I am after a Dyson Stick Vac or similar, we had a DC30 which I suspect the battery was on its way out but then was left out in the rain and no longer works at all so its time for a replacement.
From a quick look it looks like these seem reasonable deals

DC35 Stick from target eBay for $375 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Dyson-Multi-Floor-Vacuum-Clea…

DC44 Animal Stick for $439 from target eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171975858649?_trksid=p2060353.m14…

V6 Animal Handstick for $485 from Masters with their extra 10% off $539 (discount doesn't apply to appliances) https://www.masters.com.au/product/101667824/dyson-vacuum-ha…

Contrary too what the posted deals might suggest I dont have pets, they are just the best deals I can see at the moment a few questions I have are,

What is the actual difference in between models i.e. 35vs44vsV6 this isn't as easy to find as it It should be.
Is there that big of a difference between the hard floor/carpet/animal etc heads in reality or is it predominately about the difference in the motor/vac.
There seems to semi regular deals for Dysons what sort of prices/discounts can they regularly be had for if your not in a hurry to purchase.
How do the above posted deals stack up are there better ones ATM that I have missed.

Also I am not wed to the idea in getting a Dyson, if there are others that offer better value I am all ears.

    My understand is DC44 and V6 have the same power, with V6 being the later model. DC30 is less powerful.

    Price wise, Target have sold DC44 for $349 before and there's been a few deals from others that sold for $399. The other 2 are ok but they have been sold for less before.

    I am also on the market but will keep waiting unless someone here can convince me to go for the DC44 now.

    so which Dyson stick has the power head on it? like the minimum one (previous and new model)

    i have a standard V6 and it is excellent. Not as good as a barrel vac, but it does the job easily for my regular clean.

    Better than my old DC35, way more power, better battery life, better suction, etc

    I only paid about $360 for it through a combination of deals, so my suggestion is you wait until a good deal pops up. There must be something just around the corner. The current standard prices are all stupidly expensive!

    Other option is to buy one on ebay/gumtree (there are HEAPS), and stick a new battery in it for $50 (also ebay)

    Go for DC44/V6

    Difference is sucking power and battery life with the latter models having a bit more battery life (+5 mins or so)

    Best deals are between $320-350

    With rumour of 20% off eBay maybe you can wait until then

      I wonder if that was referring to the current 20% off for Target.
