Been considering the V6 or V8 recently, I hear the Absolute versions are the more powerful motor and better cleaner. This could be the reason why many are suggesting different opinions on them ie they have the normal version or the animal version and its not good as the normal vac etc
Not owned any myself but you can see with so many different models its going to be tricky to get a good read on it.
I recently brought the Shark cordless, its not bad at all but even @ £150 it was not worth it and barely cleaned any better then a £30-40 cylinder vac.
Dirt also got stuck easily and it had issues with dirt being emptied out.
I also had a miele complete c3 (top end model) excellent vac overall, powerful suction and clean air pumped out after, but totally let down by its poor
quality plastic/rubber wheels. Even for a strong muscular bloke like myself I found dragging it around was too heavy and annoying, even the £30 vacs have
giant wheels and move and glide easier across the carpet better, not sure what those german engineers are doing frankly its like making a car with 3 tyres.
I hear that is one of the big improvements with V8 over V6 the dirt empties better and the motor is stronger on V8.
Dyson have a 20% code on there ebay outlet store currently making the V8 reconditioned unit about 300 quid I believe. Check hotuk deals for other offers or dyson website also for offers.
Dyson also have a money back system if you are not happy with it you can return it within 14 days for your money back, ill eventually have to make the purchase and see if the Dyson is worth it !
