Dyson V6 Animal Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

It also races ahead of competitors when it comes to battery life, with a maximum run time of 70 minutes. The third is battery life: the vacuum cleaner you choose will need to last long enough to get round your home on one charge, otherwise it will take just as much effort to clean with as a corded model. Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. Of course, if you're willing to spend even more than that, there's also the Dyson Gen5outsize, which differs slightly from the standard Gen5detect by featuring an enlarged dustbin and a wider cleaning head. All Dyson Ball vacuums have Radial Root Cyclone™ technology to maintain no loss of suction, through 12 compact cyclones that generate powerful centrifugal forces.

The head can be used with a range of attachments, with special versions for cleaning cars and hard-to-reach corners.Even with the most powerful vacuums, however, large debris can prove problematic, especially if the bottom plate of the cleaner head is unable to clear it. It’s also easy to empty after cleaning, with a single button-press required to open the dirt compartment.

The new HEPA filter supposedly means the vacuum can suck up viruses, although that’s obviously difficult to test.

Cordless vacuums use less electricity than traditional vacuum cleaners, since they have smaller motors and only draw power when they’re recharging. That's a great trade, and since you no longer have to pay twice as much as any other stick vacuum to get it, the solid performance of the Dyson v6 shines even brighter than before. The best I tested were equally comfortable on thick carpet, wood, sofas and skirting; and the very best were just as efficient as corded varieties.
