A came across your channel a couple of weeks ago to come to a decision on upgrading my dyson DC44 to a new cordless, I went with the V8 didn't think the price difference between that and the V10 was worth the improvements. The thing is I still find myself watching your videos, excited when a new one drops, let me say that again, I'm excited to watch a new video about vacuum cleaners. That is a testament to the high quality to your reviews, I just hope I'm not near people when they talk about vacuum cleaners because the knowledge I'll drop on them will have them question what I do with my free time.
That is awesome to hear. Thanks! I tend to think of it as keeping up with some tech news as well. New inventions and improvements seem to be coming out daily, especially with the big players.
Just stumbled on this channel & seeing that I just recently bought my 3rd cordless vac, (the 2nd one I returned) thought I'd see what you had to say about them. Well, I learned from my experience, that one of the things to consider is the ease of removing the roller brush in order to remove the tangled hair. It was one of the main reasons I returned the 2nd vac I bought. It had to be unscrewed in order to get to the roller brush & they had those tiny screws which seem to always get mashed in with the slightest pressure. Of course it was one of the low end models by Hoover. But after coming off a low end model by Bissell which was very easy to take apart & reassemble, I knew it was a mistake to get that one & so I returned it to Costco. Weight & storage are other things to consider, as is charging time and as another commenter said, the ease to clean out the bin. I am now using another mid to low end cordless, the Hoover Fusion, & so far it is the best performer out of my previous ones. It charges faster, easy to disassemble & reassemble, has 3 modes, attachments, and you could clean the bin without getting the dirty dust everywhere by just placing a plastic bag over the release. The only thing I don't like about this one & the previous Hoover that I returned, is that they are made to be hung on the wall for storage as they don't stand up on their own. I currently just keep mine propped up by having it lean on my other 'stuff' in my broom, mop, area. I find those Dyson vacs too bulky, heavy & unattractive for my taste & too expensive for my budget. In any case, enjoyed the review of cordless vac & will continue to watch.
Don't care much about vacuum cleaners but this review style was great, just nailing us with information. If I could find car videos like this I'd watch all the time, exactly what I wanted to know fed to me in digestible form. Great stuff.
Mate, that was a solid review video! The amount of reviews I’ve seen of the Dyson where they have just left the carpet head on and not used the hard floor head is ridiculous.. the smoke machine was a terrific touch!
I love my shark vacuum. I broke my vacuum and called shark to request the part I needed. The company told me that they would replace the vacuum at no charge. I was so pleased with their customer service that I tell everyone about how much I love that vacuum. The duo is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone.
Getting a vacuum and carpet cleaner soon. I'm so happy you were recommended to me. Also like the videos are pretty short. Kinda hate when videos are like 20+ mins with a bunch of talking. You get straight to the point. Love this totally subscribed. Thanks!!
One of the best videos I've seen that explains the multitude of complexities and caveats when it comes to choosing a vacuum! Especially highlighting the sealed filtration systems. The only other 2 tests I would suggest is the flour/white powder on a smooth black hardfloor to demonstrate 'polishing' performance on things like tiled floors, and the 2nd test being the ability to pick up dust between floorboards, so like a 'crevice' test - as I'd be interested in both! But amazing work again. I also wonder which vacuum can clean closest to the wall? Seems to be a big 'strip' of untouched dust on the shark on it's left hand side.
Thanks so much. I forgot to show the crevice pickup tests in this video but they are in the individual reviews. Good Idea about the black surface test. I think I might make a trip to Home Depot to see what they have. Again Thanks!
i bought dyson v8 for a month ago and i loooooove it! my house has 3 floors so its much easier to vacume the stairs now. thank u dyson for this perfect vacume❤️❤️❤️
never thought i'd be so grateful for a video about vacuums been shopping for something ideally for my carpet and can't find anything but these extremely biased reviews obviously paid to sell me something this was a refreshing change of pace , thank you
It's really good and refreshing to see an American give an honest and unbiased review. Most American reviewers seem to be biased towards the American Shark products (made in China) but it is now clear to me that the British Dyson is the best vacuum cleaner in the world. I was really struggling with this, as there are so many conflicting reviews. Thank you for helping me with my choice. Æ
Great info! I have a Dyson DC56 (reads like a V2 digital motor per the Wiki list of Dyson products) on the way that I got for ~$30 so I can have a DeWalt 20V battery pack capable portable vacuum that I can hack that into. Looks like isn't a Dyson V6... so not 2-tier cyclone tech, though will be my first Dyson cordless to work with. Interesting inspiration to be on the lookout for a great bad battery V8 or newer... or maybe just V6 or newer. Interesting too is seeing the hacks using the 26650 high drain batteries to replace the 18650 cell... inspired me to consider for a DeWalt monster pack hack.
