As a dog rescue, we have a ton of kibble on the floor! We were getting frustrated that our V8 wasn't picking it up (without us picking it up and putting it over the kibble, like you showed). We'll get the fluffy tool now, thanks to your awesome demonstration! Thank you!
I've watched so many videos trying to find out if I need to return my new Dyson since it didn't include the soft head. This made me feel much better about keeping my new vacuum. Thank you!
Great video! This was my one big question that I had, and I’ve watched about six Dyson V8 animal reviews already and none of them have really answered this question in detail, so thank you for taking the time and effort to put such a detailed review together. It’s much appreciated!
This is a great explanation and demonstration. Thank you so much. For me I don't think I will need the soft brush, I do not have pets, and my babies are big now so no more cheerios all over the floor :))
Thank you for uploading a clear video with a clear demonstration on the two different heads. I wasn't sure if I needed the soft one but after seeing your video I know this would work great in my house.
Awesome breakdown of fluffy head. My choice was OEM for like $125 or fakes for about $40. I went OEM for warranty. Hope someone reviews one of the non-branded ones. Thanks for the help.
The direct drive carpet/hardfloor head will preform just as well as the fluffy tool on hardfloors in terms of dust and small debris like rice, cous cous, pieces of small flat paper, glitter, etc. But the fluffy shines in big debris pick up, using less power than the carpet head and to keep scattering in control (although it can spit some debris back out in the front, or flick big piece of dirt in front of it). But to be fair, the direct drive carpet and hardfloors head doesn't scatter as much as you may think.
I was debating about the soft brush and ended up getting it. I won't use the regular roller at all on any wood, tile flooring after doing my own comparison. Definitely worth getting.
I have had a v6 with the non fluffy motor head for years. Works great. But now we are looking to get another one and your video help me make my decision. We are getting the fluffy motor head. We have hard floors and 3 dogs. This will work so much better. Thanks for sharing.
Got my fluffy roller on order for my V11 Torque. I see where both roller types are beneficial. With 2,600 sq ft of hardwood flooring, dust is my main concern and I can see where the fluffy roller would work well for attacking dust.
Our sons spill popped popcorn on the floor sometimes and the Fluffy head "eats" it while the direct drive motorhead would just push it. Fluffy head makes a cleaner hard floor but the motorhead still works well.
We no longer have carpeting except for a few throw rugs. The man who installed our oak floors was impressed by the Dyson fluffy head and felt it was the best head for the wood floors. I love it and feel that our brush head might leave some light scratches. The fluffy head does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting. I use eithe the small motorized head or the larger head for the carpets. If you have wood and tile like we do, the fluffy head is invaluable! Love it! It is a more efficient use of the battery because it glides with ease over bare floors.
I find the direct driver cleaning head (non-fluffy) picks up longer strands of either hair or dust with less fuss including sucking it in from around the vacuum head albeit it still has to be very close as opposed to the fluffy requiring the head actually go over the exact spot I.e you have to be more precise in ensuring your strokes are either slightly over lapping or being mindful of the exact coverage of the head. I can happily be 1-2 cm out from my previous stroke without overlap and still pick up the surround dust/hair whereas the fluffy would simply leave the it there (this is in the low and medium settings)
Great demo and thorough explanations. Thanks for sharing. It's kinda dumb that the base Dyson packages offer no choice of cleaning head. With all this talk of HEPA filters and easy-empty bins and allergies, you'd think Dyson would be catering to people who value the air quality in their home and thus DO NOT have rugs at all. The fact that they pack in a cleaning head that works better on rugs and can't pick up the smallest objects on hardfloors really makes little sense. Hard to believe this is not a way to try and upsell people into the more expensive packages.
