@@chrispage3803 Oof...I thought it already was. Thanks for the heads up. Just pinned.
Hello, former Dyson in-store "expert" here. Just like to add my two cents worth about these since I have used the V6, V8, V7, and V10, along with the Ball Animal.. literally thousands of times. The company was always pushing us to pimp the V10 over everything else. However, just like other products, it's a highly personal choice which should be based on YOUR needs and budget vs. helping a large company recoup their R&D. That being said, whenever customers asked me which vacuum is best.. I always asked them a couple of basic questions: 1. Do you already have a full-size vac you like- but just want something for quick pick-ups, to put upstairs, use in the car, or in pet areas? 2. Do you have mostly hard surfaces, or a mixture of surfaces, or just mainly carpet? Depending on what they responded, I would direct them to the appropriate vac- sometimes NOT a cordless, but the tried and true, long-lasting Ball Animal. You can pick one of these up at Costco for under $300.00 and with some basic maintenance, you'll get ten years out of it. Plus, it sucks nearly down to the baseboards and is the only Dyson vac certified by Asthma and Allergy foundation. I found it to be a much better overall value than ANY of the cord-frees. IF you already own a vac you like and you just want something to use in-between cleans or for messy pets/kids, then a V-8 will fill the bill nicely and is kinder to your wallet. In fact, depending on where you buy them, it is often possible to purchase BOTH a V-8 and a Ball Animal for around the same price as one V10 Absolute. If you have an unlimited budget and want to chuck your corded vac, then the V-10 is a solid, albeit overpriced (IMHO) choice. Just remember: at the end of the day, a Dyson is just a vacuum, not a status symbol, not a technological juggernaut, cultural touchstone, cult symbol, or any other such nonsense. It's a tool... that's all.
Thanks so much for sharing your insights, Tammy.
100% agree.
I wouldn't say the V10, V8, or any vacuum for that matter, is the "end all be all". Like you say, it's a personal choice based on what a particular person is going to use it to clean.
Thank you so very much for your complete explanation. I have been surfing the net to buy a Dyson Vacuum but am confused on what to pick. Just for my flat, wooden floor, car yes, and no dogs hair to be cleaned. Just to pick mainly dusts, and surfaces etc. Many thanks, you are a star.
If you have so much experience with these, you should def be making videos of your own! thanks though for your 2cents!
i guess it's kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
Great review!!!! It's just what I needed to know. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful :)
I've had my V6 for 5 years now and the battery is fine. The battery doesn't just suddenly die in 2 years. It might degrade a little bit to 90% or 80% capacity, but you definitely don't need to replace it every 2 years.
good thought.
Larry Chen sticking right to the Asian script there mate, buying the cheapest version of an expensive thing, then skimping out on the maintenance. Just like my mother in law 😂
We have a V8 that is less than 2 years old and now ours lasts for around 10 seconds on high.
thanks for this very helpful review 👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome!
I have not uses the V10, but I love, love, love my Dyson V8 vacuum ! I'm sure they are very similar in convience. I bought my V8 because all my vacuum cleaners were bulky and heavier than my body could handle with out having a day or so of recovery time, after I vacuumed my house. With the dyson V8, I could hardly believe the ease of cleaning my house! It's so light weight and effortless, I can clean my house in half the time! And my body doesn't need recovery time! It's so nice to not need to look for an electric outlet. I can't tell enough people about my V8 and how much I love it!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Janice! Glad to hear the V8 has been so great for you.

The battery information is slightly wrong. Yes, the V10 battery is larger because it has 1 x INR20700A 30A Sanyo cell more (7 instead of 6), but it is basically the SAME type of 20700-cell as in the V7 and V8. Dysons "15 years" life time claim is based on estimates on how the average consumer uses the battery. This is NOT to say that the battery of the V7/V8 would be much different as the technology is the SAME. The cycle time is about the same - 800 - but thanks to the extra cell, I'd say life time - increases maybe +15%. So comparing 2 years and 15 is a "slight" overstatement. I am a hobbyist battery-technician and not an expert but Dyson hasn't invented a secret Lithium technology that LG, Samsung, Sony or Panasonic don't know about.
Thanks for your thoughts! Great to hear from a battery expert on the issue.
It'll be interesting to see how the battery lasts over time once more consumer data starts pouring in.