The Shark ION P50 weighs over twice as much as the Dyson models shown in this video. Just something else to consider when choosing which is the right one for you.
I have the dirt devil. In a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 dogs it does really well. And it was only about 100 bucks! Enough battery for whole house cleaning. Only downside as mentioned is that you HAVE to empty the canister every 5 minutes. And a thorough rinse and cleaning after a weekly vacuuming is definitely needed if you want it to last longer than a month.
Purchased the Dirt Devil Reach Max at Walmart last night for $54. It was 50% off so I figured I couldn't lose. Used it today and it did a terrific job of picking up pet hair. It's easy to manuever and gets under hard to reach areas. This review was nice to see and I feel more confident with my purchase. Thanks!
I remember buying a cheapo vacuum for 60 bucks or so and that thing stopped sucking properly after a couple months. Now 7 months into owning my dyson v10 and its been awesome. I actually vacuum way more often just because of how easy and convenient it is. I would recommend it any day of the week. Just my thoughts. (Cheap vacuum I got was either a shark or a bissell. Cant quite remember since it was garbage)
Your videos are great! I appreciate how you show what the strengths and weaknesses are between each of the options so it helps the consumer pick the right option for them!
And Dysons customer service is amazing. Had a issue with mine and they sent a replacement out immediately. They had me send me mine back postage paid by them with ups
William Saba Thats why they get my money. Shark actually is comparable in many ways for much less but they have a horrible customer service rating. Shark vacuum not working right out the box? Shark will charge you $20 to ship it back to them & another $150 to fix the problem because it’s not part of the “warranty”!
V10 battery built in, V8 battery can be switched out(3 screws Phillips) for longer run times(6000mah $55 aliexpress). Have V8, nice vacuum, grab and go. Height adjust would be nice as some report pyle being pulled up, red brushes are the hard ones, black are soft for hard floor.
Two things you forgot to consider. 1) emptying dust bin. The ION P50 is more ergonomic because it's a bigger dust bin and it detaches from the vacuum, with lids on both ends. 2) ION P50's dual brush is simultaneously engaged at all times, meaning your hardwood will get sanded by the stiff brushes on the carpet roller.
@@VacuumWars Contrary to popular believe, the number one thing that I wanna know with these reviews is not the battery life or the suction power. It's the part where you empty the goshdarn dust bin. I have a V6 Absolute, and I'm perfectly satisfied with it, except for the part where you have to manually empty the dust bin. The dust bin is stuck to the entire vacuum on the cordless Dyson models, so when you open the lid to empty it, it causes a plume of dust to rise and coat the entire vacuum. This is gross enough as it is, but it's not all. The Dyson's and most cordless vacuums have their engine/filter inside the dust bin, so it entangles lint and hair. You could try pounding it out, which, again, because the bin is stuck to the entire vacuum, is precarious and unwieldy. You don't wanna break the thing, and also, every time you shake it or rattle it to dislodge the clumps of lint and hair, it just continues to disseminate dust everywhere, including the vacuum and your clothes. Ultimately, you need to get a stick to manually dislodge the clusters of lint between the motor/filter inside the bin. I always do this outside, because it's an unmitigated disaster as it is, and I'll pick at the lint with a twig. Again, very precarious operation. The whole procedure generally takes me around 20-30 minutes. There's the emptying the bin, and then there's the clean-up afterward. I have to give the vacuum a thorough wipe down, wash up, change clothes, etc. For all the convenience of a cordless, this is the payback, and for me, it's not worth it. The most ergonomic bin I've been able to find for the cordless is the ION P50 by Shark, because the dust bin detaches like a corded vacuum. It also had lids that open both ways and there's no motor/filter permanently housed inside the bin to create crevices that'll get clogged with lint. The only concern with it is that it has the idiotic dual brush bar technology, where the vacuum is simultaneously spinning both the hardwood + carpet roller at all times. So when you switch over to hardwood, the carpet roller's stiff bristles are still engaged, and it's gonna scratch up the hardwood over time. The perfect vacuum for me that I've found is still Dyson's cordless. It's extremely light and convenient, but the BAGLESS dust bin is a deal breaker.
