What is the upgrade from V8 to V10-V11?

This would take us to another comparison in the form of Dyson V8 vs V10 vs V11, but I’ll keep it as simple as I can.

The V10 and V10 Dyson Models enjoy better suction power due to the “in-line” build of the extension wand. It’s designed in the same line of suction power, making it more powerful than older models like the Dyson V8 Absolute vs Animal.

As competitive as it gets, the Dyson V8 is also compared to a shark vacuum in the Shark IONFlex vs Dyson V8 Absolute ultimate comparison, and despite that, there are more Dyson V models to consider.

Moreover, no more T-shaped vacuums from Dyson starting with the Dyson V10, it’s all now a streamlined design, which also helps with the suction too.

Dyson Models are known to last years providing the powerful performance you obtain them for, want to know how long they really last? check the CleanersAdvisor study on how long do vacuums last.

Why compare Dyson V10 vs V11?

There are two types of viable comparisons that you can possibly make between two different models of the same brand: a comparison between 2 close models, and a comparison between an old model and a new model.

In this article, I have the first for you. Both V10 and V10 models are close in design and some features, and could possibly provide a similarly pleasant experience.

However, with the new design, comes new features, and some old features disappear, so keep an eye on that, and in the end of the article, you’ll have a decisive conclusion, while comparing Dyson V10 vs V11.

Dyson V10 Best Feature

Vacuuming hard floors: The Dyson V10’s best feature is providing a picture-perfect hard floors vacuuming, better than all previous Dyson V models.

Moreover, it does that slightly better than the V11 itself.

How does the V10 do that? Thanks to its fluffy cleaning head, which I’ll talk about later in this article in detail.

What is Dyson V11?

Dyson V11 Best Feature

Dyson V11’s best feature is the advanced technology that provided more powerful suction.

Moreover, this new technology allowed the vacuum to determine the suction power needed for different surfaces, in a way that it doesn’t overdo it, or provide less suction power.

What do Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 Have in Common?

In my pursuit of figuring out the differences while comparing Dyson V10 vs V11, I stumbled upon a series of similarities between both models.

In many ways, I found that both the Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 have much in common, more than you’ll ever think of between 2 models with a full year of research differentiating between them.

For instance, both models work insanely great on different floor types.

Let’s dive deeper and analyze the features both the Dyson V10 and V11 share.

Same Cleaning System

Both Dyson V10 and V11 use the Cyclone Cleaning System. This boosts the suction power immensely.

Arranged in two tiers, the V10 & V11 Dyson models work on their signature 15-cyclone system.

Cordless + Handheld

Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 vacuums work as regular cordless sticks, but that’s not the end of it.

They can work as a versatile hand-held cordless vacuum as well. This means that the hardest of corners will not be that hard anymore.

Holding the trigger button to operate

Both Vacuum models work with an on/off switch, but they only work afterwards when you hold the trigger button down.

This helps save battery life and allows you to operate for a longer time on a single battery charge.

Dustbin Size

Enjoying a medium-sized dustbin, both models have mutual sizes for temporarily storing the dirt.

Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 have 0.757-liter dustbins.

Motor Power

Despite the full year of research, the Dyson scientists decided to look away from upgrading the motor’s power.

Both models work on a 125,000 RPMs motor, which is effective perfectly.

Quick Release System

Replacing tools and attachments won’t waste your time, according to Dyson.

They have a quick-release system that works on all V models’ (starting with V8) attachments and tools, including the V10, and V11.

“Official” Battery Time

According to Dyson’s official, both V10 and V11 models work up to 60 minutes in a single charge on minimum power.

However, user reviews proved otherwise. So who’s correct here? Will explain later.

HEPA filter

For me, it’s a matter of life or death situation to have a HEPA filter in a vacuum nowadays.

Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 have this feature live and kicking as soon as you start your first vacuuming session.

Floor Types

As great as they can operate on different floor types, both vacuums scored similarly when operating on carpets and floors.

On hardwood floors, low-pile carpets, and high-pile carpets, both Dyson models operate magnificently on them all.

Dyson V10 vs V11: Features Comparison

Motor Power

The suction power has never been a debate in either the V10 or the V11, however, the V11 Dyson enjoys a higher level of max suction power.

Compared to V10’s 145AW, the V11 operates at 220AW motor.

Winner: Dyson V11

Floor Types

I already told you that both models perform well on different floor types. But, there’s still another upside to this for people who’d want to take V10’s side.

Using the Special Fluffy cleaning head, the V10 scores 100% perfect score in performing hardwood floors’ vacuuming.

Debris of different types and sizes didn’t stand a chance against this suitable and powerful fluffy cleaning head of the Dyson V10.

Winner: Dyson V10

Suction modes

The Dyson V10 uses regular suction mode, while the Dyson V11 uses the aforementioned intelligent suction mode.

This means that the vacuum will decide the suction level needed, depending on the surface you’re vacuuming.

Not only does this save battery life, but it also helps you take your mind off deciding on power level with every new surface.

Winner: Dyson V11

Battery Running Time

Dyson V11 has better batteries –according to users’ reviews- than the V10.

On Low Power mode, V10 provides around 50 minutes, while V11 can exceed 80 minutes.

On Normal Power mode, V10 can work up to 25 minutes, but V11 operates for more than 45 minutes.

On Max Power mode, V10 can vacuum for 5-6 minutes, and the V11 proved that it can do 7-8 minutes.

Winner: Dyson V11

Special Battery Technique

Dyson V10 doesn’t provide any special battery attachments or techniques.

Meanwhile, the Dyson V11 has a click-in battery included. In other words, you’ll be able to replace batteries swiftly, while having another battery ready for a fast change.

Winner: Dyson V11

Noise

Noise difference isn’t that big of a deal since both provide a picture-perfect noise-less experience.

But, there’s a slight difference when comparing V10 vs V11 Dyson models, as the V10 made 75-77db, while V11 had 70-73.