Thanks. The supplied motorhead is fine for hard floors. I use mine on my hard floors upstairs. It does pick up smaller objects, It’s the larger objects on hard floors where the fluffy head excels.
leepspvideo does the head comes with motohead leave scratches on hardwood floors? Just got one and it does feel like it is literally plastic wheels rolling on my wood floors.. kind of concerned
leepspvideo i read on their websites that the motorhead comes with a “direct drive cleaning head” but they only mentioned about it working on carpets... where as for the torque cleaning head on v10 animal claiming that it is suitable for both carpets and hard floors.
Vera Liu Dyson advertise it with hard floors. I have never had an issue. If you are concerned about a particular floor contact Dyson directly for assurance.
I haven’t got a fluffy head but I would say for my wooden floors it’s gotta be much better than the standard head that doesn’t pick up static dust as lacks contact with the floor
leepspvideo Unfortunately my machine is 4 months old and I haven’t found it particularly powerful at all, it’s more a quick going over hoover, I have had to keep my cordless which is a shame.
Good video. I just bought the soft roller attachment, although I’m waiting for it to arrive. Was on the fence about it, as it was quite expensive, but we’ll see! Again, good video.
Thanks for that - excellent video. Answered my question about whether to get a soft roller model. Think I do as it used to really annoy me how my old Dyson upright wouldn't pick up cat litter and cat food without going over it several times. Also explains what the direct drive system is all about which I wanted to know as well.
Love the vid and I’m definitely gonna get a fluffy head for mine. The fluffy roller of the rubbish Shark I had was one of its redeeming features and I found it really good on picking up fine dust and lager bits on my floors. Did my first whip around with my V10 yesterday downstairs and it was good.
This was so helpful. I have cats and they scatter their dry food everywhere. But I just looked up the price of the fluffy head and it’s over $200 in Australia! Might have to wait a while!!!
I bought a v10 animal today and it doesn’t come with the soft head. I wish it came with the soft head. I want the softer one for my wooden flooring so bad I am in a small property so I prob won’t even buy it :) thanks. Wish it wasn’t so expensive Just vacuumed over my wooden floors on low then went over with medium to see how it felt. Love this vacume very good! And did boost in the carpeted bedrooms. Very pleased.
It’s never gonna happen. Dyson only sold in uk as American homes have more carpets and uk homes have mostly hardwood floors, you can buy it as an extra in the us. The v15 has one but the uk ones are different from the us model one (the uk head is lager and has higher RPM’s)
I have linoleum floors with a free range bunny, 4 cats & 2 tiny humans... lots of little round kibble, snacks, pellets to vacuum every day. The brush roller just shoots everything across the floor. I’ve genuinely hated my dyson since I got it because of that, was SO disappointed. The fluffy head is like $150 so I’ve been so hesitant, will it even work since the brush roller is SO USELESS in my house?! Definitely going to grab one now!
The normal (non fluffy) head scratches my dark wood floors. I think on lighter colored wood floors, you wouldn’t notice, but the scratches are there. Ordered the fluffy tool.
Hello - thanks for the fab video. I have just bought one for my son’s dyson v6. Did you notice a difference between the v6 and V7 fluffy attachments at all?
I recently moved into an apartment with a fully carpeted bedroom that has a gray color. After a few months of using a fluffy vacuum head on the carpet, I noticed that the carpet's pattern is not as clean as it used to be. Upon checking the cleaner compartment, I found gray fibers, which I initially thought were cat hair or debris left by the previous tenant. Now, I suspect that the fluffy vacuum head is pulling out fibers from the carpet. I wonder if using a soft roller would be a better option to protect the carpet. Or is it inevitable that both fluffy heads and soft rollers can slowly damage the carpet, regardless of which one is used?
I just bought this vacuum last night from dyson’s website and it’s on sale for $249 and it came with the hard floor attachment for free for Memorial Day And the ends at 11:59pm today Edit not the hard floor fluffy attachment it was the hard floor attached that is hard and plastic
Is the fluffy tool any good for picking up fine dog hairs from hard surfaces, or do they get stuck on the fluffy roller and need to be cleaned of more then using the normal roller? Thank you for any advice.
