Highly Recommend. So pleased I bought one.

V6 Cord-free

I had been recommended by a friend to buy a Dyson cordless. I was always hesitant because of the cost. But must say has been the best purchase. It is such as great machine, my husband and son love it also because it is easy to use just clip it off the charger and away you go. I have mostly wooden floors and tiles. It always surprises me when I see just how much dust has been collected in the housing. Great suction. Would highly recommend.

Love the fact that its easy to run and light. Even the grandkids love to use it.

V6 Cord-free

We use it on laminate and rugs. Pick up amazing best suction in a vacuum I ever had. Easy to empty and no replacement of filters. Love using it no matter how small ir big the mess is.

Great Vacuum

V6 Cord-free

Perfect for hard floors, can also be transformed into a handheld.
Good suction & lasts approx 20 mins.
I prefer using this than dragging out the plug in Dyson for a quick clean.
When I bought it from Ebay it also came with a cleaning kit as well.

Awesome vacuum

V6 Cord-free

Brought this Dyson vacuum. It’s the best vacuum ever! I don’t think people realise how good a Dyson is until they own one. Dyson are expensive but worth every dollar.

So light weight easy to handle. The battery lasts ages. I can vacuum my kitchen, lounge room, 3 bedrooms all in one go no need to stop & recharge. Cleaning the fittings are also easier than most vacuums too.

Save so much time !!

V6 Cord-free

I have injured my shoulder and couldn’t lift heavy vacuum cleaner. This stick vacuum cleaner is light and efficient. It doesn’t run for more than 10 minutes continually and this is wonderful for me, it gives me a limit of time so I have to be efficient and not wasting too much time and energy on this task.

This is amazing and a life saver of the day

V6 Cord-free

We have only one area to have a massive clean up as our carpet is 10 years older.. but still really good and when we bought our vacuum last year i can easily tell the difference of the dyson vacuum from the previous one..So it’s 100% For me to recommend to everyone who’s planning to buy..

Great service.

V6 Cord-free

My Dyson V6 recently was having issues it wouldn’t hold a charge. I contacted Dyson via email they answered promptly and asked me some questions. I was ecoevyyo pay for a new part as my Dyson is well out of warranty. I was blown away when they sent me a new battery part at no cost. What s great company. I love my Dyson even more now

Handy for quick whip around.

V6 Cord-free

We have hard surface flooring with rugs. The spinning head jams on mars which isn’t ideal. Tends to flick any slightly larger debris away instead of sucking it up. Bit Flossie to empty the dust canister. Noisy and battery doesn’t last very long. I have read people staying they are a game changer in their lives and I would disagree. Handy for whip around but doesn’t replace my regular vacuum.

Can't believe I'm a little disappointed

V6 Cord-free

I've had 5 Dyson vacuums over the years and have ALWAYS been more than thrilled with my purchase. This time, not so much. I don't know if I just got a dud or if this model just isn't that great. Anyway, my main gripe is with the battery life. My older model dyson cordless vacuums would hold there charge in between uses but this one just doesn't. It dies very quickly even when it hasn't been in use much at all. Then I charge it up and expect it to be ready to go next time I vacuum, but alas, again the battery dies. Not very happy at all for a Dyson I expected better.

Very handy

V6 Cord-free

I managed to get one of these 2nd hand and despite having had a lot of use with the previous owner it still runs along for me A-ok without any issues

Dysons are expensive and if you have a small house or won't be using it a lot that is a consideration but otherwise you will get your moneys worth I think

Good Handy Vacuum... when it works.

V6 Cord-free

This vacuum is great when cleaning up small bits 'n' pieces around the house but... up until about a month or two ago the vac would die after about 30 seconds. It would be on charge for days sometimes but the same problem occurs. I have searched the internet for solutions and have found this to be a very common problem with these vacuums. For the amount us consumers pay for these units I would expect a bit more quality from Dyson. Since this is under Dyson's two year guarantee I have sent an email explaining this, now to wait for their reply.

V6 Cord-free

I bought this for my car, but it is so easy anywhere you need to do a quick vacuum, even the kids can use it. Only wish it had a longer battery life so I could use it for longer

Early days.. but seems really good

V6 Cord-free

I only purchased this a few weeks ago but so far it has performed above my expectations. We've mainly used it with the mechanical head and carpet and lino and it has really good suction and doesn't seem to have a problem with larger bits of food. The low battery life doesn't worry me because I am using it do quick clean ups after meals (2 young kids!) and it is more than fit for purpose. Just don't get it you want to do a whole large house with it. All in all very happy so far, would recommend particularly if you can get it on special for around $250.

Love this vaccum

V6 Cord-free

This vaccum is just so easy to maneuver. I love it's suction power I barely use the max power as the normal power is enough. Only downside is that the battery runs out pretty quickly but every thing else is great.

Perfect easy to use hand stick vacuum

V6 Cord-free

I have 2 bedrooms apartment and this hand stick vacuum is perfect for me.

Bought it when it was on discount early in May 2022 and I have never found any problem in using it.

The only drawback is to properly clean the bin but cannot complaint for the price I am paying.

Cheap price comparing to other models but not easy to empty bin

V6 Cord-free

Pro:
- Very competitive price comparing to V7, V8, V10 and V11
- Like the motor head which can pick up more dusts than non-motorised head vacuum cleaner
- Like cordless freedom and the docking station - easy to store and charge V6

Con:
- Short battery life (not suitable for a large house over 150sqm)
- There is no HEPA filter fitted on the machine
- Very difficult to empty the dust bin

Great Vacuum that does an excellent job

V6 Cord-free

This dyson V6 is a great cordless sick vacuum!
It has 2 suction mode which both work very well.

Apon first using this vacuum i was shock how much dust this picks up from the carpet, it shown me that the old vacuum was not cleaning my carpet properly nor deaply.

The attactments are very handy to make getting to the hard to vacuum spots easier plus this vacuum is light weight i can do the ceeling and tops of my walls and picture frames.

It take about 3.5 hours to charge and get just over 20 minutes vacuum time on normal setting (6 - 10 minutes on high power setting) which is great for a good sized 2 bedroom appartment.

Would recomment this vacuum.

Easy Vac

V6 Cord-free

This Dyson Cordless Vaccum has been great to use. Has a couple of issues though. When emptying the dust carrier you need to use a utensil to remove the fluff as it becomes tangled & doesn’t want to budge. Also battery life is terrible & needs many hours charging.

Absolutely perfect!

V6 Cord-free

We love this vacuum! We won it at a raffle and would seriously buy another one in a heartbeat if it packed up. We have had so many other (cord) vacuums and this one cleaned our carpets better than all of them combined. My parents loved it so much they went and bought the V8!

not too bad

V6 Cord-free

Bought this product not too long ago from Big W. Not too bad for the price I paid but the battery doesn't last long. Have to keep on charging after about 20 minutes.

Great value for money

V6 Cord-free

I use the Dyson V6 on ceramic tiles, carpet and rugs. It's so easy to use and effective even with small children mess and cat hair. It's so convenient to store and use rather than getting out the big vacuum cleaner, which I no longer use at all. It's great for a quick clean up after the kids have eaten or brought grass and dirt in from outside. I specifically wanted a convenient stick vacuum and I haven't been disappointed. Has enough power to go over the whole house.
