This cleaning head is featured on Dyson's v7 and V8. On the Dyson V10 you'll only find this head with the V10 Motorhead version. It is a more basic multi-surface floor cleaner with a rotating brushroll. This floor cleaner head is designed for hardwood floors and other hard surfaces.

Product information

2014: Dyson launches DC59 Motorhead – the first cordless machine with a direct-drive motor in the cleaner head for 75% more brush bar power than DC59 Animal.

The Bottom Line The Dyson DC59 Motorhead vacuum adds more floor-sweeping and upholstery-cleaning power to the performance offered by the slightly less expensive DC59 Animal.

Design and features. At an assembled weight of 4.9 pounds, the Dyson v6 Motorhead packs the majority of its power into the base. Hold the base by the handle, click the wand and the motorized head into place, depress the convenient trigger on the handle, and you're ready to vacuum.

'The only component that can be washed is the filter, which should be washed every three months to maintain the machine. 'If the machine is dropped into water, please do not use and contact the Dyson Helpline, and if any owner has any concerns about their products, further information can be found online.

The DC59 Motorhead that was now forms the primary components of both the $400 Dyson v6 Motorhead and the $500 Dyson v6 Animal. The only difference between the new models is the number of included attachments.

The DC59 Animal cordless vacuum cleaner is powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. This 350W motor, 2 Tier Radial cyclones and a re-engineered nickel manganese cobalt battery combine to provide powerful suction. The latest motorised head with carbon fibre filaments aids in achieving high dust removal.

Dyson claims a battery life of 26 minutes, which drops to just six minutes if you use the Boost mode. The Boost mode more than triples the suction power from 28 airwatts to 100 airwatts according to Dyson, so it can be useful for getting really stubborn dirt off in sports.

It's added the new Dyson V6 Fluffy that comes with an innovative new cleaning head designed for hard floors. The DC59 is now known as the Dyson V6 or the Dyson V6 Animal if you add the animal specific cleaning heads, but they remain fundamentally the same machine as the DC59 reviewed below.

Our Dyson Hyperdymium motors spin at 125,000 RPM – on average 5 times faster than a jet engine. A motor this powerful means that our vacuums have more powerful suction.

Dyson's Mini motorhead is designed with a motorised brush bar that spins at up to 3500rpm to remove ground-in dirt but at just 144mm wide, the tool is perfect for removing stubborn dirt from mattresses, upholstery, stairs and other small spaces around your home and car.

Only the Dyson Submarine™ wet roller head should be used to pick up wet debris and liquid spills. Engineered with intelligent power diversion and mode detection, all aspects of wet cleaning are contained within the wet roller head.

Like you know spilled fruit.

2015 Cordless

Best Overall: Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum With suction power up to 230 AW, the V15 Detect is the second most powerful cordless vacuum Dyson offers (just barely behind the V15 Detect Absolute model, our Best Upgrade pick). Our tester concluded this is the best vacuum she's ever used.
