Best Dyson Vacuums for All Kinds of Home Clean-ups in the UK

If you want the convenience, manoeuvrability, and easy handling of a cordless vacuum and the suction power of a corded model, look no further. The V11 Animal hoover from Dyson can offer you all that and then some, to a good measure.

Straight off the reel, fitted with an innovative Hyperdymium™ motor, the model spins up to a whopping 125,000 RPM and produces suction power of 185 air watts, which is an amazingly high rate for a cordless unit and even higher than that in some corded models. At such suction power, it's only natural to expect that the vac will be an excellent performer, which it is, capable of picking up larger and smaller debris as well as demolishing ground-in dirt with ease. Aside from that, the cleaner is fitted with a whole bunch of useful attachments. Thanks to these attachments, you can use the V11 for just about any dry cleaning task, be it dedusting upholstery, picking up child messes, or doing spring cleans.

As mighty as it is, the V11 Animal is a slim and lightweight pal you can carry around without an effort. A long wand allows using it as a stick vac for cleaning floors and sprucing up at heights, while a convertible design will let you use it for some minor tasks, minimising muscle strains and fatigue.

Unlike many other vacs of this type, the V11 Animal boasts quite a long-lasting battery that will keep the unit running for an hour before you need to juice it up. And, what is more important, the unit's suction power won't decrease when the battery charge gets low. This vac will shoot the works till the last drop of "juice". The integrated LED-screen ensures you can see how many operation minutes you have before a recharge is needed.

Dyson vacs are on the higher side in terms of price but this is so not without a reason. Focusing on constantly honing the cleaning performance by updating the technology, each of their new vacs in the series come out more technologically advanced than the predecessor. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute is not an exception.

Fitted with a new motor and a redesigned air path, this model is 20% mightier than the precious V8 and delivers the best of what you can expect from a thorough surface cleaning. A digital motor spins up to amazingly high RPMs to produce about 150 watts of power and ensure consistently high suction. More than that, you’ll have three different power modes to perfectly meet the job you have at hand.

Yet, powerful suction itself is not sufficient for excellent cleaning results. So, cleaning attachments are yet another forte of this Dyson vac. The model comes packed to the brim with accessories that include two cleaner heads, a mini motorised tool, combination tool, crevice tool, and a small dusting brush. Both cleaning heads are motorised to ensure an added cleaning punch as you move. While the Direct Drive head with two rows of nylon bristles is a kind of all-around tool that is suitable for all sorts of floors and excels in picking up hairs and pet’s fur, a soft roller head is simply unbeatable in cleaning hard floors. It can handle the toughest dirt and leave the flooring not only clean but also buffed. The other attachments are meant for such specific tasks as vacuuming upholstery, cleaning delicate surfaces, dedusting car interiors, and performing spruce-up cleans.

Seek a vac to replace your canister beast for spruce cleans? If so, the Dyson V7 cordless hoover from the Absolute series certainly deserves your attention. Though definitely not cheap, this model is also not very expensive and will come to liking to those who look for a golden mean.

The Dyson V7 has many good features that make it an attractive cleaner. First and foremost, it features a lighter and less noisy construction than many of its predecessors, allowing you to easily navigate it around your home without irritating nearby people. It also has a convertible design. So, whether you need to quick-clean the floorings in your hall or pick up crumbs from the couch in the living room, at the push of a single button you will be able to convert it either to a stick vac or to a handheld cleaner.

The Dyson V7 belongs to the mid-range hoovers, however, the power of 100 air watts which it produces will let you tackle all common debris without breaking a sweat. Besides, it is fitted with Two-tier Radial™ cyclones that work to maintain consistently high suction, and offers two operating modes letting you vary the power settings to meet the cleaning task at hand.

Speaking of the packaging, the model comes complete with a comprehensive accessory kit. Apart from the usual motorised heads for hard floors and carpets and a mini motorised tool for upholstery, you also get a crevice tool which, combined with a special reach-under tool, will let you easily get into tricky spots and hard-to-reach areas. This specific tool has an angled joint for better flexibility and manoeuvrability.

All owners of fluffy cats and dogs know firsthand how much hassle removing pet hair and dander can be, especially when it comes to upholstery, soft carpets, and thick rugs - no matter whether you have a long-haired or short-haired pet, hairy traces are inevitable. That's where Dyson vacs come into play. Famous for its Animal series of vacuum cleaners specially designed for pet owners to help with cleaning, the Dyson V8 Animal is one of the best models in the range. Let's check out what it offers.

Though the Dyson V8 Animal has an admittedly average power output of 115 watts, it will definitely impress you with the suction performance. With an innovative power-dense motor and digital pulse technology, the tool can work at a stunning speed of 110,000 RPM. That means it will effectively remove all kinds of debris including the finest particles of dust and solids. What's more, there's a set of stiff nylon bristles on its motorised head that will allow you to deep clean your carpets, upholstery, sofas, arm-chairs and beds, making sure there are no hair traces left behind after cleaning.

Another remarkable feature of the Dyson V8 Animal is that it incorporates a whole-machine filtration system that will securely pick and lock allergens to expel cleaner air and a hygienic dirt ejector that will prevent any contact with the waste while you empty the bin, ensuring convenience of use.

Packed with an innovative Nickel Cobalt Aluminum battery, more characteristic of premium series, this vac can run up to 40 minutes without interruption to let you conveniently finish multiple tasks. Even with a motorised head attached, it will work up to 23 minutes without the loss of suction.

What makes a good vac for a large house? In general, it’s a powerful motor to deliver high suction, a capacious dust bin to save you the trouble of stopping during cleans, a number of attachments for versatile cleaning, and an ergonomic design for convenience and easy navigation across the house. Normally, these are the features that canister vacs have. The only problem is that canister vacuums often appear too bulky and clumsy, which deters customers from choosing them. With the Big Ball Animal 2, however, things are different. This model belongs to a new generation that changes the whole canister vac concept for the better.

Starting off, this model packs 180 air watts of power, which will allow it to suck up whatever dirt, grime, debris or dust that may get on its way. It also boasts a great filtration system. The two-tier radial cyclones will filter out the tiniest dust particles and allergens and expel 100% clean air. Meanwhile, the turbine head with stiff nylon bristles will deliver smooth performance on any surface, be it laminated flooring, hardwood, natural marble, ceramic tile or a soft carpet, and easily pick up pet hair.

A flexible hose and a long wand with basic attachment accessories are also included enabling you to clean the entire house, from the floor to the ceiling. Other than that, a 1.8 L dust bin will let you finish cleaning without the need to stop for discarding the waste. Plus, simple and hygienic bin emptying will prevent you from touching the dust container.

Yet, what sells the Dyson Big Ball most of all is its revolutionary ball design. Not only is it more compact and lightweight than many other canister vacuums but also it ensures unmatched manoeuvrability, allowing you to effortlessly turn on the spot and propel throughout the house. In addition, with the self-righting technology, the vac will easily pick itself up when toppled.
