Dyson introduces the cordless Cyclone V10 vacuum cleaner

• The Dyson Cyclone V10, Dyson’s newest stick vacuum, is cordless.

• Although smaller and lighter, the Dyson digital motor V10 boasts a 20% increase in suction power compared to the Dyson V8 cord-free vacuum.

Dyson has introduced the Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuum cleaner, promising suction exceeding typical stick vacuums.

The key is the new Dyson digital motor V10, weighing almost half its predecessor, the Dyson digital motor V8. This is Dyson’s fastest and most power-dense digital vacuum motor, reaching speeds up to 125,000 rpm. Its power-to-weight ratio has more than tripled compared to Dyson’s first-generation motor, the Dyson digital motor V2.

Sir James Dyson, the inventor, industrial designer, and founder of Dyson, stated: “An efficient motor is the foundation of a high-performing machine. The Dyson digital motor V10 represents our most advanced motor technology. It has allowed us to completely redefine the vacuum cleaner’s design, achieving unprecedented cordless performance…This is precisely why I have ceased development of full-size vacuums.”

The Dyson digital motor V10 is intelligent, constantly adjusting to maintain peak performance. It recognizes altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, and even anticipates weather changes. It can distinguish between a table and the floor, using this information to make minute adjustments that deliver consistent performance across varying air pressures. Whether used in a high-altitude city like Kabul, Afghanistan, at 1807m, or a city at sea level like Jakarta, Indonesia, at 3m, it provides the same level of performance. Historically, vacuums have performed better at lower altitudes due to denser air.

Dyson points out that other cyclonic vacuums can be quite inefficient in separating dust and dirt from the airflow. This leads to dust and dirt clogging the filter, reducing suction strength. In contrast, the Dyson Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuum maintains consistent suction performance. Its fourteen cyclones are precisely arranged around the machine’s central axis, creating airflow speeds of up to 193kmh within each cyclone. This mechanism efficiently separates microscopic dust from the air.

Filtration

Dyson claims that typical vacuum cleaners can release dust, allergens, and bacteria into the air during operation. Dyson engineers have enhanced the V10’s overall filtration, capturing 99.97% of allergens as small as 0.3 microns, resulting in cleaner air exhaust.

Energy Storage System

Dyson engineers aimed to provide sufficient power to the high-speed Dyson digital motor V10 while extending its runtime. They achieved this through a more energy-dense battery without adding extra weight. This, coupled with improved electronics and battery system management, provides the new Dyson Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuum with up to 60 minutes of suction.

Cleaner Heads

The direct-drive cleaner head houses a powerful motor inside the brush bar. This motor drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpets, effectively removing ground-in dirt. Soft, anti-static carbon fiber filaments capture fine dust from hard floors.

The soft-roller cleaner head simultaneously removes both large debris and fine dust from hard floors. A larger roller wrapped in soft woven nylon traps larger debris, while anti-static carbon fiber filaments collect fine dust. A direct-drive motor within the roller allows for full-width, edge-to-edge cleaning.

To manufacture this motor, Dyson engineers developed new, fully automated processes at their Singapore and Philippines plants. Three hundred autonomous robots assemble the Dyson digital motors across six production lines. These robots are equipped with 3D vision, enabling them to perceive and interpret the production line and intelligently wire a motor in just 12 seconds, while simultaneously conducting quality checks.