Marcus Yang-Nilsson I
Thanks for clarifying. Dyson seems to really like throwing around all sorts of half truths. Key words such as “up to, lifetime, etc”. I love dyson products but don’t appreciate BS
So how much longer do you think the V10 battery would last over the V8
Also, the 40 minutes estimate on the V8 is w out the motorized cleaning tool. Since most will use this tool while cleaning, that 40 minutes gets cut in half.
It is the best review
Thank you
What an awesome review.. Thanks mate!
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.
I just ordered the V8 Absolute on Dyson’s website chat for 350 bucks. They let you choose one of three bonus kits, and the sales person offered me a free bag to hold the attachments, but I asked for the “flexi crevice tool” attachment instead, and he threw it in for free! And you get two day shipping.. as for the battery on the V8 vs V10, I actually like the fact that if the V8 ever dies, I can order a replacement battery from Dyson’s site, and replace it by only removing three screws.. thanks for the reviews!
Wow.. This really helpful!!! Tq
You're very welcome :)
Thank you darek, you really helped me make up my mind and choose the best.. v10 is indeed a beast
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
Excellent video!!!! Well presented, too.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video - thank you! :)

I have rainbow vacuum which i invested $3,000 in it. Im moving out soon and considering the get the V10 and give away the Rainbow to my sister. Rainbow performs well and has many functions but it is defintely bulky and heavy and not to mention that cleaning the vacuum hose itself takes a lot of work..
The V10 Absolute and V10 Animal include the “Torque” brushbar which is 25% stronger then the Motorhead version. The rubber gasket on the trailing edge provides a tight seal to most, if not, all floor surfaces - which greatly increases the efficiency of the unit. Often we are stuck comparing airwatts to airwatts but Dyson has taken a holistic approach to the V10 in terms of more efficient plumbing of the unit (very linear), as well as provided the Cyclone V10 Absolute and V10 Animal versions with a very efficient and powerful head for carpets compared to the Motorhead model and all previous models cordless models the company has released. When compared Side by side the Cyclone V10 Animal/Absolute will provide a substantial improvement over the V7/8 Animal / V7/8 Absolute models on carpet (wall to wall/area rugs)!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Fair points.
Modern Castle i
Would be helpful if the instructions for V10 included all the attachments and what they do. I have 3 I haven’t a clue what they do!
Sorry about that! If you go here - moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/dyson-v8-vs-v10/ - we have more detailed descriptions of what ever accessory and attachement does.
I think the small things like how the bin empties are the only important changes. Dyson is probably holding back on what technology it releases so that when they release the V10s it will make the V10 look like crap. Nice video tho.
The V10 Motorhead's dust bin is smaller. It's about the same size as the V8's. Also, the V10's maximum run time is based on the lowest power setting which has less power than the V8's lowest setting. A fair comparison would be the V10's run time on it's medium power. I bought the V8. At it's reduced price point since the release of the V10, I felt the V8 was a much better value.
Thanks for letting me know! And my apologies for the error.
You are correct. I double checked the dustbin sizes.
V10 Absolute dustbin = 0.2 gallons
V10 Animal dustbin = 0.2 gallons
V10 Motorhead dustbin = 0.14 gallons
No error at all! It's just something that should be noted. :-)
Noted! :) Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
Good to know, I was deciding between V8 and V10 since the former is having $125 off right now, which makes it $250 cheaper. I think I'm gonna go with V8. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@maxipadthai f3hwbifwtfe5dfjydhhj
I had a roomba and replaced it with a v8. much better and more convenient. the roomba was tearing up parts of the house and getting stuck, taking way too long, and was very loud and a triping hazard as to do an area would take an hour. the v8 is as fast as I can walk so I usually clean the whole 2 level house in about 12 minutes. The fluffy head is the best feature for sure and I do not feel the need to upgrad to v10 the v8 and the battery changes if needed are fine with me
We bought a Roomba once also and it scratched out floors...you could see when the sun hit very circular light scratches...we bought the best Roomba we could because we had cats at the time...but we returned it and bought the V8 Absolute....the battery on that one just wore out and I ended up getting a good deal on the V8 Animal from Dyson (I told them Costco was have a special and it was $90 cheaper there - she checked and matched the price and also gave free shipping....I love these vacuums...
Thank you have helped me decide. I think the V10 is worth the extra as you save in the long term with the battery
That's great!
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the V10.
You mentioned 2 filters on the V8 but only one on the V10 - is there a second filter on the V10? If so, how do you access and clean it? Do you have to replace the hepa filters?
There is not.
The V10 only has a single HEPA filter on the rear of the unit.
The V8 has the HEPA filter on the rear of the unit + a central filter that slides into the middle of the cyclones.
