Dyson - Cyclone V10 Absolute Cord-Free Stick Vacuum - Copper

Dyson Cyclone v10 Setup/Testing/Conclusion I’m going to first start off by saying Dyson did a great job with the materials and craftsmanship of the Dyson Cyclone v10. I enjoyed the packaging they used and it honestly hooked me and would hook other consumers as well. I personally feel like it's really important for a company to market their product by creating an attractive packaging to contain the beauty of whatever it is they’re selling. Dyson definitely nailed that here. Although majority of the parts are plastic (the exception is the extension tube), the build quality feels sturdy and the Dyson Cyclone v10 looks sleek. Once you open up the box and take all the parts out, it’s honestly really easy to put together. I first plugged in the Dyson Cyclone v10 to give it a full charge. A full charge typically takes approximately 3.5 hours. I highly recommend going over the operating manual because it tells you how to do a lot of different things such as attaching the attachments, how to empty the bin, how to wash the parts that could be washed, the different modes/functions, and of course proper safety guidelines. Now to the usage. I got about an hour of usage on a full charge. I tested the Cyclone v10 on carpet and hardwood floors. First, I will state that the Cyclone v10 definitely did an excellent job cleaning my carpet and hardwood floor. My wife sheds on the regular and her hair is basically everywhere throughout the house. The Cyclone v10 had 0 issues picking up her hair and not only that, it didn’t get tangled anywhere. Both the torque drive cleaner head (for carpets) and the soft roller cleaner head (for hard surfaces) glided with ease. I love the fact that the Cyclone v10 is cordless yet has the power and suction of a corded vacuum. Squeezing the trigger to activate the Cyclone v10 is honestly pretty fun and cool. It makes a sound when you let go of the trigger, to be honest it reminds me of a ray gun or something; long story short I like it. The Cyclone v10 is not loud at all. I’ve owned several different vacuum cleaners in my lifetime. The Cyclone v10 is not loud at all so if you need to use it for a quick clean when it’s late, you shouldn’t be too worried about bothering your neighbors. Cleaning the Cyclone v10 is also relatively easy and the filter along with the head(s) are washable (read the manual folks!). Now to the personal problems I have with the Cyclone v10. The only three things I’m not too fond of on the Cyclone v10 is the bin capacity, charge/usage, and the manual. The bin doesn’t last too long, I found that I needed to empty it about 15 minutes in to cleaning one room. I mean my house isn’t THAT dirty but the max fill line gets filled pretty quickly. With the corded vacuum I have, you can vacuum the entire house before you have to empty it. Granted the vacuum I have prior to the Cyclone v10 is bigger, bulkier, and heavier. The other problem I mentioned was listed above. So with a 3.5 hour charge, the Cyclone v10 only lasts about an hour. If you have a two story house with several rooms, you will not be able to get your entire house cleaned with one full charge. I purchased the previous model for my mom to clean her house and that was her main complaint; not being able to clean the entire house with a full charge. Although the Cyclone v10 charges in 3.5 hours instead of 5 hours like the v8, 3.5 hour charge to give you 1 hour of cleaning isn’t really enough time to completely clean a house. The last problem I have is with the manual. In my personal opinion, there’s not enough explanation in there. There’s a lot of illustration with “clik” here and there but there’s literally not much written explanation/instructions. So for example the 2 brush heads that came with the Cyclone v10, what are you supposed to use them for? The manual doesn’t explain it anywhere. I mean I’m not asking for paragraphs and paragraphs. The illustrations are nice but I feel like some more written explanation/instructions would’ve been helpful to new users. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy using the Cyclone v10. It honestly has a very strong motor and does an excellent job cleaning. I had 0 issues vacuuming long hair that my wife sheds and had 0 issues picking up anything and everything on my floor. No real complaints there. As mentioned above, the only personal problems I have with the Cyclone v10 is the bin capacity, the charge/usage, and the manual. Would I recommend this to a friend or relative? Definitely. Because the Cyclone v10 does indeed do a good job with cleaning. But, would I tell them of the personal problems I came across with it? Absolutely. This way the person purchasing the item would know the ins and outs of the product. In conclusion, I feel like Dyson has definitely made an improvement over their last model. But as always, there’s always room for even more improvement.

