My main complains from having the V10: -Low Battery life w/ long charging time -Trigger has no guard so it's ridiculously easy to accidentally set it off -Air vent blows directly into face (fortunately the filtration is great)
I have owned a v10 for around 3 months. Despite the negativity on this thread, I find it to be an awesome machine. Relative to a smart phone and given 5+ years longevity, I don't consider the cost all that bad. It does a fabulous job on my 65m2 apartment leaving the floors noticeably cleaner and vacuuming is fun again! For my requirements I can just about clean the entire floor area on a single charge and there is absolutely no battery fade. Admittedly using the carpet attachment drains the battery more quickly, but with 1-2 uses per week this has been a transformation and it is taking less time to get the same result as my previous machine. The only complaint I have is that the filter appears to need a monthly clean, but I understand that's normal for a bagless device. If you have a large house with carpets, however a battery operated machine might not be appropriate.
I decided it was important to update this video with a new, small section on max run time and also a clearer section on V10 vs V8 run-time and power (all data & info originally presented was accurate just so you know). I apologize to those who watched or commented on the video already. I very much appreciate anyone watching my videos and especially those who take the time to comment. Unfortunately I learned that you cannot edit a RUclips video but rather have to replace it, thereby removing everything associated with it. The original video has been up for about 5 days and I thought if I was going to make an edit I better do it soon - this video will be up for several years I suspect. I will try to ensure this doesn’t happen again (at least to the best of my ability!).
I like the way the V10 bin empties, much easier! The red push button is not delicate to use. The weight feels comparable to my V8. Your review seems very anal.
He is. His voice is so soothing. I could fall asleep listening to him. In a good way, not because he is boring. Far from it. I am a bit of a vacuum cleaner addict and am always watching vacuum cleaner reviews. I love my V10 though!
I’m loving this vacuum! It was a big purchase for me but so worth it. It really pulls the dog hair from the furniture and my car. I love The versatility of this vacuum. I can Do my whole house and bring it to the boat and do the whole boat. I was Able to clean the dog hair from my fabric car seats as well.
thanks so much - i have finger problems so the inability to LOCK the power ON positions - I can't hold a button down indefinitely when using, would kill my hands. That was a total deal-breaker. Thanks so much.
actually the battery can be removed by removing 2 small screws and the battery can be swapped out, don't really need screws as the battery is fairly tight enough to stay inserted
Paul Thompson How would you charge the spare battery then? I’m assuming you would just have to have them both charged and then not charge them till they’re both dead?
Don't be stupid. The battery is not right fitting to stay in the machine which is why it has screws to keep it in place. Plus do you actually expect users to fork out £60 for a new battery. I don't think so!
I'm amazed at how passionate the commenters are about their Dysons. I guess if you spend that much you'd have to be? Just got a V8 recently and love it so far. After watching videos like this I decided the slightly improved V10 was not worth the extra money for me and my small house. Again, thanks for the great video!
Your cordless drill doesn’t have a lock does it? The dyson doesn’t for a good reason so if you’re that lazy where pressing a trigger is hard for you then you’ve probably not vacuuming as much as you should be anyway.
@@Alexander_l322 Of course it does. As I say, I have that on most of my power tools. If you don't care about it, that's all right by me, but I want one, so don't patronize me. OK?
Sten Møller I have yet to find any drill that has a trigger lock that I’ve ever bought because they are not great, only good for mixing or using a wire brush attachment. I do care, I own a V10 and it’s great in fact better than any corded vacuum I’ve ever used and it not having a trigger lock makes it even better. Get one or a V11 but don’t expect it to lock on as that is such a dumb idea on drills and cordless vacs but for different reasons. OK?
Sten Møller well actually there is an aftermarket attachment you can buy to add a lock to the trigger but it’s not included in the original design for good reason. Only old people/ people with arthritis may see a benefit but also will see reduced run times. OK?
@@Alexander_l322 I cannot comprehend why you bother to argue. If you read carefully, I say "most of my power tools". The drill is just one. And you don't know how I use my tools. So why do you bother? You be happy without it, I want it. OK? - The End -
I always empty mine in the backyard while standing upwind and that saves a lot of mess and the dead skin, etc. from floating around you in other areas. On occasion I will take my air compressor and give it a good blow out.
This was so amazingly thorough! you saved me $500+ THANK YOU! Do you only do vacuums, or can you also review various steam cleaners/mops? Steam cleaners are expensive so it would be so nice to get a breakdown on some options out there.
The biggest plus of the V10 for me is the canister capacity upgrade. I use my V8 to vacuum my upstairs which is hardwood and carpeted and I have to empty it 3-4 times each session depending on how much hair the dogs have decided to leave behind that day. I have two heavy shedding dog breeds (and a cat that sheds a bit) so the task at hand is a big one sometimes.
Extremely thorough. Thank you. I just bought the V10 (Cyclone Animal) at Target and tried it out today. This is my first Dyson, so I don't have any comparative experience to share. However, I will say that most of the concerns seem minimal too me. I am most surprised by the weight. I thought it would be lighter than it is. But the most SHOCKING thing I learned was how deep and wide my "debris field" was this morning. I did a double take when I saw all of the cat fur in that canister.
I can easily vacuum my house in 20 minutes with this because it's much faster than working with a cord. The battery life is fine for that and I have no need for interchangeable batteries.
