QuestionWill this work on frieze style carpet?? I had a similar type of vacuum but it was too light and just went sideways with each push.
Asked 6 years ago by mlsandee.
- Answer Not sure on frieze carpet but on my carpet the head did not go side ways. The suction was very strong and picks up items my old vacuum always missed.

QuestionDo you have to attach the docking station to the wall? If yes do you have to drill holes in the wall?
Asked 6 years ago by Oleg.
- Answer I have two, one is attached to the wall (yes if you attach to wall you will have to drill holes for screws) and the other one is not hanging, I just plug it in, so it is not necessary to hang the vacuum. Although I am going to hang it up as it is more convenient.

QuestionHOW LONG TO RECHARGE AND HOW MUCH RUN TIME WITH A FULL CHARGE
Asked 6 years ago by SUMM3073.
- Answer Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson V6 Cordless models will take 3.5 hours to fully charge, once the battery is completely depleted. The run time can vary, depending on if using the vacuum in MAX or regular power mode. Regular power should be sufficient for most household messes, and in that mode, the machine will run up to 20 minutes on a full charge. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

QuestionCan the vac be tilted enough to vacuum under beds and sofas?
Asked 7 years ago by MimiM.
- Answer Definitely yes! With the normal configuration, vac+tube+power head - the bottom of the canister could actually drag on the floor and the powerhead will lay flat.

QuestionAre the tools/attAchments that you get with a given level (Absolute/Animal )v6 identical to tools/attachments with the v10?
Asked 7 years ago by Matt.
- Answer No, they're better, but also interchangeable, and the wall mounted charger is interchangeable as well. The long skinny wand is longer but without the slack-ish button extension. The small static brush is better, it has two positions now so it doesn't cut the air flow and shut off the motor as much. BIG change is there is a hand-held beater bar that is amazing and doesn't cut off the motor at all. I had the v10 magenta one. This one is lighter and WAY better all the way around.

QuestionI am having trouble completely emptying the dirt canister in my Animal V-6. Is there some better way? The dirt/pet hair is really compacted. Thanks.
Asked 8 years ago by mrsblossom.
- Answer Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for reaching out regarding your V6. It is recommended to empty the canister before debris goes over the MAX line. In the event, that debris does go over the MAX line and you notice a build up along the top, the canister can be completely separated by using the bin release catch with the bin lid open.

QuestionWhat's the suction power? Is this less than Dyson ball multi floor bagless upright vacuum?
Asked 8 years ago by Jade.
- Answer I have one of the smaller Dyson ball multi floor bagless uprights. I think the suction on the animal stick, using the small/large rotating heads have more suction when using the high setting.

QuestionWhere does the dirt go? It's so thin & small. I have mostly carpet and wonder if I'll be cleaning the receptacle as I go from room to room. Maybe this question is foolish but if anyone can answer, I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks all!

This question was asked about the related product: Dyson - V6 Animal Extra Bagless Cordless Stick Vacuum - Purple
- Answer Hi there! Thank you for your interest in the V6. The V6, like all of the Dyson vacuums has a clear canister which collects the debris. The bin size is .11 gallons. Therefore, how often you need to empty the canister does depend on how often it is used and how much debris is collected. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service
