The inner geek in me very much appreciates the white board behind the vacuums 🙂

Thank you for your thorough analysis of runtime vs power across the different models

Thank you for the comparison. I just got the v10 and now I got the idea what setting I should use.

I plug my Dyson straight into the mains outlet, it's lasts ages. Great video, BTW!

Thanks for another great video

Great info, thanks for sharing! I just converted my V6 and V7 to using my DeWalt 20V batteries and seems great. I also most recently related uploaded a video detailing my custom hack to be able to use V7 attachments on the V6 since technically, I still need to repair my broken cyclone part on the V7 since arrived broken... though no big deal... just need to complete.

Great video! Fair review very helpful!

Excellent explanation, great breakdown of the differences. You made something a little complicated, super clear. Thanks for this video!!

WOW such great video. Well done !

Thank you for the video. It was useful, but it made me hard to think with which should I go and buy.

Great job ! What would you suggest after battery charging is complete, remove the power cord from the outlet or to leave it plugged in, Thanks for your work.

Love this! Thank you!

On the V6 the crevice tool has small homes in the end on either side. Can you tape over these to obtain a little more suction ?

Great video, just subscribed! Any thoughts on the BISSELL® Pet Hair Eraser® Upright Vacuum vs. the Dyson Ball Animal 2? I'm dealing with medium pile carpet. Mostly cat litter and cat hair. Only have carpet in main basement area and one bedroom. I'm open to other vacuums too if you have thoughts.

Hi Nigel, I was wondering if you are planning any more reviews of handheld vacums? I would like to see you review some of the budget models such as the VAX slimvac and Hoover freedom cordless, and how they size up against the dyson/shark more premium models. Thanks for the videos, your attention to detail is second to none

Nice use it the board. Very informative thanks.

Wonderfull, i thought my v8 is weaker on low compared to my v6 . Now i know better. Thank you

Very useful! Thx!

Nice presentation . Appreciate the side by side comparison. Interesting to note that Dyson will promote the V10 by saying that you no longer need your corded vacuum since the V10 is as powerful. But they don't tell you that it is only as powerful as a corded vacuum while on the high suction setting and for only 7 minutes. Nevertheless, they do work well and are convenient to use. Great video !

I just bought the V6 for $200 and I'm glad I did because the v10 doesn't really perform that much better when it costs around $700 here in Sweden. Not going to spend $500 more for a couple of more minutes of run time.

My V6 ended up only run less than 5 mins.what should i do ...?

Thank you we are going for the v8

Well this prevented me from contacting Dyson about my battery on my refurb V8. I got 10 minutes on the powered head and thought the battery needs a replacement. Now I know I set a record for longest use time. Dyson sells refurb models on eBay for under $200. Same warranty, perfect condition.

very good and informative videos, keep it up :)

Is the v10 low power mode any good in real world use. I’m finding it hard to decide between v7 and v10

Great video, very useful. Thanks!

Can you please review Xiaomi roidmi vaccum cleaner

Really don’t understand whey they don’t have a quick switch out battery. Should clip out and have a spare on charge dock

Hi how is Hitachi stick vacuum cleaner is good I will provide model if u can check PVXEH900 and u can compare to dyson which is more useful

Thanks for this! Does the V10 charge exactly the same as the V6? I like how it’s a matter of simply plugging it in rather than having a bulky recharging stations. Thank you.

Thank you for doing the hard work for us, I can now make an informed choice. However I'm not sure they are worth the $ considering the battery life and possible replacement. My priority for wanting a cordless Dyson is so I can clean on demand, after my dog and other everyday messes. In a busy home it's not always a once a week job. I would probably use it daily and only for a short time, is this going to cause the battery to degrade sooner? Good question someone asked - are replacement batteries expensive if indeed they are replaceable?

Very interesting informative video. I have just got a 2nd hand V6 , and just bought a new battery for it, albeit more powerful than the one it replaced. Be interesting to compare the new battery to your figures. Was disappointed at the length of charge time, 3.5 hrs!

After few years of usage when the V8 battery will become less efficient. Can we replace the V8 battery with V10 original battery?

So according to this I might as well just buy a V6??? It seems nothing got better when they made the V7 and V8 except for the empty bin function.

The Air Watts is a bit disappointing. CFM really is the only, or at least the most valuable factor by far.

Also forgot to add that the battery run time becomes less the more you use the machine or as the battery naturally ages. Max will make it duff very quickly.

I j got the v8 absolute extra, it’s light but it’s taking sooo long to recharge

Thank you so much for this video. I finally splurged on a v10 cyclone animal and paid $450 for it to only find out it worked for a few minutes before the battery died. Some lady that has a cleaning and organization video on KZfaq said she cleans her entire 4000 sq ft house with it and does not have to recharge. I thought I got a defective vacuum. I did not understand that there are low, medium , high power settings. Plus why is there nothing to hold the power button in place. I find it super annoying having to hold it down the entire time. I feel like Dyson pays a lot of you tubers to promote their product, they all have a code and get paid if you end buying it. IDK...I’ll see how it works over time. I wish Tesla made vacuums. I bet 5heir battery would hold a charge for a reasonable amount of time.

