Seach KZbin for "Dyson V10 Reliability : Battery failure at 18 months." This is the single most important video you must watch as a dyson owner. Basically the video says that you should not charge the vacuum immediately after your usage session, instead wait for the vacuum to cool down for 30 to 45 minutes, then charge it. The video goes into how to set up a timer to automate this process.

*Works great and is lightweight **MyBest.Tools** Comes apart for cleaning/fits back together easily. It replaced my carpet shampooer. Great on hardwood as well.*

Which vacuum cleaner are you using?

[@jamesx2703]

But after a year the dyson battery will only last 5 mins and you wont be able to do you whole house 😂

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Great job guys loved the gadget before I emigrated . Nice to see a comparison like this . Not that I’m a Dyson fan though I gave reviewed other brands that impressed me

[@jankantor2539]

Okaaaaay Craig. Kryton would be proud of you :). Stay well and healthy. Nice show

[@DeanoEssex]

Why compare a battery stick to a wired vacuum? It's a bit like compairing a bicycle to a motorbike..

[@NumaticVacuum]

Because people are using them for their entire home and replacing their traditional mains powered cleaners for the battery powered versions. It’s just not good enough. They are okay for quick clean ups but not for a proper clean, you need a traditional mains vac for that.

[@dathyr1]

It kind of depends on how much you want to spend on a Vacuum. Dyson Vacuums are good, but they are so damn expensive. Also depends on what cleaning jobs you need done. I have no pets and only 2 carpeted floors, So my Shark APEX does a great job for what I need and would rather have corded than cordless. I dont need a Vacuum that can suck up ping pong balls through a keyhole. Again it is up to the individuals needs on which is right for them.

True, but the V15 costs a lot more than that Shark...

[@dxtnguyxn4179]

@@haridaspillay v10 is quite cheap for its performance and battery life.

[@KING0SISQO]

I was interested in the v10. But I can’t justify the price considering the v11 and v15 models make it “old”. But I got the exact shark model for nearly 1/3 of the price of a v10. My decision is based on the fact that it’s not perfect and seeing the shark so the same test and doing an equal and better in other scenarios because the v10 can’t take in bigger bits. Shame because I’m a dyson fan and rate them. This shark is my first shark.

[@oot007]

v15 costs $1400 and limited to 60 min. Take 5 hrs plus to charge. Shark stick vacuum costs $339.

[@ZaxbyYouxef]

I have many shark vacuum cleaners and there great

[@David-wp2iw]

I have dyson v7 i guess, and one huge problem is that it does not suck pieces and instead splashes them around.

[@LostTouristOfficial]

Get the fluffy head attachment

[@MR_G92]

I have a dyson v10 absolute and I have a shark 702... the sharks just as good and I don't have to worry about its battery failing or running out in 20 minutes everytime i use it. The sharks cord is very long also so I don't have to move plug sockets often

[@theresa_sprinklr]

@Mike - sounds like the Shark is more convenient in that you don't have to keep recharging it. All in all, do you have a preference out of the two?

[@MR_G92]

@@theresa_sprinklr I prefer the shark hoover. It's also easier to empty in one go

[@rickren3696]

Glad are chose the shark one with a much cheaper price than Dyson. Battery is always a critical problem for cordless vacuum cleaners.

[@sbomorse]

The Dyson V8 is pretty poor nowadays, but NOTHING comes close to the V11.

[@chaunceystewart9960]

The v10 comes close to the v11 and at half the price of the v11 where I live.

[@sbomorse]

I actually have the V10 myself and although I'd like to own the V11, the V10 is so good it doesn't really warrant the upgrade at the moment

[@mainsource8030]

[@003General]

@@TheGrudge28 you are Talking about the Outsize Model.

[@jamster2400]

These tests are meaningless. If simply changing the diameter of the hose would allow a vacuum of low suction to pickup more weight .

[@ummerfarooq5383]

2kg vs 5kg is a no brainer. Edit: hold on a minute, this ain't no fair fight if the dyson needs a full charge!

[@MONi_LALA]

There's another test, when actually in use, how weight is distributed. Even with low weight, dyson have most of their weight on the handle when Shake put most of its weight on the ground. So it's more tiring with dyson.

[@blakaeg]

Actually, the pick up performance is determined by a number of factors, including the amount of agitation! Suction or just Air Watts alone does not clean without rotating brushes. What I dislike about this video is that they are using the Dyson in Max mode! Dyson do not recommend using their machines in Max mode as it does not do the battery any good and it degrades the battery over time! The Dyson gives only 100 Air Watts when on Max for 6 minutes and only a very low Air Watts on the regular mode. The Shark requires so much maintenance and is messy to maintain. These are ideal to be on the gadget show as they are just that.

[@mainsource8030]

these are old models as well, the new dyson v15 has 230 aw on max mode

[@stumpusMaximus]

Well if dyson didn’t recommend using it in ‘max mode’ then why did they give it a ‘max mode’ button. I have a dyson and a ‘max mode’ never needed to use it yet in 2 years. But it’s still there to use. Bit like giving a car 7 gears but saying only use 6… Max mode is for a ‘burst of power’ when needed. It’s not for continues use. Obviously. Where’s as on a car 7th gear is great for motorway cruising 😂

[@mollymurphy999]

Krypton’s hoover attachment smashes both of these

[@liambryant1767]

That looks like Cabot in Bristol !