You do not need to replace any of the filters. They are washable and will last the lifetime of the vacuum (with proper cleaning and care).
Awesome video!!!
Thank you, Adella!
I have the V6 and the ball Dyson and those are good enough for me
How about deep cleaning both of these unit once the inside are filled with dust? I used v6 and it has so much deep dust in central part side where it is not easy to access...
Good question!
Whether it's Dyson, any vacuum that has a dustbin will likely have spots that are hard to clean out. You might try a can of compressed air, or better yet a small air compressor.
amzn.to/2JFHOH6 - this is what I use to clean out lots of different vacuums that we test. Pretty much every vacuum I've tested at some point could use a good blast of air to help get dust out of harder to reach spaces.
Beyond that, a damp rag or paper towel is great to remove finer debris that won't come out by just bumping the dust bin into the trash can.
Modern Castle
Can you test out the Oreck Pod? It's a stick vac but it's bagged so it'll be easier to clean.
It's 600$ though which is still a lot of money for a stick vacuum
Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't seen this one yet.
I'll add it to our "to test" list!
Modern Castle
Late i know but you should try the Riccar Superlight cordless.
I know a lot of people who are really savy with vacuums and they really like them.
Nice! Thanks for that suggestion as well. I'll also put it on the list.
I love both my v8 and v10 but if I had to pick I'd pick my v10 every time. I will never use anything other than a dyson though. They are the first vacuums I have had that didn't tear up within the first 2 years.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Makalla! Glad to hear the V10 has worked out so well for you :)
What is it about the v10 that would make it your number one pick? I'm deciding between these two.
For me it just comes down to the maintenance costs.
If the V10 battery really does last as long as Dyson says it will (or really anywhere near that 15 year mark) it is going to make it less expensive over the life of the vacuum. This factor alone is enough to make it a better buy, but when you factor in the other performance differences I think it's a pretty clear choice (in my opinion).
Have a question on something we could have covered better? Please let me know here. Thanks!
Hey, do you have any comments on the weight of it when lifting?
@@rubberduck8867 V8 weights 5.45 lbs
V10 weighs 5.8 lbs
Hi, can the V8 tools fit the V10? I just ordered the V10 animal version lacking the soft roller head and i wonder if I can use the V8 soft roller head to the V10
Yes, the V8 tools and attachments will work on your V10.
Modern Castle thank you I appreciate it!
You're welcome :)
V8 if you have mostly carpet, V10 of you have mostly hard floors. Reason you will need to use the V10 on medium power for carpet to be as effective as the V8... And because of this you will have 5 mins less runtime... But the V10 takes less time to charge.... Hmmm. So with hard floors you will use low power mode on the V10 and have more runtime with equal sucking performance.
What about tile where dirt stick pretty good? Havent seen anyone trying to pick up dirt or dust. I leave in the desert area.
I am currently using Dibea H008, 12k PA. I can't seems to find any conversation on whether it is comparable to V8 or V10?
Dibea attachments are not compatible with the V8 / V10.
How do the rollers do with hair? I have long hair that falls out a lot and everywhere lol
They seem to do fine. During our extended in-home trials we haven't noticed any issues with hair becoming wrapped around the brushroll.
Little late to the party, did you ever learn more about the batteries? I talked to Dyson support and they were pretty quick to shut down the idea that the vacuum battery would last 15 years. As far as I can tell, the only difference in the batteries is that there is one extra cell and that the batteries are smaller to save on weight to compensate for the additional weight of the 7th cell. It’s this 7th cell that gives it the extra run time. However, the batteries have a similar life time which is mostly dependent on how well you take care of it ie what temperature you store it and how you charge it/discharge it. It seems these batteries can easily last 5 years+ (with maybe a 60-80%) charge if well taken care of. There is a v10 battery being offered in their online store and I’m told the battery is replaceable, so it seems to me like the battery doesn’t in fact last 15 years.
Also, did you compare the driver head of the v8 to the torque head of the v10? I don’t think I saw it in this review. Advertising claims it’s 25% better agitation, but not sure if it’s really that much better in real world practice.
Thanks for the review.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for your questions.
Everything you've stated about the battery is the extent of my knowledge as well. It seems that maybe Dyson as a company is backtracking on the founder's public statements.
Regarding the V8's direct drive vs. v10's torque drive head, I haven't done any side by side tests because the nature of the difference between them is incredibly small (in my view). With a few small exceptions, both the V8 and V10 removed nearly all of the debris on our tests.
