The fourth generation Dyson V6 Animal cordless stick vacuum with detachable handheld has the power of a corded upright yet only weighs 5 pounds. It is ideal for quick cleaning on all floor types, upholstery, stairs and inside your car. Since it is an Animal version it can handle pet hair with extra tools.
The Motorized Floor Tool is powered by a direct drive motor, and has two types of brushes for different surfaces and has 75% more power than last year’s Animal model. Ultra-fine anti-static carbon fiber brushes can remove fine dust from hard floors, while rotating nylon bristles remove ground-in dirt from carpets, and is easily disassembled for cleaning.
V6 Animal Cordless: The V6 Animal has a lightweight detachable long reach wand which can be used for cleaning high places, as well as hard to reach areas. It is easily removable, converting your V6 into a handheld vacuum. The Motorized Floor Tool can be attached to the handheld unit for vacuuming either carpets or hard floors (including hardwood floors).
This cordless vacuum has a super power mode for those tough areas which require maximum suction. Normal mode runtime is 20 minutes per change (6 minutes on MAX). The lithium ion (nickel manganese cobalt) batteries charge faster than most other cordless vacuums (charge time: 3.5 hours). As with other Dyson vacuums, this cordless model also uses the latest Two Tier Radial™ Cyclone Technology so that there is no loss of suction. The vacuum does not rely on the filter to trap dirt, and has a lifetime washable filter. As with all Dyson vacuums, this unit is bagless, so no bags to buy.
2016-2017 Upgrade Features from the DC59 Animal Model: The new Dyson V6 has improvements and differences over the previous DC59 animal model. The improved motorized floor tool (Motorhead) is 18% larger in width with V-Ball technology for easier maneuvering. The Motorhead floor tool has 75% more power with a direct drive motor for better carpet cleaning. This model includes a brand new accessory, the mini soft dusting brush.
What’s in the Box? The Dyson V6 Animal, Docking Station, Charger, Crevice Tool, Mini Soft Dusting Brush, Mini Motorized Tool, Combination Accessory Tool.
New Powerful V6 Motor – Dyson uses a new digital V6 motor which is smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient than traditional motors. The V6 is more powerful as well. The .11 gallon dirt bin empties from the bottom with the press of the button, so you don’t touch the dirt. Its low profile allows you to easily vacuum under your beds and furniture. The V6 filtering captures allergens, and expels cleaner air. The vacuum has 28 airwatts of power on Normal mode, and 100 airwatts on Maximum. The V6 can use most recent accessories, and if you already own a recent Dyson vacuum, you can use those tools, as they snap right on the handheld or the extension wand. Includes a 2 year parts and labor warranty.
Battery Cleaning Runtime: 20 minutes.
Vacuum Warranty: 2 years (Parts and Labor).
Vacuum Weight: 5.0 lbs.
Smart-Review Commentary: The fourth generation Dyson cordless stick vacuum, the V6 Animal. The V6 Animal has the power of an upright in a vacuum weighing only 5 lbs., but without cords. You get 20 minutes of cleaning time, or 6 minutes on Max. You save energy and cleaning time, since the vacuum is only on when you press the trigger. It is actually two vacuums in one. A cordless stick vacuum, and a cordless handheld. The V6 uses a special lithium ion (nickel manganese cobalt) battery, which is the best type for constant power throughout its charge. The Dyson digital V6 motor makes the entire V6 cordless line the most powerful dyson cordless vacs ever.
The Dustbin can be detached for easy cleaning. It comes with a wall mounted docking station, for charging, and convenience.The Mini Motorized Hand Tool is great for stairs, upholstery, and car interiors, and for pet hair removal. The V6 is very versatile for getting different floor types, stairs, upholstery, drapes, and car interiors. Like a full size Dyson, this smaller version has an advanced Two Tier Radial™ Cyclone Technology technology to prevent clogging, and the dust bin empties from the bottom with the press of a button. It has a low reach, so you can easily vacuum under a bed with the Motorized Floor Tool. We like that this model can use most current accessories that you might already have if you own a Dyson vacuum. This is great for quick cleanups as well. This model has received excellent consumer reviews. The animal model has enough power to pick up dirt, dust, and especially pet hair. The cleaner head is made for hard floors or carpets. The build quality is excellent and far exceeds competitor vacuums. The Dyson V6 Animal is a Smart-Review top pick. The V6 gets our BEST OF 2017 award in the cordless vacuum category. (See the latest 2018 V7 model below, which upgrades this model).
