Our Verdict
Dyson Cyclone V10
Dyson V8
The Dyson V8 and the Dyson Cyclone V10 are very similar stick/handheld vacuums with a few minor differences. The V8 is a bit lighter and easier to maintain. However, the V10 has a higher-capacity dustbin. While the V10 also has a more powerful suction motor, the two vacuums are ultimately very evenly matched regarding debris pickup in the real world.
