Cleaning your house has got to be one of the most annoying but inevitable things about being an adult, so if there’s a way to work smarter instead of harder, it can make a big difference. One splurge-worthy tool when it comes to cleaning is a Dyson cordless vacuum, which is a relatively painless way to keep your space clean, especially if you live in a smaller home or apartment, or want a vacuum that’s not a pain to take out of the closet for every single spill or mess (thereby more likely ensuring you’ll clean up said mess in a timely fashion).
Dyson’s cordless stick vacuums are lightweight, easy-to-maneuver, and designed for everyday use. For example, Dyson’s popular V8 and V10 stick vacuums weigh under six pounds, whereas the upright counterparts are bulkier and are over 15 pounds (and up). The cordless models can give you up to 25-60 minutes of vacuuming time depending on the model and power mode, conveniently convert to hand-helds, and have no cords to trip over.
You can see more about upright vacuums in our comparison of a few different Dyson vacuum models, including the V8, here.
What’s the difference between the Dyson V8 and the Dyson V10?
In addition to the number in the name, there are a few differences between Dyson’s V8 and V10 models. The V8 comes in two models: the Absolute and the Animal. The Animal is designed for home that has pets, but the only difference between the two models seems to be that the Animal is listed on Dyson’s website as Certified asthma & allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, though both vacuums have whole machine filtration and if you look at the AAFA website, both models are listed as certified.
The Animal is marginally lighter (we’re talking 5.63 vs 5.75 pounds though, has fewer accessories, and is slightly cheaper at full retail ($399.99 vs $449.99).

The V10 comes in three different models: The Absolute, Animal (currently out of stock), and Allergy. The accessories are all fairly similar, and they can also convert to a handheld, but there are a few key differences between the V10 and the V8 models. The V10 has a more powerful motor, with about 20% more suction and a more powerful Torque drive cleaner head, which has a motor inside the brush head. The V10 models also have a 40% larger bin (0.20 vs 0.14 gallon) and a slightly different design — the bin is in line with the vacuum wand, instead of perpendicular/underneath like the V8, and thus has “point and shoot” emptying.
There are three different suction modes on the V10: Suction Mode 1 for floors and carpets, Suction Mode 2 for additional power, and Boost Mode for deep cleaning. Finally, the V10 has a longer run time of 60 minutes, and a shorter charging time of 3.5 hours. All of these features lead to a slightly bigger vacuum but one that’s still lightweight, at 5.9 pounds, and a higher price tag, ranging from $479.00 (currently on sale for $379.99) for the Allergy, $499.99 for the Animal, and $549.99 (currently on sale for $449.99) for the Absolute.
Note the V10 Allergy has the direct-drive cleaning head and a 0.14-gallon bin, but the other features (e.g. the V10 motor and longer run time) are the same as the other V10 models. Here’s an overview of the V10 features:
- V10 motor with 20 percent more suction than the V8 one
- Three power modes
- Up to 60 minutes of run time, and a 3.5-hour charging time
- 0.20-gallon bin
- Point-and-shoot bin emptying
- Accessories:
- The V10 Absolute comes with two cleaning heads (soft roller cleaner head for hard floors and a powerful torque drive cleaner head) and six accessories, including a combination tool, crevice tool, mini motorized tool, mini soft dusting brush, docking station, and charger.
- The V8 Animal comes with one cleaning head (torque drive cleaner head), and six accessories, including a combination tool, crevice tool, mattress tool for mattresses and upholstery, mini soft dusting brush, docking station, and charger.
- The V8 Allergy comes with one cleaning head (direct-drive cleaner), and six accessories, including a combination tool, crevice tool, mini motorized tool, mini soft dusting brush, docking station, and charger.
- Price: $549.99 (currently $449.99 on Dyson.com) for the V10 Allergy, $479.99 (currently $379.99 on Dyson.com) for the V10 Animal, and $499.99 for the V10 Animal (currently sold out on Dyson.com)
Conclusion
Dyson cordless vacuums are definitely on the pricier end of home cleaning products, but they have powerful suction and are pretty handy to use for anyone who cleans regularly. For choosing your specific V8 or V10, if you want two different cleaning heads for variety, the Absolute will be the best (but usually most expensive) choice. If you’re okay with just one cleaning head and other accessories, the other models have the same technology.
For choosing between the V8 and V10, if you’re the type to like the newest model of everything and don’t mind paying extra, and you’re a frequent vacuumer, the V10 does have a more powerful motor, longer run time, and larger bin than the V8, which means you can probably clean for longer without having to recharge the vacuum or empty the bin. If you’re looking to save money (at full retail price, the difference between the V8 and V10 is $100), the V8 Absolute is still a great vacuum, and the Dyson.com exclusive also comes with a few more accessories.
Both the V8 and V10 are about the same size and weight, and they’ll be similar in maneuverability around your house, so ultimately your decision will be based on your budget and just how much suction power you think you need to clean your house.