Yes thank you for you video and this is still relevant for today's (2022) vacuums. One thing I dislike and wish they would bring back is the dirty canister on the older models. I hate removing the wand before emptying the canister. I just want to grab the vacuum and go. When full I like to just go over the garbage can click it to open. Snap it back and keep vacuuming or hang it up. I vacuum because I have to not because I want to :)
I just received the V10 Animal for a gift in January 2019. The battery is fully charged and now won't work. There are no clogs and I also cleaned the filter. I plug it in with the AC adapter, never use the docking station. Any thoughts??
That's a stupid comment, it's the longest running model. on low which is more than enough suction, it lasts an hour. I use mine on medium and it lasts 26 minutes, enough to do my whole house. 🤦
You have to rethink the way you vacuum your house from a scheduled to an ad hoc approach. Instead of cleaning the entire house in one session, vacuum sections at a time. Depending on the size of your home, you may end up vacuuming 4-6 times a month but I rarely spend more than 10-15 minutes of vacuuming at a time. The ease of use of lightweight, cordless vacuums like Dyson perfectly cater to this method.
@@kahoot9659someone who has 4 dogs and over 10,000 square footage. I employ a maid service every two weeks. In between, it's a daily chore to keep up on the dander and debris from everyday life. So: that's who.
Thank you for this very in-depth description! I have 3 cats and would probably need it on mid-max for much of the time on my carpets. But 5-7 minutes on max is NOT much time and I would have preferred a second battery.
Last week I learned from Dyson’s Helpdesk that they will not guarantee any defects on the machine that were caused by using the V10 for smaller dust, like baking flour or (cold!) ashes. I contacted them because I had found out that I had to clean the filter every two days or sometimes even after one operation when I cleaned the area around our wooden stove. Washing a Dyson filter means having it dry for 24 hours, so I did not find that very convenient for a machine of this price. In the manual however, there is not a single word about the V10 not being suited for cleaning this stuff. Have you heard about this?
Hung P yeah and clever how they designed the new iPhone 8/+/X so if you smash the back glass from a drop, it's a $550 fix because it's not replaceable on its own, great design by Apple...
Great review. Wow, I expected a linear improvement of the v10 over the v8, just like the v8 over the v6. It's not like that at all. Hopefully they go back to keeping it simple with the next iteration.
lol I thought Dyson took down your original video because you criticized it to hard. I agree the battery swap is essential to make this vacuum functional, I know the cordless thing is a selling point but I wish It came with the option to connect it to a power cord. If it came with a power cord option and a swap-able battery this would have been an excellent vacuum.
The whole point of this vacuum is the fact that when in use it's cordless. It enables me to take my cleaning in bite sized chunks effectively. It is an excellent vacuum, is there room for improvement, of course.
jack johnson who says? What evidence do you have or are you just spouting 'your' opinion. Rhetorical question, I already know the answer. As long as I get a good few years out of it, by then I'll probably be after a new one anyway so I will see for myself thanks.
funny you bring that up Jack, that's what I actually ended up buying, I got the Miele C3 Cat & Dog from ebay $350 (I fished around for 2 months) it's amazing just what I needed it's versatile, powerful and light. The extending wand acts like the v10 I can get up to my tallest ceilings and fans, and it's lighter in the hand then the V10. I've tried the V10 Hard2bear, I really wanted to like it but I ended up returning it, it just didn't live up to what I was looking for, I think for an apartment or like you said spot cleaning it works great, but for me as my only vacuum it was just inconvenient not being able to swap the battery when I needed it but needed to wait for a charge. May be the V12 will solve all those issues
Garbage Man that is fair enough, you tried it and it didn't work for you, was battery life your main issue? It just annoys me when people knock something without even trying it, you can't really get a feel of the machine by pushing it for 2 minutes in a shop. It works great for me but I like breaking the cleaning down into bite sized chunks.
oh yes, the battery life is what ruined it for me. I remember i had used up the battery cleaning, docked it, and when into the living room to watch some netflix, I was eating shelled nuts, I ended up spilling the bowl when I got up, I tried in vein to clean with it but it wouldn't power up I was so mad i could smell the carpet starting to burn under my feet lol I think I will buy a used V8 for my workshop I've seen them for as low as $130 on ebay, and I think it will work well for me there
Love my Dyson V6; have one on every floor. Holding the trigger is virtually effortless. I could see for some applications having swappable batteries would be nice, but I rarely run out of battery.
I was initially worried about the run time of the v10 and the battery. In practice, I've never ran out of battery yet and I normally run it with a powerhead on max. I have a 800 sq, 1BR with mixed hard floor and carpet. Even if I owned a house where I might run out of power, I would just plan my cleaning so that I am vacuuming sections of my house at different times, cleaning while charging. The trade off of a handheld is worth it.
How does it go from having a 60-minute runtime to 5-minute runtime just by switching power mode and tool? That seems like too big of a jump. Is the standard mode just that weak or the high power mode that strong?
Lennox1492 Probably money reasons. If something goes wrong with the battery, they want you to have to send the whole machine in for repair ($$$). Or, they would prefer that you buy a more updated model ($$$)
Exactly, they're just following smartphone planned obsolescence with unchangeable batteries. Battery life becomes too short just out for warranty and well before the products expected useful life. Even if they offer a battery replacement program they still make more money from the people who will just go out and buy the next new model. It's a shame because whilst I replaced my old dyson stick, I managed to buy a knock off battery for the old one and gave it to my parents to use in their motorhome, so it's still in use today rather than being discarded like some of these un-replaceable battery models might be.