I currently have a Dyson stick V6 and the upgrade to a V10 is nice step up. They are some differences in the configuration now, but the benefits are more power, capacity, and duration. The unit comes with a bunch of accessories, 3 powered brush type devices, and the rest are just suction. The extension pole carries power to the accessory if needed. The powered soft pad one worked great on my hardwood floors. Picked up pet hair to debris with no problems and no scratches. The other powered cleaning tools are for carpet, one is full length and the other about half the size for tight areas. All work well, the ones will balls roll easily and the whole unit can be laid almost flat to get under furniture. On stairs whether with powered or suction only accessories the device had great suction and cleaned well. The canister is bigger than the V6 (40% or more I think from the brochure) and they did it by changing the way it empties. On the V6 and V8, you hit a lever and the bottom releases. The intake is to the front of the device. Now, the release is to the front of the device too. So, you have to take off any attachments in order to empty the bin. Not a big deal overall. The release is easy, and canister moves forward and then the hinge is pushed releasing the door to let the dirt out. It’s a cleaner operation than on the V6. The dirt doesn’t stay in the container as much. The battery is a little bigger on the V10, but it goes to 60 minutes. A lot better than the 15 minutes on the V6. The power stayed consistent for long runs with multiple canister emptying. It still has a filter, it’s on the top rear now and with a small twist pops right off. Needs to be cleaned once a month per the instructions. One of the best parts of the setup was the fact that the V10 wall charging unit uses the same distance on the screw holes as the V6, so no drilling new holes. Just remove the old and put in the new. The V10 also has a multi LED charge indicator. The unit is light, didn’t feel heavier than the V6, but with the canister on the front of the head unit and with an attachment the balance is a different in your hand, but that is something to just get used too. Dyson wants this to be the only vacuum you need. For a smaller house or apartment, I think it could do it. For a larger house, I’m glad I have the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Allergy vacuum. The main reason is the canister size. Although the V10 is powerful, the canister is still small compared to an upright. Stopping to empty it would be a pain trying to do a whole floor or more. The powered accessories are a plus over the upright, but with pets, the V10 canister still fills up fast. The upright is more powerful too, but different tools for different jobs. For a portable cordless vacuum, the V10 does it all. I included a picture of the V6 (yellow) and V10 (blue plastic is the filter that twists off) next to each other and the V10 opened. The bottom half of the V10 canister is about the max fill line.

My husband and I bought a V-8 Absolute in 2015 when we bought our house. I was initially very skeptical about spending that much money on a vacuum cleaner but my husband was insistent that he wanted a cordless, and at the time that seemed to be the best one. For a while, it worked very well, for our smallish house (1150 square feet of wood and tile floors, with a few area rugs). However, as time went on the battery power began to run out quicker, and there were other problems such as that the dust canister didn't want to stay closed easily and would sometimes open on its own, spilling its contents after I had vacuumed most of the house (causing much swearing). The cord wore where it attached to the vacuum, requiring taping, and eventually the sweeper head cracked. When we looked into replacing the broken pieces, we found that (surprise!) it was almost as expensive as buying a whole new vacuum-which is typical these days, but I was not very happy that we had spent $500 on a vacuum that lasted 3 years. That breaks down to almost $200 a year for a vacuum, which could buy quite a few Dirt Devils! I looked at a number of other brands, thinking maybe I would find something better, but none of them seemed to have the features of the Dyson, and my husband was still insistent that he did NOT want a corded vac (and yes, he DOES vacuum). So we ended up deciding to give the new Cyclone V10 Absolute a shot. I have to say after the first couple of months, I am pleased with the changes they have made from the one we had. The way the dust canister attaches and empties has been completely redesigned, so there is no way it can pop open by itself now! It is a little bit harder getting things off and on it but it overall it feels somewhat sturdier. While It IS a bit