I got a brand new V8 total clean and I only got barely 2min on max mode. I don't think that's Normal I am considering returning it

I kind of knew it, without knowing it...That`s why I bought the V6 (On offer 199 euros) :)

I did a big house clean up with a SEBO X vacuum. Cleaner and no way would any of these Dysons of done what the SEBO could do continuously for hours and more suction and large hygienic bag.

Great

My several years old V7 has two suction levels, high 20+ mins and max 6+ mins run time. Most important, clean the filters regularly. Dirty filters may cause you to think you need a new battery...

So the love child of Mr. Rogers and Patrick Bateman does vacuum reviews. Nice.

Dont forget though, these figures you obtained from real life testing, are all obtained from machines with new batteries. The nature of rechargeable batteries is that as they age, and are put through more and more recharge cycles, they lose performance, and are not able to hold as much charge as they did when they were brand new. After 500+ recharge cycles (500 weeks if you use it and recharge it fully once a week, or 166 weeks if you recharge it 3 times a week, or just 71 weeks if the machine is fully discharged and charged up every day of the week), the batteries can often become so worn, that they simply stop being able to hold a charge, and run for only a minute or less despite being charged for the full 3 - 5 hours, and in this case, they must be removed from the machines and replaced. Some batteries may run for much more than 500 charge cycles if they are not used on MAX much of the time, and thus dont get as hot as they do when run for a full 7 minutes on MAX. The way the machine is used, how often it is fully discharged and charged up again, and whether its run on MAX for most of its life, will bear heavily on how long the machine is able to perform to the official run time specs, and those machines that are used pretty much every day, in a large house, with pets and several people living there, will obviously require more frequent battery replacements than a machine that is only used once a week for vacuuming a small apartment with one person and no pets living there.

I try to use your information

little happy trees :)

Thanks for this comparison, the real world figures are extremely useful. I own a V6 and the only reason I would consider a V10 upgrade is the waste disposal method.Having to grope around the collection cylinder and manually pull out the compacted dust is a real PITA.

The V10 or V11 isn’t bad. First the battery will last longer with more settings. Second it should not need to be replaced. It’s a better value. These vacs are different 7 minutes on high believe me you can do way more in 7 minutes than you can with an upright. You’ll find yourself adjusting settings and power as you use the vac to get the job done and due to the maneuverability and no cord ultimately vacuum faster. I usually use high when I see a lot of debris. Then switch it. You really can’t compare these vacs to an upright. They do the job but they are a whole new breed. My vote is the V10 as the price is down and will give you the best bang for the buck. On a budget I’d get the V7. The V8 is probably the one I’d skip. I have a V10. The V11 is gonna be a great vacuum but in my opinion too much money and the differences are subtle. So to sum this up. Get a V7 if your on a budget. If you need time and want durability on the battery then the V10 or V11. The V8 really isn’t that much of an upgrade over the V7. The V11 is the bells and whistles so the sweet spot is the V10.

7 minutes? 7 minutes? I barley got my stairs done and thought I received a defective model because it shut off so soon. Good greif. Just double the battery sizes, or do something else. People trust that "reputable" companies will produce a product that doesn't offer disappointing features, so much of the technical information such as, runtime, get glossed over. Gheesh...

I have purchased over 5 different Dyson vacuums in all of my years ( some of the purchases were as gifts to family and friends ). Now, for first the time; I am having a problem with my current Dyson V8 ABSOLUTE. It now only runs for less 4.25 minutes in MAX ( it is still under warranty; date of purchase 13September2017 ). I keep my vacuums clean. I asked Dyson to just exchange it and if needed I would pay shipping. But, my reply from Dyson was NO. Therefore, I will clearly state this: DO NOT PURCHASE ANY DYSON PRODUCT. OH YEA !

How can the V10 have 35min on low if Dyson says it runs 60min? In another test videos, they tested 45-51min. But 35min is by far the lowest test result i ever hear.

6 MINS ON AN $800 VACUUM LMFAO..... KEEP IT....

P

We have v8, worst FUCKING MONEY EEEVER SPENT. Week after i bought miele blizzard, rhis battery appliances are total shit.

5 hour recharge-7 min working time (V-8) what a joke

Dyson rubbish….smh

Looks like they cut the reach length of the machine, between handle to bottom of brush, after the V6. Then started making later iterations incrementally longer. I wish my V7 was longer, like a V6. That's a strange design choice; shortening the machine and then starting to make them longer again. I think that Dyson are quite partial to the odd, strange design choice, here and there, though. Like giving the V6 a HEPA filter then removing it from the standard V7. And replacing the trigger with an on/ off button on the V12 (which was probably a change for the better, especially considering it's longer battery life) and then scrapping that idea and reintroducing the trigger, again, on the V15. Also, the powerhead on my V7 died because the power wires, inside it, that are very thin and unprotected, are allowed to run free and rattle about, inside the dust channel of the articulated joint and they got damaged and eventually broke, by being pinched too many times, in between the moving parts of, said, articulated joint. I discovered it when I took the non functioning motorhead to bits and saw all the pinch marks in the bent wires. You'd think they would have them shrouded with SOMETHING, to protect them, if they were just being left to route through a channel in between a bunch of moving parts! Any more strange design choices or design faults and frailties, by Dyson? I would very much like to hear about them.