I have cats and don’t have a problem. When our friends stayed for a few days with 2 dogs I was surprised at how much more hair they dropped. It still didn’t cause any build up.
I’m not sure if the fluffy head would be better for a large amount of hair on a hard floor. I suspect the ordinary carpet head may do a better job as there is a large space between the brushes. The best bet would be to bag up some hair and ask them in a local store if you could try both.
Is there a nozzle with a fluffy roll for canister vacs no matter the brand? I live abroad and there´s no such thing, and the vacuum I use is scratching my floors big time. SOS pls!
@leepspvideo Does your fluffy head move a little left or right when in a straight line vacuuming? I know it moves as part of the design, just want to make sure mines working normally
I read reviews that said you need the fluffy head for tiles because the direct cleaning head eventually ends up scratching tiles or other hard floors. Would you say this is true? I am thinking of buying a dyson and needing to lift it up to pick up larger debris isn't an issue for me. I'm more concerned about damaging the floor at this point.
I haven’t experienced scratching, but I don’t have tiles. The fluffy is just better for hard floors, even if you don’t need it for picking up larger debris
The fluffy head is cracked on top of the curved part of the head even in your video. Don´t you see that? That is the reason we sent two Dyson V8 Fluffy back to amazon because we received it already broken.
Is the fluff roller good at picking up hair? Or does it get stuck to the roller and tangle up? I have a German Shephard and I was given a dyson v6 with no head. The fluff roller head is more cost effective but not if I'm going to struggle with it and the dog hair not coming off the fluff. Please let me know.
Hi, it only fits the models it comes supplied with. I just checked the Animal and it doesn’t fit. It also doesn’t fit the basic white v6. The contacts are shaped differently.
does the soft roller cleaner head avoid the streaks left on the floor by the regular head? I have V8 model and have found (as many others online) that the vacuum is leaving streaks on the hardwood floors
I found this website. bestvacuumcleanerinfo.com/best-vacuum-for-berber-carpet/ It seems to suggest using a cleaner with a roller Brush you can switch off. This isn’t an option on Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners. You can turn off the brush roller on mains powered Dyson’s. Dyson have made hard floor tools in the past like this one www.espares.co.uk/product/es1751245?+shopping&+shopping&mkwid=sGt4jns3i&pcrid=174054713172&kword=&match=&plid=&pdv=t&gclid=CjwKCAjw8LTmBRBCEiwAbhh-6DDpDfJpb9CcqdR4V0cj8RDiUZHt1M_DGU-rvzPDa5OCV9w9To3IxxoCdYQQAvD_BwE I would contact Dyson or Berber direct, the soft roller head may be suitable.

@@leepspvideo i have very high pile 2.5 in, hair-like, and i'm concerned motorized head will chew it up. have you tried anything like that with a Dyson?
Me: Should I see myself what the difference is or should I just search on youtube for 5minutes and watch a video? Well... you see where I ended up. Thanks. Looks like I'll only use the fluffy anymore
I'm thinking of buying a V8 Animal from Costco (it's on sale at the moment). I have a combination of hardwood, linoleum, and carpeting in my small home. The V8 Animal does not come with the fluffy head, so my one concern is that it might scratch my hardwood floors (I don't generally have any bigger pieces of anything to vacuum up so I don't need the fluffy head for that reason). Can anyone tell me if the carpet cleaning head that comes with the V8 Animal would definitely scratch hard wood? I do like the idea of not having to change the heads, and I think the carpet cleaning head would be enough for me, but I'd hate to ruin my hard wood.
The Motörhead that’s supplied with the V8 is listed as suitable for all floors. I exclusively use the Motörhead upstairs in my home which has all hard floors with the exception of the landing carpet. The brushes are much finer than most vacuum cleaners.
I purchased the Dyson v8 Animal just recently. Could I just buy a soft brush roller and swap it out with the one that came with the vacuum when I needed it? Are they compatible? Thank you.