Is the V10 torque drive head better? Definitely. However, I think much of the performance is being driven by the sheer suction power of the V10 motor. Dyson's 25% improved performance is based on the V8 vs. V10 with their respective heads in max mode.
So I'm not sure if it would really be a 25% increase if you popped the V8 head on the V10.
In any case, both cleaning heads offered nearly flawless cleaning performance. So the difference is really dust / debris that's deeply embedded into carpets or is ultra fine particulates.
I just bought a V10 Animal from Lowe’s for $360 with all the attachments that includes a sale price and military discount. You cannot find a V8 any model anywhere that can beat that price.
That is a pretty solid deal.
Bob Mohr excuse me, can i ask your reviews about v10 animal in real experience?
No vacuum is worth $700 unless It vacuum’s every problem out of your life.
Kirby vacs cost around 1000$ but last 25+ years and turn into a shampooer.
But it's better to get one used for about 300+ because if something does go wrong it's parts are easy to find.
@Sophie My parents have a FQ Majestic. Very clean house. I went in and vacuumed the carpet after their housecleaner with my V8 and easily pulled a pile of dirt out. I would take the cordless Dyson over the FQ. The FQ's wand snap connector broke for no reason. $100USD.
@Sophie I have a V8 and they sent me a V10 Motorhead last week because the V8 cracked at the handle. The Motorhead V10 has a smaller bin than the regular V10 and V11. The basket is the same size as the V8 basket. I do like the design of the V8 better, but the V10 and especially the V11 have way better batteries and other features. Some like the Motorhead because is is smaller. I would never use a corded vacuum again. V8, V10, V11. Watch a bunch of reviews and choose one based on features and price. Good luck!
@Sophie For stairs the Dyson wins 1000% over a regular vacuum. So easy and cleans great.
@Sophie The V6 is the only one worth looking at, but is is still a lesser unit compared to the V8, 10, 11. I would watch the V6 vs V8 videos before buying. A new V8 absolute will have fresh batteries, full warranty and be much better than the V6. The money you will spend on the used V6 can offset the cost of the V8...
have you compared the length of the stick tube? V10s wand seems to be slightly shorter than the v8 wand
We don't have the V8 here (we borrowed it for our review) so I cannot 100% verify right now.
But just looking at the total height, V8 and V10 are basically the same.
V8 is 49" tall. V10 is 49.2" tall. Even if the stick is a little bit shorter the overall reach is still more or less the same.
You can see more height comparisons here - moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/dyson-v6-vs-v7-vs-v8-vs-v10/
Love your videos
Thanks so much, Zhe! I really appreciate that.
thank you
You're welcome!
i have a v8 absolute so i got all the accessories, i want to get a v10, does the accessories from v8 fit v10? i would then like to get the motorhead version since i got all the other parts.
Yes, I believe all of your V8 accessories will work on the V10. It uses the same clip in system.
afj karey yes, your attachments will be interchangeable but will not correspond with the rpm of the V10. They will work fine though, the motorized tools just won't work to their fullest potential with the V10 motor.
ah ok, good to know. thanks for the information!
Like the adjustable height on the motorized all purpose brush on v10 as V8 motobrush seems it can pull up carpet pile would like to adjust height may just add something to raise height a little (ex:PC mouse foot skid pads), I have v8 absolute and bought a 12 cell 6000mah lith-battry from aliexpress $69, works real well runs longer, wont fit in wall hanger, but I put on other 4ooomah battery $55, still more run time than OEM 2800mah batry which was D.O.A, got $80 refund and bought 2 batterys, total with battries new was $350(V8 Absolute).
+modern castle Any Idea why the V10 Animal is sold in Australia with the old motorised brushroll instead of the new one with the button in the front?
Unfortunately, I do not. But I will definitely keep an eye out for that information and post if / when I hear anything.
Not necessarily agree, you’re assuming that the battery life is going to dwindle on the V8 and that’s all depends on your usage. There are far too many variables on that. Remember that even with its supposed maintenance cost you have to go over 9 years of use to equal the cost difference between the two. That’s using your $32 a year maintenance cost on the V8 divide that into the $300 extra cost of the V10 and there you go, not worth it to get the V10, for a slightly better performance, a run time that’s negligible and the dirt cup that you have to empty anyway.
You're not wrong, there are definitely many variables in play here and our $32 / year is an estimate, at best. In retrospect, I wish we had excluded that cost per year number, as there are just too many variables.
In our more recent reviews and videos we've excluded these estimates for many of the reasons you call out above.
