after two years the head has called it quits

published

This v6 cordless was bought in April 2017 and in September 2022 (2 years & 5 months) the head has called it quits. we used it on tiles and carpet. I expected that the machine would be more serviceable than that. The cost to replace the head $125.00

Cant live without it!

Cordless which means I can just take it out and vacuum anytime easily. Battery lasts long enough for my small house. Suction is great. Highly recommend. Ive used it for more than five years and suction is still as good!

Absolutely garbage. I rang Dyson v6

published

I contacted dyson and told them that after being fully charged that it l only manage to get 6 minutes out of it . Their reply was " yes 6 minutes sounds about right on a fully charged dyson v6. If l had known, I would have not purchased this product. Save your money.

A very upset customer

published

I purchased a V6 Stick in 2016 which I thought would be ideal for my new small home. Before the warranty had expired the battery had to be replaced. Now, the machine constantly cuts out and is useless, not good enough for an expensive vacuum cleaner!! So after 3 years I find that I will have to purchase a new vacuum which will certainly NOT be a Dyson, nor would I recommend a Dyson to anyone. Very disappointing.

Blows in your face.....

published

Just purchased a Dyson V6 from Bunnings at a good price of $279.00. It seems really convenient and handy to just pick up and vacuum my carpets and tile floors without messing around with cords. I’m getting used to it. My only concern is that the height of the motor is very close to ones face, consequently, the exhaust air bows straight into my face. I have a taste of fine dust afterwards. That’s not good for an asthmatic like me. I think it’s a design fault....there should be little hoods that direct the air away from the face. I have to remember to either wear a mask or, a scarf over my mouth when using....or try to keep it lower to the floor!

Great Vacuum would recommend

published

This is a great Vacuum all round even though it is an earlier model it still has Dyson's excellent suction it is quick and easy to whip around the house without dragging the cord everywhere. The battery doesn't last much longer than 15min on max power however if you have a unit or small house this is enough time to make your floors look good. I would recommend this product for the price for sure!!!

Great little vacuum

published

I use this vacuum on carpet mats, lino and ceramic tiles.
Cleans all those surfaces quite well.
The vacuum is light weight and easy to use. Easy to clean, and so much easier than one with a power cord. Thus not limited to the length of the power cord. I use this vacuum almost every day. Would never be without it now. I hardly use my normal vacuum.
I have been asked to do a review on a product an I chose this particular machine. I love it.

WOW, what a joy to use

This is my new "go to" house hold appliance, we recently had new tiles laid in our home and this little ripper has allowed our new look home to stay looking brand new. Easy to use and easy to empty, our home wouldn't be the same without our Dyson V6 Vac, make your life better with a Dyson.

Love ease of use,could not clean floors better.

published

Use on carpet, vinyl & ceramic tiles. Performs excellent on all surfaces going straight from one to another & never get my big cleaner out anymore. It's amazing the tiny dirt this vacuum picks up plus the fluff & hair, makes you wonder where it all came from. My floors have never been cleaner, so easy to use,empty, then back into the charger for next use.

Carpets and tile surface. Hover really grips well to flooring. Easily removes pet hair and fluff. I love not having to get my big hoover out to quickly go over my floors.

1. How to replace the battery?
2. How do I find the model & serial number on the machine.
3. I have been told this earlier model has only a 2 year life.
Thanks

Thank you for your queries.

You can find a video showing how to remove and replace the battery of your machine here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju0F4HMtysQ

You can find the serial number for your machine on the guarantee form which is on the back page of your User Guide. However, you can also find it on the machine. To locate, push the red release catch and the base of the bin releases. Push it again and with a wiggle you can pull the complete clear bin off the machine. You will find the serial number sticker on the opposite side of the red lever on the machine.

While Dyson engineer our machines and their components to last, the batter is a consumable item which suffer wear and tear through usage coupled with environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, charging habits and the usage of the minimum / maximum power selection. These factors affect the battery longevity which varies amongst users and determining the length of time a power pack should last is not feasible.

If we can assist further, our Dyson Experts are available via [email protected] and happy to help.

I cannot detach the stick form the head. It appears to be jammed on. I have had my Dyson for a few years and everything else is fine but now I can't change the tools! Any advice please?

My v6 roller brush isnt rolling...it moves slightly when i turn the power on then doesnt move. Iv had it all out and cleaned it theres nothing clogging it. The hand held part it working fine so can do skirting boards and car for eg. It also seems to be charging fine as far as i know. The blue light stays on while hoovering right? Any ideas?
