Product Information

If you want to compare how well this vacuum cleans when the vacuum is full, and empty, then compare the floorboard star rating, with this one. Following advice from other reviewers, I have purchased a spare filter to allow for adequate drying ti me when the filter needs washing. Finally, the US also has an entry-level model in the Dyson Cyclone V10 Motorhead, which shares the V10 Total Clean's red trimmings but comes with fewer attachments. This makes it much easier to detach vacuum heads and extension tubes in one swift movement, though it does mean that all accessories released prior to the V8 will be incompatible. It’s still a big investment, and other manufacturers’ products are generally much cheaper, but there’s no denying that this is a well-designed, powerful cordless vacuum cleaner.

Opening the bin is as simple as pushing down the red release valve under the unit, which slides the whole bin down in the process and expels any contents within. There’s a larger dust ejector handle that feels much less fragile than on the V8 and requires less grunt to open. To test out the suction and cleaning power, I cleaned a small section of carpet first with the V8 and then the V10 to see how much the second pass would pick up. All the units in the box were in perfect condition and the battery only took an hour before it was ready to go.It’s also quieter and slightly less annoying than before, although it does emit a weird “ooom” sound every time you take your finger off the trigger.

He loves gaming, but don't expect him to play with you unless your console is hooked up to a 4K HDR screen and a 7.In the weeks we've had to put V10 through its paces,we've found it to perform incredibly well in pretty much every dry vacuuming scenario —with just a few exceptions. It's (almost) a pleasure to do the vacuuming now - so quick and easy compared to lugging around the heavy, corded machine it's replaced. Other notable attachments include the Mini Motorized Tool, which is great for vacuuming on stairs or upholstery, the pointed Rigid Crevice Tool, which lets you vacuum deep into corners and crevices, and the Flexi Crevice Tool, which features and extendable hose.

Generally, the Dyson Cyclone V10 is a big improvement over the V8 but there is one negative: it’s heavier. The Direct Drive attachment is is the standard vacuum head that you'll likely get the most everyday use out of, though our favorite tool has to be the Soft Roller Cleaner Head, which is capable of picking up bigger pieces of debris like pet kibble, cereal, cat litter and more. It's our opinion that the V10's medium power setting, which will give you around 30 minutes of continuous usage, is the one you'll be using most of the time, with the maximum setting reserved for small vacuuming sessions and those occasions where you have really stubborn dirt trapped in your carpet or rugs.Other improvements include a new rubber heel, which allows you to lean the V10 against the wall without worrying about it slipping sideways. Some batteries maintain their performance right up until the power cuts out, others set off on a gradual decline almost as soon as you start vacuuming. That said, this new stick vacuum isn't cheap —You'll be able to pick up the Dyson V10 in a few different variations, depending on where you're situated: the US and Australia get the deluxe Absolute+ model that comes with a complete set of attachments (and a nifty orange extension tube). No more pulling out a cord, plugging in, dragging round a sausage after me, up stairs and everywhere.

The newly designed direct-drive head, as well as being more powerful than before, also judders less when you pull it back against the nap of the carpet. The Dyson Cyclone V10 has advanced, whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust, expelling cleaner air. It is effective and practical, comes with a decent selection of accessories, and is a better cordless vacuum cleaner than the V8. The first thing you'll notice is that its various sections are positioned in completely different manner to previous V-series models.I then reversed this on another section of nearby carpet, cleaning with the V10, then the V8 to see how the results differed. It has 3 cleaning modes for the right power where you need it, and 30% more suction than the Dyson V8™.
