Dyson - V6 Motorhead Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum - Fuchsia/Iron

This thing is awesome. Its light weight and powerful. The way the dirt canister opens can be a little awkward but it just takes a little getting used to. The battery life highly depends on whether or not you are using the unit on MAX power. It runs about 15 min on max. So depending on how big your house is it might take you a couple charges. We love this thing for our hardwood floors.

Awesome power for a small vacuum works great for getting into small and tight places .Use it daily picks up everything great on dog hair.

Great suction, easy to use, only problem is on max suction battery life is on the shorter side

I read many review before deciding to buy this vacuum. I have tons of pet hair, and I went with the motorhead unit to get more brush power to get more hair. This vacuum works very well and I have plenty of battery life to use it how I want to use it. This doesn't completely replace my Dyson upright, but I didn't intend for it to. I use this vacuum to spot clean when I see clumps of hair, or I spill something. It is quick and easy to just go grab this vacuum rather than unroll a cord and plug in the upright. Using the wand and tools, it is very easy to clean cobwebs from ceiling corners and baseboards. Suction power is great, and when you use the "max" mode is really does suck (in a good way!). Though max mode will really cut down your battery life.

I spent a lot of time going back and forth between the other options in Dyson's Cordless Stick Vacuum lineup. I needed something that would work on tile floors, rugs, carpet, and needed it to be good at picking up animal hair. I concluded that all of Dyson's options have the same internal specifications and power...the only difference is the attachments that come with each one. Originally I wanted the V6 Animal since I have a dog, but I was unwilling to pay the $100 difference simply for two attachments. Then, BB had the V6 Motorhead as their "Deal of the Day" for under $300 so I figured I would go for it. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and have no complaints so far! I know other reviewers may complain about the battery life, but it's perfectly fine for my small apartment and I haven't run out of juice in each individual use yet. The first time I used it, the V6 Motorhead picked up a crazy amount of hair/dirt/who knows what else and it made me feel much better about the quality of my new vac vs. what I had been using. On another note: most of the attachments are for sale individually so they can be bought later. Overall, this is a great item if you're willing to spend the $ on it...I would wait for it to go on sale before committing though!

I saw another reviewer write that you shouldn’t be able to review a vacuum unless you’ve had it at least six months. I’ve only had this one about 30 days, so consider this your disclaimer. Short version: I would buy it again (at the sale price) and overall am happy with the unit. Longer version: The docking station used to mount it to the wall is very well designed, with thoughtful touches like an “s” bend in the cord to prevent it accidently getting pulled out. However, they didn’t include mounting screws in the package, surprising given the price point. The unit charges fairly quickly and does seem to do a good job of picking up stuff with the direct drive cleaner head. The crevice tool and combination accessory tool don’t seem to do as good of a job; considering they aren’t powered this makes sense I guess. Here’s where the 30 days to six month issue comes in, while the parts go together easily they don’t seem secure. In other words, the pieces tend to wobble a bit once connected. Short term I see no issues with this, but it concerns me for the long term durability of the unit. Considering how well the other parts are designed, I’m surprised at this and would have expected a stiffer connection to the extension tube when it’s connected. Run time seems good but I would have liked to have seen a power level indicator on the battery. My cordless yard tools have this and it lets me not start a section that I won’t be able to finish. Emptying the bin is pretty painless but it does fill up quick, would have liked to have seen a little bigger bin on here. Again, I would recommend this product at the right price and overall have been happy with it, so consider these minor criticisms in that context.

We have had this for over a month now and I have never been happier with a vacuum. I have an 11 and 8 year old and they are constantly offering to use it because it's so great. The best part is, it's light enough for them to carry upstairs to their bedrooms and sweep without my help at all. I have a 3 year old white lab and dark floors, hair shows constantly. We use to sweep it with a broom everyday, not anymore! This is amazing. I have never had the battery run out on me and had to wait for it to charge. I just keep it on the charger constantly and use it and plug it back in. I swept my entire basement, my huge couch and the basement steps with no problems. Highly recommended! And it's not even just the convenience of a light-weight, cordless vacuum. It is the most powerful vacuum I've ever owned!

I was looking for an effective, cordless, light weight vacuum & decided to purchase the Dyson for several reasons. While the vacuum is far more expensive than other competitors, it claimed to last for 20 minutes & performed for about that time. Similar vacuums lasted about 12 minutes. The "max" power only works for about 5 minutes. I generally use the "max" mode when cleaning my car. The accessories are simple enough & are stored nicely on the wall doc, however the connection (where the hose and piece connect) doesn't have a sturdy feel. It hasn't broken yet (hopefully it doesn't) & I use the vacuum at least once a week. The dust bin is small & I frequently have to empty it, however, it's simple to empty and is expected in a handheld vacuum. I like the suction power of the vacuum, even though it was louder than I expected. It works great on my wood floors and is very simple to maneuver. I also like that it doesn't require air filters. Most competitors did require air filter replacements. Overall, I would recommend this product because it performs as advertised.
