I'm in the market for the Dyson V10 Animal.
Any good deals on them at the moment?

I have it and love it! Life changing with 2 small kids and a hairy dog. I can send you a 10% off power city voucher...show at till and pay €405.

cintec

is the Dyson V10 Animal the same as the dyson v10 absolute without some attachments?

Muahahaha

With these cordless Dysons is there any way to charge them just using a plug and a wire or are you locked into the wall mounted unit?

Also how many minutes of operation are people getting off a full battery? Is there any noticeable degradation in battery life after a years use?

I don’t have mine mounted. I just charge it with the plug. I wait till battery empties before charging.

On max power I get 7 minutes....which means I vacuum all downstairs and half the stairs going to 1st floor.

On minimum I think I get an hour but not sure as I never use it on this setting.

Muahahaha

Thanks Millem. How many different power settings do they have? 7 minutes isnt much but is there a setting with good power that will get you 20 minutes to do the whole house in one go?

7 minutes is loads because once you have your hand off it it turns off....if that makes sense?

I have a V8. I find my battery is as good as ever after 2 years. I only run out of battery if I'm doing a major clean on the car. The attachments are great for the car.
I never do the whole house in one go. I do downstairs or upstairs. I now do my hoovering more often. Little and often I suppose.

I gave my big hoover to my sister as I never use it.

the wire slots into the wall mount, if you dont mount it, you can just use the cable and plug in

v8 last about 25mins on max, or a clean of the car with the attachments which use up more energy
2 years old, good as new

Was in a store on Saturday looking at these and guy there who is very knowledgeable told me that Max power is really only for ingrained dirt like a biscuit that has been stepped on and in the carpet. He said that normal power is more than adequate for normal use!

Gets a few people bringing them back cos battery gone after 10 minutes on Max when that setting is not really intended for prolonged use!

I've a V8 and I use it mostly on max. TBH guys in electrical stores are generally full of sh1t and will say anything to get a sale.

I would agree that max power isnt really needed for most jobs.The normal settings will do a perfect job for the normal vacuuming of floors imo .

V10 will last around 50mins on normal setting.

That may be so in your experience (and I've also met some of those who knew nothing about the product they were trying to sell) but I actually know this guy and he is very honest in his recommendations.

I've a V8 and very seldom need to use the max setting on it. It does almost pull the carpet up, but it cuts the battery life to about a quarter of what it is on the normal setting.

Just got a V10 (still in the box) and I have seen a video on how Wash the Soft roller cleaner head brush bars .

I am just wondering.
does the Brush bar last for many years or has to be replaced after a few?
