Dyson’s v10 Konical delivers truly outstanding suction performance — but its monolithic Auto-empty Dok is harder to love
Dyson v10 Konical + Auto-empty Dok review: interesting concept that doesn't quite sit comfortably in the home.
The Dyson v10 Konical + Auto-empty Dok is a two-piece system that combines a cordless stick vacuum with a self-emptying dock. This innovative design aims to eliminate the hassle of manually emptying the vacuum's bin, a feature that is becoming increasingly popular among robotic vacuums from brands like Roborock, Tineco, and Shark.
The v10 Konical itself boasts an impressive 150 air watts of suction power, making it a powerful mid-range cordless vacuum. It also features an innovative conical anti-tangle cleaner head and a unique laser-style light for better visibility while cleaning. For pet owners with hairy pets or allergy sufferers, the conical brush head is a standout feature as it effectively reduces hair on the vacuum's spindle.
The Auto-empty Dok dock, while highly functional, is quite tall at 47.24 inches (120cm) and may seem incongruous for a stick vacuum. However, it does a decent job of emptying the v10 Konical's small 0.52 quart (0.5 liter) bin, keeps the vacuum's battery topped up, and provides storage space for additional accessories. The dock also offers a convenient cupboard for storing the mini motorized brush and detail nozzle.
Despite its drawbacks, such as the tall dock and premium price tag compared to other cordless vacuums, the Dyson v10 Konical + Auto-empty Dok offers a convenient and potentially high-quality-of-life improvement for frequent vacuum users, pet owners, and allergy sufferers. The package can be purchased directly from Dyson, Argos, or John Lewis for around £549.99, or as a standalone unit for £449.99 in the UK, $399.99 in the USA, and AU$797 in Australia.
