Henry’s got no chance against this sucker

Will this handheld beast kill off the corded vacuum cleaner for good? ● Suck it up Dyson’s back… and there’s no doubt the star of this ultra-light vac is its titular V10 motor. It’s smaller and weighs half as much as the V8 it replaces, but manages to spin at a ridiculous 125,000rpm, so you get 20% more suction power than the outgoing model. This is a streamline­d machine that will make quick work of the messiest post-party floors. Oh, and the fact that it looks like a sci-fi alien zapper does nothing to dent its appeal.

● Get it on Not tripping on a snake-like pile of cables is an obvious selling point for any cordless vacuum, but most people would rather take the risk than have the thing retire halfway through a clean. So Dyson has boosted the V10 battery’s maximum run time to an hour – plenty of time to whizz around any house that doesn’t belong to a Premier League footballer. It has a trigger grip rather than an on/off switch, so it won’t zap away precious power when you’re not actively cleaning. ● Tech it out We’re told the motor uses a suite of sensors that calculate things like altitude, air pressure and even temperatur­e. Sounds like overkill to us, but apparently this ensures it’ll give you the best performanc­e whether you’re going to work on your carpets or tackling the ceiling cobwebs. ● Sack it off The new design has allowed Dyson to squeeze in a storage bin that’s 40% larger than the V8’s, which means fewer mid-clean trips to the big black bag. It’s been relocated to open right where you clip on the hose attachment­s, and emptying is simply a case of point and shoot. It’s your very own rubbish rifle.

IT HAS 20% MORE SUCTION POWER THAN THE OUTGOING MODEL
