I love my $150 Dyson V6 fluffy from 2018...in spite of its poorly designed dust bin emptying system...and the fact that if I run it on max power all the time, it will die in 5 or 6 minutes and my battery will need to be replaced every 2 years...
But that fluffy head is the bee's knees on hard surfaces! I just use it on low power, after getting a warranty replacement battery right before the 2 or 3 year warranty ran out, and I don't use the wall mount anymore (maybe continuous charging zapped the battery?) - and I will keep it until it completely bites the dust! Then I'll get a new fluffy with the better designed bin.
Yes, recommend - don't charge it all the time and don't use max power often and you'll be golden.
Also, Dyson will price match on their site typically...and give you free accessories...
I’ve had my V6 Absolute for 10 years. It’s my main floor vacuum and I have 3 young children, so it gets a lot of use. The only thing I’ve had to replace was the battery in 2021. I bought a knock-off battery on Amazon, and she’s still purring.
Dyson V6 : was my first stick vacuum,didn't last long
Miele HX2 : awesome, until it broke(not mechanical) and needed a proprietary part.
Ryobi : lots of good reviews, wife complains too bulky and roller partially working.
My work around was buying 2 old school used Dyson DC models and upgrading the battery packs with aftermarket. Heaps of parts around will never buy new again
IMO Dyson = Apple.
Odd. We bought the big upright yellow pet edition Dyson in 2018 and it’s had zero problems so far. We also have two of the long cordless V6 Dyson and both of those have been great as well. Three Dyson’s running strong and powerful, and I always recommend them.
I was given a free Dyson v6 stick vacuum 5 years ago, I was told it had bad suction and the battery didn’t last very long. Took the whole thing apart to clean it properly, and changed the battery to be able to use a power tool battery. Still use it everyday, fully take it apart every couple months and it works great.
Edit: power tool battery adapters can be found on amazon, and taking the vacuum apart was pretty easy did need an odd size t bit, I think a T8 or something.
