Dyson V6 Motorhead: it comes with a motorhead cleaning brush that has more agitation and is ideal for carpet cleaning. However, we wouldn't recommend using it on bare floor because you can not turn the head off. The Motorhead can be used on a small area of messes. The Dyson Detect Slim is a smaller version of the V15. It does not perform as well on carpets as the V15 but is still pretty useful for all surfaces. It also has LED light on the soft roller and is very good on hard floors. If you want a lighter version for some carpet areas and mostly hard floors, the Dyson V12 is a perfect option.

None of the Dyson V6 is HEPA, except for the Absolute version that has a HEPA filter and is safe for allergy and asthma sufferers In terms of features and specifications, the Dyson Motorhead, Animal, and Absolute are the same except for the Dyson V10 which has some differences between the modifications.

I have mostly hard floors, would it be better if I get the Dyson V11 Torque Drive or go for the Dyson V10 Absolute? Price is about the same.Dyson V6 Fluffy: it comes with a roller head only, no brush with stiff bristles for carpet cleaning. Ideal for bare floors. The big deal about this high torque cleaner head is that it can detect differences in floor surface and automatically change the suction power when appropriate, saving overall run time. This system, called the Dynamic Load Sensor (DLS) and unique to the V11, senses resistance at the cleaner head's brush bar — say, for example, when you run the vacuum from a hard floor onto a carpet — and adjusts accordingly. I have a parrot, two dogs, and a cat. Which model do I need to buy to stop stressing about pet hair?