Your presentations are superior. Organized, exceptional amount of information, clearly and understandably presented. Thank you. Now, lI only have to figure out why my v10 is not charging when placed on the wall charger. After this video, I think I'm leaning to the v8 should I ever need to replace my v10.
The V10 waste cylinder seems to have a diagram demonstrating the emptying process, maybe a close up of what happens if you follow it would prove whether it’s your technique or the release catch design that causes the alleged problem.
I have a chow and a cat and my vacuums wouldn’t last that long without getting clogged up. I just used this device and I’m sold, it’s to easy to use. I like it.
Good informative video, I certainly know more about the models mentioned than I did 11 minutes and 7 seconds ago, I don't quite understand the negative comments. The spec comparison page is also interesting, only "5-6 minutes Run Time, MAX Power, All tools" for the V10, rather disappointing.
I felt I made a wrong decision in getting my first Dyson V10 Absolute Vacuum. I only used it for 5 times throughout my ownership of this vacuum. I use and charge up the battery 1 time every 4 months. My Battery died with a blinking red light on me even if I only use the vacuum at a medium setting and charge the battery of the vacuum after usage. I only use the vacuum for cleaning the ceiling cobwebs as I have another robot vacuum for cleaning the floor. The hype that the battery lifespan lasts a very long time is really an oversell. I found out from a lot of user complaints on the web. I really was disappointed with the vacuum. The low setting is weak, mid was just nice, the high is too strong.
Just bought mine a few days ago. I agree with some of your points. I will say overall I am satisfied however the one issue I had to mention is the lack of a non-powered wide sweep accessory head with the purchase of the device. I want the battery to last a long time so I don't mind using a non powered accessory however my Dyson only comes with the powered wide sweeper head. I had to buy an aftermarket sweep. This accessory should come standard with purchase in my opinion. Just my $ 2 cents.
I like the V6 Fluffy I just picked up for $169 with all sorts of attachments. When Dyson decides to make a cordless with batteries that can be swapped I will buy it to replace my IonFlex that I'm not happy with.
I'm so disappointed with mine. I ordered a refurbished v10 absolute from the Dyson store on ebay, and it came with a bad battery. Their customer service line is down, and they haven't responded back on ebay yet..
Nice review. I wish you had covered the higher pitched noise of the V10 that I have just realized is so annoying on day 2 of ownership. I now wish I had purchased a refurbished V8.
V8 definitely produced a less annoying sound. Pleased as that is the one I got and after seeing this video I no longer want the V10. V8 is good enough until the V12 comes along.
Definitely. Let's just hope they revert back to the pre-V10 design with the container and the opening mechanism because V10 just sucks the way it's made and handled.
Slightly more capactiy and 20 mins more on battery for half the power on the same setting which is needed to hit 60 mins while costing almost twice as much? Sorry but the V10 is overall a sore loser against the V8. Plus, my V8 doesn't sound like a lawnmower raping a chalkboard with spiked blades.
Idontgive Ashit it's a vacuum not your wife...get a grip for Christ sakes. I don't use low I use medium and get all the vacuuming needed finished with battery to spare so it's great for me. You go enjoy your V8, but be safe...
I've mainly been thinking about the V10. but, how does the battery being fixed affect the longevity of the device? I would like it to last if possible.
I've done a few reviews of robotic vacuums. Most recently the iLife A8: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Shark-Vacuums/shark-ion-robot-750-vacuum-review.html and the Shark ION Robot 750: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Shark-Vacuums/shark-ion-robot-750-vacuum-review.html But no robotic vacuum video reviews yet. Hopefully in the near future!
I have the v8 and I prefer the trigger the way it is. I also like the hang up charger and would not want a battery to change out. the fluffy head makes this a great machine and we never use a broom anymore. also we used a large wire basket system on the wall with 3 tiers next to the wall mount v8 for all accessories and other cleaning tools I use for quick grab and easy storage
I do have problems with this design, ergonomically it puts all the weight in the wrong place, ie in your hand instead of on the floor, also it brings the exhaust directly towards the user. and as you say too many of the parts are not easy to use if you have problems with your hands.
I have issues with my wrist and don't find this heavy at all. Exhaust doesn't matter it has a HEPA filter, the air blowing out is cleaner than the air you breathe normally
My question is why is it so hard to push? The shark Rocket just goes and I have to exert actual elbow grease with this vac, unless I'm doing something wrong.☺
The dustbin is fairly straightforward to empty. If you are asking how to take it completely off the vacuum that is quite easy as well. When you open the dustbin (you've pushed the red lever forward and the dustbin door is open) you will notice a small red tab with a white arrow on it just in front of the red lever. If you depress this tab you can then easily pull the entire dust canister assembly off. I hope that answers your question.
Anyone thinking of buying a cordless vacuum needs to compare Dyson offerings with newest products made by AEG and Bosch. The newest product from Bosch ( not the Athlet ) seems good. I reckon the move towards cordless is inspired by the fact that high priced cordless have more profit than lower prices mains powered vacuums. Some cordless vacuums come with two batteries, so no problem if battery goes flat half way through cleaning, you just plug in the second battery.
Any thoughts on the Roidmi F8? I just bought one because I like the way it looks in comparison to the Dyson and it has an app for whatever that is worth. Are you consider doing a review in comparison to the V8/V10?
But which one has better actual sucking power WITHOUT the power head. I use an old dyson stick and having to pick up loose drywall from corners is a pain. It just can’t suck nearly enough and do what a normal vacuum would without the power head.