In any case, I still do believe the V10 is the better value, given the improved cleaning head, longer run time, and increased suction. Even if you assume they are equal with respect to on-going maintenance, the other features on the V10 give it an overall edge, in my view.
Thanks so much for your inputs and additions to the conversion. Appreciate your views.
Where can I buy the Dyson 10 Absolute at 220 voltage. I live in Egypt?
I'm not sure about that.
Are they not available at normal retail stores in Egypt?
Did you cut your hair with the V10 in between 1:50 and 2:10 ?
Haha...can't believe someone noticed.
Yeah, it's a different hair cut. I shot that scene a while ago and use it because it's a consistent section most of my videos have.
You definitely don’t need to replace the battery on the V8 every two years. Mine is two year’s old and it lasts long enough.
Good to know. Do you use it daily? And is the runtime almost the same ?
Christian Jansen Yes daily use along with monthly filter washing.
I tested the battery on MAX mode with the Direct Drive motor head and it lasted for 6min41sec. But weirdly it lasted only 6min25sec with crevice tool.
The charge time is way less than 5hrs as Dyson claim, it’s actually between 3hrs35min to 3hrs51min. I tested this myself.
That's good to know. The 2 years is a fairly conservative estimate (I didn't want people to be surprised if their battery didn't last that long). Since Dyson covers the battery via the warranty for the first 2 years, that seemed like a safe estimate.
Modern Castle Yes perfectly understandable. There are cases of battery failure within the two years.
So your only basis for this claim is the length of the warranty????? And what type of battery chemistry does the V10 use?
Just fyi, as of July 24, 2022, the v8 costs only $50 less than the v10 in Canada. (Not $200 as you mentioned)
how would you compare the Samsung powerstick 8000 to the V10?
I haven't yet tested the Powerstick 8000, so I cannot say for sure.
However, based on a quick look at the specs / features, the vacuums do look similar.
The cordless Dysons are battery limited, kind of like a bottleneck, they only run for several minutes (6-8 minutes) on high setting. The V10's 60 minute battery run time claim is when it's on low setting in which is only 15 airwatts suction power and no power attachment used.
At 3.12 you have to mention thqt you have to take apart the entire shaft to empty...
Excellent point.
Not take apart, just detach the long shaft, that's it. One move.
I have a V8 and mine did come with both types of rollers.
Only the V8 Absolute comes with the soft roller brush.
The v10 has the same fitting so use the v10 fluffy head on the v8 it’s the same fitting
Why didn't you compare noise levels? My experience in a demo was the V10 had a higher, whiny pitch compared to the dulcet V8.
My apologies for that. I had originally intended to, but forgot to shoot that clip.
I do agree, the V10 is a bit higher pitch than the V8. I personally didn't find it annoying, but I some might.
In terms of total noise level, both were similar. The V8 was a touch quieter at 73 dB and the V10 was 75 dB.
What about suction power between the two, an important concept that was missed
Sorry, John. I don't know how we missed that.
Here's the data:
V8 max suction = 115 AW
V10 max suction = 140 AW
You can find the data and more comparisons of all the V-series vacuums here - moderncastle.com/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/dyson-v6-vs-v7-vs-v8-vs-v10/
Thanks for clarifying the overly convoluted Dyson lineup of vacuum cleaners...
You're welcome!
What I would like to know is what is the runtime on med with the motorized head and runtime on med without, v10 + air watts on low v8, air watts med v10
I've got a sort of busy day tomorrow, but I'll run these tests either Sunday or Monday and get back to you with an answer.
Hey MK VT - I was able to run these tests today.
The V10 on medium power with the Torque Drive brushroll attached lasted for 29 minutes.
The V8 on low power (since it only has low and MAX mode) with the Direct Drive brushroll attached lasted for 32 minutes.
As far as air watts go, I do know the V8 at max is 115 AW and the V10 at max is 140. However, I'm not sure what the low and medium settings are.
I got the v8. $120 less than the v10. Excellent product
How much was it for?
Is there a scientific comparison of suction power for all the modes, with and without motorised attachments? If V10 were to last up to 1 hours but with less suction power than V8, it would be pretty pointless. How about the noise?
I don't think that data exists. Currently, I don't have a way to measure at that level (but it's something I'm looking into).
Dyson's stated max suction for the V8 is 115 AW. And the V10 is 140 AW.
As far as noise goes, we do test that.
V8 on low power is 73 dB. V10 on low power is 75 dB.
What maintenance price per year for v8?
