I am also interested in this deal. Trying to decide between this one and the V10 absolute refurbished one on Ebay for the same price. I have brought refurbished tools before with good luck but not from Dyson. There are so many refurbished deals that I wonder about how well these units hold up and if it is wise to forgo the new warranty for the 6 month used warranty. Also concerned that CR drop their recommendation due to quality issues. Thoughts?

I am NOT a Dyson hater just trying to make an informed decision.

I have a few Dysons, one of which was a handheld refurb from a few years back that we use for spot cleaning around the house and for the cars and it's held up great. We picked up a V7 recently on a previous deal and gave the old one to the inlaws. I'm thinking there's a lot of buyers remorse with them which is why they end up with so many refurbs but have had no issues with durability / quality. Our canister Dyson is approaching 10 years old at this point

I was leaning towards purchasing the V8 over the V10 intil I saw the V8 battery lifespan is 2 years and a replacement costs $50. The V10 battery life is at least 15 years. I think the V10 is the better choice if you plan on keeping more than 5 years.

V10 is only 100 bucks more. I have both v8 animal and v10 absolute, and the v10 is quite an upgrade.

Best of both worlds with a little less battery life and 100 bucks less. It is a good sweet spot
I have the V8 and the V10 and like the V8 absolute better, so good choice!

I did a google search comparing those two exact vacs. I read them and looked up the prices of the replacement battery. There is no replacement that I could find for the V10 likely because it will not need replacing. They are two totally different batteries.

Here is a link to the page with the info I found. Read about the filter and the battery between the two.

This theory was debunked by an battery "expert" and later on acknowledged by the author.

"The battery information is slightly wrong. Yes, the V10 battery is larger because it has 1 x INR20700A 30A Sanyo cell more (7 instead of 6), but it is basically the SAME type of 20700-cell as in the V7 and V8. Dysons "15 years" life time claim is based on estimates on how the average consumer uses the battery. This is NOT to say that the battery of the V7/V8 would be much different as the technology is the SAME. The cycle time is about the same - 800 - but thanks to the extra cell, I'd say life time - increases maybe +15%. So comparing 2 years and 15 is a "slight" overstatement. I am a hobbyist battery-technician and not an expert but Dyson hasn't invented a secret Lithium technology that LG, Samsung, Sony or Panasonic don't know about."

Interesting. Good info. Thanks for reading into it a bit more than me. I was scanning several of these comparison pages. This changes things slightly for my decision as I am still unsure if the small benefits of the V10 is worth the additional $100.

I might have buyers remorse if I'd paid full MSRP for my V7 Fluffy ($400+?), but I got it for $200 and love it.

The V10 is kind of big/clunky by comparison if you ever plan to use it as a "dust buster" in the car or on stairs.

50 bucks more than the animal version includes a 180 dollar hardwood fluffy brush instead of the bristle Motorhead. If you have any hardwood it's the best deal. I'm still contemplating though, 300 is a lot when I can just use my broom instead lol.
