Model Specifications

The manual design of the Dyson V6 Slim Origin (literally) with support for floor-to-ceiling operating modes is represented by a relatively low-power model of cordless vacuum cleaners.

This is one of the first developments that opened the start of production. wireless machines dyson.

Vacuum cleaner Dyson v6
The wireless design of cleaning equipment gives the user a lot of advantages. However, many of the advantages in working with devices of this configuration are involuntarily reduced by the minuses of time and battery charge

Meanwhile, the Dyson v6 lineup includes more than a dozen developments, including equipment individually for cleaning pets.

Slim Origin deserves the attention of consumers, primarily because of its wireless configuration, which slightly increases the comfort state in the home cleaning mode. The relatively low price (20 thousandrub.) in relation to other designs.

The table of the main operational technical characteristics of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner:

Type of model executionvertically manual
Type of Cleaning Supportedexceptionally dry
Suction power level100 watts
Action time without recharging20 minutes
Battery Charge Time3,5 hours
Garbage collection capacity0.4 liters

The vacuum cleaner is powered by a lithium-cobalt-manganese battery (2100 mA / h). The light weight (2.04 kg) of the entire design of the device allows you to clean the rooms without any stress.

Dimensions of the structure (210x208x118 mm) provide access to the cleaning of hard-to-reach areas of the premises.

A detailed video review, from unpacking to testing the performance of this model, can be seen in the following video:

Design and configuration features

The complete set of cleaning accessories Dyson v6 in the classic version of the supply is limited to one combined nozzle and a turbo brush for the floor. At the same time, it is possible to purchase additional accessories in case of need.

Top view and bottom brushes
The turbo brush nozzle is designed to fulfill the bulk of the harvesting work. Accessory swivel head for boom installation at angles of up to 180 degrees

Turbo brush - it’s also an electric brush - successfully performs the function of cleaning surfaces of any type. The cleaning efficiency, proven in practice, is marked by a good result and, first of all, due to the technological design of the electric brush roller.

The nozzle design is characterized by the presence of a pair of bristle working strips superimposed over the entire length of the brush roller. These bristle strips contain hairs made from different materials.

DIY parsing
The design of this nozzle is made taking into account the simple, accessible to the average user, disassembly. In disassembled form, it is convenient and easier to clean the nozzle mechanism from hair, threads of fabrics and other debris

If the material of the bristle hairs of one strip is polypropylene, the other strip entirely contains a carbon fiber based hair coating.

Thanks to this configuration of bristle strips and their placement one after another, the effect of high-quality cleaning of hard and soft coatings is achieved.

Branded nozzle combined type
Combined nozzle designed for cleaning hard-to-reach spots, narrow sections, crevices, joints of upholstered furniture

Vacuum cleaner motor design

The original design stands out the electric motor of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner. The technology of using neodymium magnets was used by the manufacturer during the development of the vacuum cleaner motor. The result is impressive - the rotor speed reaches 110 thousand revolutions per minute.

Electric motor of the vacuum cleaner Dyson v6
The electric motor of the vacuum cleaner is small-sized, low-voltage, but at the same time it accelerates the shaft to high speed. Thanks to the “turbine” rotation of the engine shaft, a powerful air flow is achieved

Meanwhile, the designers did not violate one of the main principles - the compactness of the drive — by achieving strong engine parameters.

As a result, the Dyson wireless power technology has a miniature size, low weight and a fairly high level of power.

A high-speed motor creates effective suction power at the inlet of the vacuum cleaner. However, the duration of the equipment with the combined combination nozzle is limited to 20 minutes. Is it a lot or a little?

Hard-to-reach area cleaning
A characteristic feature of wireless cleaning equipment, including the Dyson v6 design, is the availability of easy and simple cleaning of ceiling areas or others located extremely inconveniently to which access is difficult

It all depends on the area and clutter of the territory where cleaning is required. But in general, to restore order in the territory of one small room up to 40 m220 minutes is enough.

Control Button Features

Among the features of the circuit switching drive - electronic control. This engineering approach provides reliable protection against overloads and maximum user convenience. The engine is switched on by a button on the handle.

At the same time, the fix mode is not supported by the button. That is, in the state of the pressed button - the engine is started, in the state of the released button - the engine is stopped. A similar on / off technique saves battery power.

Control button and turbo
Launching the Dyson v6 cordless vacuum cleaner is done with a single push of a button (red on the left). At the same time, using another button (MAX on the right), the turbo mode is activated

If the engine control button is kept on, and at the same time press another button “MAX", It is located behind the handle at the rear end, the vacuum cleaner will switch to the operating mode"Turbo". By pressing “Turbo” again, the mode is canceled with the return of the machine to normal mode.

Cyclone effect for airflow

The company's specialists have developed a universal cyclone moduleequipped with all wireless models.

The design of Dyson v6 is also equipped with a similar module, containing a total of 15 cyclones, which are mounted in two rows according to the parallel connection scheme.

