Dyson V6 Original

Don't waste your money – OK I have had this 2 years now and decided to write a review as I think that's enough time to get used to it. The "good"..... no electric cable and lightweight. The "bad" ... Suction is at best lack lustre especially if you want to pick up anything bigger than a crumb. Objects such as the very smallest "gum nuts" (2-3mm across) and bits of leaves… Read more

or grass will be happily ejected backwards across the floor by the powered head. The base of the waste trap randomly drops open throwing it's contents on the floor for you to pick up all over again. There does not appear to be a fault as such just the catch does not always engage fully. Lastly the battery life.... when new we got 20mins run time, after 2 years we are down to 10 -12 mins so not enough time to vacuum the house in one go anymore - floor area 150sq metres. Dyson suggest buying a new battery pack at $80. Why should I after 2 years and an initial outlay of $459. Conclusion - keep your money and purchase a good old fashioned bagless pull along with a 1200-1500 watt motor that comes with a 2 year warranty and you'll get much better service and value for money. You pay for the brand name which used to be synonymous with quality. I think they missed the target with this model. Will not purchase Dyson again. Sorry guys.

Great little Vac. Has its limitations but very convenient and easy to empty – I have been renovating for over a year and every day I vacuum the house which is always a bit of a mess and crowded as a result of having a whole house load of furniture crammed into half the space. I used my trusty 18v Makita vac for a long time but got sick of cleaning the filter and the smell. I bought the Dyson V6 at The Good Guys mainly for… Read more

the ease of emptying and the HEPA fine filter. I must say it has not disappointed. It's seemingly flimsy ABS plastic body that clips together in what seems to be a way that is designed to break, after a year is still holding together will and I definitely put it through its paces. You do have to take care with it though. Don't ever lean it against the wall and walk away as it will slip to the floor and land with a crash. I don't think it could take many of those. Also when closing the bottom flap after emptying, if you are rough you can bend the under-built clip that holds the door shut. I gently bent it back and it didn't break off but I would want to do that again either. As far as such goes, Dyson claims that their machines have a lot of suction which is true, but my take on it is this..High suction is different to high volume. I have a wood chip collector vac that has way less suction that this Dyson but is such up a great deal of wood chips very quickly. The good aspect of high suction, low volume like the Dyson is that if you are close to the surface you are cleaning it will do a good job of cleaning, However if you are not close to the surface it is rubbish as the vac is unable to draw in a large volume of air and collect objects that are not right against the vac head.

For everyday fine dirt and dust this cordless vac is very good. For larger object such as a plastic lolly wrapper or a small stones or various other objects that REAL people have on their REAL floors its not that great and you are better of picking up anything that isn't dust.

On the plus side the motor head is very maneuverable and can be quickly dismantled to remove the unavoidable bundle of long hair that wraps around the brush. The battery is adequate to scoot around a 100sq meter space at high power. Great for cleaning out the car too.

Best suction, Super ease, Utmost comfort – I was fed up of wired and hefty vacuum cleaners. I was exploring some light weight, good quality vacuum cleaners for my apartment and I came across Dyson V6 Handstick model. After reading some reviews, I decided to give it a try. My biggest concern was drop in suction after some use as it's a problem in many vacuum cleaners. Surprisingly, this… Read more

vacuum cleaner hasn't dropped suction even a bit despite 2 yrs of use. It's very lightweight and it being wireless, you can simply carry it wherever you want. It comes very handy particularly to clean car and other places where wired vacuum won't reach for various limitations. Also, there are various variants of this model available to use it for carpets, house with pets etc. I use mine on carpet as well as tiled floors and it works fine -

there are some helpful connectors that come along with it and some more can be purchased separately from Dyson's website or regular stores. Customer service is amazing - they replace/ repair the part in a very short time if something went wrong though Dyson products are sturdy and fault is unlikely.

The only negative could be that one can use it only for around 20-25 minutes after charging the battery to the full. For a 2-bedroom apartment, this is enough time to vacuum clean all rooms quickly. The time seems very short but one must note that you don't press button/trigger for 20 mins continuously as you move around in house, so probably in 45 mins of cleaning activity, your vacuum needs to be ON for say 20-25 mins. Thus, it's not too bad. Another small issue I have with it is high level of noise but that applies to any good vacuum cleaner which has high suction power.

great customer service – I bought this one a while ago, very handy for a home with kids or pets, works on all surfaces the best thing I like about it is the customer service, I had some issue with the wand, Was broken and wasn't clear how it happened just gave them a call no question sent me a replacement straight away! also, my son is allergic to dust(eczema), this has a great filter Show details

Perfect cleaning arm! – The best in its league and I have used other brands of vacuum cleaners but this one is unmatched - it's light, easy access, use on all floors - couldn't do without it! Show details

Helpful for daily clean – It works well so far. It is much more powerful than my previous philip cordless vacuum cleaner. It would be better if it has a larger battery. The battery can only work for one room area. I have to recharge it again and again. Also, it is not as easy to clean up the inside dust as advertised.

