Our verdict

A light cordless Dyson with a detangling floor head and a hair screw tool for upholstery and pet beds. The longest runtime applies only in Eco mode, so sessions on higher power run shorter.

Overview

Dyson built the V9 Motorbar as a cordless stick vacuum that clicks into a handheld for cars, sofas and upholstery. Its Motorbar head untangles wrapped hair as it cleans, and whole machine filtration traps pet allergens and fine dust before air leaves.

Hair handling is the reason to buy: the floor head detangles as you go and the conical hair screw tool works on pet beds and upholstery. Dyson notes runtime varies with power mode, floor type and attachment, so the headline figure is a ceiling.

Who it's for

Homes with pets and a mix of carpet and hard floors get a vacuum that detangles hair and doubles as a handheld for the car. Owners of big homes who clean everything in one pass on high power should plan for recharges or a corded model.

Performance notes

Suction stays even until the battery runs low, which Dyson calls fade-free, while runtime depends on power mode, floor type and attachment. The Motorbar head's detangling action governs how it copes with long hair on carpet, and whole machine filtration decides how much fine dust returns to the room.
