Just spotted on eBay deals, 20% off refurbs on the official Dyson eBay page taking the V6 animal down to £167.99. You only get a 12 month warranty with these, but my previous experience buying a refurb from them was that my unit turned up faulty and I was sent a brand new unit out with full warranty 2 days later.

I'm confused by the different versions of this, too many!
For (short) dog fur & kids, and a mix of carpet , laminate & vinyl flooring then i guess the best to go for is the total clean?
Do i miss out on any attachments if i got the total clean?
Cheers

I ordered two. Both wouldn't charge (no solid blue light). Called Dyson and they are replacing them tomorrow for two brand new non refurb v6 animals. Disappointed they didn't work, but great service afterwards.

A few weeks ago a Dyson rep told me to wait until Black Friday as the V8 will be on sale a a good price... if you can wait a few months and trust the word of a sales rep might be worth waiting it out, that's what I'm doing!
The V8 is a pretty impressive upgrade, even from the V6 :confused:

Ordered Thursday night and it arrived today(sat) It looks brand new with no scuff marks to indicate it is a refurbished one. I have given a quick run through the lounge and hallway and much to my embarrassment it is already full so it is clearly doing a better job then my other one. If you are thinking about buying one, stop thinking and just order it. I don't think you will regret it.

Thanks for posting, I ordered the V6 Total Clean last night as I want the fluffy head too and just checked and that's dropped to £209.99 so I called Dyson. They can't refund the difference but I can refuse delivery on the one I ordered last night and I've bought another at the lower cost. If you hadn't posted the deal I wouldn't have bothered to check the price so thank you - saved me another £11.05 - cheers! Heat added

We paid £300. Like it as opposed to love it. Good suction but small capacity to hold dirt. Woudl definitely buy this.
Please stop worrying about warranty. A UK sale by a retailer (new/refurb/repaired) is covered by UK the Consumer Rights Act (and more) which includes provision for goods to be durable. 6 years is the legal period in which durable counts.
Subscribe to Which? (as I do) and add their Legal bit for £85. Like as not, you will save that in a few months as you start battling the retailers who try to deflect you. If you are a landlord, you need their advice available to you and they have helped me through a repossession and disposing of abandoned effects.

Got this refurb deal a couple of months ago when posted here a little bit cheaper.
Mine appeared brand new and i'm pretty certain it was. The guarantee when registering came up as 2 years, although the order said one year.
Excellent product, very versatile, and the animal comes with all the extra bits most will ever need. The main issue most without one imagine is the 20 minute battery charge. This has never affected me or the wife and never had it flatten before we've had enough of vacuuming. You get a lot more done, mainly because it's small and light compared to non-hand held ones.
Excellent value at these sorts of prices.
