The V10 is priced between £400-£500 depending on the model. I got the V8 Animal for £250.
No more corded vacuums to be developed by Dyson

I once heard a Hoover rep say that
"Cordless, etc is the way to go". I have a few models. However, I'm still a cord AND bag guy, myself. I've never had a problem with either. None of my cleaners 'belches dust', for lack of a better imagination. Some will bash, 'poo poo' them. ANd, how many people NEVER change a filter in a bagless machine? "There's a filter"? I've heard, lolol.
WE know that Hoover has stopped Elites, for instance. The new thing is out now, almost too early to tell.....
I do have a few extra batteries and chargers for my machines, though.
But, give me a nice bagged, corded cleaner and I'm good to go.

"V8 Animal for £250"
Oooh, that's a more realistic price. Well done!
I just wish Dyson Ltd were more amenable to lower pricing. I've often had the impression that their prices are far too inflated. Surely their technological engineering costs have since been met? Or is Joe Public now subsidising the Dyson car industry too?

They are definitely over priced for what they are. Their sales for last year were 2.5 billion.
They do reinvest alot into R&D and their customer service is the best I've seen but still very overpriced. I thought Shark might have forced Dyson to lower their prices but Sharks prices are now increasing too!

Congratulations Mark! That’s an excellent deal for a Dyson V8!
I didn’t mind the upgrade from the V6 to the V8 because personally for me I wanted the improvements and was thrilled when I received my V8! I wanted the higher HEPA filtration, increased power in the floor brushroll motor and vacuum itself. I also LOVE the new design attachment tool connectors.. much easier to change tools one handed. Main thing I noticed is how delightfully Quiet the V8 is compared to earlier cordless. And I especially appreciate the “normal to max” clean power selector swith up top, conveniently located vs. the ever annoying (to me) push while pulling the trigger at the same time button. But sadly I’m Not seeing huge improvements like those from the V8 to V10! I’ll hold out for the V11 or V12 Lol
Mark, let us know but I can almost guarantee you’re going to really like your new V8! I think you made a great choice as it’s actually the best cordless I’ve owned. And I’ve owned about every brand made as well as all the previous versions from Dyson.

Re: Shark
I noticed that the Shark 'infommercials' are plastered all over ITV late at night. I still think their designs are ugly and bulky though.

Dyson overpriced
They are overpriced here in the United States as well. For their humidifier, which according to the specs only humidifies around 200 square feet, they are charging $400. That is nuts. You can get humidifiers that will humidify 1000 square feet for half that price.

Dyson Prices.........
Here is the thing, nobody is or should be paying full pop or near full pop for their Dyson. I have a V6 Absolute, V7 Absolute and V8 Absolute and never paid more than $350 for any of them. I will get either the refurbs or sometimes there are new deals out there too. I will wait till Black Friday and probably score a V10 for somewhere near half price, which while expensive isn't too bad considering other premium vacuums.

What are the model numbers...
... for the latest cordless machines?
Do they still use the 'DC**' nomenclature, or have they switched to something else?

They dont use the DC now. It's the Small Ball , Light Ball, The Ball and the Cinectic Big Ball.
There are model numbers too but no DC. The DC stood for Dual Cyclone. They haven't been duel cyclone for many years now

Not necessarily so.
I too thought 'DC' stood for 'dual cyclone'. But when they move to the Root 8 technology, I assumed that it really meant 'Dyson Cleaner'.
Anyway here is the Cinetic Big Ball as DC75, from John Lewis...

They don't call it the DC75 now Just the Dyson big ball. John Lewis haven't updated.
The big ball weighs 19lbs. Too heavy for me!
The light ball is 15lbs that's a better weight for most people.

How does the suction compare to a corded machine?
Would it generate enough suction/airflow to power an air-powered turbo nozzle?
I ask that, because I had a DC11 cylinder, and I always got the impression that there wasn't enough suction power to drive the carpet turbo-brush. It was one of the reasons I disliked Dyson cylinder cleaners, along with air leaking in through the joints of the telescopic tube.