Around $32 / year, though it really depends on how often the battery lasts you (ie, how you use the vacuum.)
If you replace the battery every 2 years, it comes out to $32 / year.
If you manage to get your battery to lasts 4 years it's only $16 /year.
The filters are lifetime and washable. So no need to replace them unless they are damaged (which really shouldn't happen).
I’ve been going back-and-forth trying to decide between the V8 absolute and the V10 an absolute. I already own a Dyson upright vacuum that I use for my carpet I’m looking for one of Dyson’s stick vacuums for my hardwood floors and the stairs with that being said I was leaning more towards the V8 just to save money but I’m not happy with the 5 hour charge time (if that’s correct) then I watched your video and saw the maintenance costs so it may be smarter to get the V10 and appreciate the 3 1/2 hour charge time what do you think? Also right now I can get the V8 for $384 vs the V10 $553 both absolute models which one would you purchase for stairs and hard wood floors ?
If money is no object, the V10 is objectively the better machine. No question.
Both the V8 and V10 are great vacuums.
Since we're so close to it...I'd recommend just waiting for Black Friday. Whichever vacuum has the better deal, go with that one.
Modern Castle I ended up getting the V10 Bestbuy had it on sale for one day this past Say for $553 do you think that was a good deal?
@@Pmason718 Yeah, $553 for the V10 is a solid deal. It might be a little cheaper on Black Friday (maybe $500'ish), but probably not that much different.
Modern Castle Do you really think it will be that much lower? Even if it is I have 45 days to return it so if it it’s lower than $500 I will return it and buy it again if it’s around $500 I won’t sweat it
@@Pmason718 I'd say there is a decent chance, but it's hard to tell exactly what a manufacturer will do for Black Friday.
I just got a v10 absolute and it’s unbelievably amazing. I am still shook two days on 😂
Nice! I'm glad to hear you like it so much.
I still absolutely love it 😍😂 no complaints. The bin is bigger so u don’t have to empty is as often as the smaller ones. N it’s so easy to empty.
@@cheekykitten25 That's great news!
It really is a cool vacuum.
We use the V10 and V11 around our studio and office constantly.
In fact, we use the V10 or V11 to reset our testing lanes (because their suction is so powerful it gets stuff that other vacuums we are testing sometimes miss).
Sounds like max power mode is about the same though?
Max power on the V10 is 140 AW.
Max power on the V8 is 115 AW.

Thanks for the info. Are you aware of the time that it will last on the new medium setting and how that compares to the V8?
Not currently, but I am going to test that tomorrow.
Hey TCOLL - So I ran these tests today.
The V10 on medium power with the Torque Drive brushroll attached lasted for 29 minutes.
The V8 on low power (since it only has low and MAX mode) with the Direct Drive brushroll attached lasted for 32 minutes.
Thanks. Couldn't find anywhere else how long it lasted on medium.
I only notice his hair changes from short to long. shocked. i thought i was seeing wrongly! And it just cant get off my mind.
Lol - Sorry, I do occasionally need to get hair cut.
Didnt mention the boost time, v10 can last 30mins wheres as the v8 i think is 15mins and v10 has a max boost that can last upto 7 minutes according to you tube tests although they state 5minutes
Modern Castle, I don't know if you mentioned this already, but since you own both vacs, can you tell us how long have you had each?
I have had the Dyson V10 since it launched earlier this year in early March, 2018.
I don't actually own the Dyson V8. A friend of mine received a brand new Dyson V8 for their wedding recently. They let me borrow it for a couple of months to put it through all of the tests and day and day usage.
V10 batterie lasts 15 years...?!?! Does the Dyson V10 come with a manafacturing garantee for the life of the battery?
Otherwise words are not worth the paper there writen on.
The V10 has a 2 year warranty that covers the battery.
@@ModernCastle thats true, but 15?
@@sash_N That's what James Dyson says.
As the V10 has only been out for 15 months, there is no absolute way to say for sure.
Only time will tell.
The run time on the V10 is so much longer than my attention span.
is the v-10 better than the best ion battery shark
We are actually just finishing up Shark IONFlex DuoClean Flex 2X review this week.
Our initial indicators are that yes, the clenaing performance the Dyson V10 is better than the Shark IONFlex. We'll have a more complete review on ModernCastle.com later this week.

Yes, they are. More info here - moderncastle.com/dyson-attachment-guide/

Got v8 open box for $259 yay ?
As long as it's in good working shape, includes all the accessories / parts, (ideally) includes the warranty, then that's a steal of a deal.
