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 the apartment.
The niche is developing rapidly and indisputable leaders appear. 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 with its cyclone vacuum cleaners. The main production is located in Singapore. It is positioned as a premium brand with corresponding prices. Official website of the representative office:
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. Overstating power to the detriment 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.
Features Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000:
- 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 its competitor. But at the same time, the battery life in turbo mode is noticeably lower - 7 minutes. Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 is more balanced in this regard. 110 watts of power is enough for cleaning, and at the same time you get 20 minutes of work in turbo mode, 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. Further, the dust is retained by a removable fibrous filter and, after this, air passes through the final filter mat. The manufacturer claims that this filtration system delays 99.97% of particles up to 0.3 microns in size.
The Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 is equipped with a similar cyclone filtration system, but it is not as innovative as the Dyson. Cleaning takes place in the 4th stage. At the first stage, the cyclone waste bin separates the bulk of the dust and debris, then cleaning continues in the inner part of the glass. The HEPA combi filter traps 99.95% of fine dust, and almost clean air enters the last postmotor filter.
In the question of air purification superiority for Dyson. But in our experience we can say that it is unlikely that the user will be able to catch the difference in practice. 99.95% and 99.97% of dust are very close numbers.
Lightweight and easy to use
The concept of cordless vacuum cleaners is built on usability. The main value of this type of equipment is maximum comfort that an ordinary full-size vacuum cleaner will not give you. Therefore, special attention in comparing Dyson and Morphy Richards will be given to this item. As the saying goes - the devil is in the details.
What are they alike?
- The Handstick form factor is the most convenient option for a cordless vacuum cleaner, it provides maximum maneuverability with minimal dimensions.
- Manual configuration allows you to conveniently clean furniture or the interior of the car.
- The cyclonic method of air purification provides a minimum volume of the vacuum system and ease of removal of debris from the container.
- Hanging charging base. There will be no problems with charging - at any time the vacuum cleaner is ready to work.
What is the difference?
- Dyson is a bit more compact and lighter. The difference in weight is only 170 grams (63 kg versus 2.8 kg), but it is. And the smaller the weight of the vacuum cleaner, the less tired the hand that holds it.
- Dyson engineers made a noticeable miscalculation 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 fatigue in the fingers during long cleaning. In the wireless model from Morphy Richards, this drawback is absent.
- When using a Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean hard-to-reach places, let's say under a table, a bend of the hand is created and a rounded body presses on the bone of the thumb. At the same time, the grip cannot be changed. The Morphy Richards 734000 has a rounded handle that allows you to change the position of the hand in a way that is convenient for the user.
- The location of the handle also differs. The Dyson engine compartment is right at hand, so with prolonged use the hand heats up and sweats. Morphy Richards placed the handle farther from the motor, and long-term operation in maximum power mode will not cause it to heat up.
- The removable battery design of the Morphy Richards SuperVac 73400 allows battery replacement without contacting a service center. The Dyson battery is mounted in a pen. The quality of the brand’s products is excellent, so it is unlikely that you will have to change the battery soon. But it is worth mentioning that sooner or later any battery begins to lose capacity and degrade.
This comparison is based on a review of customer reviews and our experience. In general, we can say that the Dyson V10 provides its owner with slightly less comfort when cleaning, but none of the models have critical flaws.
Equipment
Given the similarity of designs of vacuum cleaners, manufacturers offer similar accessories for them. Therefore, the equipment of two different models differs slightly. The number, arrangement of nozzles and their functionality are almost the same. A detailed comparison of the equipment does not make sense. Just do the listing.
Morphy Richards SuperVac 734000
- The main nozzle with a turbo brush;
- Crevice nozzle (for hard-to-reach spots);
- Nozzle for upholstered furniture;
- 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 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 characteristics (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 by different customers differently. Everyone has to decide for himself which of the two vacuum cleaners he likes best.