Legit gave me blisters – I was genuinely so surprised to see how bad this product was, given the rave reviews and high price. The head compartment of this vacuum heats up so much that when I'm vacuuming on a hot summer's day, it gave me blisters. Not even a lie. Plus, I couldn't help but get irritated that the vacuum clogs up very easily in every possible compartment, and every 5-6 vacuums I'd have to pull the ENTIRE thing apart.

Rubbish – Works well for first 2 months . Short term product, as the spinning pick up just stops working, the battery turns bad and lasts a maximum of 4 minutes , and the low power mode is useless and sucks nothing up . After complaining, got shipped the wrong part twice. Completely overpriced product with no attempt at making something that lasts more than a couple of months Show details

Good for quick jobs, but the dust collection bin is small. Cleaning the unit is a chore, very hard to not have the dust go everywhere. It probably takes longer to clean then to do the actual vacuuming. Show details

Perfect for easy cleaning – This vacuum is lightweight and compact. The vacuum is easy to use and is convenience for quick cleaning. I have carpet and tiles and the vacuum performs well on both surfaces. Show details

Not the best – Not the best vacuum out having to hold the button down I have a much better one from big w that was only $50 power head tacky and broke within the first few months of owning it Show details

Amazing and Easy to Use – Dyson brand vacuum cleaners are the best I’ve ever had. Decided to get the V6 cordless and it’s amazing. Use it on my tiled floors as well as carpets. It is light and easy to carry upstairs to do bedrooms. Easy to use as you don’t have to deal with cords getting tangled and the heavy weight of the traditional type vacuum cleaners. It deep… Read more

cleans carpets and leaves a very soft feeling under your feet. The different attachments and ease of use is great to vacuum the interior of your motor vehicle. Once you buy a Dyson you won’t look back

My household buddy – This machine is incredible, I use it everywhere, on the tiles , carpet , car and bathroom it's so easy to grab and clean up in a instant it's lightweight and so easy to store not taking up much room , Otis a product that I can't be without and use everyday ! Show details

Overall great – This model under-performed traditional Dyson products I have had in the past but still wasn't bad by any means, was tried on both carpet and tiles with little difference in performance

Incredibly convenient – A really convenient vacuum, easy to clean and easy to take out and use, so it encourages you to vacuum more often. No more worrying about wires. Lifetime warranty is also a plus. Show details

Fantastic – I use this on Mats tiles and floor boards is so good get out so much dust and dirt and fluff it's easy to use and empty and it's so good it's fun to use I used to hate vacuming with my old barrel one Its easy to charge and mount on the wall or cuboard January 31st 2019 Update: Soooooo good Works on any surface socks out deep dust It's… Read more

easy to use and easy to hang

Gets all dog hair

Good value for money

It's easy to change into a hand vacume

Even my husband likes to use it

Great for cleaning the car too

Recommended for any one to use

Only if the design can change – The dyson vacuum cleaners are definitely a game changer product. The motor looks good, no more hassle of cords and easy to store. The only real issue i have with it is the weight proportion. Since the motor is close to the handle, my hands keep hurting after using it for 10 minutes. I wish the motor was towards the lower part of the handle or near the suction tubes like the other cordless product. Also the price is a little steep.  Show details

Best cordless Vac ever! – Dyson have a made a solid Vac that sucks up better than my Vax bagless cyclonic corded Vac. It is easy to clean out and is able to take a fair bit of abuse. Ideal for cars furniture and even cobwebs. The V6 has now been replaced by the V7,V8 and now V10.  Show details

OK for small jobs – This unit mostly gets used on hard wooden flooring and as we have pets, a lot of the work is picking up dog hair; a job it does admirably. It's somewhat less useful on carpet for the limited attempts we've made but it's hardly designed to be a replacement for a normal household vacuum. The battery life in turbo mode is only about 8 minutes so… Read more

unless you are planning on just cleaning up a spill it's better to leave it in normal mode where you'll get around 20 minutes of use from a fully charged battery.

In short. View it as an (expensive and oversized) dust-buster which is ok value if you get it on a special like we did but I'm not overly sure it would be worth paying the normal price for it. If you have a reasonable area to vacuum then you are far better stepping up to one of the full sized models and I'm not convinced it does more than the 3 year old B&D Dust-buster we already had.

Love my dyson! – We bought the Dyson v6 from the good guys a few years ago on sale for the quick vacuums of kids crumbs/mess between big vacuums and we have loved it ever since. We even stopped using the big miele vacuum as often because the Dyson did the trick. We use it on carpet, tiles and also woodfloors with no issues. Works well on all of them, best on… Read more

carpet. Easy to empty and clean plus It will vacuum an entire small house if your quick haha. I’d definitely recommend one!

