    Came on Ozbargain just now to find this…
    Timing is perfect thanks OP!

    worth saving for a V8 instead of this? is the V6 motor really that loud?

    • m9 on 06/08/2017 - 13:02

      Or buy 3 of this.

    • Scab on 06/08/2017 - 13:07

      Loud isn't the issue, it's the run time and emptying the canister.

    • JonShannow on 06/08/2017 - 17:51

      We recently got a V8 and I am really happy with it.

      Tried the V6 and V8 in the shop and the V6 was waaaaay louder.

      The V8 is only loud when you use the 'max' sucking setting, which I haven't needed to use yet.

      Good run time and emptying the canister is easy as well on the V8.

      Yes, the V8 is a lot more money but remember that this is something you will be using (hopefully) for many years so you want the one that is going to do the job and you are happy with.

      I would say go the V8 if you can afford it.

      Up to 20 minutes run time.

    What makes dyson better than normal vacume?

    • dragonxx on 06/08/2017 - 13:45

      It sucks and it sucks hard!!!! Check this out: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/275638#comment-4170839.

        Dyson's vacuum suction is not that great. Many cheap vacuums are better than it for suction. However, Dyson's motorheads are excellent and great for carpet. I'd pick the Dyson V6 or V8 with motorhead for carpet. For hard floors, I prefer to use my $69 Makita handheld since I have the batteries and charger already at home.

          try vacuum with other brands first, then use Dyson again, you find the difference

      I was pretty skeptical, but my ex bought one and when I borrowed it I had to admit that it works remarkably well. Enough so that I've been watching out for one to go one special for a little while now.

      I hate vacuuming but i bought one of these and it's almost enjoyable because it's so easy and takes less than half the time.

    • rodericb on 06/08/2017 - 17:00

      Marketing I think. My parents have a Dyson corded vac and it is not as good as my Electrolux ultra-one. I also have an Electrolux Ergorapido plus (owned for around three years so far) and for some reason my wife recently bought a Dyson V6 animal and I can't see any difference in performance. The Dyson V6 is a bit of a fiddle with fluff getting caught in the dust container.

      I would be looking at that kmart/target vac which got a fair bit of media attention recently if I was looking for something not so expensive.

  • DEvok on 06/08/2017 - 14:12

    Should I get the Dyson animal or the v8?

    • WhyAmICommenting on 06/08/2017 - 16:22

      $$$ is the biggest difference, then runtime and canister convenience as noted above. If my v6 breaks I'll be on the lookout for a v8. Until then I'm more than happy.

    • PAXA359 on 07/08/2017 - 11:57

      Wait for the V10… :P

  • endotherm on 06/08/2017 - 14:23

    I bought this for ~$400 originally, with help from the eBay 20% sales. When they dropped to ~$300 I got the difference paid back via credit card price protection (28 Degrees). Unfortunately I miss out on this extra price drop reimbursement as it was over 6 months ago. That hurts.

    • The Wololo Wombat on 06/08/2017 - 22:21

      Wait Wait.

      WHAT?!?

      Is price protection something you pay for?

        https://bwmdentsu-pds-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/media/28degreesmas…

        It has other benefits e.g. covers loss and damage, loss of employment…etc.
        Cost is $0 if you pay off your card balance in full for the month, otherwise it is 5% of the balance for the month. I think I've paid about $2 in the last 5 years for the cover, usually because I pay off the balance. Sometimes an oversight and I have a few dollars owing at billing time.

        This also applies to Coles Mastercard (terms and conditions are different). Both are owned/run by Latitude Finance. I'm not sure if other cards have similar protections.

        • The Wololo Wombat on 08/08/2017 - 08:38

          Wow! I need to get on to this! Thanks!

          @The Wololo Wombat: It was once considered essential equipment to be an OzBargainer, and the go-to credit card to have. The benefits have weakened over the years but it still has some advantages, especially no foreign fees and good exchange rates, making it the best for foreign currency transactions. I think the current thinking is to have this card and the Citibank card.

          In terms of purchase protection, the Coles card is possibly better, 24 months instead of 6 months, but it isn't as good in other areas. You'll need to compare them for your use.

        • illumination on 08/08/2017 - 14:16

          @endotherm:

          The Coles Mastercard is definitely better from a price protection point of view. How can you say possibly when one is 18 months longer than the other :P

        • endotherm on 08/08/2017 - 14:30

          @illumination: I have both. Last time I looked I believe one had a limit of $2000/yr and $400 an item, where the other one did not, or the dollar amounts were different (something like that, don't quote me). The other consideration is you might be buying a high-priced item from overseas on a foreign currency. You need to weigh up the possibility of a substantial price drop in the last 18 months of your 24, versus the money you save in currency conversion combined with a likely drop in the first 6 months. It depends on the individual's circumstances and needs to be weighed against each other, that's all I'm saying.

          Just like with this deal — it dropped over $100 fairly quickly, but only $40 more in the following months. I don't think it has much more discount in it, though I could be wrong.

        • illumination on 08/08/2017 - 14:41

          @endotherm: I have both too, but I don't bother with price protection on the 28 Degrees at all because it is shorter and inferior.

          AFAIK, they used to have a limit of $10k per life of the card but I believe that's been removed or increased. I believe the key differences between both are the premium (0.5% 28D vs 1% Coles) and time period (6 months vs 24 months). The per item is $600, or $2000/year.

          The other consideration is you might be buying a high-priced item from overseas on a foreign currency.

