Cordless vacuum cleaners are a relatively new and growing trend in the segment of cleaning equipment. Interest in them is due, first of all, to their compactness and ease of use. Vacuum cleaners of this type are always ready to work and take up a minimum of space compared to conventional wired vacuum cleaners. But not all such models can provide sufficient suction power to replace a full-size vacuum cleaner in an apartment.
The niche is developing rapidly and undisputed leaders are emerging. Today we will compare two really powerful cordless vacuum cleaners. Dyson V10 Motorhead and Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000.
Company Dyson founded in 1992. An English brand that has become popular for its cyclone vacuum cleaners. The main production is located in Singapore. It is positioned as a premium brand with corresponding prices.
Company Morphy richards was founded in 1935 and today is a leader in the sales of household appliances in the UK. Since 2016, the products have been supplied to the Russian market, gradually gaining recognition from buyers.
And so, we have before us two English manufacturers with a long history. Let's take a closer look at what they can offer to lovers of order and cleanliness in the house.
Suction power and battery life
The main criterion for evaluating a cordless vacuum cleaner is the ratio of power and operating time without recharging. These indicators must be balanced. Overestimating power at the expense of autonomy is not a good idea. You may not be able to finish cleaning when the battery runs out and it will take about four hours before you can continue.
In order to rationally use the battery charge, both manufacturers have provided two power modes on which the operating time depends. Standard mode with reduced suction power and turbo mode with maximum power.
Dyson V10 Absolute specifications:
- Maximum air flow power in TURBO mode - 151 Aut;
- Duration of work in TURBO mode - 7 minutes;
- Duration of work in standard mode - 60 minutes;
- Full charge 210 minutes.
Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 specifications:
- Maximum air flow power in TURBO mode - 110 Aut;
- Duration of work in TURBO mode - 20 minutes;
- Duration of work in standard mode - 60 minutes;
- Full charge 240 minutes.
We see that the Dyson V10 Absolute has 36 watts more air flow than the competitor. But at the same time, the battery life in turbo mode is noticeably lower - 7 minutes. The Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 is more balanced in this regard. 110 watts of power is enough for cleaning, and you get 20 minutes of turbo operation, which is almost 3 times more than the Dyson V10. This difference is very significant.
Air filtration
Dyson v10 features an innovative patented two-stage air filtration system. Garbage is separated in one large cyclone in the first stage and in 14 small cyclones in the second. The dust is then retained by a removable fibrous filter and, after that, the air passes through the final motor filter.The manufacturer claims that this filtration system retains 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
The Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 has a similar cyclonic filtration system, but not as innovative as Dyson. Cleaning takes place in 4 stages. At the first stage, the cyclone collector separates the bulk of the dust and debris, then cleaning continues in the inside of the glass. The combined HEPA filter traps 99.95% of fine dust, and almost pure air enters the last post-motor filter.
Dyson takes the lead in air purification. But from our experience we can say that the user is unlikely to be able to catch the difference in practice. 99.95% and 99.97% dust are very close numbers.
Ease and ease of use
The concept of cordless vacuum cleaners is built on convenience and ease of use. The main value of this type of equipment is maximum comfort, which a regular full-size vacuum cleaner will not give you. Therefore, we will pay special attention to this point in comparing Dyson and Morphy Richards. As they say - the devil is in the details.
How are they similar?
- The Handstick form factor is the most convenient option for a cordless vacuum cleaner, providing maximum maneuverability in a minimum size.
- Manual configuration allows you to conveniently clean furniture or car interior.
- The cyclonic method of air purification provides a minimum volume of the vacuum system and easy removal of debris from the container.
- Suspended charging base. There will be no problems with charging - the vacuum cleaner is ready to work at any time.
What is the difference?
- Dyson is slightly smaller and lighter. The difference in weight is only 170 grams (63 kg versus 2.8 kg), but it is there. And the less the weight of the vacuum cleaner, the less the hand that holds it gets tired.
- Dyson engineers made a noticeable mistake in the "trigger", which cannot be fixed. Those. you constantly need to hold it with your finger, otherwise the vacuum cleaner turns off. Initially, the meaning of this solution was to save power in this way. However, many users in their reviews complain of finger fatigue during prolonged cleaning. The wireless model from Morphy Richards does not have this drawback.
- When using a Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean hard-to-reach places, for example, under a table, a bend in the hand is created and the rounded body presses on the thumb bone. In this case, the grip cannot be changed. The Morphy Richards 734000 model has a rounded handle that allows you to change the position of the hand as it suits the user.
- The location of the handle is also different. Dyson's engine compartment is right at your fingertips, so your hand gets hot and sweaty with prolonged use. Morphy Richards has placed the handle further away from the motor so that continuous operation at maximum power will not cause it to heat up.
- The removable design of the Morphy Richards SuperVac 73400 battery allows you to replace the battery without going to a service center. The Dyson battery is built into the handle. The quality of the brand's products is excellent, so it is unlikely that you will have to change the battery any time soon. But it's worth mentioning that sooner or later any battery starts to lose capacity and degrade.
This comparison is based on a study of customer reviews and our experience. In general, we can say that the Dyson V10 provides its owner with a little less comfort when cleaning, but none of the models has critical flaws.
Equipment
Considering the similarity of the designs of vacuum cleaners, manufacturers offer similar additional accessories for them. Therefore, the equipment of the two different models differs slightly. The number, arrangement of attachments and their functionality are almost the same. It makes no sense to compare the complete set in detail. Let's just do the listing.
Morphy Richards SuperVac 734000
- Main nozzle with turbo brush;
- Crevice nozzle (for hard-to-reach places);
- Upholstered furniture nozzle;
- Nozzle for long pile carpets.
Dyson v10
- Direct drive motorized nozzle;
- Crevice nozzle;
- Combined nozzle (for upholstered furniture and carpets).
conclusions
Summarize. Both cordless vacuum cleaner models are quite powerful and quite interesting. Both are from quality British brands.However, they also have significant differences. Dyson V10 Motorhead will provide its owner with slightly higher suction power and an innovative air filtration system. Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 can counter it with more balanced performance (duration of operation at maximum power) and comfort of use. It is also worth taking into account the cost - Dyson products have never been budget-friendly. While Morphy Richards produces home appliances in the mid-range. We do not dare to give preference to one or another model. They both deserve the honor of playing a major role in modern home cleaning. And the advantages and disadvantages are perceived differently by different buyers. Everyone must decide for himself which of the two vacuum cleaners he likes best.
