Find your angle
Both the v6 and the v6 Motorhead are easy to use on any surface.
Upgraded head
The cleaning head differs between the v6 and the v6 Motorhead. The Motorhead is on the right, with a wider cavity and powered brush roll.
Accessorize
With a variety of tools that are easy to snap in place, the Motorhead can be customized to fit a variety of jobs.
Deep clean
You can use the mini-motorized tool for upholstery.
Boost mode
Press the Max button on the back to give the Motorhead an extra push of power.
Still a stick
The 0.12 gallon bin fills up quickly. If it overfills, you'll need to dig to get it clean.
