Dyson - V6 Total Clean Bagless Cordless Hand Vac - Blue/nickel

Great idea for fast stuff... battery last very little but over all great for fast jobs

This stick vac is a beast on solid floors as well as carpets with the included attachments. Living at the beach, you tend to get more sand on your floor than what's at the beach some days. And the dachshunds don't seem to help matters either. Those little low riders will bring in a dune on their undersides if you are not careful. I was pleased with how the fluffy roller and the super auction picks up sand and other debris on solid floor without flinging it across the room. The collection bin is super simple to empty without even touching the yuck. Yes the battery only lasts for about 20 minutes (manual says 6 minutes when using max mode, but mine seems to keep on sucking past the 6 minute mark), but this vac is perfect for those quick and dirty little daily cleaning jobs like the entry way, kitchen floor, dog beds, and yes your vehicle. I was so impressed with this vac that I purchased a second for mom. The light weight and ease of use is perfect for those days when the RA is set in.

vac works well, on sale it's a good deal coming with more attachments than the more expensive v6 motorhead (399.99 vs 379.99). No need for an in depth review all these handhelds are exactly the same. For a large home get the v8 or corded, 20 mins wont be enough. If you have an apartment or under 1000sqft should work well. Can kinda clean an entire car on one charge if it's super dirty on regular setting, no way on max. If you keep up with cleaning would be no issue to max power clean any car out before the battery dies.

I have resisted this brand for years because of its price tags. I was looking for a cordless stick vac and had even recently bought (and then resold because it couldn't handle pet hair) a different brand, so when this "Deal of the Day" arrived in my inbox I immediately started researching it. This model is perfect for my needs. We have four (rescue) dogs and I also foster, so there are always "tumbleweeds" of pet fur and hair skimming across the hardwoods, sticking to the rugs, and floating through the air, especially when the AC is on. I needed something lightweight, highly maneuverable (to get those pet-hair dust bunnies under the furniture), and preferably cordless with enough power and that WOULDN'T CLOG. This satisfies all of those needs and more! It's aesthetically attractive, too, so I mounted it in my combination craft/dog supplies room. Don't buy this if you need a long-lasting charge: on MAX power it'll only last 6 minutes or less; on regular power (which is sufficient for our needs) it'll last up to 16 minutes. It takes 3.5 hours to charge so plan accordingly. However, I have never owned any vacuum whose pipes and accessories were so easy to install/uninstall, whose design was so sleek, almost elegant (including the charger and mount), and whose operation was so intuitive. Kudos to the design and manufacturing teams.

I own a Dyson like this so I bought this one for my oldest son's family. Pro: Mine is so easy to use, is always charged and ready to go, and the most amazing thing is that it will do all the hardwood and tile areas in my house (about 3000 square feet) on one charge. It is the "go to" vacuum in my home. Con: While this vac always has a strong suction, the texture of some rugs can tax the floor rotor motor and battery.

For a long time, I resisted purchasing of Dyson products owing to the high prices. Eventually, I purchased the Dyson V6 Total Clean. As a Mechanical Engineer myself, I simply love their technology. However, the V6 has three weaknesses: (a) 20-min battery run-length is inadequate, (b) dirt canister is too small, and (c) emptying of canister is messy and difficult; I used my other floor vacuum, with the crevice tool attached, to clean the small annular space with little success. For the above-mentioned deficiencies, within two weeks, I exchanged my V6 Total Clean with V8 Absolute! The added expense is really worth it, and thanks to Dyson for making vacuuming actually an enjoyable task! I no longer consider vacuuming a chore, and am actually looking forward to my next chance to clean the house! I love the 40-min battery run-length. Emptying of the larger canister is so easy (just lift a lever) and complete, I no longer use the other floor vacuum to clean the Dyson! As for an area to improve, Dyson should consider replacing the trigger lever with an on-off push-button; currently, my index finger gets a little tired after 5 min or so, but I can simply change my hand, as necessary.

I have a LOT of wood floors and often its hard to sweet everything. I also wanted something easy to pull off the wall and quickly clean the floors without plugging it in or worrying about how far my cord will go. This device does the trick! I had a different model that just wasn't doing the trick. I knew I should have invested in a dyson in the first place. Plus, this has so many attachments. I can't say I love cleaning now but it sure does make it easier!

We have a brand new puppy. That puppy has turned a portion of our backyard into her own personal sand pit. Every day and all day our floors and furniture are covered with sand and whatever esle she fancies that day. This vacuum is extremely light weight and easy to use, I can just pull it from the charger and in 5 minutes have the high traffic areas and furniture whenever I need to! Which as you can imagine is at least a few times daily, but because is so light and quick(and NO cords!!!) I can run it as much as needed. With the old bulky corded vacuums, that was simply not possible. But with this, I have been able to keep up so that any dirt or debris does not pile up! Also, underneath my furniture as never been cleaner! 2 drawbacks = the different attachments are great, but it would be great to have a storage/wall mount option included. #2, I empty the chamber after every use, but sometimes I have to go in and clean the excess off of the filter since it gets stuck. Both issues are minor for me, but in case that information helps anyone I thought that I should note them.
