Dyson V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Refurbished) EXPIRED

Thanks - just grabbed one

Battery on high lasts 10-20 minutes. There's no back up battery, and it takes 3 hours to charge. This is better for an apartment with hardwood, not a large home with pets. It will take you 3 days to clean your house. The canister also fills up quickly. There's a lot of tradeoffs here for cordless.

I thought the same when I first purchased this and then I realized that this is mainly for spot cleaning and not clean the entire house, that's the dyson ball's duty.

I'm sure anyone who is considering buying this has put some research into it but here's my experience so far:

I just bought this off the Dyson website about 2 weeks ago. I only have carpet on my stairs and 4 of my bedrooms. I was able to vacuum my stairs and all of the bedrooms on low setting (which seems sufficient enough) without having to recharge it. I did end up emptying the canister 3 times in the process. This was a bit of a shock to me but I just chalked it up to my previous Shark vacuum not being very good.

I haven't used the fluffy head yet because I have a robot vacuum for my hardwood areas. I have cleaned up spilled spices (the joys of toddlers) but was too lazy to put the fluffy roller on. The regular roller cleaned it up great.

Overall, I'm loving this vacuum. It's so easy to vacuum my stairs now because of how light it is. It can go much further under furniture than my old vacuum. I also vacuumed my van out and there was a ton of attachments to choose from. I did read that the charger is not smart so when I charge it I set a timer and remove it or unplug the charger when it's full. I'm not sure of how true this is but I don't want to chance ruining the battery. People have also complained about the canister being hard to empty which is not the case for me. Overall, at this price I would buy this vacuum.

Does this come with any attachment? I can't find it in the description. TIA

Thanks! Finally got to pick one up.

Why such a range? What determines whether it lasts 10 or 20 min on high? 20 min will do what i need. 10 will not.

New vs a year old if you use is a few times a week. Battery life will deplete.

There's a high setting, medium, and low. The normal medium setting can vacuum for at least 30-45 minutes. I can vacuum the downstairs and stairs of our 3k square foot house easily.

The high setting will drain the battery fast, but the suction is really strong. I use it to spot clean.

I vacuum so much more often now because it is so easy to get it out and use. I vacuum the kitchen after dinner and vacuum the rug under our table after meals.

It's great. They are awesome for people with kids (and maybe pets. We don't have any pets).

What are you talking about? I have a 3400sqft home, although most of it is hardwood floor. I vacuum my entire house almost daily (if not every other day) with it on a medium setting. The only thing I don't like is that the canister is small, but it's definitely a major improvement over the V7 I had. I empty the canister every week.

Anyone recommend Walmart protection plan? $34 for 3 years

Dyson batteries in general are junk and deteriorate if you let them sit. I have a few older model V6 models and one was used a total of I'd say 20 times in 2 years and the battery last around 1-2 minutes in high.

I've learned if you don't need battery don't buy one as the trade-off is not worth it.

I tend not to buy them on new units but went for it hear for the peace of mind. Not sure if you can get cheaper elsewhere, but worth it to me.

I'll also be quick to pull the return trigger if I don't like the unit I get shipped.
