On initial inspection, all parts and accessories are made to an extremely high quality and the feel you get is premium.The vacuum looks incredibly slick and slim compared to previous models and this immediately gives you the impression that it is going to be light which is most definitely the case.The vacuum holder is light, strong and durable and easy to fix to a wall which makes it all look neat and premium. A nice feature is the accessory attachment points which help tidy things away.There are plenty of included accessories which will enable great access to areas which may have been problematic to some users but these tools can reach 100% of the areas around the house so I'm very happy with all the tools that came included.A nice touch I think would be for these tools to have an included storage bag as the vacuum holder only allows for 2 attachments.I initially drained the battery and allowed it to charge for a 24 hour period then allowed it to run on the lowest setting which it ran for 67 minutes and 36 seconds which is phenomenal and longer than the official stated time. Obviously the higher setting reduces the run time but not by a large amount of time. I did forget to write the time down and accidently set my timer to reset and the last running time on the medium seeing I saw was 38 mins which is very good as it do go longer than this. When I get the time I will retest and amend this profile.The trigger operation is extremely smooth and it is operated with no effort at all as the balance of the machine gives a very nice centre of gravity which puts your trigger finger in the most optimum position and makes holding the vacuum for a long time very easy. I do think that if anyone doubts they would be able to hold this I can definitely say this won't be the case as it's an extremely well balanced machine.The collection tank has a greater tank volume than previous models but at the same time is very sleek and slim so it looks great and emptying the tank is very easy to do and can be completely emptied without coming into contact with any of the contents.The tank is also very easy to remove, clean and wash which is exactly the same as the filter. It's easy to remove and was so another great point there.The vacuum comes with a hard floor cleaner and a carpet cleaner. The hard floor cleaner is great for getting right up to wall and furniture edges with 100% suction so this is everything that you would want in a vacuum. It definitely cleans better than previous vacuums I've had for cleaning hard floors.I've not been able to test the carpet attachment thoroughly yet on a fitted carpet so I've just used it on a deep pile rug and this was incredible for removing dirt that other vacuums couldn't pick up.The motor noise has been dramatically reduced even to the point that my dog would go crazy when I used previous Dyson vacuums to just showing an interest for a few seconds then walking away. This is a very significant point as you can use the vacuum but still talk normal and also hear music, doorbells etc.This is an exemplary vacuum cleaner that I would most definitely buy but as I was given this vacuum to test I am extremely greatful to Dyson for allowing me this opportunity.The only personal negative for me is the colour of the main cleaning tube. It is a copper orange colour which is not to my taste but it would never stop me from buying this vacuum as it's function more than aesthetics for me.This is a top quality vacuum from Dyson and I'd confidently say will be the world No.1 cordless vacuum.

I have a Dyson canister vacuum that I bought somewhere around 2002...and it still works a treat. Unfortunately, not so much me!! Due to chronic health issues, I find it difficult, if not impossible to bend and manouevre as that machine requires. I also have a Dyson handheld that is slightly newer and it works well too. It has been a big help. But the battery really doesn't last.Much as I love Dyson, I was concerned about the battery on the new V8 Absolute lasting the course and dealing with the ingrained dust you get in the countryside as well as the cat hair that abounds. The battery, too, on this new model has been upgraded. In doing research on the V10, I noticed a number of comments about the charge not lasting long enough.I have to say, I didn't find that at all. I live in a rather large, 2-bed cottage loaded with old beams (which also means loaded with cobwebs) and carpeted throughout with the exception of the kitchen and utility room (brick floors) and one of the bathrooms (lino). Let's start at the beginning. Slightly daunted upon opening the box, and trying to figure out what was what and which went where, when I took a good look at the manual, I saw it was all in pictures. Whilst at first a bit startled that there was virtually nothing to read, I quickly realised how much better this was. It showed pretty much everything I needed to see. Having other Dyson products helped me to understand the clicking mechanism for adding and removing parts. It's just all so easy. The dust collector is a decent size and easy to use, with almost no mess.Then came the true test. I remember way back when I got my first Dyson, having hoovered the house the day before, I was astounded at what it picked up that my old hoover didn't. It was the same this time. First time out, I used the normal tool and opted for the Max setting. The carpets looked cleaner than they have in a very long time. The cobwebs were a doddle with the long tube and accessory and the kitchen floor was better too. The Dyson sucked everything up from the grooves in the brick. At about that time, it gave up and needed a re-charge. I probably got 15 minutes of serious cleaning done, though. The next day, I started again...but used the medium setting. I cleaned two bedrooms, the kitchen again, used the small brush tool to dust furniture, the bathrooms and the utility room...and I still had two bars of power left. Even on medium, it did a superlative job. And it saved a lot of battery power. I would suggest that anyone using this for the first time gives it a good 'max' setting clean. Thereafter, unless there has been an unusual build-up of dust, hair etc, the medium setting is ideal.I also love that it is slim and flexible enough to vacuum under furniture and into corners.The only two slight niggles I have are that 1. You have to keep your hand pressing the button to keep the machine running. When you lift it off, it stops. I understand that having it configured this way does conserve battery power as it automatically shuts off when you remove your finger, but it does get a bit tiresome and the hand begins to ache a bit.And2. The release mechanism for clearing the dust collector is a bit sticky and tricky. But, in the scheme of things, these are really minor issues. Overall, this is a blindingly good machine. I know it is expensive but you do get what you pay for, and if you want the best...in my opinion, this is it.