I returned my V 10 absolute solely due to the inability to maintain power without holding down the trigger. Apples and oranges sure; my Miele is just so much better in many ways! I will say that the Dyson is pretty good but for me, cordless is just not there yet!
+Keith Gillard I'm surprised something like holding down the trigger would bother you. It bothered me before I bought one because I listened to people like you online, but I got used to it very quickly once I purchased it and now i think the trigger is a positive, not a negative. The pressure needed on the trigger is very light indeed so it doesn't bother me pressing it and it saves a lot of battery.
+Adelaide hula hoopers You clearly have not used it because if you had then you would know that the trigger is very light indeed. I have seen someone with arthritis use it with no complaints but people who haven't used it complain.
I just got the v10 for Christmas! Mine makes a weird sound plus a vibration when it’s on and running. I also see a little delay in the torque drive cleaner head when I turn my dyson on, it takes maybe a second for the dyson cleaner head to come on, is that normal? Why is there a vibration when it’s on?does your v10 vibrate when it’s on?
I like your vacuum review video. I helps me in my purchasing decision. I tbink I will get myself a Bosch stick vacuum that comes with 2 batteries and it seems quite good. It is a 2018 model. I have seen it clean and it looks promising to me.
My Dyson battery died in just over two years. This cleaner was not used heavily, and a two-year battery life is VERY disappointing. New batteries are about $90.
JackBN Your battery died because it wasn’t used heavily. Letting a battery sit for too long will result in damage. I constantly have this problem with my RC batteries. On the one hand, I want to stock up so that I’ll have plenty of extra batteries but the lack of use causes them to fail. It’s better to use your batteries regularly to keep them working.
My brother is in a wheelchair, has asthma and allergies, and uses one of these so he doesn't have to deal with the cord. He uses his exclusively and regularly. His batteries died in just over two years.Since the paperwork that comes with the vac said you void the warranty unless you take it to an authorized repair shop, we called and were referred by Dyson to 2 or 3 shops. We took it in, and guess what? The battery and filters are not covered! The HEPA filters and seals don't last forever either. The filters, battery, seals and whatever else the shop did cost my handicapped veteran brother over $200 bucks that was not covered under the warranty Dysons are POS!! So if you take the original cost and this repair that vac is costing him $27 a month just to have the privilege of using it! On the other hand, I bought an Oreck approximately a year before he got this POS Dyson and the Oreck costs about $8 per month, including purchase price, bags and maintenance. Big difference that adds up over time -- approximately 200 bucks a year (or a grand in five years, if the POS Dyson even lasts that long) that I'm sure will get much more, cuz there's no doubt in my mind that the Oreck will last years longer -- I took my old Oreck which is now 20 years old to our beach house and it's still going strong. So there's no doubt in my mind that over the years, there will be an even bigger difference!
Does the new v11 allow you to swap the battery or lock the trigger so it keeps running without holding ? Almost a 1 lb heavier over the v10 though 😬 Ouch
I've actually got a DC59 Animal. Did a review some years back. The DC59 and V10 are both Dyson cordless stick vacs but there are a number of significant differences between the two.
I bought a v10 about 1 and 1/2 years ago. it came with a stand to hold the attachments and to charge it. last week the clear plastic dust bin broke and now it comes completely off and lands in the garbage can. have contacted Dyson via email but have not heard from them. this is definitely a design flaw!! I have taken very good care of this vacuum and clean it every time I use it. From what I have researched I am not the only one with this problem. also read that the v11supposedly has larger tab on bin to keep this from happening. Also read that the V10 docking station cannot be used with the v11 because motor head is a different shape. I like my docking station so will never by V11. Called Dyson a few minutes ago and they told me I would have to have the entire motor head replaced, not just the bin. They told me where to take it and they would give me a new one minus the tools. We will see what happens. Will let you know. UPDATE: CALLED THE DYSON REPAIR PLACE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WAS A REPLACEMENT CLEAR DUST BIN. WOULD ONLY NEED THAT REPLACED AND NOT ENTIRE MOTÖRHEAD. TOOK ME A FEW DAYS TO GET TO REPAIR PLACE(WAS AN HOURS DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE) BECAUSE OF LOTS OF RAIN IN MY AREA. WENT THERE LAST WEDNESDAY AND THE REPAIRMAN PUT A NEW DUST BIN ON RIGHT AWAY. THEY HAD LOTS OF VACUUMS IN THERE BEING WORKED ON AND 2 REPAIRMEN. GLAD I DID NOT HAVE TO LEAVE IT AND MAKE ANOTHER TRIP OVER THERE. WORKS GREAT. VERY SATISFIED. LOVE MY V10 STICK CORDLESS VACUUM. LIKE IT SO MUCH I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE FROM HSN THAT WAS ON SALE AND FREE SHIPPING. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT GREAT!
Dead easy way around this for anyone with any skills. Just open the machine up and drop a few wires down from the battery contacts inside the hoover. Then wire on your own choice of connectors {spades, Andersons, etc} and hook up a 22v battery that you made up from round cells or like one of those lawnmower batteries. I did this for myself with a brand new V10 Absolute.

But the most SHOCKING thing I learned was how deep and wide my "debris field" was this morning. I did a double take when I saw all of the cat fur in that canister.
That happens with almost all new vacs.
I can easily vacuum my house in 20 minutes with this because it's much faster than working with a cord. The battery life is fine for that and I have no need for interchangeable batteries.
Exactly. People acting like they gonna vacuum shit for hours.
Great video. Very professional and informative.
What happened to the V9?
