- 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 Auto-empty Dok, which can store up to 60 days of dirt
Dyson has launched an updated V10 vacuum with a self-draining dock 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 messy process, without you having to open the vacuum cleaner’s dust cup yourself 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 that 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 cleaning head, which has a pair of conical brushes designed to develop long hair, so you don’t have to spend time cutting or pulling it out of a roll. It appears to be the same head used by the Dyson V16 Piston Animal and has a bright green light to illuminate dirt you might otherwise miss.

The Auto-empty Dok has its own sealed HEPA filtration system and has built-in storage for your most used cleaning tools.
This is the first self-draining system from Dyson, but the idea has been around for a while. In fact, we’ve already seen several self-draining systems from rival brands, including the Shark PowerDetect Cordless and the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra.
One of the main differences between these and Dyson’s Auto-empty Dok is their size. Dyson’s dock is much taller and is therefore able to hold much more accumulated dirt before emptying.
If you already own a Dyson V8 Cyclone, you’ll be pleased to learn that the Auto-empty Dok is backwards compatible so you can use it with your existing vacuum cleaner. Cleaning tools are also cross-compatible between the 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 Auto-empty Dok. It will go on sale from July 8th and will cost £569.99 along with the V10 Konical.
We’ll be testing the vacuum and dock together very soon and will give you a full review so you can see how this self-emptying model compares to its competitors.
