Dyson V6 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, 100 W

Product Information

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? There are some brilliant Dyson vacuums out there, but we've also found worthy alternatives from other brands, including much cheaper options. In standard mode using the direct-drive turbohead, the Absolute gave us nearly 16 minutes of cleaning time. Cord-Free Vacuums – these vacuums are balanced to provide you with easy handling of floor to ceiling cord-free cleaning. As with all appliances we review, we put the v6 through a series of rigorous tests to assess both performance and usability. Our tests are intended to mimic the characteristics of common household debris, including Fruity Cheerios, a sand and sawdust blend to simulate fine particulate debris, pet hair, and human hair, which we took from a set of hair extensions. We performed each test three times on three different surfaces, which included low-pile carpet, mid-pile carpet, and hardwood/laminate floors. We also conducted a torture test that involved bobby pins and nuts.

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? Generally speaking, the higher the wattage, the greater the suction. The v6's standard mode air watts are the same as the previous model, the DC44 Animal. The DC59's boosted mode is, however, a significant improvement upon the DC44's boosted 65 air watts. For comparison, the Dyson Ball Compact Animal claims 128 air watts. Humidifiers – Dyson humidifiers are scientifically proven to hydrate dry air for a healthier environment Both this exhaust filter and the main filter, housed in the centre of the cyclone, are washable to eliminate any ongoing consumable costs. Dyson recommends a monthly filter clean schedule for peak performance.

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. You could pay hundreds of pounds over the odds if you buy a Dyson vacuum at the wrong time or from the wrong place.

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. In terms of performance, the V8 is clearly the superior vacuum. The longer battery life and improved bin design make it better suited to thorough cleaning. It has a slightly lower suction power on normal mode, but the V8 engine is more powerful on max mode. V8 models also come with Dyson’s best floor heads for more effective carpet and hard floor cleaning. Known as one of the leading brands in the industry of household appliances, Dyson never fails to produce highly innovative solutions that make a difference in every household around the world. Among the many amazing products is the revolutionary Dyson V6 vacuum cleaner that makes you to rethink about the power and potential of vacuum cleaners. 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.On its default mode, you can, according to Dyson, get 20 minutes of cleaning out of the Dyson V6 Animal, about half of that claimed by competitor cordless vacuum the Gtech Air Ram. This reduces weight in the hand and keeps things simple, but also means you have just one charge-worth of cleaning before needing a three to three and half hour re-charge. 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 It’s not just about performance though, as V8 models are more expensive – and the V6 isn’t cheap in the first place! For this reason, choose the V6 if you want a vacuum for daily cleaning and would prefer a lower price rather than a longer run-time. If you want to use a cordless vacuum for cleaning an entire home, however, then the V8’s 40-minute run-time is the better choice.