Yes thank you for you video and this is still relevant for today's (2022) vacuums. One thing I dislike and wish they would bring back is the dirty canister on the older models. I hate removing the wand before emptying the canister. I just want to grab the vacuum and go. When full I like to just go over the garbage can click it to open. Snap it back and keep vacuuming or hang it up. I vacuum because I have to not because I want to :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
It was very concise and informative.
👍👍👍
Glad you found it helpful.
Could you please do a comparison between the new LG A9 and the Dyson V10?
I just received the V10 Animal for a gift in January 2019. The battery is fully charged and now won't work. There are no clogs and I also cleaned the filter. I plug it in with the AC adapter, never use the docking station. Any thoughts??
In which brands can the user take the battery off (when discharged) and place a charged battery so he can continue?
giorgos gen shark ion
Bosch.
Thanks guys, but im wondering, is there absolutelly no way to make a battery replacement on the V8? Or is it just hard to do so?
Was thinking of getting the v10 but honestly the run time is disappointing and so is the price.
That's a stupid comment, it's the longest running model. on low which is more than enough suction, it lasts an hour. I use mine on medium and it lasts 26 minutes, enough to do my whole house. 🤦
You have to rethink the way you vacuum your house from a scheduled to an ad hoc approach. Instead of cleaning the entire house in one session, vacuum sections at a time. Depending on the size of your home, you may end up vacuuming 4-6 times a month but I rarely spend more than 10-15 minutes of vacuuming at a time. The ease of use of lightweight, cordless vacuums like Dyson perfectly cater to this method.
It's a premium product meant for successful people, it has no place at your trailer park

@Sergio Guerrero
Really? What do you plan on vacuuming?? Carnegie Hall???
Thank you for this very in-depth description! I have 3 cats and would probably need it on mid-max for much of the time on my carpets. But 5-7 minutes on max is NOT much time and I would have preferred a second battery.
Last week I learned from Dyson’s Helpdesk that they will not guarantee any defects on the machine that were caused by using the V10 for smaller dust, like baking flour or (cold!) ashes. I contacted them because I had found out that I had to clean the filter every two days or sometimes even after one operation when I cleaned the area around our wooden stove. Washing a Dyson filter means having it dry for 24 hours, so I did not find that very convenient for a machine of this price. In the manual however, there is not a single word about the V10 not being suited for cleaning this stuff. Have you heard about this?
I think all vacs that use the HEPA washable filters have this.
What, you think the apple of vacuums will let you swap batteries lol :)
the older cordless dysons use to have hot swappable batteries but they took that feature off.
At least apple products are made to last and their products are put to a high standard, not like the scammy dyson vaccum
I just hope Apple makes a better vaccum so that Dyson can go out of business lol. Apple products are always at a higher standard.
Hung P and yet Apple employees and the top ones all love Dyson and share their new products btw themselves!
Hung P yeah and clever how they designed the new iPhone 8/+/X so if you smash the back glass from a drop, it's a $550 fix because it's not replaceable on its own, great design by Apple...
Is the v10 more powerful at suction than the stand-up models?
Great reviews honest and easy to listen too
Thanks Rafe
Great review. Wow, I expected a linear improvement of the v10 over the v8, just like the v8 over the v6. It's not like that at all. Hopefully they go back to keeping it simple with the next iteration.
Great video.
Now im probaly going with Bosch Unlimited BBS1224 instead.
Good choice!
Hi, did you purchase Bosch Unlimited at the end? If so are you happy with it?
@@TheGuilietta No, i ended up with a Elextrolux Pure 9 i think its called, not happy with it.
Not sure if your mentioned this, but "floor lighting". Having a light is a game changer..
lol I thought Dyson took down your original video because you criticized it to hard. I agree the battery swap is essential to make this vacuum functional, I know the cordless thing is a selling point but I wish It came with the option to connect it to a power cord. If it came with a power cord option and a swap-able battery this would have been an excellent vacuum.
The whole point of this vacuum is the fact that when in use it's cordless. It enables me to take my cleaning in bite sized chunks effectively. It is an excellent vacuum, is there room for improvement, of course.
jack johnson who says? What evidence do you have or are you just spouting 'your' opinion. Rhetorical question, I already know the answer. As long as I get a good few years out of it, by then I'll probably be after a new one anyway so I will see for myself thanks.
funny you bring that up Jack, that's what I actually ended up buying, I got the Miele C3 Cat & Dog from ebay $350 (I fished around for 2 months) it's amazing just what I needed it's versatile, powerful and light. The extending wand acts like the v10 I can get up to my tallest ceilings and fans, and it's lighter in the hand then the V10. I've tried the V10 Hard2bear, I really wanted to like it but I ended up returning it, it just didn't live up to what I was looking for, I think for an apartment or like you said spot cleaning it works great, but for me as my only vacuum it was just inconvenient not being able to swap the battery when I needed it but needed to wait for a charge. May be the V12 will solve all those issues
Garbage Man that is fair enough, you tried it and it didn't work for you, was battery life your main issue? It just annoys me when people knock something without even trying it, you can't really get a feel of the machine by pushing it for 2 minutes in a shop. It works great for me but I like breaking the cleaning down into bite sized chunks.
oh yes, the battery life is what ruined it for me. I remember i had used up the battery cleaning, docked it, and when into the living room to watch some netflix, I was eating shelled nuts, I ended up spilling the bowl when I got up, I tried in vein to clean with it but it wouldn't power up I was so mad i could smell the carpet starting to burn under my feet lol I think I will buy a used V8 for my workshop I've seen them for as low as $130 on ebay, and I think it will work well for me there
You can take battery out. Just unscrew a few screws.
shouldnt have to remove screws, should have designed it better
You will also void your warranty if you mess with it. Good tip for changing the battery when the machine is out of warranty
I think you need to do asmr video such a relaxing voice man.
