Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Is an amazing product 5 stars

Works very well and keeps my floor very clean

Weve relied on a full-sized Dyson vacuum (one of their Animal versions) for the past nearly 16 years and its still going strong. Last year we started to tire of dragging it up and down the staircase, and of using it to try to vacuum the carpeted stairs themselves. So, we got a promising stick vac from another major brand and it definitely made things easier. But, the suction wasnt as good as Dyson, and, the battery life was a little disappointing after the first several uses. When I saw that Dyson had released a new version of their new generation of stick vacuum, this V10 Animal, I wondered if it could deliver where the other brands stick vac had fallen short and if it could deliver an across the board consistently good user experience. As it turns out, the answer is a resounding yes! Battery life is exceptional, suction is superior even on the lowest of the three settings. Turning it up to medium or high via the slider switch puts it into an entirely different league. Emptying the dust cup is easy, thankfully, as between the hair on the animals and the hair on the humans and the regular household dirt/dust, I have to empty it reasonably frequently. That doesnt bother me though, as the fact that its getting picked up at a rate that exceeds what the previous stick vac was doing is absolutely a good thing! Clearing any hair that gets stuck on the beater bars (the full-width one or the smaller upholstery one) is so much easier than older generations of Dyson vacuum beater bars. Huge improvement! Just pop open the side hatch and pull the bar out, easy peasy. Do carefully inspect the gasket/guide on the end of the beater bar (I had some hair get trapped in there that ended up holding some regular dust, too) before sliding it back in and closing the hatch. Subsequent vacuum sessions resulted in next to no hair getting trapped on the bar, so apparently it only took one pass with the Dyson V10 to get what the other brands model couldnt. Again, thats pretty impressive to me. As part of putting the V10 Animal through its paces for this review, I took the cup apart and washed it and its gasket separately, as that appears to be the most complex part of the user maintenance. Im pleased to report that with careful attention paid to how the gasket is lined up when it comes off, it is very much possible to put it back in place after everything has dried for a day. Aligning the gasket grooves uniformly into the hard plastic channel thats partially obscured by the hinge was the most challenging part and took me three attempts before I realized how it was supposed to look when everything was aligned correctly. Ooops. I should have paid more attention. However, once it was properly in place, then the lid closed smoothly in a way that it wouldnt do with improper gasket placement. So, if you have to go that route and remove the gasket for cleaning purposes, take pictures and pay close attention as you remove the gasket, and dont try to force anything when putting it back together. It will close smoothly when everything is properly in place. The more you know, right? Cleaning the filter cap/stub thingy was simple, with a basic faucet rinse and a 24hr drying period. So much easier than our many generations old Dyson. Just make sure everything dries completely before you reassemble it... a wet vacuum filter that gets used is one that youll never get the smell out of (if you know, you know!). Using this Dyson V10 Animal was so easy... really a revelation. Its super-light, it made cleaning the carpeted stairs easier than I ever imagined they could be, and it takes after low and medium pile carpet like nobodys business. The included ends and accessories cover all the bases for us. I appreciate that both the full-width carpet beater bar head and the narrower upholstery beater bar head are both powered, rather than the little one relying on bypass air to spin it (as our old Dyson does). Getting cat hair off the furniture is so much more efficient now too! The wall mount holds the unit itself to charge (with the main tube and motorbar cleaner head left installed) plus two of the low-profile accessories right on the wall, leaving only the two more-dimensional ends needing to get stowed elsewhere. I wish that a little pouch had been included for them, but there are 3rd party stands out there that can hold everything if we get frustrated or need to rearrange the room where its hanging. Based on the amazing experience with this V10 Animal, its going into permanent use! If practical gifting is your thing (and your intended recipients wouldnt be offended by such practicality), this would make a great gift! Its so darned useful and functional and its given me back part of my weekend routine to be used for other purposes. Hard to argue with that!

I love everything about this vacuum! It does suck when it dies in the middle of cleaning, but I’m able to do a whole house vacuum or a big project without any issues!! You get what you pay for and Dyson is amazing!

I purchased the Dyson Cyclone V10 based on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. My wife and I were baffled at the amount of pet hair that the Dyson pulled out of our area rugs, carpets, and furniture that our corded machine could not. I highly recommend this machine if you have pets that are super shedders like ours. Additionally, it is lightweight and includes an assortment of well-designed and very useful tools. The only minor issue that I can see with the Dyson is that it does not have a light included with the main floor attachment, especially when cleaning bare floors or dark corners of a room. Nonetheless it is another great Dyson product.

I love it! Lift out of the charging station and vacuum! Light weight and very maneuverable. Powerful but surprisingly quite. Easy to change out assesories and easy to empty. A bit pricy but if it is durable then money well spent.

We loved our V8 and used it all the time. This is lighter, more powerful and runs longer on a charge than the v8 did. There have also been some good upgrades of the attachments, like adding an adjustment for the ride height of the powerhead to allow it to pull in larger debris. Overall Im really impressed with the functional upgrades - this is not just some kind of marketing thing.

The up to minutes are misleading. There are different power settings. If you want the suction you expect from something this expensive, you have to put it on full power. I upgraded from the smaller V8 model, and the battery life was not much better. The attachments are slightly better, but emptying is a downgrade. With the V8, you can keep the tube on and empty it into the garbage. With the V10, the tube sticks through where it opens, so it needs to be removed to empty. The wall mount is also different, so it needed to be changed out. The V10 is a slide in from the top, the V8 requires a push from an angle, then close into place. Either are easy enough, but the V8 is easier because you can come in from varying angles. It matters when you need to maneuver it into place if youre working around other items where youre storing it.
