Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

At all times you have to keep your hands on the button so tiying

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.

One of the best things about this vacuum is the attachments that come with it. I especially love the upholstery attachment, making cleaning furniture and stairs easy. The other attachments, including the crevice and combination tools, are also handy and make cleaning every corner of your home easy. The vacuum is also incredibly powerful, and I could vacuum most of my house on a single charge and at full boost. Its lightweight and easy to maneuver, which makes it ideal for quick cleanups or more extensive cleaning sessions.

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.

Lightweight and very good suction with larger debris capacity

Best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever bought! Amazes me every time I use it.

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!

Love this little vacuum for its power and versatility. Giving it 4 stars for the short battery life. I still have to use my corded upright in addition to this. I have a 1500 sqft house and only get the staircase and one room vacuumed before having to fully recharge.

I have a Brand New Hoover Cordless Pet that I thought was doing a FANTASTIC job but then I got the Dyson, and needless to say, I was literally blown away by the fine dust and dander that my new Dyson picked up. I had a Dyson Cordless (V6) YEARS ago, but it quit working after two years. I was hesitant to buy another and I found alternatives. But it just seemed like the others were missing the suction power of the Dyson. For the Price, the quality of the materials are fantastic. You get a ton of tools, and the nice thing about this unit is the ANTI HAIR wrap Brush... AND, IT WORKS! This Unit is very easy to empty, clean out , and it charges really fast - faster than my hoover. The Wall Mount is an awesome perk to the vacuum - its easy to install on the wall and set up. I hope that this one lasts more than two years like my Prior Dyson, but Im excited to have another Dyson again. is it worth the price??? Id say if you can get it on sale, than yes.

This product is amazing! Arrived in perfect condition and works great