Love my Dyson V6; have one on every floor. Holding the trigger is virtually effortless. I could see for some applications having swappable batteries would be nice, but I rarely run out of battery.
I like the V10 but use my Miele canister long hose for dusting. The V10 is great for floors.
I was initially worried about the run time of the v10 and the battery. In practice, I've never ran out of battery yet and I normally run it with a powerhead on max. I have a 800 sq, 1BR with mixed hard floor and carpet. Even if I owned a house where I might run out of power, I would just plan my cleaning so that I am vacuuming sections of my house at different times, cleaning while charging. The trade off of a handheld is worth it.
YES!!!
How does it go from having a 60-minute runtime to 5-minute runtime just by switching power mode and tool? That seems like too big of a jump. Is the standard mode just that weak or the high power mode that strong?
Thanks for the video... I never liked Dyson vacuums anyway. You just sealed it, dude... I am getting either LG Cordzero a9 or Samsung Jets.
I dont know why dyson stopped letting the battery eject. I have an old DC35 and it had the option .
Lennox1492 Probably money reasons. If something goes wrong with the battery, they want you to have to send the whole machine in for repair ($$$). Or, they would prefer that you buy a more updated model ($$$)
Exactly, they're just following smartphone planned obsolescence with unchangeable batteries. Battery life becomes too short just out for warranty and well before the products expected useful life. Even if they offer a battery replacement program they still make more money from the people who will just go out and buy the next new model.
It's a shame because whilst I replaced my old dyson stick, I managed to buy a knock off battery for the old one and gave it to my parents to use in their motorhome, so it's still in use today rather than being discarded like some of these un-replaceable battery models might be.
can swap V8 battery, 3 phillips screws, EZPZ 30secs, I bought a 6000mah v8 batry aliexpress,$59. runs 10min longer than OEM batry
Your presentations are superior. Organized, exceptional amount of information, clearly and understandably presented. Thank you. Now, lI only have to figure out why my v10 is not charging when placed on the wall charger. After this video, I think I'm leaning to the v8 should I ever need to replace my v10.
The V10 waste cylinder seems to have a diagram demonstrating the emptying process, maybe a close up of what happens if you follow it would prove whether it’s your technique or the release catch design that causes the alleged problem.
Thanks for the reviews. I about to buy .
I have a chow and a cat and my vacuums wouldn’t last that long without getting clogged up. I just used this device and I’m sold, it’s to easy to use. I like it.
Good informative video, I certainly know more about the models mentioned than I did 11 minutes and 7 seconds ago, I don't quite understand the negative comments. The spec comparison page is
also interesting, only "5-6 minutes Run Time, MAX Power, All tools" for the V10, rather disappointing.
I felt I made a wrong decision in getting my first Dyson V10 Absolute Vacuum. I only used it for 5 times throughout my ownership of this vacuum. I use and charge up the battery 1 time every 4 months. My Battery died with a blinking red light on me even if I only use the vacuum at a medium setting and charge the battery of the vacuum after usage. I only use the vacuum for cleaning the ceiling cobwebs as I have another robot vacuum for cleaning the floor. The hype that the battery lifespan lasts a very long time is really an oversell. I found out from a lot of user complaints on the web. I really was disappointed with the vacuum. The low setting is weak, mid was just nice, the high is too strong.
Thank you very much for the videos!
3 screws and the v10 battery comes out easily... what seems to be the issue?
I don’t understand why you woul need a locking on / off switch
Why would you want it to run if you weren’t holding it ?
Just bought mine a few days ago. I agree with some of your points. I will say overall I am satisfied however the one issue I had to mention is the lack of a non-powered wide sweep accessory head with the purchase of the device. I want the battery to last a long time so I don't mind using a non powered accessory however my Dyson only comes with the powered wide sweeper head. I had to buy an aftermarket sweep. This accessory should come standard with purchase in my opinion. Just my $ 2 cents.
great product review thank you!
Looks like the V8 performed better.
I like the V6 Fluffy I just picked up for $169 with all sorts of attachments. When Dyson decides to make a cordless with batteries that can be swapped I will buy it to replace my IonFlex that I'm not happy with.
I'm so disappointed with mine. I ordered a refurbished v10 absolute from the Dyson store on ebay, and it came with a bad battery. Their customer service line is down, and they haven't responded back on ebay yet..
Nice review. I wish you had covered the higher pitched noise of the V10 that I have just realized is so annoying on day 2 of ownership. I now wish I had purchased a refurbished V8.
Did anyone else get headaches from that screeching sound of the V10? V8 owner here, really not sure if I should sell and upgrade to a V10.
V8 definitely produced a less annoying sound. Pleased as that is the one I got and after seeing this video I no longer want the V10. V8 is good enough until the V12 comes along.
Definitely. Let's just hope they revert back to the pre-V10 design with the container and the opening mechanism because V10 just sucks the way it's made and handled.
Idontgive Ashit how so? The bin empties fine, okay it's a bit longer than the V8 and V6 but for this you get a bigger bin capacity.
Slightly more capactiy and 20 mins more on battery for half the power on the same setting which is needed to hit 60 mins while costing almost twice as much? Sorry but the V10 is overall a sore loser against the V8.
