Extracting even the best vacuum cleaners is often too much hassle for some spilled cereal. It’s just easier to grab a broom and dustpan. Today’s lightweight, cordless vacuums attempt to replace the old non-electronic stand-by devices by making them even more convenient for quick retrieval. The Dyson V6 Automate is one such model, which will be your choice for messes on your wooden floors, carpets, couches and keyboards. It has reduced the versatile part — and supports this with powerful suction.

Lots of parts

I spent a few days throwing spare vacuum parts down the hall while carrying a Dyson V6 around the office recently. Don’t get me wrong: At just over five pounds, the Absolute is easy to carry, but it packs so many extras. When you open the box, you will see the main body, aluminum tube, parquet cleaning head, carpet cleaning head, nylon brush for pet hair, dust brush for electronics, crevice tool, combination tool, and docking station. All adhere to the familiar Dyson look of bright colors mixed with gray. The body of the vacuum contains a 0.11 gallon trash can, a HEPA filter, a top washable filter and a “V6” motor.

It’s pretty obvious, even without opening the manual, what goes where. You can insert everything into a red aluminum stick for extra reach or stick it straight into the body of the vacuum cleaner. This gives you versatility if you need to vacuum pet hair from the couch or dust the ceiling fan blades.

As I mentioned, the Absolute is wireless. Charging takes between three and four hours and is enough for about 20 minutes of cleaning. There’s a “Max” button that gives extra power, but leaving it on all the time drains the battery in about six minutes. I made a couple of regular and max mixes and found that I could clean for about 13 minutes using that technique. Although it can tackle your hardwoods and carpets, thanks to the various accessories, this vacuum won’t last long enough if you don’t live in a studio apartment.

Dust collection

Once you’ve connected everything (and charged the battery), you’re ready to go. To clean, you must constantly hold the trigger on the vacuum cleaner. This might not be a big deal during spot cleaning, but it can become annoying if you plan on draining the battery. Speaking of which, the first time it went flat, I didn’t notice the low battery light that came on quickly before the end. It would be nice to have a little more warning that time is running out. I feel like I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye before it died.

This vacuum won’t last long enough to clean your entire house unless you live in a studio apartment.

Two heads are good at what they are made for. The fluffy soft head did a great job of picking up sand, rice and flour, although there were times when it did pull or push the debris a bit before eventually gobbling it up. The carpet head did very well with flour and rice and almost as well as its larger cousin, the Cinetic Big Ball, when it came to sand particles.

Dyson boasts the suction created between the vacuum head and the floor, and I could definitely feel it when I wasn’t using the wand; it took some pulling to separate the two. I found that I really didn’t need to use the Max button with the soft head, but the vacuum definitely did a more thorough job on the carpet with the extra power. For some of the larger piles of rice, the vacuum seemed to push them a bit before finally pulling them in.

The Absolute is pretty adept at picking up pet fur, although a bit of it ended up in the bin when I used the wooden floor attachment. Instead, it got tangled around the smaller of the two soft rollers, but it was easy enough to remove, even if I prefer to touch pet hair while it’s still attached to a living, breathing animal. However, if you left work for a short time, this could prevent the close contact between the vacuum and the seal that is normally created by the suction of the Absolute.

The trash can opens quite easily and you can remove it for a more thorough cleaning. However, removing the bucket proved to be a bit awkward, and due to the position of the trigger, I kept accidentally starting the vacuum. Also, I thought I did something wrong when the filter on top of the vacuum kept falling out, but nope. It turns out that it’s just too easy to remove: it just sits in place, which is fine, until you start hitting the vacuum to shake off the dust particles and the filter falls off too.

Conclusion

There’s a lot to like about the Dyson V6 Absolute. It is light, easy to use, powerful and versatile. With its countless accessories, it can quickly tackle almost any job you throw at it, until you ask it to clean the whole house. With a battery life of 20 minutes or less, you’ll want to pull the Absolute out for small jobs and then return it to the charging station. Even with the $162 discount on Amazon, $438 is a lot for a vacuum that might be best used as an accessory, though it does a lot of tasks really well. Call it the price of progress.
