The Dyson Cyclone V10 Submarine is a cordless stick vacuum that also washes hard floors. Swap the Motorbar cleaner head for the Submarine wet roller head and the same machine moves from vacuuming carpets to clearing spills and sticky marks on tiles or laminate. It suits a home with a mix of floors that wants one machine instead of two.

Cleaning

The Dyson digital motor V10 spins at up to 125,000rpm and gives up to 150 Air Watts of suction in MAX mode, and 14 cyclones keep that suction steady. For dry cleaning, the Motorbar cleaner head works edge to edge on carpets and hard floors and is built to stop hair wrapping. For wet cleaning, the Submarine head's motorised microfibre roller washes spills and stains from hard floors, and dirty water and debris are pulled off the roller as it turns. Sealed filtration traps microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns before air leaves the machine.

Everyday use

Three power modes let you balance suction against run time; the seven-cell battery gives up to 60 minutes and recharges in about 3.5 hours. Take off the wand for handheld jobs, with the mini motorised tool for upholstery and stairs and the crevice tool for edges and narrow gaps. The 0.76 L bin empties into your household bin in one action. In the box:

• Cyclone V10 Submarine vacuum
• Motorbar cleaner head
• Submarine wet roller head
• mini motorised tool and crevice tool
• docking station and charger

Size and installation

Dyson lists it as 25.5 cm wide and 25.2 cm long, and it weighs 3.3 kg. Mount the docking station on a wall near a socket: it charges the vacuum and keeps the tools together, so both cleaner heads are to hand.
