“What is the difference between this product and the 'animal'?”

1-8 of 8 Answers

• The Absolute comes with an additional attachment specialized for hard floors. It's great to have if you have a lot of hard floors. Otherwise, I'd get the Animal.

• Hi FAA, It's Vince with Dyson. The Dyson V6 has an improved activation trigger and motorized brush bar. This unit is the first cordless product designed with a Hepa filter. Additionally, the Fluffy power floor tool is designed specifically to handle larger debris like pet food. We will be happy to provide additional information on the functionality of the Dyson V6 via email at [email protected]. Best wishes, Vince

• Only difference is that you DO NOT get the bare floor attachment tool with the "animal" version. everything else is the same.

• The V6 has more suction power and has attachments for both carpet and floor. The Animal just has one all-round floor attachment. The V6 also has two allergen filters that should be rinsed and left out to dry once a month if you use the vacuum on a regular basis.

• Two major differences...price (the animal is at least $200 more) and the Dyson stick vacuums have an IN-BUILT rechargeable battery. So when the charge wears down, you have to plug the entire vacuum into the charger for several hours. The Hoover LiNX also uses a rechargeable battery, but it pops out and goes onto a separate charger--which means, if you buy a spare battery, you can always have power. Just pop in the fresh battery and keep going! I love Dyson products and have two of their upright vacuums. But when it comes to a light-weight, cordless vacuum, Hoover has won this challenge!

• The only difference is the number attachments and the filter as far as i can tell.

• I believe the sales person we spoke with said that it is really just the attachments.
