- Dyson has just launched its first self-emptying vacuum cleaner
- The Dyson V10 Konical has HEPA filtration and a floor head designed for hair
- It is emptied into the Dok Auto-Empty, which can store up to 60 days of dirt.
Dyson has launched an updated V10 vacuum cleaner, with a self-emptying base that stores up to 60 days of dirt. The Dyson V10 Konical and Auto-empty Dok work together to make cleaning your floors a much less complicated process, without needing to open the vacuum’s dust cup and risk accidentally releasing a cloud of dirt in the process.
The updated V10 Konical should be a particularly good choice for allergy sufferers thanks to a fully sealed HEPA filtration system, which Dyson says can remove up to 99.99% of details as small as 0.1 microns, including pollen and even bacteria and viruses.
The new V10 is equipped with an All Floor Cones cleaner head, which has a pair of conical brushes designed to detangle long hair, so there is no need to waste time cutting it or removing it from the roller. It appears to be the same head used by the Dyson V16 Piston Animal and features a bright green light to illuminate dirt that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The self-draining Dok has its own sealed HEPA filtration system and has onboard storage for your most frequently used cleaning tools.

This is Dyson’s first self-emptying system, but the idea has been around for some time. In fact, we’ve already seen several self-emptying systems from rival brands, including Shark PowerDetect Wireless and Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra.
One of the key differences between these and Dyson’s Auto-empty Dok is their size. The Dyson dock is much taller and therefore capable of holding much more built-up dirt before needing to be emptied.

If you already own a Dyson V8 Cyclone, you’ll be pleased to know that the Auto-empty Dok is backwards compatible, so you can use it with your current vacuum cleaner. The cleaning tools are also compatible between Dyson V8, V8 Cyclone and V10 Konical.
The new Dyson V10 Konical is available from today, April 29, for £449.99. However, you will have to wait a little longer for the Dok to empty automatically. It will be on sale from July 8 and will cost £569.99 alongside the V10 Konical.
We’ll be testing the vacuum and base together very soon and bringing you a full review so you can see how this self-emptying model stacks up against its rivals.