Thank you for this professionally put together video. Based on the information from your video I bought the Dirt Devil Chordless Reach Max Plus Vacuum from Amazon Warehouse Condition: Used - Acceptable - Large cosmetic imperfection(s) on top, front or sides of item. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged for $77.02 ($84.34) after tax. The thing is in Mint brand new condition. Like, some douchebag messed up the box. Big whoop. Anyway. I'm so happy with this unit. Like you said, it's great on both floors and carpet. I gotta little studio apt in hollywood with fake hardwood floors and an area rug. It's get's so dusty out here that you gotta clean your floors daily and my previous Dirt Devil Power Stick Lite wasn't cutting it. Now my place is looking sharp and I can basically throw away my broom and dust pan and free up some space cuz the Reach Max Plus takes care of it all now. Thanks for the tip!
I have a Dyson V10 as well as the Eureka NEC222 (Ships & Sold by Amazon). I did a review comparing the two on Amazon.com and both are very good. I gave the edge to the Eureka and it's price has been as low as $175. It's well built and has an available removeable battery. Given your standardized testing process, I'd like to see you test the Eureka unit to see how it stacks up. By the way, the Dyson V10 is a very good unit. However, it does NOT have a removeable battery and Dyson units are notorious for battery failure. These failures almost always render the units as useless, an unfortunate expensive lesson for many.
Have you tested the Hoover Impulse Cordless stick vac? I am trying to compare this vac with the Bissell Multi you have reviewed to see which is best. Both are on a really good price reduction from regular at the moment but I still wish to make the right choice. Appreciate any insights!! Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I like the Shark Ion P50 but it still uses its aggressive brush on more delicate wood floors, which is a major detractor. Even when in the hard-floor mode, the stiff bristles are still actively rotating. This would rule it out for my oak floors. I just use it on carpet, where it does a good job. For my hard floors I still use my Dyson V8 Absolute.
I have been using DuoClean Vacuums (uprights with much more agitation power and thicker bristles) with out cleaning business since they came out. We are in an area with lots of rental cabins, which is to say that most of the house we clean are hard floors, and WIDE variety of types of hard floors, including some very nice and delicate floors. I have never had the slightest problem. That also seem like something that Shark would be watching for in their tests. Especially since the Duocleans are primary marketed for hard floors. Maybe pick a small area to test it, it would be worth it, because they are AMAZING with hard floor pickup.
Vacuum Wars Thanks for the reply. Maybe my floors are overly sensitive to this (hairline scratches - so easily picked up). It matters not to me since I have my V8 Absolute handy. There’s simply no reason for that bristle brush to be active on hard floors.
Excellent review! I happened to notice that one of the vacuums you tested had a canister that you had to hold in your second hand. As someone who may frequently be holding a baby as I vacuum, I would appreciate knowing which vacuums can be operated with one hand and which would need two. It'd be a veto factor for me. FYI for future reviews.
Had a Dyson v6 absolute. Did a great job but battery life was a little lacking. Costco had a sale on the v10 so stupid me bought one. Have to say the v10 is WAY better than the v6. More suction, much better battery and the bin is a lot easier to empty. It truely delivers a corded vacuum cleaning experience without the cord.
Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I l love your videos! I love the way you take time to test so many vacuums. I am always looking for a good carpet shampooer and regular vacuums. Because I regret buying Miele Swing S7580 in 2014, I start watching vacuum videos. It costed me $923.29. The only reason I purchase this is that the product was made in Germany. I wish I knew your videos before purchasing this vacuum...
Had a shark duo clean multi flex for maybe 6 months. We have a puppy and predominately hard wood floors everywhere, with a carpet only in the living room. The roller kept getting stuck, the vacuum would constantly shut off, and I was extremely dissatisfied. Returned it and got a v10 and looking forward to using it
The dog fire/hair almost never lies on carpet or floor like on your test. What usually happens is that single hairs are weaved together into the carpet. That changes a lot for cleaning the carpet as the vacuum needs untangle it to be able to suck it in. Test with huge tangled pieces of hair are barely useful in that matter. Such tangles do create, but mostly in the corners and are anyway easy to deal with for any vacuum.
Yeah I have tried to rub the hair in to the carpet and do some other things. Its kind of hard to figure out a way to make it exactly like the real deal.
