Dyson Humdinger vs Dyson V6

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

Being cordless has a pretty good runtime and it's just super easy to grab off the wall and quickly clean around your home. Lastly, overall cleaning pe...

If you're looking for a handheld vacuum that offers HEPA-level filtration, you could look at the Dyson Humdinger. This high-end handheld vacuum is effective at sealing fine particles as you clean, which is good if you suffer from allergies. It performs superbly on flat, even surfaces like tabletops or shelves and does a very good job clearing away debris on low- and high-pile rugs and carpets. It also has a somewhat long battery life compared to most other handheld vacuums, as you can expect a maximum runtime of almost 30 minutes in its most energy-efficient mode

That's unacceptable. We've cleaned the machine thoroughly, replaced the filter, and tried anything we've seen online etc. and nothing makes a difference. It seems like a deep issue

It offers a maximum of roughly half an hour of continuous runtime on a single charge, which should be more than sufficient for most spot-cleaning tasks. You can increase its suction power for dealing with especially stubborn messes by using the 'MAX' suction switch, though running it in this power mode decreases its battery life to just roughly 10 minutes.

after a couple months it was clear they couldn't keep up. This vacuum DEFINITELY has amazing suction and got a disgusting amount of stuff up off my floor. However, it definitely wasn't made for binge-vacuuming

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

The problem is if you try to use the filter damp the machine gives you the signal it is full or the filter is clogged. I learned this the hard way. The night before having guests over I washed the prefilter. It was still damp in the morning

I've gone through quite a variety of handheld vacs over the years for cleaning Golden Retriever hair from carpeted steps. They all sucked- until they didn't! Annoying cords, smelly filters, and impossible to change belts made we dread this chore! They were bulky and loud too! I LOVE how the head of the tool pivots so I don't have to do advanced yoga moves on the stairs in order to switch between the horizontal and vertical surfaces! Thank you, Dyson! While your products are expensive and the sticker shock has made me avoid your products in the past, I now understand that you really do get what you pay for! I'm a convert!!!

I recently scored a Dyson V6 Absolute for $60 off of Craigslist! I needed one after moving into a new rental with carpet. I like the cordless stick vacuum as well. Since they are so light and easy to use, I actually use it and vacuum regularly (my cat & I shed a lot). I’ve always disliked the corded, heavy, and bulky vacuums

I primarily used it as a handheld vac. The Humdinger does not have the same power, the crevice nozzle has an inferior design and it is difficult to empty. I have to use tweezers or a knife to remove debris. Quite disappointed

Can a cordless **ever** be the only vacuum for wall to wall carpet? What is best for stairs? Is there anything as powerful as the v15 or v11 outsize in the stick and attachments area? I want to be able to switch out attachments and vacuum everywhere, and have enough so that there are kitchen ones and then ones for gross stuff I don't want touching the other attachments.

The v6 has two modes, a default power and a high power setting. On the high setting, the Dyson boasted the second best suction of the lightweight vacuums we tested in this group. On normal power, the v6 produced average suction, though less than both the Electrolux Ergorapido Power or the Shark Rocket on their default power settings.Suction power isn't the only key to a vacuum's success, however

It's hard to imagine who would throw down $300 on a handheld vacuum when spending a dash more can buy you a far more versatile Dyson. We trust that the Humdinger is probably the strongest handheld on the market, but unless you're looking to misplace a few Benjamins, you should really just buy a stick vacuum.Price: $300SHOP NOW

but is it really worth over $400 for an extra vacuum that doesn't replace your existing one?
