This backpack vacuum has a set of tools like a crevice tool, turbo floor tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool. Additionally, it has two 38" metal wands. You can use the same vacuum to vacuum along floor baseboards, couches, and along ceiling air vents. You don’t need to switch between a handheld vacuum for upholstery, stick vacuum for the floor, and canister vacuum with all the rods attached to clean high places, as you can do it all with just one device.
Weighing only 9.2 pounds, it shouldn’t be problematic to carry around, even for very petite people. The straps are comfortable and supportive if you set them right for your body. It can, however, reach 20 pounds, if the dust bag is full, become too heavy.
This vacuum cleaner is more silent than other alternatives on the market. At maximum, it reaches 66 dB sound power, which is equivalent to a typical conversation.
This unit comes with HEPA filtration, which is a welcomed feature, as it means you don’t have to breathe all the small particles that you just vacuumed up.
The vacuum doesn’t have a bagless dust collecting bin. Instead, it can use two types of bag, either disposable paper bags, that can just be easily thrown out, but cost $5 - $10 each, or a cloth bag that can be reused. While in the long term the cloth bag will be cheaper to use, it also produces more mess while being cleaned.
Since this vacuum is cordless, you don’t need to worry about extension cords or power outlets around you. This brings unique freedom, enabling you to easily reach every spot around the house. The vacuum itself weighs under 5 pounds, making it very easy to use with one hand, and the pivoting ball allows to glide around the vacuum in any direction you want it to go.
The Dyson V6 comes in several different versions to best suit your cleaning needs. The standard V6 comes with a universal cleaning head, but you can get versions that are meant for hard floors, animal owners, bedding cleaning, or the Absolute model, that comes with all the attachments, but also is the most expensive one.
Although it is a cordless vacuum, it can compete with corded units when it comes to suction power. It has two power modes: the normal mode is enough for small spot cleaning, spider web removal, and pet cleaning; the turbo mode strengthens the normal suction power almost four times. This temporary boost can be useful to collect larger debris that needs to be cleaned up.
The vacuum can work for approximately 20 minutes before it needs charging. It drops to just six minutes if you are using turbo mode. There are less powerful vacuums available that can work for 40 minutes.
