Terrible pick up and suction

published

I've written to Dyson about this and thought I'd leave a review here too.
Since getting this vacuum I've despised it. Everything gets spat out in front of it and you spend forever trying to suck up the most insignificant bits of dirt, usually giving up and resorting to the old vacuum instead.
Don't buy one. Doesn't do the job.
Have tried other Dyson cordless vacuums and they're nothing like this one. They actually work. This doesn't.

It’s good! I wish battery was longer.

I’m happy with it - I got it on sale which is good but wouldn’t repurchase onsale. I’d upgrade! Dyson is incredible though - one friend I have borrows mine to clean her car as it fits in small spots well!

Great Strong Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

published

My old cordless Dyson V stopped working so I chucked it away and bought the V6 Fluffy when it went on sale, hoping this time would be okay. Nothing wrong so far. It's strong, cordless, and comes with many toolkits/accessories and my family loves it. Good so far..

Purchased in March 2021 at eBay for $284.00.

Over priced for performance received

published

Feed up with having to pull the head apart after every second use to pick hair away from bearing bush points which stops the brush from spinning at speed. Parts are wearing out and have been told a replacement head is not available, not that I would buy one now as am over this product. A lot of money wasted for a little over 2 years use. Used daily to do small sections at a time until batter runs low. Battery life so far has not diminished greatly, just sick of the head maintenance which offsets the quick cordless benefit.

Stopped working after two years - would not buy a handheld model again

published

For the past 12 months I have been unable to use my Dyson V6 fluffy - the red light flashes and it won't recharge (ie it only lasted just over two years). I've read reviews that say it is difficult getting a response from Dyson (the same thing happened to a friend and she gave up after waiting on hold for 30 min). If I had known that batteries are considered to be disposable and only that it would last only two years I would not have purchased the item.

It was OK cleaning hard floors (polished concrete and laminate), but I find a fiber duster is better at picking up pindan and pull out my old Dyson CD05 when I need to clean the rug / do a big clean.

Not happy with being told that the battery is not covered under warranty and that I have to spend $85 for a battery that only lasts two years. I've lodged a compliant with WA Consumer Protection.

Handy vacuum

published

I mostly use this vacuum on our polished concrete floor after finding that my bigger Dyson was scratching the floor. The fluffy head is great on concrete and easy to whip around the house for a quick clean. although does find it hard to pick up some thing eg food in kitchen and I find hair gets wrapped around the head. Other than that great easy vacuum

Another quality product from Dyson

published

Bought it from eBay Dyson for $284. This is my 2nd Dyson stick hand held purchase. Obviously this one is a newer generation with better suction power and battery life. The fluffy motorhead is excellent on floor boards as they do not get much human hairs stuck on it unlike my previous Dyson DC25 using the brush motorhead where you need to clean them every few weeks.

Couldn't Live Without Mr Fluffy!!

published

I have tried soo many vacuum cleaners, my husband was going nuts, then I purchased a Fluffy..WOW - all the suction of a full size vacuum in a simple light weight, cordless vacuum cleaner.
Easy to use and great for a quick fix
The only draw back is the battery only lasts 15 minutes on high, but that is a minor issue because I also purchased a V6- love them!!

Fantastic

published

It is a great product. compact and can swivel on its head. It is powerful enough on normal suction. I have a 100m2 house and carpets. the fluffy can suck up all the dirt from the carpets. I have a bigger dyson for the deeper cleaning. In conclusion. it is super versitile and has a great value for money

Works great

published

Works great and very functional. Collects dust very well on hard surfaces. I can also use it inside the car with the small attachments and the mini motorised head lifts dust from the interior carpet very well. Only downside is it sometimes can be difficult emptying the dust bin. Great for small cleans around the house.

Easy to use and maneuver

published

Love this new handheld (and my regular Dyson vacuum). Good suction on tiled floors, and great at collecting big and small bits. Wish the charge lasted a little longer, but that might just be because I'm comparing it to a regular vacuum cleaner as the suction is so good. The ability to use it as an upright, or remove the main stem and have a smaller handheld vacuum is great.

Convenient

published

It is good on floor boards and tiles and short carpet. Really convenient as i do not have to take out the old vaccum and plug it in in everyroom. Does run out of battery fast but it is ok for our 3 bed room house. The only thing is that it really struggle on my shaggy rug.

Easy to use, though the noise level could have been lower

published

The good thing is its small size, which is easy to use and convenient to store in the store room. Works on hard floor as intended. I tried on carpet it worked okay.

The noise level is very high consider its small size. As I am staying in a one bedroom apartment, the battery is sufficient. If your cleaning area is large you might have to recharge.

Vacuuming almost fun now

published

Bought the v6 fluffy as we mainly have hard wood floors. Does a good a job as a decent corded vacuum without the hassle. Can do most of our smallish house on a single charge. I also do a few odd jobs and is great at cleaning up after with the attachments. Pretty good for car but this is the only timer I find I run out of charge (about 15 to 20 mins). Definitely recommend

Why is my dyson v6 fully charging but only lasting for 2 minutes?

Is the power suction button on?How old is your dyson?May be it needs a battery change?Always make sure that you don't put it on charging right away after using give it some time to cool off and then put it on charging, it helps to prolong the battery life I guess.
