If you have a pet, that malts hair, you NEED this vacum!

published

We have a long haired White Shepherd, who we love dearly, but malts hair like no other! The Dyson has been a game changer; it actually picks up the hair off the carpet and trust me we have tried multiple! Its easier to use and makes vacuuming daily a treat not a chore.

Purchased in May 2021 at David Jones Retail Stores for $900.00.

Could be better. But heavy for ladies, doesn't suck properly.

published

Parket and carpet
It's too much strong to vacuum on the traditional silk rugs, too risky, don't do it
Not to bad but it could be better
Don't let hair stay in for a long time, otherwise it's gonna blow up the vacuum

This vacuum is a must have if you have pets!

published

I purchased this as for my bedroom carpets as my French bulldog loses so much hair and cannot believe how well it sucks up hair that sometimes you cant even see with your eyes. After vacuuming my carpets look like new. It is also excellent on my floor boards, can't believe it didn't buy this earlier.

So handy and so powerful

I’ve owned a Dyson vacuum before which was great but the V10 is absolutely fantastic. Suction is so strong and it glides so easily over carpet, wood floors and tiles.

V10 Battery Fail after 2 weeks

published

Our V10's battery failed 2 weeks after purchase. During a call to Dyson's customer service group I was advised that under consumer law batteries are regarded as consumables and as such not covered by warranty however Dyson are prepared to offer a replacement at no cost........after 2 weeks are you kidding?

Dyson Vacuum V10

published

Just purchased this item from JB HIFI. Very satisfied with this vacuum. I have been depressed over other vacuums before not providing enough suction to eliminate unwanted dirt on the carpet. This product exceeds my expectations.

Over engineered

published

Vacuum works great, however cleaning the filter is too burdensome. After a month of use the filter light came on so I removed the filter and cleaned with water and let it dry for 24 hours per the manual instructions. After installing the filter the unit ran for ~ 1 second and shut off. I called customer service and they instructed me to wait for another 24 hours for drying. After 48 hours the unit still would not run. Called customer service again and was instructed to let dry for another 24 hours. After 72 hours of drying the unit operates normally. Recommend Dyson provide a spare filter with new units. I believe it is unrealistic to expect the customer to wait 3 days before they can use the vacuum after cleaning the filter.

Purchased in May 2021 at Amazon for $500.00.

Great suction but short battery life

published

The suction on this is great. Swept up so much cat hair. I had no idea so much was ingrained in my market. I have to mark it down as when it is on full power the battery only lasts about 10 minutes. I will use the low or medium suction next time otherwise I won't get much down before the battery goes.

Its a Dyson

published

Have had a dyson DC44 and have moved to a larger home and the battery did not last long enough so it was time to upgrade. Looked at the LG stick but decided to go with the original and best the Dyson. As we have cats we got the animal. Has some great attachments the came included. Now if I could just get someone to use it for me (HaHa)

Great suction power

published

I have found the auction power on the V10 is amazing. The battery lasts a good length of time, and the filter is easy to remove to clean. I like the new design change for emptying the bin, finding it pushed everything down so you don’t have to manually scoop pet hair out like previous models. I find the opening mechanism a little hard to use though. Other than that, I highly recommend this model.

Useless on hardwood floors

published

Absolutely useless on hardwood floors. Just pushes tiny objects you're trying to vacuum around. Contacted Dyson, no option for a hardwood head, we'll need to buy the absolute for that. Another $999... No thanks. Gave 2 stars as it is useful on carpet.

Love My Dyson V10 Animal Vac

published

I have four Australian Shepherds which are indoor/outdoor dogs. They constantly shed hair. I recently bought a Dyson V10 Animal cordless vacuum with attachments. I had googled reviews which were great only bad thing was length of vacuum time. Well, was I surprised - I vacuum at least every two days because of the dogs and dust (I am on a farm). I have a five bedroom home with lounge/kitchen/dining/bathroom which I generally do all rooms - and still only charge on average once a week - as I use lowest setting. It is super easy to use and fast (no cords to plug in every time). Easy to empty (usually I need to empty twice each vacuum). I absolutely love it!

Never had a vacuum that sucks up so much dirt/dust!

published

Works very well on carpet, I’m always shocked at how much dust/dirt is sucked up! Very good in an asthmatic household. Also works well on tiled floors. Easy to charge, and battery life is quite long for a handheld vacuum.

Great machine, best Dyson we have had

This machine is light and has great suction, it’s less stress to use than older units, it’s great on tile surfaces as well, we still Can’t believe how much dirt this unit gets out of the carpet.

Questions & Answers

Joyce Y.asked

Cyclone V10 Animal

The dust cup fills to the full line on one side only. Is it normal that it fills unevenly like this? I empty it when the one side is full as i don't want to overfill it. This vacuum is only two months old

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

When dust enters the bin it is spun out of the airflow. At the bottom of the dust bin there is a plastic baffles to catch the dirt/hair/fluff and keep it down. If it wasn’t going to be caught, this debris would keep spinning and negatively affect the performance of the machine.

The way your dust bin fills depends on a number of factors, primarily the type of dust and dirt, and also the speed in which the particles enter the dust bin. If the majority of your debris is smaller, such as dust particles, sand, grit etc, it is more likely to evenly fill the bin bottom to top (think like a glass held unevenly under the tap).

If more carpet fibres, hairs threads etc are sucked through the machine, the fibres can catch onto each other as they spin through the dust bin. The baffle at the bottom will catch them, and they will tend to bundle together and build up and out from the one spot.

We hope this has satisfactorily answered your query today. If we can be of any further assistance or further information is required please email our Dyson Experts on [email protected] or call us on 1800 239 766. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am - 4pm EST.

While it may be slightly stiff when new, we certainly wouldn't expect the bin of your V10 machine to be hard to release.

Please give our helpline a call on 1800 239 766 with your machine handy. Our Dyson Experts are available Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am - 4pm AEST.

We look forward to hearing from you and assisting.

Cyclone V10 Animal

I just received mine and I’ve only used it once. When it’s fully charged, it only works for 5 mins before it stops and the light indicators are telling me it needs to be recharged again. Please help. It’s brand new!!

take it back to where you purchased it. you have 30 days to get a refund.

Dyson Team ..Dyson

To confirm, the V10 has three modes of suction; Max, mode two and mode one. With the motorised head attached the machine will provide up to 35 minutes on mode one, 20 minutes on mode two and 5 minutes on Max. Without using a motorised tool it can run up to 60 minutes on mode one, 30 minutes on mode two and 5 minutes on Max.

You can find a video explaining these modes and how to switch between them on https://youtu.be/mWElDYPJMBo.

We hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please forward your details and a link to this question to [email protected]. Our Dyson Experts will only be happy to help.
