Full Presentation of the Dyson V10 Unveiling

[vacfan1982]

In the UK the big ball 2 which is a cylinder cleaner has 180 air watts and the big ball 2 cinetic cylinder has 160 airwatts

But I'm taking about upright cleaners. The V10 in max mode matches their upright cleaners.

Currently available? Surely not all.

The Cinectic big ball upright has 120 airwatts in the UK. But it's ball is too big for me

All of the cleaners I listed are uprights currently sold in the US.

The Dyson “Ball” canister currently sold in the US has 280 AW. The “Big Ball” canister has 250 AW.

I believe even my DC33 upright, too, has 255 AW. The DC07 even had 300 or so.

It seems Dyson’s US cleaners have higher ratings.

 

[vacfan1982]

We have power restrictions in the UK down to the EU. Airwatts can be misleading though.
I have read quite a few reviews of the V10 now and they are all very positive.

 

[broomvac]

Not saying it’s bad. I am always in favor of progress. I would definitely say that the V10 is an impressive leap of progress for cordless vacuums.

However, I’m not sure that it is ready to replace full-size corded uprights in the US. My house has carpet with a pile that is over half an inch thick, and there is enough of it that a good vacuuming can take an hour. This is not uncommon in the US. I’m sorry to say that I don’t think the V10 is ready to replace my Dyson uprights. I don’t see it having enough air wattage or agitation to clean as thoroughly as the uprights, and I don’t see it having enough “range,” especially on the 151 AW setting.

I do think it will shine in small homes, apartments, and anywhere there is a lot of hard floors to clean.

 

[vacfan1982]

It may not suit very large homes with thick pile carpets but I think the majority will get on very well with them. Time will tel. The proof of the pudding is in the eating

I love my v8, use it daily, unless I am doing the weekly deep clean, or monthly every surface clean. I get by fine as mostly on low power setting, 625 sq ft and hard wood floors and large room rugs, not heavy pile. However, every friend I visit here in California, wall to wall or many rooms are and 1500 to 2500 sq ft, just not going to cut it for them at the moment I feel. Be great for the daily however for most areas.

 

[vacfan1982]

Yes I agree for very large homes they won't be ideal. Maybe just for a quick pick it.

 

[suckolux]

You probably said it better

Everybody is talking about the airwatts.
You guys have to remember that the corded models have much more airflow.
For example V8 has only 30 cfm airflow.
100 airwatt DC40 has 65 cfm so quite a big difference even if the airwatt rating is the same.

 

[vacfan1982]

I'm not saying the V10 will match the best corded Vacs but it will match some corded vacs and that is quite an achievement for a cordless cleaner.

Whether they can reach the point where their cordless can match the best corded cleaners and have a battery that will give a decent run time plus still be lightweight we will have to see.

It will be quite a challenge. But if anyone can do it Dyson can

 

[mike811]

It doesn't quite macth the corded Dysons, but it sure is gettinmg closer.
Battery technology is constantly going forward, so no long and we can see 200 aw and 65 cfm cordless Dyson.

How you like your Light Ball upright?

 

[henrydreyfuss]

Agitation and airflow are more important than pure suction. Compared to Dyson's best cleaning uprights, the agitation of the V10 cleaner head is what will hold it back. Although excellent for a cordless, by design, the Dyson cordless vacuums nylon brushes don't protrude outside of the sole plate, so they're far more gentle than their best corded siblings.

I will say that Dyson has absolutely crushed it on hard floors, whether upright, canister, or cordless. They work beautifully!

 

[vacfan1982]

I';m returning the Light Ball Mike not because I didn't like it but because I think I will prefer the convenience of the V8. I have other vacs for very deep cleaning