350 euros v8 absolute or 450 euros for the v10 absolute ? thx
Personally, I'd go with the V10 Absolute. I think it's got enough added power and features that it's worth the extra.
It's the Shermanator!
Lol - I haven't heard that one before, but that's pretty good
I'm a proud V8 owner for 5 months now, not intending to switch to V10 becos the bin looks smaller than V8.
Nice! Glad to hear your V8 is working out. If you already have a V8, I'm not sure I'd recommend getting the V10 (maybe just the new torque drive head, which will work on your V8 as well as the V10 that it's designed for).
However, it is worth noting that despite what it looks like, the V10 does have the larger dust bin.
V10 dustbin = .77L
V8 dustbin = 0.54L
So get the V10
Does the V10 animal have a lifetime battery as well as the V10 absolute?
V10 Animal is the same battery as the V10 Absolute

can I buy another instruction booklet?
There is a lot of cheap after market battery for Dyson that can actually have more capacity than the original one....
You are correct. You can find them here - amzn.to/2OFhHF9

V10 Motorhead come with V8's old style head, not the new one, that's why V10 motorhead is cheaper
That's correct.
The V10 motorhead also is slightly lighter (5.5 vs. 5.9 pounds), does not include the mini dusting brush, dust not include the mini motorized brush roll, does not include the fluffy cleaning head, and has a slightly smaller dust bin (.53L vs. 0.76L).
I recently added a comparison table between the motorhead vs. animal vs. absolute for anyone else that may be interested.
Hi, I appreciate that you try to make videos for the differences between the v8 and the v10. What I do not understand is the difference between the battery of V8 and the v10. Both are the same except for 1 cell (6 vs 7 cell) and also Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum battery technology in both machines. Only the dyson director has expressed his opinion on the fact that with normal use the v10 will still have 80 percent capacity in 15 years. Will that also apply to the v8? I think so, but that is no longer interesting for marketing purposes.
In addition, you compare two different motorheads. Why do not you put the fluffy on the v8, which are interchangeable. My experience with the v10 is that the hair of my girlfriend is very stuck on the black rubber. More than with the v8, they fall out very easy. And the power of the v8 in minimum position (28 airwatts) is about comparable to the medium position of the v10 (33 airwatts). Think the V8 is a better buy for now in terms of price / quality ratio. Keep it up, is of course appreciated.
Hey Christian,
Thanks for your comment.
Regarding the battery, this is an area I still want to do more research into. I'm trying to get in touch with a battery expert who can weigh in on the specifics of each battery. I don't know enough about the different batteries used to say if Dyson's 15 year claim is legitimate. But, it would seem reckless of Dyson to make such a claim if it was entirely untrue.
Regarding the models, I actually have the V10 Absolute and a V8 Animal. Initially my thought was to not use the V10 fluffy head on the V8, so it wouldn't cause confusion if performance differed compared to the V8 with the V8 fluffy head. That said, I think you make a fair point. I'll see if I can do a quick updated test this week sometime and see what sort of performance the V8 yields with the V10's fluffy head attached. As I mentioned in my contextual review (and I think the video also), I expect the V8 with the fluffy head would score close to the same as the V10 did.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. Thanks!

Wauw thank you for your response. I am indeed very curious about the battery differences. Both are great machines :)
My pleasure!
Indeed they are. It's really hard to go wrong with either.
It's a INR20700A, 30A high power draw lithium cell (I believe it is made by Sanyo in their Taiwan factory) - Yes - V7 and V8 has 6 cells and V10 has 7. No, the cell in the V10 is not different than the ones in V7 or V8. Cycle time is around 800 for the battery - meaning that after 800 cycles, battery capacity drops to around 70-80%. Because Lithium Battery lifetime increases slightly with low voltage charging - Dyson intentionally has a very low charge current, even though they "could" top the battery in under 60 minutes.
Is it purely the fact that the V10 is a 7 cell battery the reason it lasts around 20 minutes longer than the V8?
Do you happen to know why the V7 battery doesn't last as long as the V8, if they are the same battery?
Thanks!
Had to google inches convert to centimeter....