It comes with a motorised mini brush.
In Max it has more than enough suction/airflow. My carpets look very clean.
It's so lightweight and easy to manouvre plus it's quiet too.
I can see why people like them. Very convenient.
I like the self cleaning shrowd. That's a big improvement over the V6.
I would definitely recommend them providing you can get a good deal!

I've yet to find a bagless cylinder cleaner I like.
Don't like the Dysons. The Miele Blizzard is ok. But a bit bulky and the cyclone needs work.
I will stick with my Miele C3 and Sebo E3 Premium.They cost more to run but personally I don't mind that too much.

I have some experience with full size cordless cleaners. Tacony has made the cordless Freedom/SupraLite models now for more than two years. They have made two engineering changes - a removable battery pack as well as increased motor speed. The battery (at full charge) lasts almost an hour, and the cleaning ability is excellent. The huge bag holds a TON of dirt - months worth in most homes.
However, they have only a perfunctory appeal to the average person. It's the older customer who really is intrigued enough to make the purchase. MANY say they don't want a cord to trip and fall over. Younger consumers never really think about falling over a vacuum cord.
The one thing I hear over and over again from people who actually Bought a cordless Riccar or Simplicity is: they clean more of the house than they ever intended (that's a good thing). At the closet to get the vac to clean up a small area, the customer turns ON the vacuum and runs it from the closet to the area they wanted to clean. Along the way, they poke into the bedrooms (since the machine is running), and they use it far longer than the 'moment' they intended to.
Funny that Dyson doesn't intend to put any more money in research for his corded line of sweepers, but still hasn't got a canister with an electric power nozzle. A stick vac will never replace a full size vacuum in most American homes, but will be a good 'quick pick up' machine. Now if I lived in a very small apartment in Europe, that would be a different matter.

Good points.
Maybe Dyson decided they have taken their corded cleaners as far as they can and decided that people want the convenience of a cordless.
They are still going to manufacture their corded cleaners but there won't be anymore improvements.
Have they made the right decision? Only time will tell.
But I think people will be very impressed with the V10. I'm talking about the general public here of course

Allow me to rephrase...
If your V8 was attached to an air-powered turbo nozzle, would the V8 be able to make the turbo nozzle work effectively on carpet? THAT would be a true measure of efficiency.
I never asked about the motor nozzle. Any lacklustre suction would be compensated for with a motorised nozzle anyway.
I remember the poor suction of the DC01, which wasn't enough to drive a turbobrush, at only 90AW.

I do Love a lot of things about my Dyson Ball Animal 2.. but a few things irritate the snot out of me and NOW they obviously won’t be changing or “fixing” these frustrating things.
Does anyone care if I ask a few questions about my Corded Dysons here... or should I start a new thread??

@vacfan1982 so your loving your V8 then? I tried one when they came out was impressed with its power and how quiet it was!
I’m tempted to get some sort of cordless vacuum cleaner to use daily for quick clean ups!
I queried with Dyson UK as to why the differences in powerheads in the US to the UK and this was there reply:
“The only reason that there is a slider on the US version is the suction is slightly higher due to different regulations, so there is a slider to make it a bit easier to move over carpets.”
So the US version ‘suction’ is slightly higher! But does that warrant that type of Powerhead!? Would be interesting to see the slight differences in power/suction if that’s the case!

That's an interesting point. I did wonder why we didn't have the slider head
If the V10 has 20% extra suction than the V8 it must have some serious power
Saw a video on YouTube today. Sir James is claiming that the battery will last 15 years if used every day

Jon, Dyson will have offers on the V10 at some point.
These cleaners are so convenient. I'm finding I'm vacuuming more regularly now. Just pick it up and go!
I dont think you will regret buying one
If you wanted a V8 you can get the animal version for £250 on Dysons refurbished eBay site. 1 year guarantee and still in immaculate condition