heavier, it is not a big enough difference to cause me pain or fatigue while using it (I have had shoulder problems in the past, and heavy vacuums definitely aggravate it). Also they changed where the charging cord attaches, so it no longer has the bend that caused the wear on the old one. The battery charge lasts plenty long for me to go through the whole house and do detailing as needed. I love the upholstery attachment, especially for vacuuming pet beds-it removes all the hair so I don't have to run them through the wash nearly as often. So overall, in terms of my needs, I am so far very happy with the revamped version. Only time will tell if it lasts better than the first one, but I feel the issues I had with the first one (other than the lack of longevity) were very well addressed in the redesign. Bear in mind this type of vacuum may not suit your needs if you have a large house or lots of carpet, and want to do it all in one go. For a small-medium sized house or apartment with mostly hard floors or low-pile carpet, it should work very well. The long reach also makes it easy to dust fan vents and remove cobwebs from ceilings and corners. I have to say, the Dyson cordless vacuums have changed my attitude about vacuuming. I used to say I hated vacuuming and it was my least-favorite household chore, so I tended to put it off. Of course moving to a house with hard floors has helped a lot in that regard, but I also don't mind taking the vacuum out for a spin these days. It only takes me about 10-15 minutes to give the whole house a once-over, making it easy to keep up on it frequently (usually every other day at least, and often a couple minutes of spot cleaning in between, such as around the kitty litter box). If you tend to only clean your whole house once a week, especially if you have kids and pets and/or lots of carpet, this type of vacuum might not do it for you, but for us it's a great fit.

I bought this dyson vacuum because it is such a chore to struggle with my unwieldy corded canister vac. We heat with wood and constantly have ashes and dust on the floor. The dyson is fairly light, and I don't need to find multiple outlets for the cord to reach. This unit is not exactly cord-free, because you need to charge the battery. It comes with a wall mounted charging station which needs to be installed near a source of power. The machine has pretty decent suction on the moderate and high levels, and will pick up light dust and debris at the low setting. The higher the power, the sooner the battery dies. Cleaning is easy enough so that I empty the bin every time I use it. There is a washable filter that needs to be cleaned periodically. I had to clean mine after about 2 weeks of daily use, but I have been told that this is because the vacuum does such a good job that during the first few weeks the dirt accummulation may be very heavy until the background dirt is removed. The filter is easy to clean, but needs to air dry for 24 hours, meaning that you can't use the machine during that time unless you spend $50-75 on a second filter. This vacuum could have earned five stars from me except for: 1. The battery is not removable and does not last long enough for me to do the entire house on one charge. My most used attachment is the soft roller, sort of like a paint roller tube in a motorized floor attachment. There are three different motorized tools, and they use extra power, shortening the life of a charge. Dyson says that a medium setting will last an hour before the battery is discharged. It seemed to me that I was able to vacuum for about 20 minutes using the soft roller, and then would abruptly stall out and need to be charged for a few hours before the battery is restored. The soft roller is my favorite motorized tool, although my vacuum set also contains a large and small motorized floor attachment. The limited battery life is the major issue with these vacuums. 2. There are several attachments. I have yet to figure out how to store them, so they sit in a pile on the floor. But there is a wall mountable charging rack that can hold a couple of attachments, and I intend to make a holder of some sort. 3. The attachments are a little difficult to switch out. A flexible tab needs to be pushed in to release them. Installing them is literally a snap. 4. The power trigger can't be locked. This is by design to preserve power, but really should be the operator's choice. 5. As mentioned, the filter is washed with water and needs to be dried out before use. A second filter would solve this. All in all, I doubt I will ever use a corded vac again, unless I am desperate to complete a job and the battery is empty. Dysons are pretty pricy, but worth it to me. Just make the battery removable and you will get that last star.