Yes, I haven’t tried it for a while. Register your Dyson and create an account. You will then be able to browse the accessories available for your machine on the MyDyson website.
As a dog rescue, we have a ton of kibble on the floor! We were getting frustrated that our V8 wasn't picking it up (without us picking it up and putting it over the kibble, like you showed). We'll get the fluffy tool now, thanks to your awesome demonstration! Thank you!
This was super helpful. Just spent 30 minutes trying to research this. Should have come here sooner. :)

The fluffy is amazing because it seems to really polish the surface that I run it over and I've picked up more dust than I do with my regular vacuum.
Stefan Brattlöf really?
If you use the hard tool on hard floors it will wear out and flatten the bristles so it's best to use the soft roller.
I was debating about the soft brush and ended up getting it. I won't use the regular roller at all on any wood, tile flooring after doing my own comparison. Definitely worth getting.

Great channel!! Is the fluffy head gd for pet hair? Thankyou in advance.
Yes it is
Good review - much better than Techmoan!
We have a very dusty house and one day after vacuuming the dust returns. Would the fluffy tool be better for dust pick up?
On hard floors, yes
I bought the v11 animal can I buy the soft roller? Would t fit?
How would the fluffy tool work on wool carpet
Its not very abrasive, but I would check with the carpet manufacturer.
I just bought this vacuum last night from dyson’s website and it’s on sale for $249 and it came with the hard floor attachment for free for Memorial Day And the ends at 11:59pm today
Edit not the hard floor fluffy attachment it was the hard floor attached that is hard and plastic
Well fuck
You'll want the v10 much better
I have a question does the original brush is better on carpet than the fluffy that have a really softbrush? The original look more rigidbrush
The original brush is much better on carpet. The fluffy head isn’t good on carpet
My fluffy head is broken. I am looking into buying a replacement for a cheaper price. any review?
Does the fluffy tool have de tangling technology for hair?
Yes mine doesn’t suffer from hair build up. The carpet tool does
Do you have to keep pushing the red button to keep it on? It hurts my wrist.
Is the fluffy tool any good for picking up fine dog hairs from hard surfaces, or do they get stuck on the fluffy roller and need to be cleaned of more then using the normal roller? Thank you for any advice.
I have cats and don’t have a problem. When our friends stayed for a few days with 2 dogs I was surprised at how much more hair they dropped. It still didn’t cause any build up.
what about for hair. i cut hair all the time would the fluffy be better or worst?

Yes
How do both do on hair wrap?
The fluffy much better. I have never had to clear it. The carpet tool I occasionally have to use scissors to clear it.
I wonder if we still need to use a mop after the fluffy head 🤔
Depends on the state of the floor
I read reviews that said you need the fluffy head for tiles because the direct cleaning head eventually ends up scratching tiles or other hard floors. Would you say this is true? I am thinking of buying a dyson and needing to lift it up to pick up larger debris isn't an issue for me. I'm more concerned about damaging the floor at this point.
I haven’t experienced scratching, but I don’t have tiles. The fluffy is just better for hard floors, even if you don’t need it for picking up larger debris
How is the fluffy tool with pet hair? do you have to pull them out of the roller 1 by 1?
I only have cats when my friends stayed with 2 dogs it picked up fine and didn’t tangle
@@leepspvideo Nice, thanks.
Hi, would you recommend the Motorbar for parquet? I am afraid it could scratch it. Thanks
I would consult the floor manufacturer.
Would a V7 or V8 with fluffy head be more worth than a V10 or V11 without fluffy head?
For hard floors the fluffy head is better. The v10 and 11 have longer battery life
The fluffy head is cracked on top of the curved part of the head even in your video. Don´t you see that?
That is the reason we sent two Dyson V8 Fluffy back to amazon because we received it already broken.
I’ve just checked it’s not cracked, it must just look like it in the video.
Do you find that the cat hair sticks to the soft head? Which is better for picking up pet hair from hardwood floors?
I prefer the soft roller for hard floors. I don’t find that cat hair sticks to the soft head.
