all over quite quickly. I am very happy with th and hope to have it for years to come

Awesome upright cordless vac
It's powerful works great on wooden floors and carpet. My only complaint is when cleaning wooden floors it flicks an object around instead if picking it up if its round or chunky piece of dirt on the floor Eg. A pea or bread.
I mounted the charger on the wall with a screw snd hand screw driver. Perfect!

Disappointing and frustrating. Gone back to corded.
Expected a lot more from Dyson technology. Going over dirt on a hardwood floor. You will find that you have to go over it continuously about 5 times more than you would with a powerful corded vac. It seems the problem may not be the suction but the way the head is designed, it doesn't get close enough to the floor to create a vacuum. Very poor head design.

Hi Hasan,
Thanks for your review and sorry to hear about this.... Read more
We would suggest to switch to the Maximum suction mode to increase the suction when you need more power, to do this, while the machine is running, press and hold the Max button until the Max light turns on. If that does not resolve the issue, please email our Dyson experts at [email protected] including your contact details, the machine's serial number and a description of the issue and we will be happy to help. Best wishes, Mira www.facebook.com/dysonThank you.. I've been using it ONLY in max suction. I'm just wondering why we have to go over something about 5 times on hard surfaces to get it. It doesn't seem the problem is suction but more the wa... Read more
y the head is designed. It doesn't hug the floor closely enough to create a strong enough vacuum to suck things in powerfully. The corded vox I have does not have the same problem. I only have to go over something once and it's sucked away. And I have a switch on the head to switch between hard floor and soft floor.. How can a dyson on offer the same functionality..when it's meant to be a superior product. Not impressed.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Makes vacuuming fun and easy
So happy I made this purchase! This vacuum is light, easy to use and very powerful. The run time is great I can get our little home done and still have charge left. I love that you can see how much dirt and dust it’s picking up and cleaning it is extremely easy. Excellent product that makes vacuuming feel like fun not a chore. Will never go back to a corded vacuum and certainly won’t be straying from Dyson.

It scares the cats, but it cleans up their mess too!
My 2007 vintage dyson handheld died so got this as a replacement. What a difference 10 years has made. Battery lasts longer and charges quicker. I think Big W made a mistake when they priced it at 299 but who am I not to capitalize on someone elses mistake.
Machine sucks a lot harder and is easier to empty and clean/replace the filters. Only negative I can see is the battery is non replaceable like my last unit.
It is noisy but considering the jet engine providing the suction its not surprising. My cats hate it. Great suction means you can g...Read more

Customer service sucks more than the vacuum
We bought a V6 animal origin 5/5/18 but when attempting to register the product online we get "invalid serial Number"error message. We have contacted Dyson twice with no response/help. Product seems cheaply made with poor quality plastic used and only average run times. Overpriced for what it is. Overall disappointed.

Possibly the worst vacuum I have ever owned
This vacuum has caused nothing but problems. First, the battery needed replacing after just 3 months. Secondly, it only covers about a metre of carpet before it starts pulsing, which indicates there's a blockage. Every time I vacuum I have to remove the dust compartment, which is largely empty, check for blockages, make sure the little door in the dust catcher isn't stuck, then and reattach everything, which gets dust from the filters EVERYWHERE and is damn impossible to reattach. It takes a lot of time and jiggling to get the damn canister bac...Read more
k on. I have washed the filter and attachments every month, I empty the vacuum cleaner several times per room; this vacuum cleaner is cleaner than the day I bought it, yet it still can't go 5 minutes without pulsing. I called the help line, she said she could send me a new filter. So the second replacement part in 6 months. Alternatively I can send it all the way to Sydney to be serviced, so either way, I have this pile of rubbish I paid hundreds of dollars for which is completely unusable. Awful product. The last vacuum cleaner I had only lasted 5 years, but at least it functioned in that time frame without needing to be taken apart everytime to trouble shoot issues, or require new parts sent out every couple of months. Please save yourself a lot of time and frustration and never ever buy this product.2 comments

unreasonable for such an expensive product to keep failing, the guy I was speaking to offered to have it serviced for $40 plus parts. Then when I asked for the matter to be escalated, he told me my warranty was not even valid, despite the product being less than 1 year old and within the 2 year warranty. I then took to item to Big W, who initially were very cooperative, but their manager decided after contacting Dyson that they would only supply me with a replacement battery. I then contacted consumer affairs in Victoria, who acted on my behalf and within days had secured me a replacement Dyson after contacting Big W. I sold it immediately. Never ever would I recommend Dyson, on the basis of the unreliability of this product, and their god awful conduct when they should have just replaced it from the start because the damn thing was faulty. I don't doubt for a minute they would have dragged it out and sent replacement batteries until the end of the warranty period.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great machine
Happy with the suction of this machine. It is easy to use and manoeuvre. I love how quick it is to use. I use it for the lounge and bedrooms for the carpet. It doesn't take long to charge which is great. Glad I finally got my Dyson no more dog hair!!