Plus, my V8 doesn't sound like a lawnmower raping a chalkboard with spiked blades.
Idontgive Ashit it's a vacuum not your wife...get a grip for Christ sakes. I don't use low I use medium and get all the vacuuming needed finished with battery to spare so it's great for me. You go enjoy your V8, but be safe...
I've mainly been thinking about the V10. but, how does the battery being fixed affect the longevity of the device? I would like it to last if possible.
Excellent video which made me decide to stick with my V6.
Can you not change the length of the tube?
If you mean the length of the wand then no unfortunately you cannot.
I’m so confused with all these dyson s they pump them out like I phones lol which dyson cordless is the most powerful even old models?
Hey, thank you very much for the video. Didn't know that there are also experts in this topic. ;-) Have you also tested vacuum cleaner robots?
I've done a few reviews of robotic vacuums. Most recently the iLife A8:
vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Shark-Vacuums/shark-ion-robot-750-vacuum-review.html
and the Shark ION Robot 750:
vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Shark-Vacuums/shark-ion-robot-750-vacuum-review.html
But no robotic vacuum video reviews yet. Hopefully in the near future!
I just complained to Dyson I cant open the canister sometimes. I have RA . The red button seems stuck alot.
Yes - ours is sticky too. I haven't noticed this issue with the V11. Perhaps they made some changes.
@@VacuumAdvisor I certainly hope so. I cleaned mine after watching the video.
I have the v8 and I prefer the trigger the way it is. I also like the hang up charger and would not want a battery to change out. the fluffy head makes this a great machine and we never use a broom anymore. also we used a large wire basket system on the wall with 3 tiers next to the wall mount v8 for all accessories and other cleaning tools I use for quick grab and easy storage
just means after the 10 mins runtime you have to charge it for hours before you can use it again! sounds crap
I do have problems with this design, ergonomically it puts all the weight in the wrong place, ie in your hand instead of on the floor, also it brings the exhaust directly towards the user. and as you say too many of the parts are not easy to use if you have problems with your hands.
I have issues with my wrist and don't find this heavy at all. Exhaust doesn't matter it has a HEPA filter, the air blowing out is cleaner than the air you breathe normally
@@martiangod It blows the curtains and when on Max it blows stuff over! I find it annoying when it does that.
My question is why is it so hard to push? The shark Rocket just goes and I have to exert actual elbow grease with this vac, unless I'm doing something wrong.☺
Because Dyson has always made overpriced POS vacs!
So how do you clean out the dustbin if it stays on the vaccum?
The dustbin is fairly straightforward to empty. If you are asking how to take it completely off the vacuum that is quite easy as well. When you open the dustbin (you've pushed the red lever forward and the dustbin door is open) you will notice a small red tab with a white arrow on it just in front of the red lever. If you depress this tab you can then easily pull the entire dust canister assembly off. I hope that answers your question.
I just found you! Which soft roller head do you like better, the one on the V8 absolute or the V10 absolute soft roller head?
Anyone thinking of buying a cordless vacuum needs to compare Dyson offerings with newest products made by AEG and Bosch. The newest product from Bosch ( not the Athlet ) seems good. I reckon the move towards cordless is inspired by the fact that high priced cordless have more profit than lower prices mains powered vacuums. Some cordless vacuums come with two batteries, so no problem if battery goes flat half way through cleaning, you just plug in the second battery.
Any thoughts on the Roidmi F8? I just bought one because I like the way it looks in comparison to the Dyson and it has an app for whatever that is worth. Are you consider doing a review in comparison to the V8/V10?
Very informative but definitely subscribing for the cool dad vibes 😎
Thanks for the comparable review! 👍
What about Extendable wand
Good videos . Very thorough.
Great review! Helped us a lot
But which one has better actual sucking power WITHOUT the power head. I use an old dyson stick and having to pick up loose drywall from corners is a pain. It just can’t suck nearly enough and do what a normal vacuum would without the power head.
I returned my V 10 absolute solely due to the inability to maintain power without holding down the trigger. Apples and oranges sure; my Miele is just so much better in many ways! I will say that the Dyson is pretty good but for me, cordless is just not there yet!
keith Gillard I am betting that those with arthritic hands would love a lock down trigger
+Keith Gillard I'm surprised something like holding down the trigger would bother you. It bothered me before I bought one because I listened to people like you online, but I got used to it very quickly once I purchased it and now i think the trigger is a positive, not a negative. The pressure needed on the trigger is very light indeed so it doesn't bother me pressing it and it saves a lot of battery.
+Adelaide hula hoopers You clearly have not used it because if you had then you would know that the trigger is very light indeed. I have seen someone with arthritis use it with no complaints but people who haven't used it complain.
My condolences on your evident disability. I hope it isn't MLS.
Candysmom69 my condolences to your purse ma’am! Because you been fucking rip off! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I just got the v10 for Christmas! Mine makes a weird sound plus a vibration when it’s on and running. I also see a little delay in the torque drive cleaner head when I turn my dyson on, it takes maybe a second for the dyson cleaner head to come on, is that normal? Why is there a vibration when it’s on?does your v10 vibrate when it’s on?
Yep. They're POS!
Karen Pierce I absolutely love mine! Just wish it didn’t vibrate so much!
So, Which one canI get V8 or V10? I have hardwood floors, tiles, and a dog who sheds a lot of hair!!!
