Dyson V10 Konical Review (2026): Affordable and Solid

It'll besides beryllium compatible with Dyson's caller docking station, the Auto-empty Dok, hopefully retired aboriginal this year. Only the V10 Konical and the V16 Piston Animal ($980) are presently slated to enactment with it.

Comparison Game

What made maine similar the Dyson V10 Konical truthful overmuch was however good it did successful my investigating rounds. I tested it with soil and cereal connected rugs, followed by litter connected hardwood, and past carpeted stairs and bedrooms. It did amended than galore Dysons successful its wide score, beating the V15 Detect, V16 Piston Animal, and V8 Cyclone with its score.

My scoring criteria ran 1 done 4 connected 5 tests—sand, feline litter, Cheerios, wide vacuuming, and handheld mode—with 4 representing the champion show and 1 being the lowest. The V10 Konical walked distant with a 14 retired of 20, portion the V15 came down it with a 12 retired of 20. The V10 came successful 2nd wide retired of 5 Dyson vacuums, with lone the Gen5Detect beating it with a people of 17. The V10 pulls up of the Gen5Detect if you're looking for add-ons, though, arsenic the V10 volition beryllium compatible with Dyson's self-emptying docking presumption that volition merchandise aboriginal this year.

While testing, I was peculiarly impressed with however good it picked up soil for its little suction power, and it did a large occupation sucking up an intentional messiness of Cheerios I created. I was little impressed with the hard level results, but since the V10 doesn't enactment with the Fluffy Optic caput similar Dyson's high-end vacuums, it was ne'er going to beryllium arsenic effectual arsenic vacuums that tin power to a caput made for that surface. Still, it's not bad—it was inactive capable to vacuum up the litter I scattered connected hard floors arsenic a test. It conscionable needed a mates passes alternatively of a azygous walk to get it all, and it didn't shove it into a heap similar the cheaper V8 Cyclone did. The V10 does good successful handheld mode and connected carpet and rugs, and it felt a small easier to propulsion astir connected a low-pile rug than the V8 did with its Digital Motorbar head.

Overall, I'd urge this vacuum if you're acceptable connected a Dyson and person a location afloat of mostly carpet and rugs. It's a amended bargain than going for the cheaper V8, and I recovered it a amended all-around acquisition than immoderate of the much costly Dyson vacuums retired there. I inactive wouldn't telephone it amended than the Shark PowerDetect, but if you're acceptable connected a Dyson, this is the champion bargain connected the affordable extremity of Dyson's scale.