Handy and Light!
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. With kids who create a mess every few hours, this has been an absolute live saver! so convenient to grab, and cleans both carpet and hard floors perfectly. It comes with so many handy attachments too! It is very light weight and easy to maneuver.

Great product- wish it held charge a little longer
Good suction however I wish it held charge longer than 20 mins, it always seems to just fall short of completely cleaning an area before dying l( such as the car) ( when it’s a little extra dirty)
We do however have a backup but switching between the 2 is a pain and avoiding that would be preferable.
Aside from that, cleans well, easy to empty however if you let it build up it dirt and hair can be tricky to completely shake loose, so emptying contents after each use is a must!

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your review.... Read more
To ensure the easiest bin emptying experience, we recommend emptying the clear bin as soon as the dust and debris reached the max line. If the debris gets caught up higher, press the lever that opens the bin a second time and the bin can then be completely detached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWG-AgswpQo If you need further assistance please email our Dyson experts at [email protected] and we will be more than happy to help.

Strong suction and easily manouvreable
I have virtually stopped using the full size vacuum cleaner except for the bi-annual spring clean. It is so easy to use and clean. Something that is really important to me is the cleanliness of the handheld when re-using it. I find that each component part is easily detachable so I can thoroughly clean it - I can be satisfied that it is hygienic to use again.

Perfect. Don't know how I could live without one for so long.
Super happy with the performance and suction of the vacuum. It helps me a lot because it's so light and easy to maneuver I can vacuum without any effort or strain on my back. Because the battery only lasts for 17 minutes, it's not suitable for big areas, unless you wait for it to recharge.
I highly recommend it.

Great stick vac
Excellent suction on normal or max setting. Its pretty loud, more so on high power. It also starts on max which is annoying. Charges quickly. But needs a flexible hose attachment for tight areas that the motor wont fit, also a rubber bumper on the heads would be good. I bought this 2 weeks after buying the v6 slim, which must be faulty being that some dust came out the back the 3 times it was used and the canister doesn't seal properly. Will return when i get time. This v6 animal origin has plenty charge to get around a 3 bedroom house using mo...Read more

can not live without!!!!!
where do I start . I have the v6 animal sick. light weight. I use it no problem on my floor boards and carpet with no damage. very easy to manoeuvre. Easy to clean and empty. I have a a smallish 4 bedroom house so no problem with the battery lasting, Its so good i use it with different attachments on my aircon vents, blinds, general dust even outdoor on my deck.Only problem is it is so good and easy to use i find myself vacuuming most days now but still surprised how much dust and dirt i pick up. no need for dustpan and broom for quick spillage, just grab it off the wall and go. Highly recommend. Cant go wrong

Great Sucker!
I was both impressed & embarrased with the amount of dirt that came out of my carpet when I first used it. I previously used a cheap vacuum cleaner a friend lent me & I thought the carpet was ok but was shocked at the amount of dirt that filled the bowl! Very impressive Dyson.
It’s easy to manoeuvre around furniture & terrific for stairs. The only qualm I have is when I return it to the docking station I can’t plug the cord in for recharging at the same time? It seems to be in the way so I guess the docking station is just somewhere to hang the cleaner when not in use.

I Love this product
I love my vacuum. Makes me feel like an old lady. It is just so easy - no cords. You can get up and down and vacuum the stairs no problem at all. Doesn't take long to recharge and does my whole unit with this amount of charge. Would definitely recommend.

So handy, so great.
We have been lusting over a Dyson for so long, then this came on special at Big W for $349 and we jumped at it. The quality of the product is so high. Everything clips together tightly and just works. Its a little difficult getting the container off for a good clean. Holds charge long enough for us to do house on normal speed. So glad we made the decision, sick of pulling out the Miele and plugging in power and extension cords. That's been relegated to once a week duties! Well worth the money for us. The attachments are great too.

The perfect vacuum
I have already heard this type before, which is very famous one. I like it so much, it is easy to manoeuvre, and convenient to handle because of light weight. I used this vacuum to clean bedroom and sofa, very suitable for small houses. It’s not a quiet one but I haven’t see any vacuum is quiet, the price is little higher than ALDI.

Hey hi,
For my Dyson V6 Animal the motor head has shopped rotating, upon inspection i noticed hair build up and then i cleaned it thoroughly inside and outside and cleaned it,.
Now the problem is, i am not getting power in the tube at all, i even tried it with other Animal motor head and even thats not working. Its just sucking the air as normal but none of the motor heads getting power with or without the rode. Has anyone faced a similar situation?

Hi, this is the exact same thing that is happening to me and it seems to be a very common problem among Dyson consumers. I have had my Dyson for 22 months and I have sent an email explaining this and hopefully I will get a new battery under their 2 year guarantee. I am still waiting for their reply.