Hi Sheila. You may want to check out my video comparing the V8 to the V10: ruclips.net/video/xKgTDGnbhj0/видео.html
VacuumAdvisor Perfect, I will. Thank you
I like your vacuum review video. I helps me in my purchasing decision. I tbink I will get myself a Bosch stick vacuum that comes with 2 batteries and it seems quite good. It is a 2018 model. I have seen it clean and it looks promising to me.
takashi69z Did you get the Bosch? If so how is it?
Could the next Dyson have a spare battery to replace?
Great video. Nicely explained, informative and to the point. Makes me glad i got a V8 on offer :-)
My Dyson battery died in just over two years. This cleaner was not used heavily, and a two-year battery life is VERY disappointing.
New batteries are about $90.
JackBN Your battery died because it wasn’t used heavily. Letting a battery sit for too long will result in damage. I constantly have this problem with my RC batteries. On the one hand, I want to stock up so that I’ll have plenty of extra batteries but the lack of use causes them to fail. It’s better to use your batteries regularly to keep them working.
I'd be more than happy with 2 years from a lipo battery used daily, you can get the batteries cheap on ebay
Did you keep it on charge the whole time as recommended?
My brother is in a wheelchair, has asthma and allergies, and uses one of these so he doesn't have to deal with the cord. He uses his exclusively and regularly. His batteries died in just over two years.Since the paperwork that comes with the vac said you void the warranty unless you take it to an authorized repair shop, we called and were referred by Dyson to 2 or 3 shops. We took it in, and guess what? The battery and filters are not covered! The HEPA filters and seals don't last forever either. The filters, battery, seals and whatever else the shop did cost my handicapped veteran brother over $200 bucks that was not covered under the warranty Dysons are POS!! So if you take the original cost and this repair that vac is costing him $27 a month just to have the privilege of using it! On the other hand, I bought an Oreck approximately a year before he got this POS Dyson and the Oreck costs about $8 per month, including purchase price, bags and maintenance. Big difference that adds up over time -- approximately 200 bucks a year (or a grand in five years, if the POS Dyson even lasts that long) that I'm sure will get much more, cuz there's no doubt in my mind that the Oreck will last years longer -- I took my old Oreck which is now 20 years old to our beach house and it's still going strong. So there's no doubt in my mind that over the years, there will be an even bigger difference!
Karen Pierce there is never waranty for batteries.
Very interesting and helpful. Thanks.
Hey Bulwul. Glad you found it helpful.
Please do a review of the Roidmi F8 please, with maybe a comparison with the Dysons. Thanks!
How long does the v10 take to charge?
To charge a fully depleted battery takes about 3.5 hrs
Does the new v11 allow you to swap the battery or lock the trigger so it keeps running without holding ? Almost a 1 lb heavier over the v10 though 😬 Ouch
Nope - the V11 still doesn't allow you to swap out the battery or lock the trigger in place.
😔 not good . Just found out no soft brush either adds another 100.00 if you want more just to much money if you ask me thank you
Any chance youd be willing to give and or sell the v8???
Is the v10 the same as a DC59?
I've actually got a DC59 Animal. Did a review some years back. The DC59 and V10 are both Dyson cordless stick vacs but there are a number of significant differences between the two.
Have u tried roidmi F8 ?please make the video about it.
I bought a v10 about 1 and 1/2 years ago. it came with a stand to hold the attachments and to charge it. last week the clear plastic dust bin broke and now it comes completely off and lands in the garbage can. have contacted Dyson via email but have not heard from them. this is definitely a design flaw!! I have taken very good care of this vacuum and clean it every time I use it. From what I have researched I am not the only one with this problem. also read that the v11supposedly has larger tab on bin to keep this from happening. Also read that the V10 docking station cannot be used with the v11 because motor head is a different shape. I like my docking station so will never by V11. Called Dyson a few minutes ago and they told me I would have to have the entire motor head replaced, not just the bin. They told me where to take it and they would give me a new one minus the tools. We will see what happens. Will let you know.
UPDATE: CALLED THE DYSON REPAIR PLACE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WAS A REPLACEMENT CLEAR DUST BIN. WOULD ONLY NEED THAT REPLACED AND NOT ENTIRE MOTÖRHEAD. TOOK ME A FEW DAYS TO GET TO REPAIR PLACE(WAS AN HOURS DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE) BECAUSE OF LOTS OF RAIN IN MY AREA. WENT THERE LAST WEDNESDAY AND THE REPAIRMAN PUT A NEW DUST BIN ON RIGHT AWAY. THEY HAD LOTS OF VACUUMS IN THERE BEING WORKED ON AND 2 REPAIRMEN. GLAD I DID NOT HAVE TO LEAVE IT AND MAKE ANOTHER TRIP OVER THERE. WORKS GREAT. VERY SATISFIED. LOVE MY V10 STICK CORDLESS VACUUM. LIKE IT SO MUCH I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE FROM HSN THAT WAS ON SALE AND FREE SHIPPING. EVERYTHING TURNED OUT GREAT!
Thank you for posting this, so helpful. I wish I had seen this, I had only watched the one on dyson.
Excellent review.
Thanks Bassman
Dead easy way around this for anyone with any skills. Just open the machine up and drop a few wires down from the battery contacts inside the hoover. Then wire on your own choice of connectors {spades, Andersons, etc} and hook up a 22v battery that you made up from round cells or like one of those lawnmower batteries. I did this for myself with a brand new V10 Absolute.
I have the v8 and was going to invest in the v10. You just made up my mind that it is not worth the investment in my opinion