I'm addicted to buying vacuum cleaners. I have 4 not very old vacuums. I can't help myself. I would never change from a Shark though. I have the Shark Apex with duoclean. That thing is awesome! I have 3 German Shepherds and a Labradoodle. So, I have to vacuum everyday. It will pick up anything. It ate it's own cord. My husband had to fix that. Lol he wasn't very happy. I just ordered a cordless with the 2 battery paks. Hoping it works good. I already have a Shark rocket to. Love that too, but not liking that falling over thing. It won't stand on it's own, so I don't use it much.
I must say, when the Shark Apex says it doesn't loose power....it doesn't!! I have had that canister so full I don't know how it picked anything up, but it did. I didn't do it on purpose and I try to clean it out more ofter.
I would have loved to watch videos like this when I was your age! I've always liked DIY stuff, that's why I love woodworking, when I can do it. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis which means I can only do some things due to my inability to breathe properly. I love vacuum wars, that's why I subscribed to it. He goes into details! Also, I'm 69, will be 70 in late Nov.!
You know, in the end part, where you show the wacuum cleaners clean over the white stuff, Dyson doesn't recommend to suck up ashes, dust from drilling or flour like dust, because the filter can't take it and the very fine dust goes into the main unit and stays there.
Does the Dyson V10 still plug in for charging as easily as the V6? I love how the V6 has no bulky charging station to take up space in my house. Thanks.
Hi. I sprinkled baking soda on my carpet and now I’m reading you can’t use the Dyson or other vacuums to vacuum it up or it’ll damage it. Is this true? I have the Dyson V8 Animal stick vacuum that’s cordless
I work at a Floor Care Dealer..also doing Warranty, etc. on most brands. Some companies are 'Quite Good' with their Warranty Claims.. others.. 'Not So Good' ! If you purchase a Dyson, be prepared to 'Send it Back to Them' for Repairs / Replacement ! Also.. if you see any 'Big Box Store Sales' for a Huge Savings on Many Models.. (they are probably Discontinued and Parts will be NLA or with some 'Very Hard to Get' !) So Buyer Beware !
I have a few questions since im new to these vaccuum stuff. This cordless ones...is it on batteries? So when they run out you have to buy more of their batteries? Or they have a charging system? If no, Do you know is there are any vaccums that are cordless but also have a charging system if it does run out? (I think that would be cool)
I'm assuming these vacuums are best for hardwood/tile floors. That being said, I'm going to stick with a Shark 771 for my college endeavor (HEPA-seal for bad allergies + carpet abilities + affordable)
Thx for the video. Are you able to use these devices to clean on the table? Like remove the long neck and use their suction sectionlike hanheld vacuums?
Please allow him to review the Tineco, it's right up there with the Dyson but you'll save bucks. I have two of them and am very pleased with their performance, HEPA filtration included.
How does the best of these cordless vacs compare to a high powered heavy, like a Kirby G series? Just curious. Are these designed to be your main vacuum? or are these a go-to quick picker-upper?
Except for the V10 most cordless vacuums dont deep clean carpets as good as corded vacs. Other than that they can replace regular vacuums as long as the battery life is sufficient/
@@VacuumWars I appreciate the reply. I do know that Dyson has ceased development of heavy corded vacs, and focusing wholly and solely on highly efficient cordless vacs, the V-10 being among their latest models. It might be time to put the beast out to pasture.
I could have gotten the V10 when it came out but it was like $600. I got a brand new V8 Absolute for $260! Can't beat that. It's also more compact than the V10 which is a plus for me. The Shark looks big and heavy compared to the Dysons.
Good deal on the V8! Yeah the Shark is technically heavier but since the weight is on bottom instead of the handle its actually quite a bit easier on the forearm.

Bro im sitting in the Target parking lot in my car watching vaccum reviews. Life is over.

This makes me feel old I’m only 15 😭😭😭
Now this is how a review should be.
Thanks, I hope to make more just like this one.

That is true, but at the same time it FEELS much lighters since the weight on your arm is significantly less due to the weight distribution.
there are other shark models and also no metion of the vax blade cordless

Do you find the soft head necessary for hard floors?
Thank you for this professionally put together video. Based on the information from your video I bought the Dirt Devil Chordless Reach Max Plus Vacuum from Amazon Warehouse Condition: Used - Acceptable - Large cosmetic imperfection(s) on top, front or sides of item. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged for $77.02 ($84.34) after tax. The thing is in Mint brand new condition. Like, some douchebag messed up the box. Big whoop.
