Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing powerful little vacuum. I like the cordless feature. For carpeted rooms, it will do 1.5 rooms before recharging, but it recharges in 3 hours. Who wants to Vacuum more than one room a day anyway...

This is my first Dyson product. I am blown away by the quality and ease of use. My children use it as much as I do, because it’s light. It’s great for pet hair and wood floors.

I received this as a present. And I was excited to get such a great gift! Normally I would not buy expensive stuff like this for myself, but cleaning the house needs to get done. I thought at first, after seeing the reviews, that the negatives of battery time and small dust cup maybe were just having expectations that were too high. But after using it for a short while, I find those two things to be really frustrating. Why? I have a modest townhouse, with tile/wood floors downstairs. This area needs to be vacuumed each day, and we have a dog with long fur, which makes it even more necessary. My battery vac, which I've bought two of in two years had just broken down again, a motor problem, just out of warranty. And I would use that each night, and I'd fill the dust cup, empty it, and do it again the next day. But with the Dyson, I have to empty the cup 3x for the same cleaning area and conditions. And I find myself draining the battery by the time I'm done - the other battery vac I had, didn't have either issue. Now, I think I'm getting more dirt up, and certainly more dust, it is evident by the amount of stuff filling up the cup. But, while getting the dust up is great, it is hard to get the unit clean. I can remove the dust cup, I can remove the cylindrical filter, but I cannot really clean the mesh/screen by removing and washing it. This makes no sense at all. And I've noticed an accumulation of dust inside of the tube, which is a bit concerning thinking about this long term. Most amazing to me, was when I turned it on, I smelled that dog smell thing. I have hepa filters around the house, and have always had hepa vacs that don't emit that smell, well for the last 10 years anyway. For a pet vac, I found out it doesn't have a hepa filter; come on, really? A pet vac without a hepa filter, and for $300 on a black friday special? The dust builds up on the inside rubber seal, which is also not easy to clean as it stays attached to the area you cannot remove and wash. Then without a hepa filter, and a dirty seal you cannot easily clean, it is making for a long term frustration trying to keep it clean. So, now I'm thinking about the minimalist battery issue, the small dust cup issue, and the lack of a hepa filter, and I'm wondering if it is really worth the money. The problem is that battery vacs are mostly not good. I have had several and they were not powerful - the Dyson is really powerful, while it lasts. It is balanced and not heavy, and even has a way to stand it against the wall so it doesn't fall. All of this is really good, no doubt. But do the negatives outweigh the positives? Normally I use the heavy duty plug in vac a couple of times a week, and use a battery vac each night in between, and for quick pickups. The plug in vac, which you've seen on infomercials, is amazing. But it is big, heavy, and a pain to unravel the cord, plug in, fight with the cord while vacuuming, then wrap it all up - it just adds time to an already short day. The real answer is what Dyson has come out with, a longer lasting battery vac, with a hepa filter. But that is hundreds more. Is it worth it? Is it worth keeping something that on a great sale costs $300? Will this last? I know the suction goes down with the dust in the area that is hard to clean (they say to run the dust brush over it to get the dust out of there, but that doesn't work so well). Good thing Best Buy has a good return policy and I'll give it awhile to see if in fact it is worth keeping. Maybe the other units will come down in price once these are sold out. Dyson has amazing products, no doubt. And this is better than any other battery vac on the market today, because it does really outshine the performance of other battery vacs. But, in the back of my mind is how much this cost and I expected those concerns I've had (and others have had) were not really big deals - but they are a concern. Time will tell, but I thought I should mention these things so you see if you really want to invest the money for something that is already expensive, and if you are, maybe spending a bit more would be the better way to go. I'm not cleaning nut or anything, just so you know. But it seems I've added to my chore list now, cleaning the vac every couple of nights, because of the dust build up and the lack of being able to easily clean it out.