Includes- Instruction manual Recharging cord, docking station 5 attachments- Wand, 2 roller brushes, soft brush, crevice tool 2 years parts (excludes the filter) and labor warranty You can order additional attachments or replacement parts online. I already own a Dyson upright ball vacuum and have been very happy with that. So I was super excited to get the new Dyson cordless V10 absolute model. This is all new redesign with some major improvements- Charges in 3.5 hours It has up to 60 minutes run time. It's 20% smaller than the previous models but more powerful up to 125,000 RPM which means a stronger suction. When you release the trigger, the motor immediately stops which makes it more efficient. Indicators inform you when to clean the filter, if there is a blockage and the battery power. There is 1 washable filter for easier maintenance. The polycarbonate bin is 40% larger with an easy "point and shoot" way to empty. The manual has some instructions and a lot of pictures/diagrams. So you will have to do some deciphering as to what it's trying to tell you what to do. The vacuum is well protected in the packaging yet it was still easy to unpack and assemble. Assembly is minimal. It just depends if you want to add the wand (27") and then the attachments or just add the attachments directly to the vacuum. You will have to fully charge the vacuum before initial use. It will not work while charging. The indicator shows it is charging but after it's fully charged the lights turn off. It would be nice to show that it's fully charged with a light on. I'm guessing they don't to save energy. There are 3 settings to the suction power. I didn't realize what setting I had it on initially and it was set on the maximum, so the run time on there was not 60 minutes. It was only about 10-15. I then adjusted the setting to medium and the run time increased to about 45 minutes. The attachments are super easy to click on and off so you can easily switch those out depending on your cleaning needs. This Dyson V10 Cyclone is such a great vacuum to have in the house. I wouldn't choose to have it be my only vacuum because I believe I still need the upright for my large house. Also pair that with the limited run time since it strictly works off of a rechargeable battery, I got stuck in the middle of larger projects waiting for it to fully recharge again. I would love the ability to use the vacuum while it's plugged in so I have the option to do cord or cordless. But I love the convenience of the wireless vacuum. I was able to easily clean my blinds, air vent overs, couches, car, kitchen floor. etc. It's very versatile. It's light enough too so it's easy to carry around the house and hold it up for extended periods of time. Emptying the bin is super easy and simple. You have to use a little arm muscle to release the latch and push the bin down to open it so you can empty it. There is even the option to completely remove the bin to clean it out and that's just an additional step after opening the bin. I had no problems doing it. I have not installed the docking station since I unfortunately do not have an outlet in my mud room closet or pantry. That would be my ideal place to store it on a wall. So I have to think about where I want the vacuum to be out and visible on a wall. I think the Dyson V10 Cyclone is an absolute must in your Dyson vacuum arsenal. I think it's a great combination with my Dyson upright. I pretty much have everything covered with owning the 2 together.

Being dog owners, we frequently have hair throughout our home that takes over our laminate floors, carpets and furniture. We put the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute to the test and were pleasantly surprised with the results. The vacuum itself is trendy and modern looking with flashy colors and a unique design immediately attracting consumers. The biggest selling point for this vacuum, in my opinion, is that it is lightweight and cordless making it a modern vacuum. My fiancé and I have been held back in the stone age of using a heavy canister vacuum that had terrible suction power leaving our house dirty even after vacuuming over the carpets numerous times. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute picked up dirt, dog hair and even some rocks from our floors proving its suction power is exceptional. We were both blown away at how the attachment or crevice tool cleaned our stairs leaving them spotless and looking brand new. The cyclone features a rotating head for hard to reach spots such as corners where dirt builds up and multiplies making cleaning unstoppable in comparison to our old vacuum. Overall, the vacuum was easy to assemble and easy to figure out without using the user manual. The cyclone was also easy to detach if one desires to use the handheld portion of the vacuum which we did to deep clean our furniture and stairs and was easy to reassemble to the full upright position. Although, the vacuum has amazing suction power I would say the vacuum chamber fills rather quickly leading the user to empty the chamber of dirt more frequently than not which isn’t necessarily a bad thing when you’re saying goodbye to all dirt and debris in your household. Another, unfortunate drawback of this vacuum is the battery life is rather short. When we first opened the vacuum we immediately put it on high power and went to work cleaning our house and within twenty minutes the battery had died and required charging through the outlet which delayed our cleaning. Dyson has been honest about the limited battery life in the Dyson v8 Absolute but the battery should ultimately be improved in the long run for it to be competitive even with a cord vacuum as consumers want to vacuum on demand and not have the inconvenience of charging it before cleaning. An important tip to note is if the user switches out of high power cleaning mode to the standard cleaning power the battery will last longer and it still does a phenomenal job, no real need to use the high power. The vacuum also features a grip button located right at the top of the vacuum which can be inconvenient as it is easily hit as it is sensitive so if you’re bending down to check on your carpet it may go off. The grip button could easily be a concern for an older person struggling with arthritis as you have to hold down the grip button, but having it be sensitive to touch is a big plus. The price of this vacuum may be too steep for most consumers to even consider, but with its unbeatable suction power, lightweight design and rotating vacuum head, it’s a no brainer that this vacuum is a "must have" item for every home. This vacuum has made me say goodbye to my old canister and made me excited to vacuum more frequently without the struggle of lugging around a heavy vacuum and unwinding the cord. It allows me to spend less time trying to suck up dirt and debris as the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute absolutely leaves my floors spotless on the first try.