Dyson v6 cyclone system
Cyclone row - a system of cyclones located in a circle in two rows - one above the other. A kind of unique scheme that helps to obtain high-quality separation of suspended particles from air

This scheme is distinguished by higher technical characteristics. Achieved air flow at a level that allows you to collect the smallest particles of dust and other contaminants from surfaces.

Airborne contaminants enter the cyclone system, where they are effectively cut off and collected in a garbage container.

Fine filter
The top point of the cyclone sphere is the input area for installing / removing the fine filter. This type of filter is used to completely clean the air from pollution.

The air purified in this way is additionally drawn through a fine filter system.

As a result, the air mixture cleaned to a level of at least 0.3 microns enters the outlet of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner. This is a very high indicator of the degree of purification, if you follow existing standards.

Configuration for easy operation

Using the device is really convenient and many owners testify to this, leaving feedback on working with equipment. Dyson v6 configuration seems to provide everything based on the wishes of the potential user.

The lightweight design does not require significant physical forces, and the degree of convenience fully reflects such properties as ease of control and good balance.

Using a vacuum cleaner, it is comfortable to clean deep niches under the furniture and it is also convenient to clean off dust accumulations, cobwebs, and plaque in the ceiling area.

Sophisticated component design
Ease of use of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner is ensured by a small-sized lightweight design. An additional plus is the lack of an electrical network cable, which creates inconvenience during operation

One of the important working accessories of Dyson wireless technology is a removable pipe. Using this accessory in a different configuration, it is very easy to transform the vacuum cleaner into a compact cleaning machine. A compact size allows you to work in places where space is very limited.

Container and Docking Station

A pronounced design feature of the wireless Dyson v6 is the mechanism for hygienic cleaning of the garbage container. In fact, the user does not contact the trash when using this function.

By simply pressing the reset button, the bottom tray of the container opens and at the same time a plastic cuff “rolls” along the vessel walls.

As a result, the container is freed without user contact with garbage. The manufacturer calls this cleaning system - completely hygienic.

Dyson v6 Container Release
A hygienic way to free the garbage collection was invented by Dyson engineers. If you follow the rules for filling the container, the owner of the machine will not have to come into contact with garbage

Along with amenities in terms of hygiene, the design of the cordless vacuum cleaner also provides convenience in case of storage.All that is required for the user is to choose the optimal place in the house for the installation of the docking station.

Typically, docking is done in a wall-mounted configuration. The parking panel is suspended to a height slightly larger than the length of the vacuum cleaner, if we consider the complete assembly with an extension pipe.

Parking vacuum cleaner Dyson v6
Suspension the storage device for a while while the apartment remains clean. At any time, the equipment can be removed from the "parking" and without preparation, on the go get involved in the cleaning work

In the immediate vicinity of the installed parking panel, a power outlet is mounted for switching on the charging adapter. It turns out a convenient and practical storage area for the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner.

Advantages and disadvantages of a vacuum cleaner

Advantages of the design of wireless technology are obvious:

  • reduced overall dimensions;
  • lightweight performance;
  • lack of wires underfoot;
  • universality of cleaning in terms of zonal access;
  • ease of emptying the trash container;
  • highly effective air filtration;
  • attractive design.

Meanwhile, the existing list of advantages is complemented by existing disadvantages.

For some users, the cons seem insignificant, but there are those who are painful to the existing shortcomings, given the price of Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Identified deficiencies:

  • overheating of the case when operating at maximum power;
  • cleaning time limits;
  • the need for a constant charge of the battery.

Significant heating is noted in the area where the battery is located (lower part of the handle). The surface of which has a smooth plastic finish that is already slippery.

When the battery compartment overheats, and after it part of the handle, the sliding effect only intensifies.

Dyson v6 Battery
The battery for the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner. The duration of effective action is at least 2 years. To replace with another element, simply unscrew the two screws and disconnect the battery from the vacuum cleaner body

Among the obvious disadvantages, the condition of the brush of the combined nozzle after washing should also be highlighted. Brush pile is grouped, "cones" of rigid structure are formed.

Therefore, the washing must be carried out exactly according to the manufacturer's recommendations - with strictly cold water without using any chemistry.

Sometimes users notice a disadvantage of such a moment as dense clogging of the mesh screen of the garbage container. Meanwhile, the mesh screen is “clogged” with dirt and dust when the container filling mode is violated.

Again, following the manufacturer's recommendations, it is permissible to fill the container only up to the “Max” mark.

Reviews of the owners of Dyson the sixth version

In the reviews of the owners of the equipment regarding the Dyson v6 model range, in particular, for Slim Origin, a variety of views and wishes can be traced. However, in general, people are happy with the purchase and the quality of the vacuum cleaner. The closest look is female.

Many housewives of a compact vacuum cleaner report that the device is lightweight and convenient, well suited for daily cleaning. Often women use the device several times during the day, but due to the light weight, the severity from work is not felt.

The owners positively assess the absence of complex nozzles in the kit, like the more expensive models, but in terms of price compared to other offers, the Slim Origin modification clearly wins. A complete set of existing nozzles, according to users, is quite enough.

The Dyson v6 prototype is a v8 unit with increased suction power and expanded complexion. Model Overview Dyson v8 absolute given in this article.
