- Dyson has introduced the supply of its latest cordless vacuum, the V10 Konical
- Obtainable in Australia initially, it is suitable with Dyson’s first ever self-emptying dock
- The Auto-empty Dok will probably be offered individually and also will work with the Dyson V8
Dyson has right this moment (March 19) made the shock announcement of a brand-new cordless vacuum cleaner — and it is the most affordable but to function its newer conical floorhead. The Dyson V10 Konical has first been launched in Australia, the place it can set potential consumers again AU$799 (US and UK pricing and availability are TBC, however that is round $560 / £420), and shares the identical 150AW of suction because the Dyson V8 Cyclone launched final yr.
Its headline act, nonetheless, is a welcome function that Dyson has been fairly late to embrace — self-emptying.
That is proper, the Dyson V10 Konical will pair with the brand new freestanding Auto-empty Dok, which may also cost the vacuum whereas offering storage for attachments. Dyson hasn’t specified the scale of the mud bag the Auto-empty Dok will use, however the firm claims it can maintain “as much as 60 days of grime”.

That Dok may also have to be bought individually, although it is not but in the stores, even in Australia. Dyson hasn’t offered a agency date for its launch, solely saying that it’ll come “later this yr” and price AU$299 (round $210 / £160).
The excellent news is that the brand new Dok can be suitable with the V8 Cyclone, so customers who’ve already bought that older finances mannequin will not have to improve to the V10 Konical to get the auto-empty function.

Within the meantime, the V10 Konical, because the title suggests, makes use of the identical conical floorhead because the V16 Piston Animal, which Dyson says is appropriate to be used on any flooring sort. Whereas I have not tried the V16 myself, my colleague discovered that the brand new design wasn’t nearly as good as Dyson’s Digital Motorbar on the Gen5detect in cleansing up grime and particles in a single move.
With that in thoughts, if I had to decide on between the V10 Konical and the V8 Cyclone, I might most likely go for the latter, because it comes with the Digital Motorbar head as a substitute.
Just like the V8 Cyclone, the V10 Konical additionally ships with simply two different attachments within the field, although a mini motorized device replaces the V8’s Hair Screw Instrument on the brand new mannequin. Given they share related specs elsewhere — together with whole suction energy and as much as 60 minutes to runtime — I am a bit of dissatisfied that the V10 Konical prices AU$100 greater than the V8 Cyclone in Australia.
That mentioned, Dyson has said that “equipment throughout Dyson V8, V8 Cyclone, and the brand new V10 Konical are interchangeable”, which suggests if you have already got the Hair Screw Instrument — which I personally love to scrub mattresses and sofas — you will not want to interchange your whole system when choosing the newest Dyson vacuum.
Whereas it is simple for me to seek out fault with the V10 Konical based mostly on specs comparisons with different Dyson fashions, it nonetheless stays to be seen how effectively it performs in real-world testing. Nonetheless, it is the Auto-empty Dok that has captured my consideration — after having examined self-emptying docks from Samsung, Dreame and Shark, I am very curious to learn how the Dyson Dok compares.
