The lure of Dyson's new machines is too much to resist at the moment.
I bought the new V10 Total Clean today. I managed to get it for £450 instead of £500 as I have a friend who works in the shop I bought it from.
First impressions from using the 20% battery charge the machine came with...
It picks up very well. As well as the last full size Dyson I had - the upright Light Ball.
Suction on setting 1 is more than enough to clean my lightly soiled car on a weekly basis giving me the full 60 minute run time with suction only tools.
Suction setting 2 will be my main use setting for household cleaning and for cleaning my mums more neglected car that often resembles a farm inside.
Max setting gives impressive power however I'll likely rarely use this as my floors will never be soiled enough to require it.
Is it enough to replace a full sized machine? Yes and no. It will keep the floors clean, however if you gave me a REALLY soiled carpet that was long overdue a deep clean I think I'd prefer a corded machine.
Vacuum often - this will be more than enough. Vacuum rarely / when the carpets are crunchy underfoot and you'll want a corded machine.
Run time won't be long enough for me to give the full house a deep clean where I vacuum under furniture etc in every room so I'll still need a full size corded. This is however more than enough for day to day cleaning though and I'll probably only use a corded machine every week or two.
I've previously had a V6 Total Clean and found the bin on this machine awful to empty. Had to constantly poke about inside it to get everything out.
I had a V8 Animal and this was a nice machine.
The V10 takes it to the next level and is a nice upgrade in terms of features, specification and performance.
I find it a little short in height though as I am 6ft 4 tall. They could of maybe added an extra few inches to the length of the pole however this is no major issue.
The machine came very well packed and has a large selection of tools.
Experience with previous models tell me I will rarely use the 'Fluffy' hard floor head and the articulating reach high elbow.
Along with buying the new V10 I am also going to order the newest upright Dyson as the hose setup on it seems very interesting and I love the red coloured hose LOL it is nice to see they have gone back to a metal wand too.
Hopefully this link to a video of the new upright will work....

I'll post a video review of the V10 in the next week or so when I have time and also do a thread / video review on the new upright machine when I get that.

I had all but decided on the V10 but was really struggling with the £500 as I know I will only be selling in a year or so when something else comes along. Anyway I opened a Very account and ordered the V8 Absolute and the Ball Animal 2 - with 10% off first order and 3 months to pay. So both of them cost just over the price of the V10. Can’t wait to try the Ball Animal 2 out - especially the new hose set up.
