The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute is a strong contender if you’re looking for a cordless vacuum that doesn’t compromise on suction power. It delivers suction similar to a corded model thanks to its advanced cyclone technology, which keeps suction consistent by efficiently trapping dust without clogging. With up to 60 minutes of battery life on Eco mode, it’s well suited for cleaning a whole home on a single charge, and you can switch between three power modes to balance runtime and cleaning strength.
The vacuum is lightweight at 2.6 kg, making it easy to carry and manoeuvre around furniture or upstairs. It comes with two versatile cleaner heads: the Motorbar is great for deep cleaning carpets and handling pet or long hair without tangling, while the Soft Roller head is designed specifically for hard floors, picking up fine dust and debris from tight spaces. The dustbin capacity of 0.77 litres is decent for a stick vacuum, reducing the need for frequent emptying during bigger cleaning sessions. The filtration system is cyclone-based and bagless, which helps keep dust contained and is easy to clean. Some might find the noise level of 87 decibels a bit loud during use.
Being cordless means you don’t have to worry about power outlets or cables, but you should remember to charge it fully for longer tasks. This Dyson model is suited for those who want a powerful, portable vacuum that works well on multiple floor types and includes helpful accessories, making everyday and deep cleaning a simpler experience.
The Dyson Ball Animal UP32 is a corded vacuum designed especially for homes with pets, offering powerful suction that helps pick up pet hair and dirt effectively. It features a washable cloth filter, which is good for capturing allergens and keeping the air cleaner. Since it’s corded, you don’t need to worry about battery life, and the 50-foot total reach means you can clean without frequently unplugging and moving to different outlets. The dustbin is quite generous at 1.2 liters, allowing for longer cleaning sessions without emptying it often.
It weighs nearly 10 kg, which might feel a bit heavy and less easy to carry around, especially on stairs or if you need to move it frequently. The vacuum comes with useful attachments like a motorized cleaner head, a tangle-free turbine tool for hair, and tools for stairs and tight spaces, making it versatile for different cleaning tasks.
If you want a powerful, reliable vacuum with strong pet hair handling and don’t mind the weight or cord, this model fits well. For those who prefer cordless convenience or a lighter option, this might not be the best pick.
The Dyson Ball Animal Multifloor is a corded vacuum designed especially for homes with pets, featuring a powerful 730-watt motor and a design that automatically detangles hair, making it easier to clean pet fur without frequent brush blockages. It uses a HEPA filtration system that effectively traps allergens and fine dust, helping to keep the air cleaner—a significant benefit for those with allergies. Its dustbin capacity is 1.8 litres, approximately 60% larger than its predecessor, reducing the need for frequent emptying during larger cleaning sessions.
Weighing around 10 kg, it is heavier than many stick or cordless models, which might make it feel somewhat bulky when carrying up stairs or maneuvering in tight spaces. However, the vacuum's ball technology enables relatively easy steering for a machine of this size. With a total cord reach of 50 feet, it offers unlimited cleaning time without concerns about battery life, appealing to users who prefer consistent power from a corded vacuum. The included accessory kit enhances its versatility for cleaning different surfaces and hard-to-reach spots.
The noise level is moderate at 79 decibels, which may be noticeable during use. This vacuum is well-suited for those who prioritize strong suction and thorough cleaning in pet-friendly homes and are comfortable using a heavier, corded model instead of a lighter cordless one.
