Review of the Dyson v6 Slim Origin vacuum cleaner: cleaning an apartment from floor to ceiling

Versatility, practicality, efficiency - these are the three main properties of household appliances that Dyson engineers decided to adopt when developing the v6 series models.Let's figure out whether the Dyson v6 Slim Origin cordless vacuum cleaner meets these requirements.

We have prepared a detailed review of the battery model with a description of technical characteristics, capabilities, design features and equipment. Comparisons with competitive stick vacuum cleaners, as well as user reviews given in the article, will help you decide whether to purchase a Dyson v6 Slim Origin.

Model specifications

The manual design of the Dyson V6 Slim Origin (literally) with support for floor-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 Dyson cordless machines.

The cordless design of the cleaning equipment provides the user with many advantages.However, many of the advantages of working with devices of this configuration are involuntarily reduced by the disadvantages of time and battery charge

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

The Slim Origin device deserves consumer attention, first of all, precisely because of its wireless configuration, which somewhat increases the level of comfort in home cleaning mode. The relatively low price (20 thousand rubles) in relation to other designs also plays a role.

Table of the main operational technical characteristics of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner:

The vacuum cleaner is powered by a lithium-cobalt-manganese battery (2100 mAh). The low weight (2.04 kg) of the entire structure of the device allows you to clean rooms without much stress.

The design dimensions (210x208x118 mm) provide access to cleaning 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:

Features of design and configuration

The standard version of the Dyson v6 cleaning accessories is limited to one combination nozzle and a turbo floor brush. At the same time, it is possible to purchase additional accessories in case you need them.

The turbo brush attachment is designed to perform the bulk of cleaning work. The swivel head of the accessory allows installation of the rod at angles up to 180 degrees

A turbo brush – also known as an electric brush – successfully performs the functions of cleaning surfaces of any type. The effectiveness of cleaning, tested in practice, is marked by good results, primarily due to the technological design of the electric brush roller.

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

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

While one strip's bristle material is polypropylene, the other strip is entirely carbon fiber-based bristle material.

It is thanks to this configuration of bristly strips and placing them one after another that the effect of high-quality cleaning of hard and soft coatings is achieved.

Vacuum cleaner motor version

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

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

As a result, Dyson's wireless power technology is miniature in size, light in weight and has a fairly high power level.

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

A characteristic feature of cordless cleaning equipment, including the Dyson v6 design, is the availability of easy and simple cleaning of ceiling areas or other extremely inconveniently located areas that are difficult to access.

It all depends on the area and clutter of the area where cleaning is required. But in general, to restore order in the territory of one small room up to 40 m2², 20 minutes is enough.

Features of the control button

Among the features of the drive circuitry is electronic control. This engineering approach ensures reliable overload protection and maximum user convenience. The engine is turned on by a button on the handle.

In this case, the button does not support the fixation mode. That is, in the state of the button pressed, the engine is started, in the state of the button released, the engine is stopped. This on/off technique saves battery power.

The Dyson v6 cordless vacuum cleaner is launched with one click of the button (on the left - red). At the same time, using another button (on the right - MAX) turns on the turbo mode

If you hold the motor control button on and simultaneously press another button "MAX", it is located behind the handle at the rear end, the vacuum cleaner will switch to operating mode "Turbo" By pressing “Turbo” again, the mode is canceled and the machine returns to normal mode.

Cyclone effect for air flow

The company's specialists have developed a universal cyclone module, which is equipped with all wireless models.

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

Cyclone row - a system of cyclones located around a circle in two rows - one above the other. A kind of unique scheme that promotes high-quality separation of suspended particles from the air

This scheme is distinguished by higher technical characteristics. An increase in air flow is achieved at a level that makes it possible to collect the smallest particles of dust and other contaminants from surfaces.

Contaminants carried away by the air flow enter the cyclone system, where they are effectively cut off and collected in a waste container.

The top point of the cyclone sphere is the entrance area for installing/removing the fine filter. This type of filter is used to completely clean the air of contaminants.

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

As a result, the output of the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner receives an air mixture purified to a level of at least 0.3 microns. This is a very high degree of purification if you follow existing standards.

Configuration for easy operation

The device is really convenient to use, and this is evidenced by many owners who leave reviews on working with the equipment. The Dyson v6 configuration seems to provide everything based on the wishes of the potential user.

The lightweight design does not require significant physical strength, and the degree of convenience is fully reflected by such properties as ease of control and good balance.

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

The Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner is easy to use thanks to its compact, lightweight design. An additional plus is the absence of a network electrical cable, which creates inconvenience during operation.

One of the important working accessories for Dyson cordless equipment is a removable tube. Using this accessory in different configurations, it is very easy to transform the vacuum cleaner into a compact cleaning machine. And its compactness allows you to carry out work in places where space is very limited.

Container and docking station

A prominent feature of the design of the wireless Dyson v6 is the mechanism for hygienic cleaning of the trash container. Essentially, the user does not come into contact with debris when using this feature.

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

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

Dyson engineers came up with a hygienic way to empty the garbage collector. If you follow the rules for filling the container, the car owner will not have to come into contact with garbage

In addition to convenience in terms of hygiene, the design of the cordless vacuum cleaner also provides convenience for storage. All the user needs is to choose the optimal place in the house to install the docking station.

Typically, docking station installation is done in a wall-mounted configuration. The parking panel is suspended at a height slightly greater than the length of the vacuum cleaner, if we consider the device assembled with an extension pipe.

Hanging the device for storage while the apartment remains clean. At any time, the equipment can be removed from the “parking” and without preparation, immediately get involved in the cleaning work

A power socket is installed in the immediate vicinity of the installed parking panel to connect the charging adapter. This creates a convenient and practical storage area for the Dyson v6 vacuum cleaner.

Advantages and disadvantages of a vacuum cleaner

The advantages of wireless technology design are obvious:

• reduced overall dimensions;
• lightweight execution;
• no wires underfoot;
• versatility of cleaning in terms of zonal access;
• ease of emptying the trash container;
• highly efficient air filtration;
• attractive design.

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

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

Identified deficiencies:

• overheating of the case when operating at maximum power;
• cleaning time restrictions;
• the need to constantly charge the battery.

Significant heating is observed in the area where the battery is located (the lower part of the handle). The surface of which is finished with smooth plastic, which is already slippery.

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

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

Among the obvious shortcomings, the condition of the brush of the combination nozzle after washing should also be highlighted.The brush pile is grouped, and “bumps” of a rigid structure are formed.

Therefore, washing must be carried out exactly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations - strictly with cold water without the use of any chemicals.

Sometimes users note that a disadvantage is that the mesh screen of the garbage disposal is tightly clogged. Meanwhile, the mesh screen becomes “clogged” with dirt and dust when the container’s filling mode is disrupted.

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

Reviews from owners of Dyson version 6

Reviews from equipment owners regarding the Dyson v6 model range, in particular for Slim Origin, reveal a variety of views and wishes. However, in general, people are satisfied with the purchase and the quality of the vacuum cleaner. The closest gaze is a woman's.

Many owners 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 its light weight, the work does not feel heavy.

Owners appreciate the lack of complex attachments in the kit, like more expensive models, but in terms of price, compared to other offers, the Slim Origin modification clearly wins. And the configuration of existing attachments, according to users, is quite sufficient.

The Dyson v6 prototype is a v8 unit with increased suction power and expanded packaging. Model overview Dyson V8 Absolute given in this article.
