Dyson V10 Allergy Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner: 14 Cyclones, Fade-Free Power, Whole Machine Filtration, Hygienic Bin Emptying, Wall Mounted, Up to 60 Min Runtime

Note... My review is not based on price. The price on this compared to other vacuums may be high (I am sure over time will go down a little). Instead my review simply focuses on my experience with it and with regard to price you decide if the premium for this is worth it. We all have different levels of disposable income so what is worth it for me may not be worthwhile for someone else. Prior to this I had a Shark Rocket Ultra Light Corded Vaccum, which cost about $190 (vs this for about $524... I also bought the Dyson V10 Dok, which I found on ebay for $150, making this overall a quite pricey thing). I had the Shark since 2015 until I replaced it (about 3.5 years). My kids are primarily the ones tasked with vacuuming and for a long while they complained the Shark was not doing a good job. Finally, enough was enough and I attempted to do the vacuuming myself to see how well it worked and needless to say, I had to agree my kids were right. I don't know exactly what the issue was, as the suction seemed semi-decent, but it did not work and that was that. Having seen a Dyson stick (I think V6) by someone else, I thought to get a Dyson. I did first try looking at various alternatives and it seemed that overall the people that use Dyson's tend to be happier with the job they do more so than other brands. So I caved and spent a small fortune on the V10. I know I could have gotten for less a V8 or V6, but I was fed up with the complaints and decided to splurge for what I thought had the best chance at being the best at what it does. Needless to say, the V10 is a great vacuum and we are more than happy with it. My kids don't complain about it anymore. So mission accomplished. Here is a more specific review of the V10 vacuum as based on my prior experience with the Shark and my memories from childhood of the vacuums my parents owned. The V10 is a cordless vacuum. My other vacuums were wired. I personally find using a cordless vacuum much more convenient. The best wired vacuum requires you to deal with that cable at some point. Vacuuming involves walking around and not being tied to an outlet (or if a central vacuum a port in the wall) is great. Battery life will only get you so far. If you have a large house, you might be limited in how much of it you can vacuum in one day. You can look up to get an idea of the run time at various power settings (I will discuss soon). For my apartment, it is perfectly fine. I think I have about 2,000 Square feet, mostly wood, but one room has a carpet. My prior vacuum, the Shark, was built somewhat similar (motor up-top of the stick) to the V10 just with a cord. What is interesting is that I thought the V10 with the battery and motor up-top, as opposed to just a motor up-top would weigh more, in-fact it weighs less (at least feels a lot lighter to hold). This is great for the comfort of your arm and wrist while vacuuming. Power... The V10 has 3 power settings (setting is for both suction and powerheads). Setting 1, is for make-believe... It does some vacuuming but you probably are not going to be using it a lot. Setting 2 does a fine job with almost any regular vacuuming and is where you will probably want to leave the power selector to. Setting 3, is like a tornado. If you have any dirt if this can't suck it out, than I don't think it is coming out. Just one thing to point out, the powerhead has these little gates on it, that you have to adjust right to ensure the suction is not pulling on the dirt under the powerhead and not escaping. Frankly, I never recall ever seeing a vacuum that sucks this powerfully. Power and Battery life - Just want to mention this separately as this is important. If you have the vacuum on setting 3, you will drain your battery really quick. Best to reserve it for tough spots or deep cleaning. Setting 2, seems more than sufficient for any vacuuming we do, and seems comparable if not better than other vacuums I have used (that work). With setting 2, you should get decent battery life. With setting 1 you get the best life, but you may find that it takes a bit more work to get things clean. Just saying, I would not count on being able to only use Setting 1, if you are trying to figure out how long the battery will last. Accessories - The V10 Absolute, which is what I got, comes with the most important tools you probably need, like the hard floor cleaner, the carpet cleaner, and a crevice tool, plus some brushes. If you want more tools, I would suggest checking out first the V10 Dok, as that comes with a tool case. The tools included there, include the rubber hose and the reverse thingy hose, that might be useful. Charging - I did not have a good place to put a wall charger, so after a bit of deliberating, I bought the V10 Dok (got on eBay for $150). It comes with an accessory kit, which was very nice. The V10 Dok, is brilliantly designed and holds everything that comes with the absolute very nicely. It allows you to attach the plug to it so you can drop the Vacuum in the Dok and it is charging right away. The Vacuum, does come with a wall mount that if you can use, also allows for drop in charging. Otherwise you have to remember to manually plug in the vacuum or you will find yourself with a dead vacuum. Cleaning - The clean-out is pretty good. Not sure better than a flat that would just open as opposed to the whole mechanism they have. I find cleaning it out causes some dust to make a mess, but hey this is a vacuum and it takes a moment of vacuuming to fix that... Although my hands manage to get dusty every time I clean it, but a quick wash fixes that. Really a minor concern in an overall excellent product. - There is one other cleaning task you have to do regularly, otherwise the vacuum will stop working until you do... Every once in a while, just unscrew the back and rinse off and let dry overnight. That keeps the air flowing nicely. Quality - I can't say all the plastic parts feel high-quality... That said, have not broke anything yet and I imagine if you take care of and don't leave free-standing, which then leads to free-falling, it should last for years. I do recommend this vacuum and would suggest it may be the best vacuum you can buy currently (corded or cordless). I would expect that over the life, other than having to service something, the 2 parts that would have to be replaced would be the filter (I think runs between $15-$30) and the battery (not sure cost... probably too soon for anyone to be replacing their battery yet, unless their original battery was not good). Assuming at least 500 charge cycles before a battery deteriorates, I would guess the battery life, should be at least 5 to 12 years. Even with some deterioration, depending on your needs you may not notice that the life is not as long (e.g. if the battery gets you through an hour of cleaning, but you only need 30 minutes to clean, than even with some battery life lost, you will be fine for a long while). Obviously, if you use this thing every day at Setting 3 to clean saw-dust, I would not be surprised if your battery is toast pretty quick, but for regular household use, it should last a long time. Based on my experience so far with this, I think the future of vacuums is cordless. In my experience, I really can't find much lacking with this. The things I find lacking, are not necessarily better by corded vacuums. If the price is not an issue, I highly recommend.

