The De-tangling conical head uses dual rotating conical brush bars that de‑tangle all hair lengths.¹ For best performance and to ensure there is no hair build up, remove the brush bars and wipe them clean before re‑inserting. This preserves de‑tangling performance.

Reduced suction may occur if the 15 cyclones or Root Cyclone™ separation system are obstructed. Empty the bin using the no‑touch point‑and‑shoot mechanism, then check the airway and filter. This ensures continued no‑loss‑of‑suction performance.

Empty the bin whenever debris reaches the MAX line. The vacuum uses hygienic no‑touch bin emptying that ejects dust in a single action, helping maintain airflow and cleaning performance.

You can cycle between Eco, Medium, and MAX modes using the Mode button on the top of the machine. The Mode button sits below the red power button, closer to the post‑motor filter.

Run time varies depending on power mode and floor type. Eco mode delivers the longest run time, while Medium and MAX provide more suction for demanding tasks. The vacuum can run up to 60 minutes of fade‑free suction⁴ under recommended conditions.

The Dyson V10 Konical™ vacuum uses fully‑sealed, five‑stage HEPA filtration that captures 99.99% of microscopic particles as small as 0.1 microns.³ If filtration reduces performance, remove the filter and tap it gently to release dust before reinstalling.

Remove the cyclone and the bin using the release catches. Wipe the bin with a damp, lint‑free cloth only. Do not use detergents, air fresheners, or dishwashers. Ensure the bin is completely dry before refitting.

The De-tangling conical head is engineered to deep clean all floor types. For carpets, check that the brush bars are free of debris. For hard floors, ensure the blade of light is clear to reveal hidden dust optimally.

Intermittent stopping may indicate an airflow obstruction. Check the wand, cleaner head and bin inlet for blockages. The digitally controlled motor (spinning up to 110,000rpm) protects itself by regulating power when airflow is restricted.

A pulsing motor indicates a blockage. Disconnect from the charger, let the machine cool, and check for obstructions in:

The bin and cyclone
The wand (check both ends)
The cleaner head and brush bar
Remove any debris before restarting.

For best performance, only use MAX mode when necessary. The machine can remain in the dock or on charge as it stops charging automatically. The vacuum won’t operate or charge below 5°C (41°F) to protect the motor and battery.