          Not a consideration because you can only claim price drops for items purchased in Australia. Wording from the PDS is as follows:

          If you buy an item in Australia with your Coles Mastercard and within 24 months the item is reduced in price in the same retailer at any location within Australia..

          As you said, the benefits of the 28 Degrees have definitely weakened over the years. Not so much because it has gotten worse, but because there have been alternative cards that have come up. The new, better version of the 28 Degrees is probably the Bankwest Platinum Zero.

          edit: Coles MC lifetime limit for "Account Cover Plus" is now $50k. Can't find 28D's.

          edit 2: To me the consideration of whether to use Coles MC or another Credit Card is more about this Price Protection vs Points earn and extended warranty. The points you earn on another Credit Card are probably better than the Coles, depending on which card of course so is probably negligible, but there is probably some value in having the extended warranty. You could of course argue about ACL but this saves you from having to argue about it (at the expensive of not getting price protection). The cards that I generally would consider paying with instead of a Coles MC would be AMEX Explorer or AMEX Platinum Edge.

        • endotherm on 08/08/2017 - 14:53

          @illumination: At least you get something if you are making a foreign currency purchase with the 28 Degrees anyway. Pretty much a no-brainer to use the Coles card if buying in AUD (unless it is maxed out :) ). If you are buying something like jewellery or art that doesn't change value, or isn't expected to be discounted for years, the argument is moot. You may actually save money by using the currency conversion savings, rather than have 2 years price protection that you'll never use.

          The "purchased in Australia" thing is misleading. Price protection does apply to online purchases from overseas. Merchandise protection (damage/loss/theft) applies to purchases worldwide.

          (I need to refresh my memory better…)

          Also if you are the type of person that doesn't pay off the balance each month, it costs you more to get protection with the Coles card.

        • illumination on 08/08/2017 - 15:11

          @endotherm:

          At least you get something if you are making a foreign currency purchase with the 28 Degrees anyway.

          Wait, what do you get??

          The "purchased in Australia" thing is misleading. Price protection does apply to online purchases from overseas. Merchandise protection (damage/loss/theft) applies to purchases worldwide.

          Yes correct, price protection does apply to online purchases, but they have to be from an Australian store. I didn't say anything in my last comment which suggested it didn't apply to online purchases.

          Also if you are the type of person that doesn't pay off the balance each month, it costs you more to get protection with the Coles card.

          Correct. Not relevant to me and I hope everyone on Ozbargain. You should never not pay off your balance on your Credit Cards!

          My point is though that if you are making a foreign currency purchase (which presumably would be a non-Australian purchase, thus no price protection regardless of whether you pay with 28D or Coles), you should definitely use a card like the 28D because you don't get price protection anyway.

          edit: I think I just understood what you meant. Do you mean if you pay with 28 Degrees, you get your forex fees waived and you get Merchandise Protection? In which case I think we are in agreement anyway. As I said, you should use 28 Degrees as long as the currency charged is not AUD - and it has nothing to do with price protection!

    Thoughts on a hard floor option? With light carpet on a stairwell, maybe on couches too? Double storey, so a bit of battery life if portable would help.

    • Scab on 06/08/2017 - 16:49

      The normal motorised head with any model is great on hard floors.

      For carpet, these things are really only good for short loop pile, with shaggy or plush pile the beater bar stops spinning as it's not powerful enough.

    • TRENT86 on 06/08/2017 - 23:27

      We use it on our hard wood floors and yes it can work pretty good picking up things like dust and sand but things around the size of a pea will not be sucked up. One thing you have to keep doing Is clean the head every time you use it because it can scratch the floors at times. Light carpet it works fine too and you can also put on max mode which sucks the crap out of light carpet

  • MikeKulls on 06/08/2017 - 14:44

    We have a Dyson, not this one but a different model. It is the worst vacuum I've ever owned. It clogs very very easily and you need special tools to unclog it, along with being mildly mechanically minded and likely void the warranty. My 30 year old Electrolux was far better.

    • MikeKulls on 06/08/2017 - 14:47

      It also fills up after vacuuming a single room despite being a full sized cleaner

    Although I do love being able to just grab my V6 and start vacuuming they are not very good at picking up small chunky stuff, they basically snow plow it! Tiny things like dust it works great though

    • MikeKulls on 06/08/2017 - 17:52

      That's a Dyson basically. They are very limited in what they can pick up. You need to drag the head back towards yourself to vacuum, after picking up anything larger than a pea.

    Tempting but like most have already mentioned, the V8 is superior. It's alot more money but as someone said above, it's a device you want to keep for a few years. Probably worth investing in the V8.

    However, I'm considering buying this just for the car.

  • Scorpex on 07/08/2017 - 11:37

    Bought a V6 after using my girlfriend's mains powered Dyson. Run time with the V6 is only just sufficient for my small place. It would require several recharges to do a larger place. Can't complain about efficiency, but the short run (and sudden stop - no warning or run down) would make me wary in a larger home.

  • Fizzgig on 07/08/2017 - 15:31

    Has anyone had experience with Electrolux stick vacuums? Am I better off to go for the Dyson V6 Slim compared to something like this? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Electrolux-ZB3113-Ergorapido-…

    • p2015 on 08/08/2017 - 14:36

      This is a really good question. I am very interested in some feedback about this too.

      I used to have an Electrolux that looked exactly like this one, but NOT lithium battery, so it had a lot of hassles.

      They seem to be at an identical price point.

      Dyson V6 Slim or the Electrolux as linked?

  • The Wololo Wombat on 10/08/2017 - 13:24

    Oh wow. The slim has a really slim head! It's not what I was expecting!
