Good products and very handy

published

Received the item as gift and is extremely good products suitable for small house due to battery life. Battery only last for 20 mins and takes around 6hrs to get full charge. So, this products can only be recommended for the family with small houses. Comes with it's dock which is very easy to hang on the wall.

Very good product, worth the price

published

It's lightweight and handy to use on a daily basis. It has very good suction like every other Dyson vacuum but it needs to be on power boost, only lasting 10 min or so. It's easy to empty and clean, and it's also great on both rugs and wooden floors alike. Worth the money.

Great for quick everyday cleans

published

We have a large tiled area and the fluffy attachment does a fantastic job of picking up stuff that my canister vac just pushes around. It isn't great on carpets but it does a good enough job that I can do a little whizzing round with this handheld and job is done. This model has 20mins of battery life but that is honestly as much time as I want to waste cleaning. The fluffy head is easily washed but I find lots of hair gets stuck wrapped around the spinning head which is a pain to cut out.

Very handy! Perfect for quick clean ups!

published

We already own another model of Dyson vacuum so there was never a question about the brand's reliability and durability. We decided to purchase the V6 Fluffy primarily for use in the car. We have two kids and that equates to a not so clean car. This stick vacuum just hits the right spot! It's so light and the suction is great. Perfect for quick clean ups! I am very satisfied with its performance. We also use it on our tile floors for when a quick tidy up is needed.

Works well in

published

Its a great addition for the house if you do not want to lug a traditional vacuum around, its lightweight enough. It is quite lightweight and can go for a good 10 minutes on max power.

Works well on hardwood floors if you use the attachment that comes with the machine.

Great portability to use anywhere

published

Being a cordless vacuum, it removes the constraints of movement and allows to be used literally anywhere without having the trouble to find a power outlet. The light weight streamline design makes it very user friendly. The suction is sufficient, however, only downside is the battery time which may need to be charged quite frequently.

Very handy and vacuums well!

published

Overall quite happy with the performance of the V6. We've also used a V8, so in comparison, the V6 does feel less powerful. However, still picked up plenty of dust and did the job. It's very light and easy to maneuver. Sound-wise, it sounds noisier than the V8, but still within reasonable limits. Battery life was longer than I expected. I vacuumed for around 15 mins and it still had plenty of power for a quick vacuum the next day. The display wasn't very clear at telling me how much battery was left. The dust collection bin is definitely smaller than the v8, but wasn't a huge hassle to empty. I actually prefer how the v6 dust bin empties - it's more straightforward than the v8.
Overall very happy with the v6. Definitely does it's job well.

LIght n Easy :)

After reading lot of good reviews about Dyson, I finally bit the bullet and bought V6 (Fluffy). I don’t think I will ever go back to the corded Vacuum as I absolutely love the convenience of cord free vacuuming. Since I purchased it, it hasn’t run of battery even once. It is so light that even wifey loves it too and doesn’t mind vacuuming so it’s a plus for me :)
I always used to buy cheap <$100 vacuum from Target/Ikea but I have no regret that I spent more than $400 for this one as it’s completely worth it.

As expected, this model does extremely well on Carpets but not so good on hard floors.

So handy

published

I love this vacuum and find it super easy to use. It comes with a great range of head adaptors and is quite powerful. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to have a long skinny to be adaptor so I can get into some of the narrow areas in my home. But overall a great buy.

Great product!

published

So glad we bought this Dyson. The suction of this machine is amazing! It vacuums so much dust from our carpet compare to our old Electrolux vacuum cleaner. it is very light and easy to handle. The only downside is the removal of dust and dirt from the container, as dirts and dust seem to fly everywhere once it is opened. There must be a better way or design to improve this I hope.

Very poor battry life

published

Just purchased the v6 ladt week to use cleaning the car. Have tried it twice now and each time the battry dies within about 5 mns just using the simple crevice tube. Very poor that it cant ladt long enough to give the car a quick clean. Much cheaper cleaners have lasted much longer and better.

This small hand held vacuum makes life so much easier on my wooden floors throughout my house. I don't need to drag the large barrel vacuum around and because it is so easy to use, the house stays cleaner. The soft head doesn't scratch my floors which was its best feature.

Date PurchasedMar 2017

Pretty good. Reliable.

published

Not as easy to use as i had originally thought, but in all a good vacuum. The suction is consistent and reliable. The design is generally ok also. It is so easy to store and emptying contents is a breeze. The dust suction is excellent however i am not sure if is comparably good.

Brilliant even better than my ducted vacuum.

Fantastic suction. Works brilliant on my floor boards and carpet. Great for stair case.
Only issue you have to hold the on switch while vaccuming. The model I purchased came with additional accessories fantastic for all the hard to reach areas and getting cobwebs down and dust off skirting boards.

Should have made this purchase sooner!

I have a large open plan home with hardwood floors, scatter rugs and shedding pets. The Fluffy is great at picking up dog and cat hair and is lightweight and easy to use. With enough battery charge to do the high traffic areas & some. Great on the stairs and hard to reach places. Very happy with this purchase

Average. Good battery life but difficult to maintain.

Fabulous Vacuum When it Works

published

I've had this for less than 3 months and I love it when it works. I find it takes longer to clean the V6 Fluffy than it does to vacuum my whole 10 room home. My motorised cleaner head rarely works and I've had the whole lot apart so many times I'm just stressed out with it too much. It's not working now and is pretty useless to me without this tool as its the main one I use. I've decided to send it back to QVC for a full refund. Such a shame as it was fabulous when it worked.

V6 Fluffy

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.

Thanks Tash,
It needs a new Battery which costs About $125, only 29 Months old. Have always done the right thing with looking after it as it was so expensive
