Dyson's softer brush roll brings its stick vac off of the carpet (pictures)

The $600 Dyson v6 Absolute looks very similar to the rest of the Dyson stick line, but it has a few key differences for extra versatility. Click through to find out more.

The basics are the same. Click a wand to the vacuum core and a vacuum head to that. You're ready to roll.

Power the Absolute by pressing the trigger.

It has the same engine as the other Dyson sticks, but the blue cap at the end holds a HEPA filter, a first for the line.

The normal filter is still there, and it pulls out easily for cleaning.

The Absolute comes with more attachments than the rest, and two full-size vacuum heads.

The first vacuum head is the same one that you'll find on the v6 Motorhead. It's meant for carpets and spins the bristles with its own direct drive engine.

The soft roller cleaner head is brand-new. Meant for hardwood floors, the head replaces bristles with a full width roller that maintains contact with the floor as it spins, keeping a seal to help the vac capture small particles. It's also designed to get over the top of larger particles, letting you clean a variety of messes without the usual danger of scratches caused by spinning bristles.

Remove the wand and snap any of the pieces to the vacuum cleaner's core for handheld cleaning.

The Absolute also includes a dusting brush and a combi tool.

It rounds out its attachments with a crevice tool and a mini motorized tool.

The Dyson v6 Absolute puts a lot of vacuuming power and versatility in your hand, if you're willing to pay $600 for it.
