Dyson V6 Animal Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

These measurements represent how much suction each vacuum has on the floor, independent of debris type.

In addition, the release mechanism didn't inspire any durability concerns like its larger companions. The dust container and cyclones have been rotated 90 degrees, so that everything sits in a straight line. If you're after the very best cordless vacuum cleaner on the market, the Dyson V11 Absolute can't be beaten.

It performed exceptionally well on hard floors and carpets alike, and it has a handy illuminated floor head and hardy brush mode that made light work of leeching dust and debris from my rugs. In the box you'll also find an illuminated Fluffy Optic floor head for hard floors, a low-reach adaptor to help you clean under sofas and chairs, and a charging cable that can be used with or without the wall dock.

The CHOICE Expert Rating is made up of hard floor dirt pick-up (30%), ease of use (30%), pet hair removal (15%), thorough carpet clean (10%) and quick carpet clean (15%).Where other vacuums often seem to just push the hair in deeper, the V10 Animal really dives in to get them out. The Stratus picks up both short and long hair equally well, which will make it especially good for cleaning up pet hair. It comes with a great range of attachments: a crevice tool, a multi surface dusting tool, a dedicated pet tool and an accessory bag. It is not good on bin size, I need to empty it every few minutes, which is a pain, but the performance makes up for that. That's a great trade, and since you no longer have to pay twice as much as any other stick vacuum to get it, the solid performance of the Dyson v6 shines even brighter than before.

Illuminates the microscopic dust and dirt you can’t normally see on hard floors – revealing twice the amount of invisible dust. You'll still find a direct drive cleaner head, soft roller cleaner head, docking station and a charger in the box, however, the quick-release attachments are different. The fibers sit close enough together to trap debris, but they're also fine enough that they release the debris so that the suction can carry it to the bin.With separate heads for carpets and hard floors, a smaller direct drive head for sofas and stairs, a crevice tool and a multi-function brush tool, the V6 Absolute has more accessories than some full-size vacuums. As with all appliances we review, we put the v6 through a series of rigorous tests to assess both performance and usability. The pink extension tube clips on and off easily, with terminals sending power from the vacuum to the brush head when you use one of the direct drive attachments. Though distinctly underpowered, I loved the compact design of Hoover’s cordless model, its simple controls and its easy-empty dust container. You can only expect about 40 minutes of runtime in its default power mode, and it takes just as long to recharge.

In the box, you'll find a direct drive cleaner head, soft roller cleaner head, docking station, and a charger. Unfortunately, its compact, lightweight design comes at the cost of debris capacity, as it has a pretty small dustbin that you'll need to empty often. A pet peeve of mine is vacuum attachments with nowhere to put them, so I loved this feature more than I probably should. I found the trigger to be very responsive, sometimes too responsive in that I accidentally depressed it a few times while carrying the Dyson from place to place. Even the entry-level variant of the V15 comes with a wide selection of attachments, including a soft-roller floorhead with a laser light to help you see small debris on bare surfaces and a conical turbo brush.The latter is a testament to the v6's suction power as well as the fine, closely-space carbon fiber bristles. As if all that tech wasn’t enough, the Roidmi vacuum can also charge wirelessly, by leaning against a charging port designed to be stuck on your wall.
