I'm on my 2nd V6 paid about $200 for the first one, it quit, thought was the battery $50 for china replacement still didn't work. Got a Dyson refurbished V6 for $140 looked brand new.

Ordered new Dyson motor for $65 from UK to fix the first one. Didn't know you had to tear it a part to clean. Gave that one to son for college apartment using original battery guessing almost 4 years old.

I just cleaned the second one. I just pull the filter and disassemble and rinse. Remove motor from body and rinse with water and shake and rinse some more. Reinstall filter then slip 2 1/2" shop vac hose on bottom of cyclone assembly and let run for 20 minutes sucking air backwards thru filter & cyclone assembly to dry.

Not much carpet left in the house but a cat and dog so it get used almost daily. Almost always on max speed.

My fault for burning up the first motor.