Anyway. I'm so happy with this unit. Like you said, it's great on both floors and carpet. I gotta little studio apt in hollywood with fake hardwood floors and an area rug. It's get's so dusty out here that you gotta clean your floors daily and my previous Dirt Devil Power Stick Lite wasn't cutting it. Now my place is looking sharp and I can basically throw away my broom and dust pan and free up some space cuz the Reach Max Plus takes care of it all now. Thanks for the tip!
Short, to the point and complete! This review gets my thumbs up!
NICE! Thanks!
I have a Dyson V10 as well as the Eureka NEC222 (Ships & Sold by Amazon). I did a review comparing the two on Amazon.com and both are very good. I gave the edge to the Eureka and it's price has been as low as $175. It's well built and has an available removeable battery. Given your standardized testing process, I'd like to see you test the Eureka unit to see how it stacks up.
By the way, the Dyson V10 is a very good unit. However, it does NOT have a removeable battery and Dyson units are notorious for battery failure. These failures almost always render the units as useless, an unfortunate expensive lesson for many.
I know it's kind of an oddball, but I would've like to have seen how Milwaukee Tool's M18 Fuel compact vacuum compares in this lineup.
Excellent and efficient review! I'm still rockin the 1st Dyson DC stick-vac, but it's nice to see how even the budget offerings have greatly improved.
Yeah they have come a long way in a short time.
Phrancis5 how long have you had yours ? How's the battery holding ? Any shocking issues ? I've heard complaints of both and carpet piece breaking
Have you tested the Hoover Impulse Cordless stick vac? I am trying to compare this vac with the Bissell Multi you have reviewed to see which is best. Both are on a really good price reduction from regular at the moment but I still wish to make the right choice. Appreciate any insights!! Thanks!
I don’t even have a home to clean, still I’m watching and definitely gonna buy the dyson
Thanks for the review. I like the Shark Ion P50 but it still uses its aggressive brush on more delicate wood floors, which is a major detractor. Even when in the hard-floor mode, the stiff bristles are still actively rotating. This would rule it out for my oak floors. I just use it on carpet, where it does a good job.
For my hard floors I still use my Dyson V8 Absolute.
I really didnt notice it being very aggressive, I wonder if I can design a way to test that?
Vacuum Wars I’m not sure. All I know is those bristles are really aggressive feeling. My oak floor finish would be destroyed.
I have been using DuoClean Vacuums (uprights with much more agitation power and thicker bristles) with out cleaning business since they came out. We are in an area with lots of rental cabins, which is to say that most of the house we clean are hard floors, and WIDE variety of types of hard floors, including some very nice and delicate floors. I have never had the slightest problem. That also seem like something that Shark would be watching for in their tests. Especially since the Duocleans are primary marketed for hard floors. Maybe pick a small area to test it, it would be worth it, because they are AMAZING with hard floor pickup.
Vacuum Wars Thanks for the reply. Maybe my floors are overly sensitive to this (hairline scratches - so easily picked up). It matters not to me since I have my V8 Absolute handy. There’s simply no reason for that bristle brush to be active on hard floors.
Excellent review! I happened to notice that one of the vacuums you tested had a canister that you had to hold in your second hand. As someone who may frequently be holding a baby as I vacuum, I would appreciate knowing which vacuums can be operated with one hand and which would need two. It'd be a veto factor for me. FYI for future reviews.
Had a Dyson v6 absolute. Did a great job but battery life was a little lacking. Costco had a sale on the v10 so stupid me bought one. Have to say the v10 is WAY better than the v6. More suction, much better battery and the bin is a lot easier to empty. It truely delivers a corded vacuum cleaning experience without the cord.
I absolutely agree. The V10 is the cordless vacuum to beat.
Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I l love your videos! I love the way you take time to test so many vacuums. I am always looking for a good carpet shampooer and regular vacuums. Because I regret buying Miele Swing S7580 in 2014, I start watching vacuum videos. It costed me $923.29. The only reason I purchase this is that the product was made in Germany. I wish I knew your videos before purchasing this vacuum...
Litterly makes me want to test vacuums out with black carpet and flour... super satisfying.
