Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Great vacuum does everything as advertised one of best products sold by Amazon

Several years ago I was so excited to get my first Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner. Fast forward maybe six months later and I went to use it and it was trashed. My darling husband had come to the brilliant decision to use it to vacuum up after a drywall job. Hes not lived that one down but Im happy to have this vacuum now. What I like about it...strong suction power and how well it maneuvers and gets under furniture. We have dogs and it works well on our hardwood floors and rugs. Solid build quality, easy to empty, good battery life. What I dont like about it...doesnt stand up on its own, no on button (have to keep holding it down to vacuum). No printed manual (says to reduce environmental impact theyve moved it online.

This will change your floors for the rest of your life. I used to vacuum all the time and now one pass over the same floor, is all i need to get the dirt, dust & grime in any surface. I will never switch back to a normal vacuum with a cord. As a women, i think this vacuum is easy, convenient and ergonomic for anyone who doesn’t want a heavy vacuum but still wants a deep clean.

I bought a cheap one and surprise! It broke or doesn’t pull the animal fur from everything so I broke down and bought the Dyson. So happy to have a clean house again!!!! Thank you Dyson!

I finally pulled the trigger on this sucker. Literally and figuratively. I’d been eyeballing it for about 9 months after using a friends. It is everything I hoped it would be. We have a dog that sheds like it’s his job and 3 kittens that are equally as hairy. I was a bit concerned that being cordless would mean sacrificing a bit of suction. Nope. It’s as sucky as they come, if not suckier. It gets all the hair and dirt! I had purchased another brand (corded) vacuum less than a year ago and had nothing but problems with it. I used it right before opening the Dyson (which I have named Mike Tyson the Dyson by the way), then used the Dyson right afterwards… it was AMAZING how much stuff the old vacuum missed that I didn’t even realize. Our house is mostly hardwoods with some low pile carpeting and it works equally well on both. Another concern I had was the 40 minute run time. Would it be enough time for a full vacuum of my (2000+sq/ft) house? It is. A big part of the reason for that is because it’s SO easy to pull this thing off it’s charger and spot vacuum, I do it far more frequently. No more animal hair tumble weeds that magically appear overnight. The coolest feature is how all of the pieces snap in effortlessly. You can make it long or short and put different attachments on either. I can finally reach my porch ceiling without a chair or ladder! Also, if you need to bring it somewhere away from your house, you can detach it and still bring the cord if you need to charge it without using the docking station. This is obviously not an inexpensive buy, but in my opinion, it’s worth the money. I was sick of buying mediocre ones every couple of years. This comes with a 2 year warranty and lifetime assistance. I kept my eye on it and once the price went down to $399, I bought it. I’ve managed to talk 2 other friends into buying one since I bought mine 8 weeks ago and they are both equally as happy. It’s kind of weird how much I talk about vacuuming now! If you’re on the fence on what to buy, don’t be..

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 have tried multiple hand helds, and this one is absolutely the winner. It is so versatile, and not too heavy. The open and close latch is tight, and sometimes it feels like you are going to break it, but on my shark it isnt tight and reduces the suction. I especially like the wall attachment that it comes with. I would definitely recommend this.

I purchased Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum as a birthday gift for my 79yr old mother. She admitted that she was not able to vacuum more than a few times a month because the effort of using her old vacuum wiped her out. Yeah, who gives a vacuum for a present? Well her reviews are in! Best birthday present ever. She says it easily vacuums the hair of her two cats, handles her old shag rug without jamming, and is easy and lightweight enough that she is using it every few days. Battery time is plenty long enough to cover the main portions of her 3 bedroom house and she also noted that it is BEAUTIFUL! I was concerned she wouldnt like the bag-less design, as she had a bag-less vacuum before and hated it. In this case, the ease of ejecting the contents over the garbage has been completely fine.

Paying a little more for a vacuum usually isnt something I want to do, but in this case, it was well worth the money...and then some. It does what its advertised to do, and the suction is impressive. The battery life isnt as long as I would like, especially when its on Boost, but youre told about the battery life before using. Its not like Dyson tries to hide it. Its light, very efficient, and quiet.

Pro: Great suction, picks up better than any cordless vac I’ve ever used including on low pile area rugs. Con: No automatic on button so you have to hold it down the whole time you’re using it No floor light…would like to be able to see what I’m vacuuming up or missing Worst manual I’ve ever seen and to add insult to injury, you have to go online to download it as it’s not even included in the box. Not sure I’d buy it again. For that much $$$, I expected more.
