Dyson V10 Absolute

Verdict

The Dyson V10 Absolute introduced the more modern Dyson design and adjustable gate floorhead, giving it strong everyday cleaning, but its fixed battery and shorter runtime versus the V11 make it better for medium spaces than large homes.

Pros

  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 1 review 4.5
    The V10’s introduction of adjustable gates on the floorhead lets it handle larger debris piles more effectively than earlier Dysons without the open slots, improving big crumb pickup on hard floors.
  • Battery & Charging 1 review 3.5
    Battery life on the V10 is solid but was clearly surpassed by the V11, and it still relies on a fixed battery pack, making it less flexible for extended sessions than newer, swappable-battery Dysons.
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) 1 review 3.5
    Real-world runtimes are good but not outstanding, with the reviewer treating the V11 as the clear step up in duration and positioning the V10 as adequate for typical homes rather than large houses.
