Dyson V10 Motorhead - Battery Life Tested

We test the battery life of the Dyson V10 Motorhead. Also, see what we love about the V10 Motorhead:    • What We Love about the Dyson V10 Moto...  

We investigate the three different power modes (Low/Medium/Maximum) and the two types of tools (Motorized/Non-Motorized). This results in 6 potential different cleaning configurations.

We start by highlighting the run time figures provided by the manufacturer for each cleaning configuration, then we test each configuration. More specifically we look at:

Low Power with Non-Motorized Tool (crevice tool)
Low Power with Motorized Tool (direct drive cleaner head)

Medium Power with Non-Motorized Tool (crevice tool)
Medium Power with Motorized Tool (direct drive cleaner head)

Maximum Power with Non-Motorized Tool (crevice tool)
Maximum Power with Motorized Tool (direct drive cleaner head)

For the most part the tested run times are as good or better than manufacturer reported run times, however there was one instance in which this was not the case - Lower Power with Motorized Tool (direct drive cleaner head). We then swapped out the direct drive cleaner head with a torque drive cleaner head from our Dyson V10 Absolute and redid the test. The tested run time then surpassed the manufacturer's reported run time. This led us to believe that the direct drive cleaner head is the main reason for the lower run time.

We also noticed that while in Maximum Power the run time with a Motorized Tool was longer than the run time with a Non-Motorized Tool. This seemed a little anomalous, however repeated tests did not result in any different results. We concluded that indeed the vacuum has a longer run time in Max Power mode with a Motorized Tool attached.
