Dyson - V6 Absolute Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum - Nickel/Red

I am a Disabled Vet in a wheelchair, I have several Vacuums from IRobot's to a Red Devil. but this has all I am looking for in a vacuum, light weight and small enough to carry around to get where the problem is without frightening the lil dogs and cat. The tools give the power to take on big jobs when I need too!! So far it has been a privilege to limber it up and get the work done (and to think, "No chords to be confined too!!" The best money I have spent, thank-you BestBuy for being there for what I needed!

Absolutely love the vacuum. Has a lot of power very happy with this product.

Like it very much light weight makes it quick and easy to use, But the Big Down Fall of the Stick is the battery which is not removable and does not last very long before it needs to be charged should have a removable and should come with 2 battery's.

This was a Mother’s Day gift which happens to be tomorrow. I was very disappointed that the box arrived damaged. But I was angry when I realized it was shipped from Best Buy already damaged. How do I know? Because there is Best Buy printed inspection tape all over the damaged area of the box. Unacceptable! And even more angry when customer service said they could not replace it at this time, my only choice was to return. Ridiculous.

It is a Dyson! I have used an old one of these before and they still pick up stuff that many new vacuums don't... even when you are doing a price point comparison. I have been eyeballing the canister version for a while, however, I just moved to the SF Bay Area into a ity-bity living space (miss you Robin Williams!!!). The Dyson V6 Absolute Cordless... absolutely no disappointments with its function/capabilities vs the canister or uprights versions. The direct drive head doesn't have the same spring articulated mechanism as the uprights... but that is ok... it will suck it up anyways. Not quite as allergy friendly as the uprights either. When I use it my air cleaner kicks on to a faster speed because it detects the increased dust in the air. The Dyson Animal I used while I had the same air cleaner didn't seem to set it off. Not quite as balanced as described with any of the powered/turbine heads attached. However, with the brush and crevice tools attached, it is much closer to being balanced. The brushed motorhead works well on carpet and hard floors. Be careful on runners and loose rugs/etc as, mentioned previously, this thing will suck anything up including them. The "fluffy" motorhead works great on hard floors, I however don't use it as much since I have fluffy animals which makes the "fluffy" head something else to get pet hair out of. The reason for the sans one star is because all of the accessories it comes with doesn't neatly store onto the storage bracket it comes with. This neat and tidy looking thing, sadly leaves me wanting when it comes to putting it away after cleaning my house. The other reason is the canister... pet hair and dust/dirt gets sucks in places that are hard to clean out and will start to make this look like it is out of some 80s scifi movie. Quick pros and cons... Pros: It sucks... up everything! (even w/o pushing the "MAX" button) Lightweight... and balanced enough to not be too awkward to use overhead Battery lasts long enough to get through a 700sq ft apartment with long haired animals Less bulky/awkward than the uprights, I can get under furniture where the Uprights can't Did I mention it sucks up everything? Cons: Around the same price as its corded, slightly more capable siblings Storage caddy doesn't store everything... or even half of everything it comes with Canister is hard to clean (and a tad small) Power cord is shorter than desired Not as allergy friendly (but really not that bad either) My last two cents on the matter... if you don't have storage space because you live in tight quarters, this is awesome (aside from the clutter of accessories). If you have the room to store an upright but don't want the bulk of the ball/canister for tighter places to clean, get the canister. If allergens are a huge concern, they have allergy friendly versions but I think their upright or canister versions would probably do you just fine.

I never knew it was possible to wake up in the morning and look forward to vacuuming dirty floors. I would have laughed at anybody who told me that. Then I bought this Dyson. It was expensive, and I was convinced I would have buyers remorse. Then I got it home, assembled, and charged. To vacuum with this is to experience temporary bliss while enjoying it's ease of use, smoothly articulating cleaner head, and watching it drag dirt particles kicking and screaming into its dirt receptacle. The bare floor cleaner head traps dirt and larger objects instead of spitting them outside the side of the vacuum like my regular upright vacuum. The carpet cleaning head with it's carbon fiber bristles to agitate the carp fibers caused me to be embarrassed when I realized how disgusting my carpet was because the container filled with dirt and hair like no other vacuum I'd used. If you try this vacuum, you'll quickly realize how well made it is, how well it cleans, and how you can't go back to living without it.

This is my second purchase of a Dyson cordless vacuum, and I would buy another one in a heartbeat (if I had to). My previous Dyson was the simplest handheld version without any special attachments; plus, after 5 years of use, the battery was not performing well anymore and the turbo mode "MAX" button somehow got stuck. Even though, I was mightily pleased with all the use I got out of it. Enter Dyson V6 Absolute: - Very easy to vacuum any type of floor due to its long tube - Highly maneuverable mechanized heads (one for carpet and one for hard floors) - Almost 20 minutes of continuous vacuuming - Lightweight - Powerful suction - Cordless design allows you to use it with a moment's notice anywhere in the apartment / house - Very good at picking up any sized dirt particles, pet hair from both carpet and hard floor - BEST OF ALL: You get to see how much dirt you are collecting in real time!!! (the dust collection compartment is transparent) You might be surprised how much dust is hiding in your carpet... The only downside I suspect is that the mechanized heads and the pivot could be damaged if you bump them too hard on an obstacle. It hasn't happened me, but they are plastic, so who knows... Also, the battery (like any battery) will eventually fail to hold a charge, but my previous Dyson's battery worked very well for 5 years, so I am hopeful about this one as well. Besides, a replacement battery is probably available directly from Dyson, so it may be a non-issue.

Being a very frugal person, I was hesitant to spend this much on a cordless vac, but read that the battery can be replaced, and it's the only cordless I read about that keeps allergens sealed within. A hepa filter means nothing without a tight seal and great suction. I also was concerned about it running out of charge quickly. That hasn't been a problem, because you can cover a lot of ground in a hurry, and it recharges quickly, so just take a short break. Also, using it is quick and almost fun, so every time I see a spider web , I grab it for a minute. I'm vacuuming more often ( I hate corded vacs.), so I seldom need to devote a lot of time at once. The power is as good as any corded vacs. I've used.. I empty the canister outdoors, due to allergies. My only complaint would be that dusting with the attachments added to the extension tube is awkward. I also was concerned about where I could hang this to charge without causing eyesore. The body is small, so instead of hanging , it can sit on the living room floor, camouflaged by furniture, with the tube disconnected and hidden behind a cabinet. It can go under a sofa or upholstered chair, etc. I have an Electrolux cordless, that I've enjoyed, but when it's battery started to go after 2 yrs, I noticed thick dust buildup on the exterior of an unremovable foam filter on top of the vac., indicating that I'm breathing dust coming out, and decided to upgrade to the best cordless I could find for allergy control. I'm glad I sprung for the best Dyson makes. I've only had it about 2 mo., but so far, I'm impressed.