A couple weeks into it and I'm a fan. Yes it would be nice if the V10 as twice as much battery life or a swappable battery. It would be nice if my MacBook Pro had a better mechanical keyboard. You make trade-offs in life. But the mere cordless nature of it is a game changer and totally worth it. That can't be overemphasized. Especially if you mount the cradle on the wall with charging cord, so you can drop the Dyson in for recharging and storage, and just lift it out when you want to use.(Tip: I didn't want to damage my rented walls, so I used 3M Command adhesive velcro strips and a wooden plaque from the arts store to mount the cradle onto the wall, works fine.) It's so quick and easy to use, that's the real difference; it changes how you vacuum. Instead of vacuuming being some horrible chore that you try to gear up to do maybe once a week but procrastinate and ignore it for a month (at least in my case) -- now it's something you can do on a whim when you have 2 minutes. Waiting for your coffee to brew, vac the bedroom. Just before you leave for work? Stop and vac the other bedroom. Lift it off the cradle and you're done in 2 or 3 minutes. Have a high-traffic area you're concerned about keeping clean? Why not vac it every single day? The V10 makes it easy. It's an absolute fact that I used to spend as much time managing and winding and unwinding and plugging and unplugging the cord as I'd spend actually working my old vacuum. Thinking about that spurred me to get the Dyson, and the improvement is even better than I imagined. I also like that the head is smaller in all dimensions than my old Oreck, I find I can fit it into spaces I previously couldn't vacuum because they were just a bit too small for the Oreck. I dearly wish I had had the Dyson when I moved into my new apartment a year and a half ago, I fancy the carpet would still look brand new. So battery. Yes if the only way you insist on cleaning is to do the whole house in one session, you won't be well-served by the Dyson; the battery won't last you long enough.. But as I say above, this changes your approach. Don't devote your whole Saturday morning to vacuuming; do it in minutes-long spurts whenever you think of it throughout the week. I Iive in a 2 BR apartment, half hard floor and half carpet, and this is the perfect tool for keeping both surfaces clean, as well as using it for a lot of dusting (it's great that the accessory heads are so easy to swap.) I took it out to the car, and even without the extra car kit it did an excellent job using my various implements, with just a few crevices proving unreachable. I really could not be more pleased with this.

Rather a lot of plastic which one hopes will stand up to wear and tear but this of course makes it light and easy to use Very good performance.

This is a fantastic product, I am thrilled with it! It is so practical, just pick it off it’s wall mount and away you go. I have found that I don’t always need to have the power on full and the battery has not run out so far. The tools are all color coded at the point where they attach to the machine which makes it super easy to interchange and it is also a simple task to empty the bin. I would recommend it to anyone, it is worth every penny!

Cosa dire che non sia stato già detto di questo prodotto? Arrivo da esperienze con altri brand dello stesso articolo non proprio soddisfacenti, per cui non posso che dire che vale la pena fare un sacrificio per acquistare un prodotto che sia decisamente superiore ai suoi competitor di prezzo inferiore. A potenza aspirante media, riesco a lavorare su tutto l’appartamento, divani compresi. Sono un soggetto allergico, per cui lo utilizzo molto spesso e con soddisfazione estrema. Facile da montare e da pulire, leggero, maneggevole e con accessori utili alla manutenzione generale della casa. Arrivato in anticipo, in ottime condizioni di imballo. Molto molto soddisfatta.

Je ne suis pas déçu de cet achat même si le prix est un peu élevé. J'utilisais déjà Dyson par le passé mais un modèle que j'ai acheté en 1998. Il a tenu le coup 15 ans sans aucun soucis, je m'en suis séparé il y 4 ans en choisissant un modèle concurrent, achat regretté car le moteur a lâché après moins de 4 ans !!!!! Le vendeur a été performant, l'expédition a été faite comme programmée, je me suis un peu emporté à propos du transporteur qui a tardé à livrer, sans aucun doute pressée de recevoir cet aspirateur. Je recommande ce vendeur mais aussi mon choix de cette marque.

Mejor que una escoba, manejable con facilidad, ocupa oico y se limpia con facilidad