We live in a 3 storey house, with 2 sets of stairs and for the past 2 years we have been using a Dyson Big Ball Animal cylinder vacuum cleaner. Over this time it has performed excellently but we live in a 3 storey house that has 2 sets of stairs, and lugging it up and down the stairs has become a bit of an issue, with it almost falling on us a couple of times when we're cleaning the stairs.We had seen the advertisements for the Dyson Cyclone V10 cordless vacuum and, even though we were unconvinced by the claims that it is as powerful as a corded vacuum, decided to try it anyway. It arrived last week, and in this time we have used it in various scenarios such as cleaning the entire house (living room,kitchen, 1 downstairs toilet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 sets of stairs) and cars.I have to say that even when taking delivery I was unconvinced that the unit was going to be able to tackle the entire house in one go - having seen some reviews that claim battery life is poor I wasn't expecting it to manage the entire house in one go. On first use through the house I used it on low power, using the motorised head on the carpeted floors, the mini motorised head on the stairs and the motorised soft brush bar head on the hard and tiled floors. Using this setting it managed to clean the whole house and only drop one bar, which was definitely more than I expected. Even better was the fact that even though I used it on low power it still managed to pick up all the cat hairs from the furniture and the carpets with ease and knowing that there is still spare juice left in the tank I think nothing of using a higher power setting for stubborn areas but for the most part I can easily get away with using low power.The build of the unit and the accompanying tools is excellent - as should be expected for the rather high price tag. It is lighter than I was expecting, and it is very comfortable to use, although the starter trigger is extremely sensitive and I find myself pressing it and starting it up when I don't want to, such as when emptying the bin, but I think that over time I will find a better way to hold it as I empty it to stop this from happening.Bin size for such a small unit is sufficient, but even in our moderately sized house I would need to empty it twice during use. Not too much of an issue, given the added convenience of not having to worry about cords. Overall I think this unit is excellent. So much so that it is now going to be come our only vacuum cleaner, and is going to replace our corded cylinder vacuum and handheld cleaners. The only reservation I have is that the battery is non-removable, and this means that when it does eventually deteriorate (hopefully after a number of years) the entire machine will need to be replaced. I hope to get many years of service from this, but time will tell.

Pro's: No cord! Rollerball head means easily gets into tight spaces at an angle (you dont have to position yourself in order for the vacuum to go in straight). Light weight. Unblocking & attachment/detachment of tool heads very easy with bright colours & graphics on the machine at points where you detach/attach & at the main blocking points (refreshingly simple & short instruction manual too!) Every tool head can fit onto the machine directly without the need for the wand meaning easily adaptable to a hand-held (like holding a drill) device for stairs, cars, sofa's, table top crumbs, etc. Cons: Requires re-charging before completed vacuuming (but I have a large 7 bedroom house & use the middle

Our Dyson V10 has been purchased mainly because of the downstairs floor change from carpet to laminate.The V10 is very good and quick on this type of surface as the maximum suction is not required to do the job and the mechanical brush helps a lot.However when you want to use it on carpets (medium thick or thick) and additionally someone in your household has long hair plus maybe you have a pet, then the hoovering experience is different.There is a dedicated mechanical brush for the carpets, which is brilliant and very effective but:- The battery goes quickly when you do your carpeted stairs and floors- The weight of the hoover is considerable,

I got this for my partner who has pretty high standards and is above all pragmatic and practical individual gadgets and fads do not cut the mustard for her.I did not give five stars as we are still getting used to it but a month in really cannot say it was a bad buy. ( Impressions to date.)The standard of build is good, yes the fittings are made from plastic but so are those for almost every hoover but they fit together well and work as they are meant to, the range of fittings is good and it makes for a very adaptable cleaner. For example, it is useful for cleaning the car no leads, no hose straight to the point of use and when finished it is hung up in seconds,

This new Dyson Cyclone v10 Absolute is excellent in every way. It comes with lots of different tools that simply click onto and off the hand held suction wand. These are more than capable of tackling a variety of jobs. It really couldn’t be any easier to use as the v10 is very light and easy to handle with amazing versatility. The battery, when fully charged, provides enough power for 60 minutes of use and this power does not diminish as the battery discharges. There are 3 power settings available depending on the vacuuming job required. The battery has charging lights on it so it is cear to see where the power level is up to during charging. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge up.