[@SBTRIS]

After 2years my dyson battery was probably half of its initial capacity, and needed constant declogging, and filter cleaning. Probably spent equal time maintaining the vacuum as I did actually using it. Not paying that price again... 😒

[@oot007]

Dyson are the Apple of the vacuum industry. You pay extra $$$$ for the style and name.

[@noodles9749]

Ditto, had the same problem with our V11 but Dyson have been dreadful fixing the problem. Customer services are useless 2 months on the problem is still not fixed, swapped the battery and still not working. 3 times they were due to collect it and 3 times no one turned up. Will never buy a Dyson again. Better off buying a brand new shark every year and it would still be cheaper.

[@vacuumtests9225]

Nice video! Dysons are good, but way overpriced. Buy second hand and you can get good value for your money. I still enjoy my DC40 MKII. It cost me 100€.

[@DredgeTom]

Of course not the v7 is not a replacement for a mains powered vacuum. It’s an addition between weekly deep cleans. If you put the test up against a dyson that was meant to replace a mains powered vacuum being the V10 - V11 or V15 you would see that it not only out performs the shark by a long way but has all the added benefits of a cordless. On top of that the sharks filtration system is a hepa filter and a sponge… verse the Dylan’s that is a filter that filters down to 0.3 microns from the dirty and dusty floors you’re vacuuming. The filtration is a massive part to consider. You literally put the most under powered, and not a replacement for a corded vacuum, dyson against a mains powered vacuum. Not quite a fair test, also as I use both of these vacuums almost daily the bun capacity’s are much more different then shown. You are meant to slightly exceed the max fill line on a dyson (being about 5-10mm over), where as you didn’t even reach the max fill line on the V7.

[@Paradox1P]

4:04 ayooo what

[@sdcraig]

I dislike my Shark cordless. Suction power is pathetic.

[@TheSpeedfreak665]

Yes I tested it out in Curry's store and it wasn't as good as a Dyson.

[@KING0SISQO]

@@TheSpeedfreak665 I agree but suction power isn’t everything. It still needs to do the job properly. I’ve seen cordless shark beat corded dyson that has significantly more power than its cordless ones. And it does a better job doing the same tests. There’s countless videos on KZbin showing that. Despite been a fan of dyson. I’m trying a shark this exact model actually. Finding this video was a coincidence cos it was just in recommended and it didn’t state the model it was testing. But I think based on other user reviews I think I haven’t made a mistake.

[@paultasker7788]

Ironically we have a corded Dyson and have just got a cordless shark. The shark is much more convenient and actually picks up better. Pine needles were not it's strength but for general purpose it does very well.

[@mugz_1437]

Have both brands myself and the shark is the much better vacuum without comparison. Not sure if you notice but after 12 months the Dyson gets worse but have seen no issue with my shark and it’s 22 months strong

[@lizzielein777]

Here the same. After over a year the Dyson starts to have several issues. I am going to get a shark now and hope it will be better. 😊

[@theylied1776]

That suction test isn't accurate. The 35° angle of the Shark's suction tube compromises the test.

[@jackmccourt6180]

Yeah tube diameter would affect it too...

[@smoothie9931]

But thats what it has... so it is accurate. It is what it is

[@theylied1776]

@@smoothie9931 No, it's not an accurate test compared to a vacuum that doesn't have the exact same angle. That would be like testing a Volkswagen Passat hatchback to a turbocharged Toyota Camry hatchback.

[@smoothie9931]

@@theylied1776 not really. If the hose has a bend in it by design, that's as accurate as the test is gonna be. It has the suction that it was tested at, even if it doesn't fully show the suction of the motor. If the results are lower because of the bend in the hose... you still have to use those results, since the bend is part of the design

Chalk and cheese scenario, the Dyson is cordless, the shark is Corded , both are great in different ways, convenience I’d go Dyson, longevity of lifetime I’d go Dyson, dust separation I’d go Dyson , the shark isn’t as good dust separation and is less convenient however lower price and no risk of battery going flat is in its favour.

[@andrewdunn8259]

Shark is better than Dyson, I used to have a Dyson the same one here but now I have a shark battery powered it is heavy but it's so much better. And to beat all new parts is a whole lot cheaper.

This isn't even the latest Dyson though; you tested a 5 year old machine against the latest Shark? The V11s can run for an hour, have a runtime indicator and have a really effective anti-tangle tool for long hair

Ha! Anyone that’s used a modern cordless dyson will know how much of a game changer it is. Is the gadget show really recommending that shark over the dyson? If anyone is confused by the result here... I would just like to say you most likely will not need to clean a cinema any time soon.

[@adrianaditu7102]

[@blake031299]

I've used the newer shark and quite frankly I loved it. The duoclean with zero m is a must. You don't have to choose between the regular head and the fluffy roller like the Dyson since it has both and hair doesn't catch. Its a lifesaver and makes it so much easier to switch between carpet and hard floors. Plus you don't have to deal with all that battery life nonsense and waiting for the battery to crap out in a couple years

[@ra55575]

@@blake031299 yeah not having to change heads is cool but i know for some people there’s huge satisfaction in the technicality of using the different attachments.

The Dyson he is using is rubbish. I bought and sent it back. My and friend also purchased this and sent it back.
