I bought the V10 this week, and quite love it, with 2 exceptions .......... The off/on button is too easy to accidentally depress it when not intending to. Also, in my opinion, the hand grip is too narrow for all fingers to fit comfortably. Considering the weight of the unit which is rather heavy, a "wider and padded" handle would make it much more comfortable to operate, especially for seniors with decreased strength in the hand & arms.

I have a V8 which I love. I left it in our winter home and purchased a V10 for our main residence. Both vacuums are so easy to use and very effective. The V10 is a step up but the V8 is also excellent. I cannot imagine anyone ever buying anything else. The engineering is superb. Dyson costs more than some of competitors models. However, you get what pay for. The additional cost is absolutely worth it. I forgot a piece of the vacuum in Florida on our return to Canada. The customer service provided by Dyson was outstanding. I cannot rate Dyson high enough.

I bought mine 2 weeks age and really like it . All in one . Has a light weight very easy to use with powerful suction. Before I hated vacuuming and now with this great vacuum I really like the cleaning my carpets. Very easy and quick. Thank you dyson.

I've had this vacuum for a month, and it's been an amazing investment. I love how it's lightweight and cordless, so I can easily carry it anowhere in the house. Great attachments too. I love that I can convert it to handheld with the upholstery attachment. My house has never been cleaner!

Bought it a few days ago and right away I put it to the test. —LONG REVIEW— First off, my old vacuum: Was using 7 year old corded vacuum that I had to dismantle (full dismantle with screwdrivers) a few times a year just to keep it running efficiently. It was cumbersome and heavy and I thought it was doing a thorough job. Was a hassle to clean the house with it. Compared to this vacuum, my old clunker was barely trying. The Dyson Animal V10: For the first clean I ran it hard, and I mean hard. It ran about 25 minutes on the highest setting, to be expected for the battery life. It pulled dirt, hair, dander… you name it it pulled it from the carpet. I just stood there shaking my head because I truly thought my last vacuum was cleaning as it pulled dirt too but, not like this. This Dyson is an efficiency king. The next run: I put it on the middle setting. Ran for about 40-45 min before it needed to rest/cooldown and recharge. In that time; I did the hardwood floors, kitchen, went back over the carpets, hallway, got the cobwebs out of the ceiling corners (couldn't do that with my last vacuum!) and again…. The amount of dirt it pulled up! All the hard surface floors I was sweeping the traditional way first then vaccuming with my clunker and then having to go back behind it with a static collection pad on a swiffer then mop. You get the idea…. Long and tedious. A task I could do once a week. With this Dyson, it's a daily spruce up now. Heck, it's going to reduce the amount I mop simply because of how well it cleans the floors! I swear it polishes them from how the brushes are on the floor. After this clean: (cleaning the vacuum itself) I read the manual and decided to learn how to clean the vacuum and set to task. No screwdrivers needed. It's easy to wipe out with a damp cloth, to clear the brushes with debris. All you need is a keyring, the metal ring itself to easily turn the dials on the two brush heads to release the brushes. The ease of cleaning the vacuum was not even comparable to my old one. The Dyson took me 10 minutes. Albeit I had to air out the filter after I rinsed it out which took a while. Just have to let that rest and I recommend having a fan blow air onto it so it dries faster. 3rd clean: Lowest setting, just a touch up. I thought I did an amazing job the past couple days but this thing surprised me still. The canister was halfway full of fur, dander, and things as I quickly took 15 min to do my house. This thing just can't be beat. On the lowest setting, it was still able to show me that it was working hard. Even when the previous two days I put it to the test and thought there was no way there was anything left, this thing proved me wrong again. Battery didn't even drop a bar on the display and it cleaned what my dog managed to shed the previous night. All in all: This thing is lightweight, easy to change attachments, and can't be beat in its efficiency of dirt collection and disposal. It's also easy to clean and take care of. After 3 days, my house is much cleaner. I do have to say though, this thing made me feel like I was living in filth and that I had never cleaned in my life. It put my Previous vacuum to absolute shame. All that time spent with my old one seems like wasted efforts compared to this Dyson beast. Alas; I have this thing now and sneezing less! Bonus: it's much quieter! My dog doesn't run from it anymore. He actually likes it! Con: one attachment I wish dyson would make for these, a hose attachment. Cause this thing would be amazing for cleaning out a car but it's a bit bulky to get under seats. In fact, a hose would help for any tight spaces. Just hold the unit on one hand and clean with the other with whatever other attachment you need on the opposite end of the hose. So all in all, this vacuum is well worth the price. 5/5. It does exactly as advertised.

I had the V6 for 4 years and it died so I got the V7 in April and it was very disappointing compared to my V6 so I exchanged it for the v10 Animal and it's incredible. Great suction and lasts for so long. I've referred 2 friends to get the v10 as well.

First, it does a great job of vacuuming as the suction is the best of all the machines I have used. The battery charge certainly lives up to the specs written. One most impressive was the fact the motor head brush doesn't wrap hair and strings, they end up in the bin. There are some corners around the handle that are a bit sharp and cause some discomfort after 30 minutes or so.

I used this a few days ago for the first time and love it! My carpets look brand new! So much dirt came out, you'd think it had been months since I'd last vacuumed instead of a couple of weeks (my old one broke). It is so easy and light to use, the canister is easy to empty. I can't say enough positive things about it!

The Good: The vacuum unit itself is exceptional, with excellent suction, ease of maintenance, run time, and insofar longevity; it competes well with your average full-sized canister vacuums, which is truly impressive given the size of the Dyson. The hype, on this front, is valid. The Bad: However, the well-built central unit is let down by tools and accessories with components made from fragile, heat-molded plastic. Essentially, only the mechanical drive components are made from metal (I think), but everything else is plastic. While Dyson boasts that the main machine body is made from "ABS Polycarbonate" (think: riot shields), the smaller components seem to be made of high-density polyethylene or similar material. Our smaller motorized head unit suffered a breakage in the head-to-guard joint, which should not be the case for a relatively new, seldom used part. The use of brittle plastic in such a high-wear area by the spinning rotor seems at best poor design, at worst planned obsolescence. I understand that full-metal construction is a thing of the past, but "full-plastic" construction is not a viable alternative; some components need to be metal, full stop. The Ugly: Unfortunately, warranty details are misleading as they apparently do not include the tools, and nowhere in the warranty documentation provided was there a distinction between "tools" and the "unit." While I understand that normal wear-and-tear is to be expected and therefore not covered by warranty, I am disappointed with the craftsmanship of a really expensive product that utilizes non-durable heat-molded plastic for high-stress areas, specifically around moving joints. The concern is that having both motorized head units break renders the unit unable to clean carpet or furniture fabric, reducing 90% of its utility, and will cost you ~$200 extra to purchase the new motorized heads. In closing; a great unit overall, but my confidence in the product is let down by the fragility of the core tools and some of the convenient language of the warranty provided. Either warranty everything you produce or make it clear that the warranty only applies to the literal vacuum itself.

I bought mine about a month ago and found another nice looking cordless similar to the Dyson. So, because the price was less and had the features of the V12 I thought I better try that one too. It was pretty, but the suction was not as good, it did not maneuver around corners and edges smoothly, nor did it clean rt to the edges of walls. Still can't beat a Dyson. Well worth the money. My new Dyson does the carpet wonderfully as well. It can do my 4 level split and 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms on less than one charge. I did not need the boost at all. The only thing I struggle with is detaching the canister from the stick.
