Personally don't see the point of these without the telescopic tube. I've recently inherited one and I've not used my full size vacuum since. Have a 3 bed house and can comfortably clean the whole place without running out of power. I think those that run out of charge don't vacuum often enough I do it every day so takes a few minutes. I have the V6 base model I think as it doesn't at anything else on the machine.

It's also handy without the telescopic tube for quick clean ups and doing rugs. Great for those with kids especially.

Totally agree. Give it to the kids to play with when they've been good and set them loose on the upstairs carpets

Yes I agree that they are useful without the telescopic tube but I wouldn't buy one that didn't include it as it's just not worth it without. Should be included as standard really great machine though the suction on it is impressive to say the least. Only downside is the bin is so tiny I need to empty frequently when cleaning dunno where it's grabbing the dust from.

Maybe not worth it for you as you are replacing a normal vaccum cleaner but good for others. I agree with the small bin comment, although it's only really meant to be used for small areas at a time.

Annoyingly, I read that it's not compatible with my Fluffy attachments, or I'd get one as backup/mother-in-law visiting panic button. :angry:

I have the V6 Animal. It truly was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent. My wife's sister told me they were a waste of money but I just had to spend £360 on it to find that out. Never again would I buy something like this.
Anyone who tells you they get any more than 5 minutes of decent vacuuming out of one of these is a liar, plain and simple, they are lying to you. Wood flooring? It will do a quick runaround. A deep pile carpet in a large room? Forget about it. It will destroy the battery in minutes.

I've got a three bedroom house and can do everywhere but the stairs on one charge flicking between high setting for carpet and low for tiles. Best £330 we've ever spent. I don't tell lies either.

Couldn't agree more I can do all my house no issues at all.I don't care what other people say they must be lying as the battery lasts as long as it should.Great piece of kit and worth every penny deal up but get one with the tube and motorised head.

Maybe you're using it on boost/max mode. I hear it's on that setting when it comes out of the box.
Oh and just because you can't seem to use such a simple product doesn't mean others who are competent enough to use it are liers :angry:
I've inherited a used one and its excellent in my opinion just as good as my full size vacuum. Never owned a dyson before either. It has a few minor flaws but suction ain't one of them. I have laminate, carpet and tiles and the only one I can't vacuum properly is the tiles as I don't have the correct attachment.

Or you have a faulty unit! Plus you certainly paid too much for it.
I also have a V6 animal, and for me personally it has been the best purchase I have made (electronic wise). It makes cleaning nice and easy, rather than having to lug the heavy Henry out that does a terrible job on carpet.
You should be getting 20mins out of the unit, unless of course you have left it on 'max'
The battery on mine provides enough time to clean upstairs and downstairs of my 3 bedroom semi and is not flat by the end so no idea whats left. In fact the only time I have flattened the battery was using max and not knowing the first time I used it. Max is certainly not needed for daily cleaning
Your comments about carpets are not reflective on mine, this is where the unit excels. I have deep carpet and thick underlay. It picks up hair and fluff very well performing a much better job than my Henry ever could.

Well we have a dc59 which is essentially the same machine, and I don't run the battery out in minutes. So either I'm a liar or you have a lemon.

There is only one lemon here and it's not the Dyson :P

I have the standard handheld version of this and it's absolutely brilliant for quick food spills and whipping around the stove etc. Also perfect for a quick clean around the car. For a family this is a brilliant bit of kit! heat from me!

Dyson are also selling the non-dog version for £130, probably better for the car as the wide nozzel on the dog version looks like a pain to get into small spaces
adhkarzf I totally agree with this person, the quality of these products are not what they were, there are better machines on the market at the moment at half the price don't be taken in by thinking Dyson are the best. I used to love my early model Dyson, so when I needed a replacement it was the first name I looked for, how wrong I could be, I have bought 2 and both had to be returned faulty and poor quality products.