Is the fluff roller good at picking up hair? Or does it get stuck to the roller and tangle up? I have a German Shephard and I was given a dyson v6 with no head. The fluff roller head is more cost effective but not if I'm going to struggle with it and the dog hair not coming off the fluff. Please let me know.
For me hair doesn’t seem to tangle with the fluffy head. It does with the all floors head.
The fluffy head is only good on hard floors.
Does fluffy tool work alright on carpet?
Not well at all. You could use it on very short pile carpet.
Can you tell me about the brushes on the fluffy head. Do yours where off like mine?
Yes the black bits of mine are worn, it’s still effective though.
How do I clean the fluffy roller heald? I could imagine, that it gets dirty easily.
You can use a coin to remove the whole roller. Mine still looks pretty clean.
Does the fluffy tool get really nasty with car hair stuck on it?
I don’t use it in the car
@@leepspvideo sorry typo I meant cat hair
@@binamistry79 cat hair doesn’t get stuck at all in mine.
Amazing thank you!!!

The head of mine has come out a bit n doesn't spin. Can you please do a vid on taking them apart?

I have 2 very hairy dogs. Would this fluffy roller just get consumed with dog hair?
It coped well after lockdown haircuts.
best dyson for both poured cement and for high pile area rugs?
Best option is one with a fluffy head for hard floors They always cone with a motorised carpet head for carpets and rugs.
@@leepspvideo i have very high pile 2.5 in, hair-like, and i'm concerned motorized head will chew it up. have you tried anything like that with a Dyson?
Ingrid Schaller No, it might be worth asking Dyson.
Hi. Which attachment would be better for uneven stone floors in my living room that's covered in dust and dog hair?
I would go with the fluffy head.
leepspvideo thanks!
Me: Should I see myself what the difference is or should I just search on youtube for 5minutes and watch a video?
Well... you see where I ended up. Thanks. Looks like I'll only use the fluffy anymore
Do you not have any carpets or rugs.
@@leepspvideo 1. Everything else is hardwood floor :)
Dont suck snow moisture can damage your motor.
Will fluffy head work on wool carpets ? The regular head ruins it :(
Alex Prodan I’m not sure. Best to ask Dyson or your carpet manufacturer.
I'm thinking of buying a V8 Animal from Costco (it's on sale at the moment). I have a combination of hardwood, linoleum, and carpeting in my small home. The V8 Animal does not come with the fluffy head, so my one concern is that it might scratch my hardwood floors (I don't generally have any bigger pieces of anything to vacuum up so I don't need the fluffy head for that reason). Can anyone tell me if the carpet cleaning head that comes with the V8 Animal would definitely scratch hard wood? I do like the idea of not having to change the heads, and I think the carpet cleaning head would be enough for me, but I'd hate to ruin my hard wood.
The Motörhead that’s supplied with the V8 is listed as suitable for all floors. I exclusively use the Motörhead upstairs in my home which has all hard floors with the exception of the landing carpet. The brushes are much finer than most vacuum cleaners.
I purchased the Dyson v8 Animal just recently. Could I just buy a soft brush roller and swap it out with the one that came with the vacuum when I needed it? Are they compatible? Thank you.
Yes, I haven’t tried it for a while. Register your Dyson and create an account. You will then be able to browse the accessories available for your machine on the MyDyson website.
Does the dyson v10 soft roller cleaner head attachment compatible with the dyson v11 torque cleaner head model?
Yes
My carpet roller does not revolve anymore. Do you have any idea why would it do that?
Is it the same connected directly to the Dyson without the pipe.
Thanks for your video. If I buy the soft roller cleaner head will it be compatible with the Animal model?
After registering your dyson you can see all the available accessories available for your model. The answer is generally Yes.
@@leepspvideo I have bought it now and it is compatible. Thanks!
jeezus, that ONE attachment is like $100+ on amazon.. A brush head costs as much as a new crappy vacuum sheesh