We got a V8 animal vacuum last yea. I thought it would be for more quick tasks and we'd continue to use our full sized upright Dyson vacuum for full vacuum jobs. We don't use the full sized upright for much anymore. That's how much we liked the V8. I figured this V10 would be a pretty small update. A little more battery. A little more power. Same great vacuum. Now I feel like this is a FANTASTIC upgrade to an already fantastic series of vacuums. I was correct about the extra power and suction. You can feel it's a more powerful vacuum than the previous version. Battery power (as in how long a charge lasts) doesn't feel like it's changed all that much. Which is pretty good considering the boost to suction power. To accomplish this without sacrificing more battery capacity is pretty great. They've also added an extra middle setting. You can use the MAX suction mode (which is what I usually keep it on) or you have 2 steps below that. The old version used to only have MAX and then.. not MAX. One of my biggest complaints about the V8 was that the recharging port was on the handle where you were holding. While vacuuming, you'd sometimes get a tiny "jolt" in your hand. It wasn't painful. It just felt weird when it happened. Kind of like a static shock. They must have gotten enough complaints about this because they've moved the charging port to the other side and modified their wall mount to handle this. No more shocks! Another minor complaint about the V8 was the emptying process. It wasn't difficult at all, but I never got "used to" the steps involved. I always tried to close the lid at the wrong time. With pets, the tank always filled up with a lot of hair so you'd usually have to reach in with your fingers to pull all of the stuff that was wrapped around. The new eject process is much more streamlined in my opinion. It's like a pump action shotgun now. The tank moves out completely so you don't have to reach in to get any extra stuff out as much anymore. Then when you pull the tank back in, it's ready to go! All in all, I already thought the Dyson Stick vacuums were really nice and this version seems to have fixed all the tiny little issues with the previous model. I'd recommend them to anyone if it's in your budget and you want a nice and easy to use vacuum that does a really good job.

Simply amazing and super powerful - Dyson nailed it this time! I have been using Dyson Ball Animal 2 for a long time now, which is of course a corded vacuum. I was hesitant to try Dyson Cordless because of its price pint. Now, I have a different thought on it, for good! Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3 is a definitely a game changer. It is super powerful, you won't understand its power unless you really use it with its maximum power. We couldn't vacuum our carpeted floor area with its maximum power. We had to keep it in the medium power as the suction was super powerful, it was really hard to pull V10 during the process. Even at the medium speed it really cleaned the carpeted area ever than before. We were also amazed to see how it cleaned hardwood floor with Dyson's amazing hardwood floor attachment. Especially we liked how it cleaned the sideboard / edges / corners with it's wonderful suction power. None of our previous super powerful vacuums ever cleaned those areas on a single move like Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3 did. Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3 comes with all attachments you needed for different type of floors and different areas. 3 things I don't like about Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3: 1. Hard to release / empty container - definitely not handsfree this time especially with hair or fibers. Make sure you have a pair of gloves ready while emptying the container. 2. Battery life - On full charge it runs about 20 minutes on different speeds, not good enough for a two story house. Now we have to schedule 2 different times for each floor in order to complete the job without any interruption. 3. New docking station design - compared to V7/V8 docking station, V10 docking station makes it bit hard to pull out the vacuum. Another downside is the pricing of Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3. $700 sounds like too much for a cordless vacuum and could turn down many potential customers. But the power of this monster gives me a second thought on it. Thats why I didn't take any stars out of 5 despite of few short comings of Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3. Overall, we are really happy with Dyson V10 Stick Vacuum 3 and highly recommend this beast!
