Not much, but generally the V-series variants use the exact same motor / body, with just different attachments. Usually allergy versions mean they have a HEPA filter + an accessory set similar to the Animal version.
Would you kindly clarify the recommendation to purchase the soft roller head? I looked at accessories for Dyson Canada and could not find them. Does it go by another name? Thank you for your help.
You demonstrated that while on extremely low pile rugs the v 7 roller head stopped spinning . In my opinion that us not an issue or a negative point at all . The floor mat / low pile rug was getting pulled up because it's a thin lightweight rug that is not in any way adhered to the floor ( like with a rug pad rug stickers etc ) and the roller head did not stop , it paused , because the vacuum wasnt sucking up air when the carpet was covering/ plugging it up . If the roller head did Not slow down or stop momentarily when that happened , ur rug would be shredded .. I know from experience with cheaper rugs and cheaper vacuums :( . But that is just my experience and personal opinion.
I agree (for the most part). I'm not sure it's really a negative either, however, after I saw this happen I felt like it needed to make my viewers aware for the sake of transparency. That way, everyone can judge if it's important to them or not. As far as how other vacuums handle this type of rug...Dyson's V6, V7, and V8 all had the same issue...stopping the spinning. Other similarly priced and budget vacuums we've tested experience the same. However, high end cordless vacuums, including the Dyson V10 and V11 do not have this issue. And at least on this rug did not damage it. They were able to keep spinning, despite the increased friction of the rug.
Thank you for the comparison! Something seems off about battery life tho. V10 has an extra lower power setting, while V7 has normal and high. How does battery life compares at the "Normal" setting on both? Or does "low" power setting on V10 provides same power as V7? If that's the case than V10 definitely wins as far as battery life goes. I think biggest advantage is dust bin size, as I found out biggest problem with these cordless vacuums is how fast bin fills up and has to be constantly emptied
I suppose they are all worthy of consideration, but for me I would opt for the V10 Absolute. I don't like that the V10 Motorhead has the older direct drive brushroll. As far as I can tell, Total Clean is the same issue...it has the direct drive brushroll, which is the older style from the V7 / V8. Absolute has the higher performance cleaning heads and the soft roller head. It's the obvious pick, in my view.
Yeah...that's a fair point. We try to be really consistent with how we test, so our tests are comparable between different models / brands. Dyson is a rare event where most of their higher end / more recent models are 99%+. Very few vacuums we've tested score anywhere near this well. While we didn't test them at a more rapid fire movement, I'm still confident that the cleaning scores on the V7, 8, 10, and 11 would be similar at most any speed.

Do you know anything about the v10 allergy? Is it similar to the other v10s?

5:43 You forgot about enhanced filtration on the Dyson V10
Very thorough and informative comparison
Thank you!

Would you consider the V10 Motorhead, Absolute, or Total clean?
I suppose they are all worthy of consideration, but for me I would opt for the V10 Absolute.
I don't like that the V10 Motorhead has the older direct drive brushroll.

If you're splitting hairs about 99.x% cleanup, why don't you just push them faster? Perhaps normal human vacuuming speed.

Why do Americans talk through their noses 😩😂
I don't think it's all of us, but certainly me. You'll have to ask my mom and dad and the terrible genetics they passed down.
