Our Verdict

Dyson V8 Cyclone

Dyson V10 Konical

The Dyson V10 Konical and the Dyson V8 Cyclone are both cordless vacuums from the lower end of Dyson's range, but they have different strengths. If you have pets that shed on carpets, the V8 Cyclone is the better pick. It clears hair from carpet almost completely, while the Konical often needs a second pass, and its floorhead allows for stronger suction, which helps on low-pile rugs. The Konical is better for furniture and cars, since its mini motorized head cleans couch cushions well, while the V8 Cyclone only comes with a crevice tool that struggles to clean a whole sofa. The Konical also has headlights that illuminate fine dirt on hard floors.