Convenient cordless vac. The product works OK could be better convenience is very nice. I purchased on Black Friday half price or the price was good even though normally they’re overpriced I think. But overall the product works very well on the fly. I purchased from Best Buy and the customer service was very good and knowledgeable. The vacuum I purchased was the V6 and seems to be enough battery life to vacuum the hardwood floors in my house but the V-6 doesn’t have the nice rotating vacuum like the more expensive V-8 which to me is way overpriced it’s unfortunate that the V-6 doesn’t come with the same quality but I do believe that’s probably because it’s an earlier model but overall I am satisfied

I found this Dyson V6 on sale... close to half the price of full retail. So that's one reason my rating is so high. I wouldn't have paid full price for this. However, it's well made and the power is remarkable. The tools work well and the charging dock is very useful (I just happened to have the perfect spot to mount it on a wall near a plug) The only minor concern is that the battery charge depletes quicker than I expected. BUT since I only use it for fast cleanup or touch up, it actually isn't a problem. I wouldn't use it as my main vacuum. I have another vac to do all the heavy-duty work.

This vacuum works great, it picks up animal hair off everything. It comes with a lot of great attachments and is light weight. I'm so glad I bought this one.

It has more power than I expected, the tools are easily changed...My only knock is that I wish it had more battery life. But, I'd buy it again and enjoy it just as much.

I originally bought the Shark stick vacuum. It was great...at first. Suddenly, all of the hair collected in the hardwood floor roller. The canister remained empty. This happened more than once, so I returned it. Too much hassle every time I used it. So I payed another $30 and got this Dyson. So far, flawless. The bristles for the carpet roller get much less tangled and clogged than the Shark. Much less day-to-day maintenance. The power is great and the battery lasts as described. For a small house like I have, I have no need for a full-sized vacuum. This is light, versatile and gets the whole house done on a single charge. So far, very happy.

We love this vacuum, so easy to used and clean, it’s light and the results OMG , just amazing us carpet never was so clean, l really recommend 100%

Best vacuum for pet hair yet. This little thing is powerful yet lightweight and easy to use. Battery life does t handle my entire house but

I had the original Dyson vacuum for many years. I replaced it with the new V6, which is much more portable and cordless! I am amazed by the suction power this small lightweight vacuum has. It almost seems stronger than the older larger Dyson I had for years. The attachments that come with this unit are also extremely handy and make any small or large cleaning job easy and quick!

This vacuum is great for touch ups. I have a house with 4 kids, a dog and a cat...I can run over the carpets and wood floors every day or two to keep the house in good shape between full cleanings. I keep it in my kitchen pantry so it's handy. I reallly like the fact that it's cordless...it's so much more convenient to use, which means I'm much more likely to actually use it. An attachment for hard surfaces would have been nice, but this model was so much cheaper than the newer ones I couldn't justify the higher cost.

Great vacuum, and good attachments. Powerful and easy to get around the house. Could do with more battery life, but I'll still keep it.

Light and convenient. Good power, picks up well, and extra attachments especially useful in a pet-filled home. Would have liked clearer instructions on what specific hardware is recommended in order to mount the charging holster. Also, when vacuum is used in the highest power mode, it loses charge after about 6 minutes, which goes by quickly, so it's best to conserve that setting for when it's really needed.

We recently moved into a new house and got new couches to go with it. They've got that sort of faux leather fabric. Dog hair clings to it like you would not believe and it was driving my wife crazy. I had to find a solution because our regular vacuum wouldn't cut it, even though it's a pet model. I am so grateful I went with this one. She is in love with it. The powerhead works the best, so by this model specifically if you have pets. It also works great in general, and we've used it on ceramic tile, vinyl tile and carpet.

I have had a Dyson for quite a few years and love it. The D6 is not only great for quick clean ups but I have used it for area rugs and vacuuming sections of the bedroom carpet where the dog lays. It does a fantastic job and I do not have to plug it in. The only thing I wish it had was a larger capacity. The vacuum works so good, it fills up quickly. I was worried about on 20 minutes of power but I have never used it that long yet because of the efficiency of the vacuum.

Great versatile and lightweight vacuum. Maintains power, great at clearing baseboards without having to bend over.

Great power and super easy to use. Wish the extra batteries were a little cheaper, but not a deal breaker

Love the portability of this vacuum. Has amazing suction power. I only wish the battery lasted longer.

Dyson V6 Animal is awesome! I love the suction power, freedom of cords and the light weight. It has become my primary vacuum, I only wish I could find the wood floor attachment for my V6 Animal sweeper. Battery life is 15 minutes on regular use 16 minutes and 6 minutes on Max power, it cleans fast. The recharge time length is too long. I love my vacuum /sweeper.
