Dyson V6 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner [Energy Class A], 200 W

Product Information

When the time comes to empty your bin, all you need to do is press a single button to get rid of all the dirt at once. That means you spend less time and energy on cleaning up after yourself. There’s even a counter-rotating brushincluded in the Dyson Ball Animal kit to make sure that you can capture hard ground-in dust on upholstery and carpets, too.

The motor is housed inside the brush-bar for belt-free drive and the bar itself can be removed with two coin-turn clips for tool-free cleaning.

An incredibly light cordless vacuum cleaner that's perfect at cleaning a wide variety of surfaces, from carpets to hard floors

Handheld Vacuums – these are powerful vacuums but light as well cord-free to clean anywhere from the home to the car. Human hair was challenging for many of the upright vacuums we tested, no matter the flooring type. If your home is populated by short-haired inhabitants, this will not be a concern for you. If your home is like mine, however, and inhabited by long-haired humans and animals alike, this may be more important. With regards to brushroll tangling, the v6 wasn't the best, but it certainly wasn't the worst. Fortunately, I found it easy to access the brushroll and to pull the hair from around it. Dyson Supersonic – this hair dryer has an intelligent heat control for shine. It also features the Dyson digital motor which spins on average 6 times faster than other hair dryer motors at one inaudible frequency – yet is a third of the weight. Charge If you own a cordless Dyson, it's possible that the battery has simply run out of charge – most cordless vacuums can't run for long on a single charge (especially if you're cleaning on full power), so, like a mobile phone, they may abruptly cut out and need recharging.

Closely-spaced, carbon fiber bristles gave the DC59 the upper hand with fine debris on hard floors. While they weren't the best for agitating small debris on mid-pile carpet, the DC59's excellent suction helped to make up some of the difference. Colin West McDonald/CNET Dyson CY26’s state-of-the-art cleaning unit comes with one of the most powerful suction on the market. Whether you’re removing pet hair, dirt or dust from your floors, the Dyson Big Ball will be able to handle any challenge. There are 28 cycloneswithin this vacuum, arranged over two separate tiers to create incredible centrifugal forces that capture microscopic dirt and dust particles. The radial formation sends air flowing through the entire assembly, to maximise suction and eliminate allergens. While it didn't necessarily excel with large debris like the Cheerios when the wand and floor cleaning head were attached, I had no trouble sweeping them up when I attached the combination tool, making the v6 function more like the dust busters of old. I love this flexible functionality.Filters Most newer models have a single filter at the very top of the vacuum. They should be unscrewed and rinsed with warm water once a month – it's important to let them dry naturally, or they could become ineffective. Dyson recommends leaving them beside a fan or open window for at least 24 hours.

It's handy to know that the hoover only weighs 2.3kg, so its manoeuvrability is pretty nifty. With a capacity of 0.4L, it doesn’t hold an awful lot of dirt but with the press of a button you can empty the dust into the bin - for most people this isn’t a problem but those with pets and young children may find themselves emptying it frequently - so decide whether that will be an inconvenience. You could pay hundreds of pounds over the odds if you buy a Dyson vacuum at the wrong time or from the wrong place. However, cordless vacuums are usually more expensive, and not all are an improvement on corded models – some have extremely short run times and minuscule dust capacities. Models in the same range (eg the V15 Detect range or the V11 range) usually have the same core machine – the only difference is the accessories and supplied floor heads. The trigger on/off switch means you tend to switch-off while moving between areas, but is Dyson’s claimed 20-minute run-time (14 minutes with power-tools) or the six-minute max power mode enough?

There are plenty of reasons why this manufacturer is one of the best on the market for home-cleaning products. Dyson offers a wide range of different vacuum types to choose from. Hence, whether you’re looking for full home cleaning, in-car cleaning, or lightweight upholstery hoovering, you’ll find something to suit you. If the main direct-drive head is a little too large for smaller carpet jobs, no problem. The V6 Absolute also comes with the range’s motorised mini turbobrush head, ideal for steps, stairs and smaller cleaning tasks like the sofa. Accessories – Dyson accessories are as sturdy as their vacuums when it comes to removing dust, dirt and allergens. Its corded models ride on a ball and castors instead of wheels, which allows them to pivot and change direction more easily. While this doesn't give you as much manoeuvrability as a top-of-the-range cordless vacuum, it sets them apart from most corded competitors. Refurbished handheld and cordless vacuums, fans, heaters and humidifiers are guaranteed for one year.

Brush bar As anyone who's lived with a long-haired housemate or four-legged friends will confirm, tangled brush bars are a nightmare – they can cause suction power to deteriorate and lead to other mechanical faults. To keep on top of things, you should carefully cut away any hairs and fibres wrapped around the brush bar after each clean.

Dyson vacuum cleaners have become some of the most highly sought-after items in the home thanks to their excellent build quality, suction power, and eye-catching design. So where are the cheapest Dyson sales happening right now? If anything, Dyson is a little conservative in its run-time claims and we managed over 21 minutes using just the crevice and brush tool, dropping to a reasonable seven minutes in max power mode. The data might reveal whether there's an ideal time of year to buy your preferred Dyson, or whether it's currently a peak period when prices tend to be at their highest. 4. Shop around This unique model is one of the best Dyson for carpet vacuums we’ve seen, with patented Root Cyclone technology that helps to prevent unnecessary loss of suction. There’s also a five-year guaranteeincluded to give you peace of mind in your investment. All that, and you get the unique Dyson ball animal technology that makes upright vacuums from this provider so easy to use. While Dyson suggests the direct-drive head is great for both carpets and had floors, the dedicated hard floor tool supplied with the Absolute is our weapon of choice for tiles, parquet and laminates.
