Dyson V10 Animal Handheld Vacuum

I had to replace mine because the battery was bad. The replacement seems ok, but DO NOT LEAVE IT IN MAX SUCTION MODE. It will only last 5 minutes or so in this mode.

On the normal suction, even with the end spinning, the battery lasts reasonably long.

Same here. Paid $30 more less than 3 weeks ago.

I’ve seen trigger locks for under 2 bucks on sites like Temu. You turn a little lever and it’ll keep it powered on for you.

Woot is the poster child for impulse buying and pretty much everywhere offers some sort of price match.

I purchased a refurb nearly three years ago. It turned out to be our favorite among the three different brand vacs we own. We purchased a wall hanger from Amazon that accommodates all the accesories that makes it easily accessible. No complaints at all. Fairly light weight, easy to swap accessories and very good baytery life. Definitely recommend.

I also got mine for $40 more in January, it didn’t work out of the box but Dyson sent a replacement part pretty quickly and I’m happy with the vacuum so far.

I bought this back in January, too. It works great! I haven’t had to deal with any long hair tangles in the brushes, which has been a lifelong vacuum struggle. My 4yo even thinks it’s fun to use. Let’s hope he doesn’t grow out of that.

It’s available refurbed on the Dyson website for $229 with a one year warranty, instead of six months.

My GF bought this on woot almost 2 years ago, when she finds out she gonna want that woot credit everyone’s talking about!

But seriously I bought a v8 on here 4-5 years ago & the battery stopped working within 3 months but Dyson sent me a new one very quickly and I was very happy with the support.

According to this forum search results the Dyson V10 had a couple clearance sales 7 to 14 days ago and the previous 24hr sale which had a lot more sold appears to be 19 days ago which is past the 15 day price match period. :person_shrugging:

OMG! People. Do you all scream at the gas attendants when prices go down/up? Milk? Etc.

For $30, you got to use your dysons three weeks before this sale. You were the lucky ones.

I bought one of these new from Costco a few years ago and the battery does the same thing on max mode.
Also you can get a 2 year square trade coverage on this for $22, worth it imo.
Some of the pros: It is easy to operate, lightweight, CORDLESS, easy to empty the canister, agile with turns, really sucks, fits under things. It’s just easy. It really makes vacuuming less effort compared to a heavy corded vacuum.
Some of the drawbacks: canister is small and with one sheddy dog I have to empty it multiple times when I vacuum; weight distribution/location of handle can be a tiny bit awkward when using it overhead; I frequently accidentally turn it on when I pick it up due to the location of the power switch (I guess I have big hands).
If I had any reason to get another one of these I would, it’s a good price. It’s selling new for $400 (after $100 off) at Costco now.

We have a V7 version and 2 of the V8 version. All have had battery issues after the refurb warranty. More frustrating is that Dyson was out of stock for replacement batteries for over a year, and they’re $100+. Kind of makes this deal look a lot better than just the battery. It’s a shame they didn’t make the battery easily removable so you could have a spare for longer runtime. And the knockoff batteries on Amazon were dismal with short runtimes and lives.

No it’s not

Wonder if this is a new battery or used battery. Would suck to get a refurbished one that has less than half the battery life…

You know you can use the same vacuum in more than one room, right? Why would you spend $1000 on three dysons at the same time?
