Another Dyson fan here.

 

We have a corded vac and a v8 stick at home; and a v6 stick-vac in the apartment.  All excellent.

 

The v6 is good for about 35m2 of carpet before it needs charging/emptying.  The v8 is good for about 50m2 of carpet.

 

In the house we tend to use the corded unit downstairs and the stick upstairs and on the stairs.

 

I find it difficult to believe the v10 stick would do a whole house - the bin is only 40% bigger and it runs for up to an hour on the lowest power setting.

We've had a DC41 for years and last week the internal hose had split. Replaced it with a 10 Absolute +.

 

I had reservations - but have nothing but praise for it. Carpet in our bedrooms seems to cling on to fluff and cat hair and even the DC41 in its prime needed a couple of passes to suck it all up. The 10 manages complete cleaning with one pass.

 

Battery - finding about 60 mins run time on low power (I've only once or twice needed to move briefly to full power for something stubborn). I did a test on med and low and got about 30 and 10 minutes respectively. The wall dock is great and super easy to use too.

 

Weight - I had concerns about the weight, but needn't have. The unit is perfectly balanced when using with the floor tools and extension and isn't tiring to hold at all. A lot of the weight is bourne by the floor tool. Gets a little heavier when using without the long extension (to do stairs etc) but is still easier than manoeuvring the long hose on the DC41.

 

Attachments - more that I'd ever know what to do with!

 

The replacement part for the DC41 arrived yesterday and I fixed that - did a side by side test (very unscientific - just emptied the vacuum onto the floor and cleaned it up with both machines) and the 10 still performed better.

 

So no hesitations in recommending the 10.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