The V8 has a higer suction on low speed, it is smaller and is more comfort to manuver than the V10
I dont quite understand how you can claim its a "no brainer" to get the v10. The v10 costs $200-$250 more than the v8 yet you conclude because the cost per battery replacement of the v8 if split per year (if battery diminishes within the 2 year claim) of $32. It negates the initial gargantuan entry fee differences between the two and comes off misleading. The way I see it and many middle class consumers should see it is if you don't have a very large home to clean with pets that can benefit from the just over 10min longer battery of the v10, buy the v8 and deal with the small differences in the bin chamber design. I wish you would of concluded that all the Dyson wireless vacuums should be separated amongst there battery lengths per each consumer needs. The v10 is not supposed to be the iPhone 10, while the v7 or v8 is the iPhone of the past. They all work nearly identically and will provide one of the best wireless vacuuming experiences on the planet right now.
Thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate your perspective.
To clarify my own perspective, and why I think it's a no brainer...it really just comes down to the annual maintenance costs.
The V8 Absolute is $500. The V10 Absolute is $700. So we have a $200 difference.
However, the annual maintenance costs on the V8 are $32 / year vs. $0 / year on the V10 (on account of the battery). So that means the breakeven point on the initial cost difference is 7 years.
7 years of maintenance on the V8 will cost (on average based on the estimated battery life) $224. So if think you'll have either vacuum for 7 years or more it's better to pay a little more upfront for the V10.
Either way, there are assumptions and estimates that have to be made. I am assuming what Dyson is saying about the V10 battery is true. I am also taking an estimated 2 year battery life for the V8. If the V10 battery doesn't last as long, the V8 battery lasts longer, or the V8 price drops, then it may change things. But as it is right now, I think the V10 is a better choice due to the maintience costs.
When you factor in the other differences (larger dust bin, longer run time, slightly better cleaning performance), then it becomes even more clear, in my opinion.
Hi,
Could you please upload comparison LG VS8401SCW vs LG A9MASTER2X vs Dyson V10 please
Thanks
so basically no difference, and any differences were from the fact you weren't comparing comparable models. great.
What do you mean by maintenance cost?
Maintenance costs are the costs required to keep the vacuum in good working order. On the V8 and V10 they really only include the cost to replace the battery when it dies(given the estimated life time for that battery vs. the replacement costs).
Maintenance coasts are wrong !
Is it ok to keep the dyson vacuums charged all the time ?
I am not certain about some of the newer models, but I know for sure that the V6 should not be plugged in all the time. If you do so, it will dramatically diminish the life of the battery.
As a general rule, I would advise unplugging when they are charged and not plugging in until they are fully drained.
It is worth pointing out that Dysons can hold their charge for a fairly lengthy period of time (I've seen my V10 hold for a couple of weeks).
Modern Castle Got it. Thank you so much. This video is very useful and really well done.
@@suni308 You're very welcome. Thanks so much for your kind words :) Glad we could help.
Wait your the mattress guy.
Yep, you are correct.
Your forgetting that you are supposed to change the Hepa filters on Both of these machines yearly
According to Dyson, you don't need to replace the HEPA filters. Just wash them with cold water and air dry about once per month.
Both filters are lifetime washable and don't need to be replaced unless they are lost or damaged.

I should get the v8 animal, not the v10 Motörhead ...zzzZZZ I need the vacuum heads
Do NOT buy it unless ready to subscribe for annual battery replacement at ca. 1/4 of the initial cost! Battery warranty is only 6 months compared to 24 for the machine and dealers refuse free of charge replacement citing the exception, although battery and motor are the 2 main components (remaining is basically plastics). My battery died at month 11 after 50-60 cycles of regular home use, although the dealer said it should last for 500-600. Replacement was still refused.
What country are you in?
Within the US...and just about everywhere else as far as I am aware, the warranty DOES cover the battery for a full 2 years.
What about pet hair ???
Both the V10 and V8 are good at tackling pet hair. You should have no problem.

Extremely basic review. The price premium for the V10s is crazy.
Price the V10 is down about considerably at the moment - amzn.to/2RtJw38

When emptying to V10 you'll need to remove the wand assembly. You should have mentioned that. Also, wear socks.
That is true.
As I've mentioned in other comments, the fact you hve to remove the wand didn't feel like a big deal to me...mostly because I was still removing the wand on the V6, V7, and V8, as leaving them attached while emptying the dust bin was far more cumbersome.
But others could find that fact annoying.
Lastly, you'll have happy to know we have some ModernCastle.com socks we wear in future videos.
I think he has the wrong picture of the animal and absolute

I just double checked the thumbnail, you are correct, they are both the Absolute models in the thumbnail image.

Yeah... fuck no... I'd rather buy myself a refurbished Kirby Heritage 2 that I could pass on to my children's children or for something modern, a Miele U1 Maverick would be a MUCH better choice.
