It is also important to maintain your device properly by taking the filter out and cleaning it to prevent blockages and a decline in performance. These cleaner heads have been engineered with de-tangling technology to powerfully suck up dust and hair from all floor types. Absolute – the gold standard of V6 vacuum cleaners, this features a filtration system to capture allergens from the air and 150% more brush power than the standard V6.

This includes the Dyson V8, Cyclone V10, V11, V11 Outsize, V12 Detect Slim, V15 Detect, Gen5detect, Outsize, Omni-glide and Micro 1. There are also some who found it a bit more difficult to maneuver on carpeting compared on hardwood or tile floors. If you have vacuumed through a puddle, then you should disassemble the unit (as described above) and dry it. With the centre of gravity up high, it’s incredibly easy to manoeuvre, lift up and clean the ceiling, without strain on your back.The other attachments can be easily attached, and the vacuum can be wall-mounted using the instructions provided.

Beyond the typical combination and crevice tools, the mini motorised tool does a fantastic job on sofas and in the car, effectively picking up dust that has had the chance to settle. It empties at the press of one button, but make sure you've got it right over the bin, or you'll be hoovering again!There’s a “mini-motorised” tool for cleaning keyboards, and the cordless handheld option for getting at hard to reach areas. However, others say that it stopped working all together, was difficult to keep unblocked, and was absolutely useless. Because when even the smallest particles are removed by the vacuum, this also helps to neutralise odours. One of the things that often worries people about Dyson cleaners is how to keep their devices clean. I'm sorry Mr Dyson but take this off the market and go back to the drawing board instead of sitting eating olives and a magnum of champers .

Spinning at up to 110,000 RPM, it creates some of the strongest suction you can find on a cordless vacuum. Like previous models, the Gen5 Detect has three power modes: ‘Auto,’ which intelligently adapts to different floor types, ‘Eco,’ which saves power, and ‘Boost,’ for intensive cleaning.This was reflected in the flour test – it was able to suck up the flour efficiently, but didn’t quite get every trace at the edges of the brush head. There are some brilliant Dyson vacuums out there, but we've also found worthy alternatives from other brands, including much cheaper options.
