It says a lot about the dominance of Dyson in the cordless vacuum space that the V10 main competition comes from its own stable, in the shape of the Dyson V8 range of cordless vacuum cleaners and, of course, the new Cyclone V11. Since our initial review of the V10 was published, it’s been a big hit but Dyson has now released its successor – the Dyson Cyclone V11 – and it’s even better than the V10. Emptying the bin is by far the best we've had and the mess slips easily into the waiting receptacle with no dust flooding out after the pet hair.

A great cordless vacuum cleaner can suck it all up in less than 20 seconds, the worst leave hair behind even after two minutes of continuous cleaning. star means that the cordless vacuum is almost ineffective on its minimum setting, whereas 5 star means you will get excellent results even when maximising your cordless vacuums battery life. Our V8 has lasted 5 years, it still works well but one of the kids done something and the filter on the end doesn’t stay on so decided to get a new updated version. It comes with a variety of attachments, depending on whether you choose the Animal, Absolute or Total Clean “models” (see below for more details) and is effective and very easy to use as it’s cordless — once you’ve charged it you can take it anywhere in the house that needs a clean without having to worry about plugging into a wall socket.We have bought some replacement filters as in past experience you are better off leaving the initial one longer than twenty four hours to dry. The one downside to having a front-facing bin is that you'll now have to remove any attachments whenever you want to empty the device — although chances are you were already doing that anyway and never realized. The key development with the Dyson Cyclone V10, though, is the new V10 “digital” motor, which has been significantly redesigned to provide more power in a smaller package than the V8. Maximum power offers incredible suction (we put our fingers up to the vacuum head and were amazed by how strong it was – enough so that we'd firmly suggest not trying this at home), though unfortunately this setting will completely drain the battery after roughly five minutes of usage. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal cordless stick vacuum cleaner is engineered with the power, versatility and run time to deep clean homes with pets.

Advanced whole-machine filtration ensures that allergens are trapped inside the machine, not expelled back into the home. Some batteries maintain their performance right up until the power cuts out, others set off on a gradual decline almost as soon as you start vacuuming.

Opening the bin is as simple as pushing down the red release valve under the unit, which slides the whole bin down in the process and expels any contents within.