I love my Dyson!!! – I purchased this vacuum in November and love it. I already own a Dyson DC54 that I have had for years and also love. This is so easy to use and gives a better clean that I was expecting. I use it on my carpets, tiles and floorboards. It works so well. It is so easy to just to grab and use without dragging cords and hoses. I also have a ducted… Read more

vacuum system that was installed when we built our house. I never use it any more - the clean from my Dysons is far superior.

Best vacuum cleanser! – Love this vacuum cleanser! It’s so portable and easy to use. I have younger children so I need something that is light and easy to take out for a quick vacuum. My vacuum stopped working after 2 and a half years and after contacting Dyson, they sent me a new battery out of goodwill. Such great customer service! My vacuum now works perfectly. I only… Read more

wish the suction was slightly stronger and the battery life slightly longer. I also bought the V10 after being so impressed with the V6, and although it is a lot more powerful, I find myself reaching for the V6 more often as it’s so much lighter.

The best affordable cyclonic vacuum cleaner – This is an amazing piece of equipment, and the best affordable cyclonic vacuum cleaner ever, and is the fifth Dyson appliance we have bought, including a pro hairdryer and fan. Their customer service is second to none with great phone support and after sales service, can't recommend them highly enough.  Show details

Works ok for about 2 years – With moderate use, the filter clogs up easily and simply washing it doesn't help in cleaning it. It really needs a deep clean or a replacement filter. Not really 'lifetime' at all. Battery does not hold charge as well as it use to, and seems to lose its capacity quicker than a similar LG stickvax we have. Replacement battery is expensive.  Show details ·  1

Best ever stick vacuum cleaner! – I use this on my tiled floor that also has a large carpet rug. So quick and easy to use as I will give the floor a quick vacuum every day with no hassle. Its also very light and easy to clean. Love my Dyson and will be getting another when needed.  Show details

Don't waste your money – When I bought this product I was very happy with the faster cleaning it provided but after 1 and a half year's motorhead's rotar broke. Called Dyson support, they said a new motorhead is required and I spent $125 for new motorhead. I also purchased few more accessories worth $100 on top of original price of $399. Now just after two years battery… Read more

has died down. Dyson is asking for another $85 for new battery. What an expensive piece of engineering which only provide service for two and and half year. I have to take out my older $50 corded vacuum which is still going solid.

it goes alright – good to use and have had no problems with it so far would recommend.recommend to any friends and family thank you and I'll be back to get more stuff from you guys it could be better but I'm definitely happy and wouldnt go back on it 100% thank you will deffo recomend you  Show details

Not as good as expected – I use my Dyson on laminate wood floors. It doesn't suck as well as other cheaper brands I have found and have had issues with the head, e.g. parts coming loose. But is a good choice for a 2nd vacuum for a quick run over the floors and spot clean  Show details

Changed my life! – We use the Dyson on tiles, carpet and even our sofa! We recently got a puppy & the Dyson has been great to pick up his fur! It is also the perfect size to vacuum the stairs! We would highly recommend this product to anyone who is after an effective vacuum. The money is definitely worth it! Love Love Love!  Show details

Great – Great vacuum for around the house and doing the car etc. Suction is great, I hate that the maximum suction option only lasts a short time (about 7 mins) but the general speed is fine for most things and the battery life goes around the house once or twice before needing charge. when using on thicker shaggy rugs you do need the maximum suction… Read more

speed so gotta rush to get it done but the vacuum is affordable and handles well so I’m not sorry about the purchase. One thing I do hate, when vacuuming for awhile your finger gets sore from holding the trigger, a switch/holding lock would have been nice.

All in all, a solid vac.

Made my life so much easier – This vacuum is amazing in so many ways. It's small and fits perfectly in my home and cleans amazingly. It's easy to use and has such strong suction. It makes me want to do the vacuuming the whole time! Would never be able to go back to using a different vacuum now.  Show details

An awesome vacuum!! Less time spent vacuuming..,love it!! – I use my Dyson on carpet as well as laminate flooring. It performs well on any surface and you’ll be amazed at its suction. Our floors have never been cleaner!! It’s so easy to manoeuvre and easy to empty. I’ve had mine nearly 2 years...worth every cent. It actually makes vacuuming less of a chore...love it.  Show details

It’s ok I guess – I use this product on tile. I find that if your trying to suck up anything larger than say half a tic tac. Your going to have a bad time. The brushes often just flick larger pieces around the floor meaning you have to go over certain spots again. Idea is brilliant. Just not designed to pick up larger items. Brushes easily clogged with hair. And you don’t really get a powerful clean on carpets.  Show details
