Dyson - Cyclone V10 Motorhead Cord-Free Stick Vacuum - Red

I always thought Dyson manufactured very good products and their price point reflected that. Which in many ways, swayed me from purchasing Dyson and going for a lesser brand name that did the same job. I guess the old adage "you get what you pay for" is true, because this Dyson Cyclone V10 does the job, but does the job even better with excellence in mind. The plastic material they used for the V10 is very lite (less than 6 lbs.) and durable with most of the weight on your hands so it's very maneuverable with rotating ball on the cleaner head. Docking station is very easy to install once you find a stud for it and power source outlet to connect to. Suction power is amazing, simply amazing. Pretty much cleaned my entire 1 bedroom apt. with a dust full of cat hair between hard wood floors and rugs. Emptying the dust bin is one easy motion down so you can dispose of the debris without missing the trash can. Definitely charge it for at least 3 hours before use, so the battery cell is at or almost full capacity. Even though I only used it for 30 min., it will still give me time to use other attachments to clean furniture, drapes, etc. My first Dyson product is not a disappointment and looking forward to acquiring other Dyson products in the future (Fan especially).

I like the weight of this product, I like that it has three settings to use, I like that the battery last enough (on medium) to get through the whole house. I would definitely purchase this product again. I feel that it is just as powerful as my mom's Dyson which is the corded version. I am able to get into small places and reach places without having to bend over. The only thing that would make this better is a longer lasting battery which I believe is addressed in the more updated version but for someone who need to get in and get out and not feel like they have missed anything while getting a good clean, this is perfect. I took before and after pictures.

Easy is the key word! Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to charge. Customer service made the purchase easy!

A few months ago, I was introduced to the cordless stick vacuum as a home maintenance device. I fell in love with them. I hate cords and so the cordless option for floor cleaning was an ideal product for me. The only issue I’ve had with the stick vacuums I’ve used is power. That problem has been solved with the release of the V10 cordless stick vacuum from Dyson. This vacuum is designed to be just as strong (suction-wise) as the bigger vacuums from Dyson. You can use it for small jobs or the entire house. Dyson considers it to be a ‘true’ replacement for traditional full-size vacuums. It’s flexible and can twist around obstacles in your home. It is rechargeable and will be fully charged within 3.5 hours. The V10 arrives in a brightly colored Dyson-branded box. I was actually surprised that the V10’s outer shipping box also had the ‘Dyson’ name on it. The box was easy to open and all the parts were packaged inside cushioned cardboard cartons. There is assembly required, but the main engine body is all one piece. Dyson makes putting the vacuum together very easy. They not only include an illustrated guide for the wall mount, but there is also an illustration for assembly of the main unit on the cover of the operating manual. The manual includes a full illustrated guide with written instructions in both English and Spanish languages I really like how both types of instructions are included. Some people work better with drawings and pictures than just words. So, it’s great that both are available. Putting together the vacuum is really very easy. The engine section snaps together with the stick body, which in turn snaps into the head of the vacuum. Even though the vacuum comes with a partial charge, it’s best to charge it up full before using it. After I charged the vacuum, I ran it around our house. There are three levels of power on the vacuum — one, two, and MAX. When I was on carpeted areas in our house, I used the MAX setting since a lot of our floors have thick carpet. We do have both carpeted and non-carpeted floors in our home though, so I had the opportunity to use setting 1 as well. Dyson referred to this as the ‘base’ setting. Suction-wise the V10 works great. I’ve had no problems with it cleaning the floors in our house. There have been a few times that debris hasn’t been picked up 100%. Sometimes it will blow debris around instead of being sucked into the vacuum. So, I have had to go over areas more than once in non-carpeted floors. That actually wasn’t a surprise though as most of my cordless stick vacuum experiences have caused that to happen. There are two features of the V10 that I feel are lacking. First, the vacuum won’t stand up on its own. While this isn’t really a big deal until you want to store it, I still wanted to note it here. Second, you have to hold in the power button the entire time you are vacuuming. I’ve had other cordless vacuums that allow you to lock the trigger in place so that you don’t have to keep it held in the entire time you are vacuuming. It’s not such a big deal if you are cleaning a small spot in the house, but if you are doing all the floors, it can become a chore to keep it held in. Other than those two things, I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the V10. It’s a very capable vacuum and it has become a replacement for our full size vacuum. We typically vacuum the house — the high traffic areas — every other day with the V10 and then on the weekends we use the full size vacuum everywhere. This helps keep dirt and dust to a minimum in the house. Truth be told, the V10 can do the job, but it does take a bit longer because the canister has to be emptied. It’s a great vacuum and a welcome addition to our home.

Finally decided to spend $500 on a Dyson not knowing it would fall apart in less than a year. It has a 2 year warranty that is not consumer friendly when you have to drive 100+ miles to the closest warranty repair center or ship with paying extra shipping costs.

The ease of use is wonderful, so well designed in that it is bagels and easy to empty, clean, not to mention cordless. Highest level is quite powerful but short lived. 20-30 min at most. However:the medium speed is sufficient for most or any jobs and lasts long enough to get at least 900 square foot space vacuumed.. connections are super easy to detach and change..wish it came with a hard floor attachment, but it’s sold separately.

This new Dyson Cyclone V10 is a great vacuum cleaner. Very light, powerful, versatile and cordless. Not cheap, but so far, worth it.

I have now had Dyson V10 Motorhead for 8 months and I love it! I had a competitors upright vacuum, which worked well but when I bought a new house, I thought I would need to replace or get another vacuum to avoid having to carry it around for 3 floors. I considered a robot but I am so glad I went with the cordless instead! On the lowest setting, I can vacuum my entire house (about 3100 sq ft, mix of rugs/carpet/hardwood) with one full charge. I have long hair and so far, I have not had to sit and pull out tangled hair from the machine. If I have any complaints, it's that it does not work as well with the crevice and brush attachments. I do wish it came with the Torque Drive brushroll but obviously, that's more money.
