Hi all,

We have a Dyson V6 (bought for us by our daughter) and tonight I used
it to remove the dog hairs from a 2 bed flat.

Did she buy you the D6 or the D6 animal (purple) which is for cat and dog hair and pets in general ?

Good question, it's purple so 'Animal'?

I did it in 3 charges as
the particular dog hairs seem to have been fairly embedded (and their
cleaner didn't seem to be able to get them). If I'd really wanted to
give it a deep clean I'd have taken our Meile Big Cat n Dog corded
cylinder but I wanted to test the Dyson.

I use my corded animal when doing large areas covered in cat hair, if it's just a small area that needs cleaning I use my cordless dyson cordless which is not the animal version and that does have greater difficulty picking up hair and doesn't give the same 'deep' clean and seems less powerful and isn't an 'animal version' which came out a few months later.

Ok...

On looking at the Gtech on TV they do seem rather cumbersome and arkward looking at the design and where the bin is located, but not having tried one I don't know.
But when I need a replacement I think I'll stick with another dyson probabley the DC 12 animal (which doesn't exist yet, but might be out about the time I think I need a new cleaner)

Ok. ;-)

Mum (88) is also considering a cordless cleaner but she needs
something for the stairs so would the Gtech Multi / AirRam combo be
better than the latest Dyson (Cyclone V10?) for her?

I think the V10 might be lighter and eaisier to maneuver on stairs than the gtech which seems a bit larger and bulkier.

That was my thought. I believe she did try the V6 on the / her stairs
and found it manageable but never having the Gtech Multi to try we /
she can't really compare?

I now use my dyson cordless on the stairs.
