Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased our V6 at Costco. It was exactly what we were looking for. A light weight easy to vacuum. Cordless with great attachments. We have a dyson canister vac that we really like. It's just a little big to pull out everyday and get up a little dog hair and dust. The vacuum performed wonderfully. The battery however is a huge letdown. The girl doing the product demo at Costco (a Dyson employee) told us up front that the battery would last up to about 20 min. She also said that it recharged very quickly. She was right about the 20 min. As long as you only use it on the low setting. Switch it up to the max setting and your lucky to get 5 min. And the best part is next. After 5 minutes of wicked good vacuuming. You get to put the unit on charge for 3.5 hrs. That is some trade off. I have cordless drills that run for 20-30 min. They only take about 30 min to recharge. I guess Dyson spent so much time and money making the V6 suck better than the average vac. That they overlooked the battery. Which is what really makes this product suck. It's hard to justify almost $600 for a vacuum that only lasts for 5-20 min. And then takes way too long to recharge. We will be returning this item tomorrow.