Had a shark duo clean multi flex for maybe 6 months. We have a puppy and predominately hard wood floors everywhere, with a carpet only in the living room. The roller kept getting stuck, the vacuum would constantly shut off, and I was extremely dissatisfied. Returned it and got a v10 and looking forward to using it
The dog fire/hair almost never lies on carpet or floor like on your test. What usually happens is that single hairs are weaved together into the carpet. That changes a lot for cleaning the carpet as the vacuum needs untangle it to be able to suck it in. Test with huge tangled pieces of hair are barely useful in that matter. Such tangles do create, but mostly in the corners and are anyway easy to deal with for any vacuum.
Yeah I have tried to rub the hair in to the carpet and do some other things. Its kind of hard to figure out a way to make it exactly like the real deal.
I think this review just made my decision on what stick vacuum to buy, which is the Bissell Multi-Reach. Thanks for the review.
I just unboxed mine and am charging it up. How do you like yours 4 months in?
I'm addicted to buying vacuum cleaners. I have 4 not very old vacuums. I can't help myself. I would never change from a Shark though. I have the Shark Apex with duoclean. That thing is awesome!
I have 3 German Shepherds and a Labradoodle. So, I have to vacuum everyday. It will pick up anything. It ate it's own cord. My husband had to fix that. Lol he wasn't very happy. I just ordered a cordless with the 2 battery paks. Hoping it works good. I already have a Shark rocket to. Love that too, but not liking that falling over thing. It won't stand on it's own, so I don't use it much.
I must say, when the Shark Apex says it doesn't loose power....it doesn't!! I have had that canister so full I don't know how it picked anything up, but it did. I didn't do it on purpose and I try to clean it out more ofter.
Never had a dyson, is it worth the high price? Someone who went from cheap to expensive vacuum, i would appreciate your feedback. Thanks
I would have loved to watch videos like this when I was your age! I've always liked DIY stuff, that's why I love woodworking, when I can do it. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis which means I can only do some things due to my inability to breathe properly. I love vacuum wars, that's why I subscribed to it. He goes into details! Also, I'm 69, will be 70 in late Nov.!
Thank you so much! All the best to you!
I have a new Kenmore Elite complete vacuum that I think would be considered premium since it's pushing $300. It's very impressive
Thank you very much for this useful info. Can you please do a review on Ryobi code less vacuum? Thanks
am planning to buy Samsung jet 70 or Dyson v8 animal. Which one would you recommend?
Just bought the v10 abs...
It is amazing!!!
Congratulations on your abs!
My Bissell iconpet edge runs circles around these vacuums
Any opinions on whether the LG is better than a Dyson?
I’m pleased the V10 won as we bought a couple and love them, great review ✌🏼
Nice, good purchase!
Which of the budget vaccumes do you think would be best for stairs? Additionally, which of the premium vaccumes do you think is best for stairs?
You know, in the end part, where you show the wacuum cleaners clean over the white stuff, Dyson doesn't recommend to suck up ashes, dust from drilling or flour like dust, because the filter can't take it and the very fine dust goes into the main unit and stays there.
Excellent review just purchased the shark something something something with two ayonote batteries excellent
What’s the best $50 cheap vacuum for cleaning?
Does the Dyson V10 still plug in for charging as easily as the V6? I love how the V6 has no bulky charging station to take up space in my house. Thanks.
I'll take shark Duo all my floors are hard wood and one vinyl kitchen. I still use Swifter for Dusting it goes under mostly any couches.
One of the best most informative videos!! What do you think of the new shark cordless stick vs the Dyson V10?
I like the Dyson V10 over the Shark F80, its also better than the P50 in some ways but its very close.
Do you ever test to determine whether they have constant power, as the battery drains? I don't like it when they gradually lose power.
Wherever I look, it always come down to Dyson V8 or V10 which are equally expensive. 😭😭😭 But I need a good vacuum that last.
V8 if you are on budget if not go with V10 or V11
v8
Brilliant thank you. An honest review, just what I needed.
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Can I use any of them in my car or there is another better portable (cordless) solution?
Proscenic P8 and P9 are also popular choices among budget cordless vacuums.
Ummm, what would be the best corded stick vacuum?
High quality informative reviews based on science and testing. Thanks!
Thanks very much!
I’ve got the Dyson V8 Absolute! Yay! So good.
Yeah the Dyson V8 is a VERY good cordless.
So which would you recommend for someone who has all hard wood floors and no carpet?