This is the first time I've used a Dyson cordless vacuum and I'm impressed. I have had other cordless vacuums and I've been impressed with those in terms of ease of use and suction but once I tried the Dyson, it definitely has more power. I have a dog and the Absolute V10 picked up dog hair easily. I thought my carpets were clean with the other vacuums but when I used the Dyson, they visibly made my carpet look cleaner. I also have long hair and the Dyson picked this up without a problem which I've never had from any hoover including an upright Dyson that I once borrowed. I usually spend ages with a hacksaw having to manually scrape it up.There's 3 settings and all work well.

I’ve owned dyson upright hoovers since they first came out and am always impressed with how well they perform - brilliant at long hair/pet hair etc and getting all the carpets clean. However, I’ve always found them really heavy to lift/move about and stairs are always a bit of a workout/struggle so I thought I would give the V10 a try as it claims to be as powerful as an upright (this I was really sceptical about) and looked much easier to use. Well, I have to say that I am impressed!! I managed to do the whole house in half the time it normally takes me, the stairs (oh the dreaded stairs) were a doddle to do - no more balancing the extension hose and struggling to get into the corners/edges.

I bought this hoover as my old Dyson Animal cylinder vacuum has finally perished. This is a replacement for a corded vacuum. I have been using my old V6 Animal to clean up but the Dyson V10 is a much improved version in many ways. The suction is so much better and the run time is much longer. So far on the lower power mode I haven’t ran out of battery whilst hoovering the downstairs of my house. I have a large open plan tiled and wooden floored space and the V10 tackles the kids mess with no issues. The large roller head also hasn’t had hair tangled round it which was one of my issues with the V6. The bin is larger and easier to empty. I have 2 cats and a dog and with the pet attachment tool the V10 gets rid of any fur easily.

Many years ago, as a kid, I used to love vacuum cleaning, but with age the pleasure became a chore. It is easy to dismiss advertising claims about how much better cordless cleaning can be, but it is actually a surprise when moving around a home from room to room that the reflex is still there to pull on the hose, tug along the cylinder and finally unplug the cord at the other end. And this being no longer necessary is a very refreshing surprise that quite transforms the heavy work aspect of vacuuming. This makes cleaning faster, and then there‘s the marvellous beating head attachment, reminding me of the old Hoover ads on TV many years ago ’it beats as it sweeps as it cleans‘.

I’ve been converted to dyson cordless vacuum cleaners for the past 5 years, I have had the DC35 and have found it really easy to lift off the charging dock and clean our hard floors in the kitchen, living room and hall daily. The dysons don’t require the battery to be removed for charging so can be easily removed from the dock. The V10 is equally good for this and is also very good for use on our carpets which are on the stairs and in the bedrooms.With the new model I was hoping that it would be able to lift larger bits of debris (without the need to sort of lift the cleaning head over backwards) - it does this,

I already own a very old Dyson upright and an older model Dyson cordless which has been so useful I decided to buy a second and saw this one, which was promoted as being better than an upright. I have stairs, a cat and a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors so thought that this one would do the job since it has attachments to suit most surfaces. My old cordless didn't have a head useful for stairs and so wasn't that great for those but this new one is fabulous. It comes with a small size rotating brush head perfect for treads. the stairs are now done in double quick time and look so much cleaner. The dust bin is so much easier to empty.

Having been an owner of the Animal V6 the features and look of the new machine were familiar to me. The first thing I noticed was the dust box which is larger than the previous machines and easier to empty. The machine also has 3 power settings and claims to have a longer battery life than the earlier model mentioned. If you owned a previous model that you hung on the wall with the supplied plate as we have the manufacturers even thought about us and included an additional plate which adjusts the charger to your current fixings. Aesthetically it is an attractive machine. Now to the first time I used this machine.

I would definitely recommend Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute. What a brilliant machine, it is well worth paying extra to buy this model, it is beyond fantastic, I love using it and very powerful. It has three settings - max, medium and low. When the machine arrives watch out for pre-set to max as it reduces the power, plus you will be using different attachments, which also reduces power. Reset it to the low setting as cleans up well. Only use max setting for getting the last bit of dust from all surfaces and carpets. I have used all the attachments as I have floorboards, tiles and carpet and it really cleaned all the surfaces brilliantly. It is 20% charged on arrival,
