> 3 dayThis Dyson vacuum worked great! I have long hair and it constantly clogs vacuums, but this vacuum didnt clog at all while using. It has a brush inside that helps it not tangle and clog. It is perfect for pet owners, due to the constant shedding animals do. I have two dogs and it sucked their fur up with ease. It comes with various attachments, so there is something for every area of the house. It is easy to empty the canister, but you have to be careful when emptying because the dirt and dust collected tends to puff up a little, so I hold it down into the trash can to empty it, rather than holding it above the trash can. The vacuum itself is a little heavy in my hands, but you quickly get used to it. I highly recommend this vacuum for anyone, regardless of if you are a pet owner or not.

> 3 dayGreat vacuum! It is marketed for pet hair, but obviously it vacuum everything else very well. Tip for longer battery life, try to use on low and medium suction and empty as soon as the canister is full.

> 3 dayAlright so I’m a believer now in Dyson! Before getting this Dyson, I could never justify paying the cost for a Dyson vacuum when there are other brands that are probably just as good. I’ll say this but Dyson leaves the competitors in the dust no pun intended. It’s pretty easy to put together, just a long bar to the main part and then an attachment of preference. There are 5 attachments and each one is easy to put on and take off. Maybe its the rollers on the main cleaner head but the vacuum actually grips the carpet almost pulling it up or at least it feels that way. Each attachment is solid but I like the hairscrew tool as it is compact but still powerful. Emptying it was a bit tricky at first but simple once I figured it out. I didn’t want to break the cylinder. It came with 2 bars of power and took a long time to fully charge to 3 bars. After using it once for about 15 minutes it went quickly down to 2 bars so hopefully there is no issue with the battery pack. Otherwise is it wrong to be so enamored by a vacuum? Lol. Great product!

> 3 dayOne of the best things about this vacuum is the attachments that come with it. I especially love the upholstery attachment, making cleaning furniture and stairs easy. The other attachments, including the crevice and combination tools, are also handy and make cleaning every corner of your home easy. The vacuum is also incredibly powerful, and I could vacuum most of my house on a single charge and at full boost. Its lightweight and easy to maneuver, which makes it ideal for quick cleanups or more extensive cleaning sessions.

> 3 dayWeve relied on a full-sized Dyson vacuum (one of their Animal versions) for the past nearly 16 years and its still going strong. Last year we started to tire of dragging it up and down the staircase, and of using it to try to vacuum the carpeted stairs themselves. So, we got a promising stick vac from another major brand and it definitely made things easier. But, the suction wasnt as good as Dyson, and, the battery life was a little disappointing after the first several uses. When I saw that Dyson had released a new version of their new generation of stick vacuum, this V10 Animal, I wondered if it could deliver where the other brands stick vac had fallen short and if it could deliver an across the board consistently good user experience. As it turns out, the answer is a resounding yes! Battery life is exceptional, suction is superior even on the lowest of the three settings. Turning it up to medium or high via the slider switch puts it into an entirely different league. Emptying the dust cup is easy, thankfully, as between the hair on the animals and the hair on the humans and the regular household dirt/dust, I have to empty it reasonably frequently. That doesnt bother me though, as the fact that its getting picked up at a rate that exceeds what the previous stick vac was doing is absolutely a good thing! Clearing any hair that gets stuck on the beater bars (the full-width one or the smaller upholstery one) is so much easier than older generations of Dyson vacuum beater bars. Huge improvement! Just pop open the side hatch and pull the bar out, easy peasy. Do carefully inspect the gasket/guide on the end of the beater bar (I had some hair get trapped in there that ended up holding some regular dust, too) before sliding it back in and closing the hatch. Subsequent vacuum sessions resulted in next to no hair getting trapped on the bar, so apparently it only took one pass with the Dyson V10 to get what the other brands model couldnt. Again, thats pretty impressive to me. As part of putting the V10 Animal through its paces for this review, I took the cup apart and washed it and its gasket separately, as that appears to be the most complex part of the user maintenance. Im pleased to report that with careful attention paid to how the gasket is lined up when it comes off, it is very much possible to put it back in place after everything has dried for a day. Aligning the gasket grooves uniformly into the hard plastic channel thats partially obscured by the hinge was the most challenging part and took me three attempts before I realized how it was supposed to look when everything was aligned correctly. Ooops. I should have paid more attention. However, once it was properly in place, then the lid closed smoothly in a way that it wouldnt do with improper gasket placement. So, if you have to go that route and remove the gasket for cleaning purposes, take pictures and pay close attention as you remove the gasket, and dont try to force anything when putting it back together. It will close smoothly when everything is properly in place. The more you know, right? Cleaning the filter cap/stub thingy was simple, with a basic faucet rinse and a 24hr drying period. So much easier than our many generations old Dyson. Just make sure everything dries completely before you reassemble it... a wet vacuum filter that gets used is one that youll never get the smell out of (if you know, you know!). Using this Dyson V10 Animal was so easy... really a revelation. Its super-light, it made cleaning the carpeted stairs easier than I ever imagined they could be, and it takes after low and medium pile carpet like nobodys business. The included ends and accessories cover all the bases for us. I appreciate that both the full-width carpet beater bar head and the narrower upholstery beater bar head are both powered, rather than the little one relying on bypass air to spin it (as our old Dyson does). Getting cat hair off the furniture is so much more efficient now too! The wall mount holds the unit itself to charge (with the main tube and motorbar cleaner head left installed) plus two of the low-profile accessories right on the wall, leaving only the two more-dimensional ends needing to get stowed elsewhere. I wish that a little pouch had been included for them, but there are 3rd party stands out there that can hold everything if we get frustrated or need to rearrange the room where its hanging. Based on the amazing experience with this V10 Animal, its going into permanent use! If practical gifting is your thing (and your intended recipients wouldnt be offended by such practicality), this would make a great gift! Its so darned useful and functional and its given me back part of my weekend routine to be used for other purposes. Hard to argue with that!

> 3 dayOkay, so this is my first cordless vacuum. And I LOVE it. The suction on it is great on any kinds of floors!! Dyson never disappoints. I actually ordered another cordless vacuum before this which was a bit cheaper and I thought I should save some $$$ but I returned that one immediately within 24 hours of receiving it. Also, I’m happy to say I can now retire my heavy vacuum and it’s cord lol. For reference, we have a 2-story house, 4 beds, and a husky with lots of “husky glitters” and this V10 cordless vacuum is a beast!

> 3 dayI purchased Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Vacuum as a birthday gift for my 79yr old mother. She admitted that she was not able to vacuum more than a few times a month because the effort of using her old vacuum wiped her out. Yeah, who gives a vacuum for a present? Well her reviews are in! Best birthday present ever. She says it easily vacuums the hair of her two cats, handles her old shag rug without jamming, and is easy and lightweight enough that she is using it every few days. Battery time is plenty long enough to cover the main portions of her 3 bedroom house and she also noted that it is BEAUTIFUL! I was concerned she wouldnt like the bag-less design, as she had a bag-less vacuum before and hated it. In this case, the ease of ejecting the contents over the garbage has been completely fine.

Greater than one weekMy dad likes that it’s lightweight, can be hung and most importantly has strong suction.
