The Motorbar head combs the hair off its own brush bar
Forty-three polycarbonate vanes sit across the Motorbar cleaner head, and they do the job your fingers usually end up doing. As the brush bar spins, the vanes lift wrapped hair and pet hair off the roller and spiral it straight into the bin. The roller stays clear, keeps its bite, and never skates across the floor on a felted mat of its own hair. Hair stops being a maintenance chore.
The drive motor sits inside the roller itself, so the head cleans at full width, edge to edge.
Stiff nylon bristles work ground-in dirt out of carpet pile. Carbon fiber filaments sweep fine dust off hard floors before it scatters, so one head covers both surfaces without a swap.
Suction that holds up as the bin fills
A Hyperdymium motor spinning at up to 120,000rpm drives the V9, good for 100 Air Watts of suction in Boost mode. Eleven Root Cyclones spin dust and debris out of the airflow at forces up to 100,000g. Because the cyclones do the separating, suction doesn’t sag as the bin loads up.
Filtration is whole-machine and fully sealed, trapping 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns. What goes back into the room is cleaner air, and acoustic felt and closed-cell foam around the motor take the shrill edge off the note.
Forty minutes, three modes and a screen that keeps count
The seven-cell battery runs up to 40 minutes in Eco mode, and it fades evenly instead of falling off a cliff at the end. Auto mode splits the difference for everyday floors. Boost is the short, hard pull for ground-in dirt. That headline suction figure is a Boost number, measured at the inlet, so Eco is where the long runs live.
An LCD screen rides on top, counting down the minutes and calling out filter washes and blockages before they become problems. It shows the mode at a glance too, so you never wonder mid-clean whether you’re sipping power in Eco or spending it in Boost. No app, no guessing, no digging through settings.
The battery clicks out without a single screw, so a spare pack doubles your range on big days. A full charge takes 3.5 hours, and the wall dock keeps the machine topped up between runs.
It comes off the wand and goes anywhere
Pull the wand and the V9 turns into a handheld for stairs, upholstery and the car. The mini motorized tool concentrates the brush bar into a smaller head that works mattresses and stair treads. The hair screw tool spirals long hair into the bin without wrapping. And the crevice tool handles the gaps between cushions and the dust lines along baseboards. Stairs stop being a two-handed job. At 4.6 pounds, it carries anywhere.
In the box: the wall dock, the charger, the crevice tool, the mini motorized tool and the hair screw tool, and the dock stores the attachments between cleans. The bin holds 0.35 liters and empties with a point-and-shoot push that drives the dirt down into the trash, hands nowhere near it.

The trade is plain: 40 minutes and a small bin, in exchange for 4.6 pounds and suction that holds its line. At $599.99, that trade asked a lot. At $269.98, the V9 Motorbar is the easiest machine in Dyson’s line to justify.