Great review thank you - all the info you need in one clip. Can you guys do cars, houses, fridges etc too? :)
I dont know why but these reviews are addictive.
Love my V10 Absolute!
Is there a budget friendly stick vacuum WITH a cord? My house takes more than 20 minutes to clean. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Yeah! Search up budget corded stick shark vacuum on Amazon.
V10 Best of the Best
It is, at least for now, lots of companies are gunning for it.
Mine always get clogged and I have to keep dismantling and cleaning. I clean the vacuum more than I use it lol
AKODIK13 no it's not
I’m so addicted to these videos
Lol.
Savannah Pearl you need a man lol
Dyson v8 is the perfect one
And for me the real winner
Great review, now which one would be best for removing short dog hair from a fabric couch?
The V10 comes with a motorized brush so probably that.
The most complete review video I have seen. Description box . . . Wow !
Thank you ._
Awesome! Glad you liked it, thanks for stopping by!
Can you please do a competition between the best water vacuum. Such as the quantum, rainbow, Serena and a few cheaper ones. Thanks!
Dyson v10 is a beast not for the faint of heart
Hi. I sprinkled baking soda on my carpet and now I’m reading you can’t use the Dyson or other vacuums to vacuum it up or it’ll damage it. Is this true? I have the Dyson V8 Animal stick vacuum that’s cordless
Just wash the filters after you do.
Which would best for not getting junked up when vacuuming hair and thread from carpet?
Probably the Shark Rocket with Zero M ZS352. Its a stick vacuum but not a cordless. The new Zero M tech is there to prevent pet hair wrapping.
this is what constantly being at home during an ongoing pandemic has done to me... im watching videos about vacuums
I work at a Floor Care Dealer..also doing Warranty, etc. on most brands. Some companies are 'Quite Good' with their Warranty Claims.. others.. 'Not So Good' ! If you purchase a Dyson, be prepared to 'Send it Back to Them' for Repairs / Replacement ! Also.. if you see any 'Big Box Store Sales' for a Huge Savings on Many Models.. (they are probably Discontinued and Parts will be NLA or with some 'Very Hard to Get' !) So Buyer Beware !
I have a few questions since im new to these vaccuum stuff.
This cordless ones...is it on batteries? So when they run out you have to buy more of their batteries? Or they have a charging system?
If no, Do you know is there are any vaccums that are cordless but also have a charging system if it does run out? (I think that would be cool)
All of these cordless vacuums use rechargeable lithium Ion batteries. They come with a charger.
I'm assuming these vacuums are best for hardwood/tile floors. That being said, I'm going to stick with a Shark 771 for my college endeavor (HEPA-seal for bad allergies + carpet abilities + affordable)
Thx for the video. Are you able to use these devices to clean on the table? Like remove the long neck and use their suction sectionlike hanheld vacuums?
Yes you can do that with most of these.
You missed the Rowenta 24v lithium units. I own 2, and they smoke the Dyson V6
Thanks!!! I really needed to see this, I’m now NOT getting the Eureka & going back to getting the Dyson!
Please allow him to review the Tineco, it's right up there with the Dyson but you'll save bucks. I have two of them and am very pleased with their performance, HEPA filtration included.
a really good test....only this way people can see a good review over all vacuums
How does the best of these cordless vacs compare to a high powered heavy, like a Kirby G series? Just curious. Are these designed to be your main vacuum? or are these a go-to quick picker-upper?
Except for the V10 most cordless vacuums dont deep clean carpets as good as corded vacs. Other than that they can replace regular vacuums as long as the battery life is sufficient/
@@VacuumWars I appreciate the reply. I do know that Dyson has ceased development of heavy corded vacs, and focusing wholly and solely on highly efficient cordless vacs, the V-10 being among their latest models. It might be time to put the beast out to pasture.
Please do a review for the LG Cordzero A9! It's priced like Dyson, but would like to know how it compares in your tests!!
I could have gotten the V10 when it came out but it was like $600. I got a brand new V8 Absolute for $260! Can't beat that. It's also more compact than the V10 which is a plus for me. The Shark looks big and heavy compared to the Dysons.
Good deal on the V8! Yeah the Shark is technically heavier but since the weight is on bottom instead of the handle its actually quite a bit easier on the forearm.
@@VacuumWars Yeah. I was also surprised to see the V8 outlast the V10 on max suction!
Are you also going to test the tineco a10 hero? The smoke test would be interesting!
