Perfect for quick cleanups

published

Bought this for my mums B'day and didn't expect it to be as good as it is. The price was $250 on special at HN and even though I thought it would be just for around the kitchen, my mum uses it in the whole house for dog hair and the lot. Plenty of suction and the motor head is excellent. Cleaning it is also easy, if I had to comment on anything negative it would be that the cylinder could be bigger for holding what it sucks up.

published

Works like a charm, its low and high settings work great on both carpeted, tiled and wodden floors, its low to medium weight make it easy to move around and maneuver it isn't the quietest thing in the world but is it quiet compared to other vacuums, i can vacuum an area of 4sq meters in no more than 5 minutes

BEST Vacuum Ever!!!

published

First of all, very hesitate to invest so much $$$ just for a vacuum. However, after I tried my friend's Dyson, there's no turning back. It has a so called "turbo" feature where the machine sucks stronger. I couldn't describe my experience, as I only can ask prospect buyer to give it a try and experience it by themselves. You won't regret buying Dyson vacuum as it will last very long.

My new GO TO vacuum!!!

published

I love my Dyson V6!!! It is my quick tool to grab and quickly clean up the front entrance or back door mud area.
It is cordless and surprisingly holds a charge quite long. No bag just push a button and you can empty the dirt very easily. The motor recharges very quickly within an hour and ready to go for more clean up. Better than the old dust buster for it does have 3 attachments allowing you to clean furniture, your car, etc.... The only negative is the color...hot pink!!! But who cares, it does a great job. I am not looking for another charger so I can plug it in on other floors within the house. Love it!!!

Good on carpet. Terrible on hard floors

published

Expensive for its performance. Battery life is okay but not great. Works well on carpet but not on hard floors. Lino is the worst as the suction lifts the lino and the vacuum is very hard to push around the room. After speaking to Dyson over the phone I was told the hard floor cleaning head was not available for this model for purchase even though it fits. Very disappointed. Bad customer service will not buy a Dyson again.

The worst vacuum cleaner ever

published

Very poor performance it's like a toy for Playmmobile, very dissatisfied a lot of promises in the add, my 20 years old vacuum cleaner did work better. A real ripoff!!
Stay away from Dyson The heater I bought with this item is terrible too.
Very expensive pieces of rubbish indeed!

What did I do before I found this little miracle machine.

published

I am very happy with this machine, has great suction power, cleans up any little messes like sand, dirt and leaves that have been brought inside by my Labradoodle Cassie and she does this everyday. My hard and carpeted areas are cleaned in no time, I just grab the stick and it's all done in a few minutes. Simple and easy to empty and popped back on charge ready for the next onslaught. My house is only small, 27sqr metres, my "magic stick" has the house in order in no time.

Brilliant

published

A 34sq house is not easy to clean. I needed a light and fast way to clean the tiled portion of the house and this is where the Dyson v6 slotted in quite nicely. It's battery runs the whole 20mins as advertised and the test turn out quite clean. I highly recommend this product

Love it! Makes life easierwe

published

With kids and a dog being able to quickly and easily vacuume small areas often is life changing. Another brilliant Dyson product. We were nervous the battery would not last long enough for us but we have no problems vacuuming the whole house on the normal setting. When on max the battery will run out faster but normal works brilliantly for most of the time. Easy to store, easy to use. Love it!!!

Horrible Battery Life

published

I love the different attachments it comes with and how easy it is to change them out. But what I absolutely HATE is the battery life! I understand it's not a huge battery but I only get 10 to 15 minutes of run time! I thought maybe I got a bad battery so I called Dyson to inquire about the problem and the lady said if I'm getting 10 to 15 minutes of run time I'm doing good because they typically only run 7 to 10 minutes! Are you kidding me? Over $300 for a vacuum and it takes 3 days to vacuum my whole house.
If I still had the box I would have returned it.

Vacuum cleaning is a breeze

published

After buying this Dyson handstick it has been a breeze to clean the house.

I also have a Miele vacuum cleaner and another hand vacuum cleaner and cleaning with Miele used to be a big weekly chore(but much better than cheap sets, this one actually cleans but like all bulk vacuum cleaners a little bit difficult).

But with Dyson V6 i clean the house alteast 2-3 times and car atleast once in 2 weeks....sooo easy to use this.
I have 2-year-old boy and needs constant carpet cleaning and this is the best time saving product !
Never ran out of battery for a three bed room unit even on Max settings.

100% recommended !

Great product... shows exactly what old vacuum wasn't picking up!

published

Cleans so well and easy to use without cords! Would highly recommend especially for carpets and tiles. Light too so would be very good for the elderly. Charges up within two hours and lasts for a full clean of standard three bedroom house. Would be keen to try other Dyson products now

Should have bought one sooner!

published

Excellent performance. I had already vacuumed and then used the Dyson. I couldn't believe how much dust and dog fur the other vac left behind. It's like a super clean! It is easy to handle and move around especially as there are no cords to get in the way.Its packs up nicely and is quite compact. I have porcelain tiles and carpet, so much easier and almost enjoyable to clean now.

Save your money this is a useless vacuum

published

First of all, I love Dyson products and have purchased fans and a larger vacuum. I bought this to essentially vacuum the kitchen daily. It is hopeless, the Motorhead is annoying, it can't vacuum cheerios, cornflakes, rice is a struggle. It flicks debris everywhere rather than up the vacuum! I am completely underwhelmed by this handheld. Had I known it was like this I definitely would not have purchased it, it sits in my cupboard. I don't recommend it at all, save your money!

Fantastic use multiple times daily

published

I love this vacuum as it gets the finer dust out of the carpet it is fantastic with children I could use it at least 3 times a day. My only negative is that the battery does last all that long. I have learnt to vacuum as fast as possible

Great for carpet, not for hard floors. Hard to empty and stuff gets stuck

published

I love this vacuum for carpet. Its super convenient, lightweight, portable and easy to empty and had a powerful suction. However, it is continually getting stuff and fluff stuck in the barrel near the area where it comes out into the barrel. Its getting seriously annoying.

It doesn't suck up stuff very well on hard floors, I find that things get sprayed forwards and i have to vacuum over the floor a couple of times to pick all the dust and little bits up.

If you want a handstick that is great on both carpet and hard floors, buy the Absolute. It comes with two heads, one for carpet and one for hardfloors. It would be worth the extra money.

V6 Motorhead

My Dyson V6 Motorhead cordless vacuum- the motorhead has stopped spinning and there's hardly any suction. I've cleaned it fully and nothing is stuck. The vacuum works with different attachments. Just the motorhead doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

Have you completely pulled the brush spin part out?

Sometimes hair around the brush at the ends stops it spinning. But the product is cheap. I’m buying a new brush end off eBay as mine stopped working after a year or two

V6 Motorhead

My wife and I love the Dyson we currently have however, it has been blowing dust out of the back of it after the canister as been emptied. It also has been doing this once the canister is re-attached. Could this be a problem with the filter needing cleaned/ replaced?

2 answers

So the air filter just pulls out at the top of the motor, recommend cleaning once/twice a week if using everyday

We certainly wouldn't expect any Dyson machine to blow dust out of itself.

We would kindly ask you to get in touch directly with our Dyson Experts via [email protected] and we will be happy to help get this sorted.

do i have too screw the docking station onto a wall or can i just leave it propped up against the wall?

Dyson Team ..Dyson

It's best not to leave the machine sitting propped against a wall while charging in case it gets knocked over and damaged. We'd suggest to charge the machine with the power cord while it's sitting on a flat surface, or install the charger into the docking station and install the docking station on a wall.
