Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner-Purple, 71 x 27 x 15 cm, 350 W, 0.76 liters, 40 Decibeles

Product Information

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. Thankfully, the Absolute+ model we tested had the attachment tools for every one of these scenarios. Find out how cordless vacuums measure up to traditional vacuum cleaners. We explain the pros and cons of cord-free cleaning. Direct, powerful suction on both carpets and hard floors. Hair de-tangling Motorbar™ clears long hair and pet hair from the brush bar as you clean.

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.

Say goodbye to corded vacuums forever

I have a shark cordless as well, and in my opinion any dyson wins hands down. We’ve had numerous vacuums over the years and dyson are my favourite. We usually go for the Animal version simply because we hav e dogs.

Following the trend it started with the V8, Dyson has banished attachment release buttons from the V10, opting to place them on the accessories themselves. That’s because the Dyson Cyclone V10 is still a very effective vacuum cleaner. In fact, it’s considerably more effective than the company’s V8 cordless with a more powerful motor, and it’s only slightly less powerful than the new V11. 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. This one's particularly useful for when you want to vacuum inside confined spaces, like the interior of a car. The first thing you'll notice is that its various sections are positioned in completely different manner to previous V-series models. I have a mid-size 2 bedroom flat and with the power on 2, I can do the whole flat with plenty of charge still left on the battery. The tools/attachments are easy to attach/detatch and the bin emptying is very easy.

Still a great cordless despite the introduction of the new V11, the Dyson Cyclone V10 is a fantastic vacuum cleaner

Since our initial review of the V10 was published, it’s been a big hit but Dyson has now released its successor – the Dyson Cyclone V11 – and it’s even better than the V10.

tested to EN 60312-1 CL5.8 and CL5.9 at the flexible inlet, against cord-free market, loaded to bin full, tested in MAX mode.

Next-day scheduled delivery may not be available during peak times. Instead, you can choose the next available slot. We apologise for any inconvenience. You know that added power we were talking about earlier? We weren't kidding — the Dyson Cyclone V10 is as powerful as any corded vacuum the company has released so far. The V10 also boasts a 40% larger bin capacity than the V8, with a redesigned 'point and shoot' emptying mechanism that makes it so much easier to transfer dust and rubbish directly into a trash receptacle or plastic bag. That said, such technological advancement comes with a hefty price tag, and it's likely that the V10 will be a tad too expensive for many potential buyers.

The fully sealed filtration system traps 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns and expels cleaner air. ² Generally, the Dyson Cyclone V10 is a big improvement over the V8 but there is one negative: it’s heavier. Not by much, but it’s noticeable if you’re cleaning more than one room in one go. The V10’s improved head design does mitigate this somewhat, though. Dyson Cyclone V10 review: VerdictWe love this vacuum, This is the latest in a line of Dyson units that we've had over the years and we are truly amazed at how good this one is. The suction on low is more than adequate to clean up the every day mess from the cat fur and it gives a really useful run time. There have been a couple of occasions where we've used the higher settings and they really do the job. So far we've been able to do the whole house on one charge at low power and for that we are really pleased. The weight is a bit more than we expected but when you get tools connected it balances out just right and is not too much of a strain on the old arthritis. The price we paid was excellent and yes we know it's recon but you couldn't really tell, the recon job had been done very well. All the units in the box were in perfect condition and the battery only took an hour before it was ready to go. Emptying the bin is by far the best we've had and the mess slips easily into the waiting receptacle with no dust flooding out after the pet hair. We have bought some replacement filters as in past experience you are better off leaving the initial one longer than twenty four hours to dry. We are happy to recommend this V10 as we have all our previous vacuums and I am sure that the V11 is well worth a try as well Read full review
