Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am Floor Man in our house and have a Dyson C14 Upright which is fine except it is heavy and the retractable pole is a joke. The hose is stiff and doesn't extend easily. It keeps pulling the main unit along as you step away from it. So I was looking for a lighter and more versatile vacuum. I really like this vacuum (Dyson V6 Animal Cordless). Positives: great suction (really picks up the dirt and dog hair), light and easy to handle, gets under furniture with ease so there is little need to move furniture, roller bar works great (gets the hair and dirt out of area rugs and carpets), great for stairs. Yes, the powered roller bar does collect dog hair and thread (I have two golden retrievers and my wife is a quilter) and it has to be cut out. The roller bar is easily removed from the attachment for this task. The Negatives: limited battery power (means you do the house in stages a couple of rooms at a time), small capacity cannister (you will be dumping the cannister at least once per room if you have dogs), the price (You have to REALLY want the convenience). Except for these three negatives, I would give this vacuum 5 stars. It is my "go to" vac.
