A:AnswerI have a Dyson V6 stick vacuum that I consider to be light weight but powerful and it suffices for most jobs. The one I just received is the V8, also a stick vacuum but I’d consider it medium weight as the head is larger and it has more power. Both are significantly lighter than the floor model and much easier to store as well as use. I’d recommend either one of the stick models. Hope that helps.
A:AnswerHi PJ, this is Kelly with Dyson. A few of our machines use dual voltage transformers making them compatible across a range of voltages. This is why the chargers on the cordless state they will work on 110-240 voltage. However, it's still advisable not to use outside the country of purchase.
One of the reasons for advising against the use of machine outside of the country that they are sold in is that the machines are tested and certified to meet that countries regulations and requirements. For example a US machine is tested and certified to UL, ETL and FCC regulations to ensure that it is fit for retail. In the UK this would be BEAB, BS, IEC and CE, Canada CSA and so on. Each country has its own rules and regulations. We do not guarantee that a machine used outside of the country it is sold in meets all of the requirements of the second country. Plus, per the owner's manual it explains not to use internationally to avoid impact

A:AnswerYour BestBuy store can print out a spec sheet about any units available. Then you can decide by trying one on the floor also. The higher the number the heavier & longer the charge time. I love mine & my Mom loves hers too! I think the V8 pet weighs about 5.7 lbs.
A:AnswerHello Tee, this is Kelly with Dyson. The V8 Animal comes with our mini-motorized tool, as well as the combination and crevice tools. If you have pets in the home, the mini motorized head is fantastic on stairs, furniture or other upholstered surfaces.
Best wishes,

A:AnswerI have long haired German shepherds and it honestly gets all the fur they bring in, the way you dump it is super easy also. I clean out my car and vacuum the carpets and then I’ll dump it and it works just perfect, so far all the attachments have stayed unclogged also! My husband loves using it to clean up. As far as cleaning up big fluff it does work but you’ll have to dump it once a big piece is in there. Just keep dumping it out and you should be satisfied
A:AnswerThis is only a vacuum not a wet mop... I use it on tile, wood and carpet, it is an amazing vacuum, lots of suction and so easy to use and keep charged for convenience. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
A:AnswerAmazon sells the soft brushes but I have yet to see any scratching from vacuuming my own hardwood floors. I think the soft brush is just more powerful but with large hair it should have no trouble picking it up.
