Dyson V8 vs V10 - Which should you buy?

Should you buy the V10 or the V8? In this video we compare the Dyson V8 and the Dyson V10 and highlight all the differences. See the V10 Absolute on Amazon: amzn.to/2yDJ7mZ
See the V8 Absolute on Amazon: amzn.to/2ENSMgl
Read our written review of the V10 vs V8: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Dy...
We discuss the popular models of each series and show what is included with each different model. We report on the difference in batteries, suction power (air watts), and battery life (run time). We then do battery life tests and compare them to the factory figures. We highlight the filtering abilities of each machine, the different means of emptying the dust canisters, and we test the noise levels (decibels) in different power modes using a digital noise level meter. Cleaning performance is determined via rigorous testing on both carpet and bare floors. Tables are provided showing cleaning performance for each vacuum side by side. We provide the weight in lbs for all models of V8 and V10 and also report on approximate costs. Finally, we sum up our findings.
I would also like to point out that I make every effort to be unbiased in my videos. If there is something about a product I do not like - I will let you know!

FINALLY someone who just reviews a product and doesn't try to be funny. I don't come here to be entertained, just educated. Thank you for your hard work!!!

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Thanks Steven.

[@thepotoko]

Seriously, I would watch this guy review anything! Great video!

[@l.s.1014]

Steven Serrano I did a similar review and I agree. Just straight forward

[@chenyizhang9551]

agree...also he used many teaching strategies all teachers should do in classrooms too!!

[@GothicDragonX]

Vacuum Wars is another channel with good reviews that doesn't try to be funny and very educational info/reviews

[@pocketmarrow]

Can't overstate how much appreciate the straightforward numerical comparisons and visual demonstrations. Was feeling overwhelmed trying to sort through all the options and your videos helped me feel confident in deciding the V8 is the right model for my needs. If only all reviews were this concise making big purchases would be so much easier! You're the best vacuum review man!

[@davidgandelman3981]

The guy is amazing. Should be a full time teacher/ professor.

[@kellyerickson3112]

I have spent far too much time researching these vacuums and watching videos! However, I must say your video's are clear, concise and extremely helpful! Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into these reviews! Much appreciated!

[@YS-cu6bf]

This is amazing. Being a teacher myself, I have to say you have a soothing voice and a super clear logic to explain things explicitly. I love watching your videos! Thank you!

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Hey Yaran. Glad you stopped by to watch!

[@JamesCorbett]

This was probably the most comprehensive and useful review I've seen anywhere on KZbin. Thank you!

[@simonm8586]

A well thought out & thorough review. Finally not some summary of minor differences you mostly see. The V8 is the better buy.

[@buzzgates]

Thank you so much for this. Your review helped me immensely. After buying the V8 Absolute, I had buyer's remorse and almost returned it and bought the V10. Your video helped me conclude that I made the right decision. Thanks for being so thorough, clear, and informative. Much appreciated!

[@parjau4554]

Brilliantly helpful video that shows the differences between models in a very easy-to-understand format. Still pertinent years later. Thanks to whoever it was that decided to present it in this way.

[@patrickmarcoux8661]

Thank you for making a review of such high quality. I appreciate the effort that went into the review, and also the clear, precice and concise presentation. This gem of information will guide my choice of vacuum cleaner in the next days. Very well done.

[@mattr453]

Super helpful! Helped me decide! From other research I know the V8 is quieter but the V10 likely has longer-lasting battery technology. But, I need quiet most as I have a child who is extremely noise-sensitive. But you show that the added suction of the V10 is not a deciding factor, especially on quiet mode with bare floors (my scenario), so the V8 is the better value for me even if the battery wears out sooner. Thank you so much!

[@cathyh1309]

Your review is amazing! Thank you for being so thorough; it's just what I needed.

[@raghdaismail4757]

Which one is the best ?

[@Bre4458]

Thank you for your reviews, they are very thorough and easy to listen to. I just watched three of your videos; the likes and dislikes for the V8 and this video and I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to really showcase the differences between these products. Very good job, thank you.

[@dkhiker]

Watched this excellent review and picked up a V8 absolute at Lowe’s for $300. First Dyson for me and it almost is going to obsolete my $1500 Miele. Very well designed. I see a lot of clones talk about not having to hold in the trigger as an “feature” and I noticed you don’t even mention that in your reviews. I will say it is a tad silly because once I start using it my finger doesn’t come off the trigger. But it is so comfortable to hold and use I don’t mind the trigger thing at all. One comment on removing the wand to empty. That is true, no one would attempt to empty with the wand attached. But my wife likes to keep it configured as a handheld so removing the small attachment every time to empty would be annoying. So between that and the awkward release latch I feel they went backwards in usability with the V10.

[@sumand6830]

Finally -I too agree, I stopped researching anymore. Thanks sir for detailed explanation! Great that you spent your time on making this video, really helped alot. Not sure but onething I observed is, comparing with other broadcasters, your video is filled with sincerity and genuity.

[@sharonkellingray5091]

Thank you so much for producing such a clear and concise review of these two products. Explained all points so well. Helped me make an informed decision. Eagerly awaiting V11 versus V10 review. Help !

[@frank.zuijdevelt]

Thank you for all great reviews. We bought the v8 absolute pro. Very happy with it :)

[@JakeDrives1]

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. deserves way more clicks! I was about to order the V8 and was searching reviews.. Found your comparison and figured hmm maybe I should get the V10! Turns out I was right with the V8 all along. Thank you!

[@curlyhairerin6755]

Are you saying you found V10 is a lot better? I am trying to get V8 or V10 now.

[@rimantas1975]

Thank you for honesty. All what we need is more reviewers like you 👍🏻

[@stevelawrence6147]

the only thing I would add to your very professional video "well done" the battery life for v8 is around 2 years the battery life for the v10 is the life of unit. With the cost of a battery makes the life cycle cost of the v 10 less.

[@blurayffan66]

...just bought a V8 Absolute today and I am SHOCKED at the amount of extra dirt it has picked up compared to my old plug in Zanussi! I actually went to the store to pick up the range topping Bosch BCS122GB which was 50 euros more expensive at 399 euros. I liked the idea that it comes with 2 batteries and it looks better than the Dyson. However, the weight immediately put me off. The Dyson rep also threw in an extra set of tools so for 349 euros for the complete Absolute PLUS the extra set of tools I think I got a decent deal. The performance of both models seems comparable but the deal breaker for me was the hard floor roller head that comes with the Dyson. All my downstairs is hard flooring and it works perfectly on the low power setting. I didn't even need to use the High power setting upstairs and on the stairs which is all carpet and comfortably cleaned entire 1150 sq ft house on 1 charge on the Low setting. The weight of the Bosch, and the omission of a specific head for hard floors drove to to the Dyson. I used to laugh at the Dyson commercials when the show you all the dirt it picks up I thought it was fake. I'm a believer now and a very happy Dyson owner!

[@WowUsernameAvailable]

Thank you for a detailed review! I love the nerdy charts :) Also, your voice is super pleasant to listen to and makes taking in information easier.

[@bahamaruX20A]

Thanks for a informative and thorough review. It has all the information I’m looking for in one video! Great stuff!

[@isabelladelatorre6827]

OMG! Thank you so much for your videos!! You answered all of my questions and helped me make a final decision about my purchase. Much appreciated!!! Excellent work!!!!

[@surething412]

Straight forward review. None of the fluff. Thank you.

[@jdkayaz]

This guy provides a detailed comparative analysis of the V8 vs. the V10. I have been well informed and can now make an educated decision about which one I'll buy. Probably the V10. Thank you for your terrific job!

[@H_a2006]

Terrific?

[@spearleaderlifestyle]

What an amazing, thorough and on point review! Thank you so much. Made the decision easy!

[@DavidG2P]

Best review ever! Only difference that you didn't mention is that the V8 has two filters which you have to clean separately, whereas the V10 has both filters conveniently in one piece.

[@gcs9851]

Hi! Ur videos helped a lot in making up my mind as to which model to go for. It was so clear, precise and gave the answers to the questions that i had which the dyson cc themselves dont give. Thank u !

[@bonedown202]

Thank you so much for the detailed review. I bought the V8 Absolute Pro on a black friday sale. I think I wouldn’t really need the higher max power on the V11. Very happy with my purchase on a much lower price with better low power mode.

[@gokselemre5940]

After watching your review, I bought v8 abs yesterday, battery life is enough for 3 big seats and 8 carpets (totaly 60 meter square) lastly car seats cleaning, thank you for documentation. This is the most price performance gun for dirty carpets.

[@kesleychan8963]

That is really informative and useful!! I was struggling between v8 and v10 and I made a very informed decision after watching your video. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation and testing!!

[@eliadalirian6512]

Excellent review! Accurate and to the point! Thank you!

[@jaimeeianuari]

Thank you so much for this review/comparison. It was to the point, well articulated, informative and easy to follow. 👍👍

[@mishtijuno2945]

Thank you for your review! Ir's very informative in helping me to make my decision on which vacuum is best for my needs and budget

[@yannlepantrec]

Great review ever after one year. Made my mind between the two. Great job!

[@ShasheenShah]

Fantastic Review! Very helpful. What's behind door number #1 and door #2? All kidding aside... Thank you! You just saved me a couple of hundred bucks! Cheers!

[@jasonwhitton8106]

I just ordered the V8 on Dyson’s website, through their chat feature for 375 bucks after tax. I like the fact that on the V8, if the battery ever dies, you can order a replacement through Dyson, and it’s only three screws that you have to remove to replace it. Ordering on the website also let’s you choose one of three bonus tool kits, and the sales person offered me a free bag to hold the attachments, but I asked if they had the “flexi crevice tool” and he threw it in for free instead of the bag. Can’t wait to try this vacuum out! Thanks for the review!

[@siclmn]

I find it hard to believe how gullible people are. It is not if but when your rechargeable battery stops working. They all end up in the landfill. Lawnmowers power tools ect. I like to vacuum until I feel that something is clean. With a battery I would rush through the job and have battery anxiety the whole time wondering when the battery will die. This salesman got you to bite by offering you some free tools which you could have lived without. Who only vacuums for 7 min.

[@debbiewong2336]

Excellent review and very comprehensive!!! Thanks so much for your effort.

[@rossmcculloch187]

Great review, thanks for all the work you put in.

[@ellieaz2442]

Thank you so much for this thorough and informative review. My question is , Does central vacuum have more suction than dyson ? My concern is for house with dog. Thanks again

[@ukaszparfianowicz7420]

i am so happy that have came here having an oportunity to watch profesional, full detailed review. nice, clear, calm and well pronaunced understandable english (i am not english speaker). great job!!! now after i was really confused which one should i buy after your video i can make my bet:) greatings from Poland.

That's pretty sofisticated and impressive. I wouldn't expect too much engineering in vacuum cleaner review but I do appreciate it. :-) Thank you a lot!

[@thanhstorf9036]

Thank you so much for your detailed comparison. This video helps me a lot to decide, which one I should buy. You‘ve spent so much time to do this video and I appreciate that very much. Best regards, Thanh

[@Grace-jx4qn]

You give excellent reviews! Thank you. Very informative.

[@jbundy4898]

Thx for stats about Absolute/Fluffy mode = 98-99% on LOW power mode!!! We've always used MAX and maybe a nice idea to dial it down. Had the V8 Absolute a couple years, great for our smaller home (1250 sf) both carpet and hard floor. For us, the smaller V8 bin is fine -- and commentary about smaller bin easier to empty, and for your car makes sense (saw the V10 and not really a fan of the design... maybe its forward bin blocks your view a little, too?). Tip: as is the nature of things, batteries degrade over time and can be found on Amazon after 2-3 years can be had cheap!

[@CharitySpalding]

I know this video is a few years old now, but I’m currently trying to decide between the v8 and v10 and I’m so glad I watched your video. Very informative and clear. Thanks!

[@user-zu4bq6hh1d]

V8 & v10???

[@gabomcav]

Now this is what I call a great review sir! Thank you for this very informational video. Have a good one!

[@leannefok]

Your reviews are fantastic, really appreciate it, thanks!

[@Iwasthinking01]

Thank you, I appreciate the level of detail, and that the video is easy to follow.

[@dinailyuk6383]

Thank you! Loved this video, loved the charts!! Answered all my questions and made me decide which I wanted!

[@bhagbir510]

Great video I’m going watch all your videos so I make the correct purchase for my need around Black Friday sales :)

[@exerhlp]

Nice and helpful video! I liked the pick-up test a lot, but missed to see it with a fine dust, which is my major concern.

[@yisun1725]

Awesome review, so glad I got the v8 absolute because the software roller does work better. There is a bug price asking 330 before tax for v10 animal from amazon during Black Friday. I hesitate, and thank god I did not get the V10, I need the soft roller head.

[@AnthonySmith-dr6ft]

Thanks for the helpful video. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into all your reviews and comparisons.

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Thanks Anthony!

[@daniellee6796]

Hey VaccumAdvisor, i think itd be an excellent idea for your channel to consider creating a video that in some form lists the top vacuums in respective categories. i.e. under X$, cordless/cord, etc.

[@hemnathd6537]

You review is highly helpful and thanks for your time and effort to put this together.

[@suzanneott5371]

Excellent review. I just purchased the V8Animal on a special deal on QVC. Since the Animal V8 doesn't have the soft hard floor head, I was wondering if I needed to go to a higher model. I discovered I can purchase the bare floor attachment separate, so I've been comparing price and different model specifications. Your video really helped me to see, at least compared to the 10, I still got the better deal, even with purchasing the addition head. Also, the reason I was second guessing my purchase of the V8 is I already have a four year old V6 animal. But the upgrades and special price is why I went with the V8ANIMAL. Although some reviews are bad because of battery running time for all models of the Dyson cordless vacs, I can only clean so long anyway, since I have medical issues. Once again, your video helped very much in my decision process. Maybe the extra power in V8Animal helps the performance of the multipurpose floor attachment. Once I try it I might not even need the additional floor attachment. Thank you.

[@sofiadinh156]

Your reviews are very informative and useful - thank you so much. I now have decided to buy the V8 one.

[@raymondewe6733]

Thank you for your sharing, it's a good and comprehensive one which I couldn't find from others, keep up your good works, love this!

[@WithUsersInMind]

Amazing quality review boss. Love the way you are so close to the carpeted floor. So convincing I’m heading over to Amazon

[@PraveenSharma-gl9dp]

Excellent review. I love the way you compared them so logically!

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Thanks Praveen. I aim to be as logical and straightforward as I can.

[@Sebpv2006]

Really exhaustive review !! Kudos !! And it helped me a lot to take the decision !!!

[@venkateshpandiandharmar9183]

Thank you for your excellent work, very useful. One more difference I learned on another review on V8 vs v10 is battery replacement cost. V8 uses lithium ion which last less than the one on V10.

[@Parikchp]

This is a great video, just one video and i know what i need. Brilliant work Sir!

[@ElmerEDavis]

Your reviews are comprehensive and informative with excellent presentation. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your reviews. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers. Maybe those who vacuum don't use KZbin? :-)

[@MisterMooo]

I think people that have bought a V8 or V10 have already made up their minds

[@powderdescent]

Agreed. Not too many subscribers because you get the review, you choose and buy a vacuum and... thats it. until it breaks and you have to go through the process again. Who is really following the trends of vacuum reviews?

[@AS-fc3mk]

lol uv been sucked in, salesmen love people like you, bet you went out and bought the top of range model didn’t ya lol

[@nespressoman]

Me.

[@SharonOfTheRose]

Heck yeah they do, that's why there's so many cleaning and organizing channels! It's just that their viewers buy whatever the KZbinr is using instead of doing the research to see if it's actually the right vacuum for them.

[@jessicaparriott7320]

AWESOME & really greatly detailed review of both vacuums. Thank you!!!!

[@vitalypavlenko8141]

Thanks for the great review - it was really helpful.

[@carlas1836]

Thanks for the review. I thought I would mention that the battery life has since increased on these (in Australia). V10 = 60mins and v8 = 40mins.

[@1973superdad]

Great review, thanks. I went with dyson V8

[@emmanuelulloa68]

Great review ! Thanks for helping me decide on which one I need.

[@VacuumAdvisor]

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[@pocketjedi6675]

Hello dear Sir, I've been willing to buy a vacuum for the first time and I have some questions for you. If you Sir have a few minutes to answer, it would helped me a lot : - I have an apartment of 60m2 so would you advise me to buy a cord-free vacuum or a vacuum with a cord ? Because I heard that cord-free vacuums batteries tend to die with time. - Do you have an opinion about the "BISSELL MultiReach ION 18V " ? Thanks for your answers if you take time for it and in any case, thanks for your serious and non biased work !

[@ninadelfavero5109]

Thank you very much for an excellent review! Very helpful. So happy I found this!

You're most welcome. I'd love to review other products but I'd have to figure out how to cram more reviewing time into my days.

Great review. Might want to update it with current prices. The V10 absolute can be had for $515 on Amazon.
