Best Cordless Stick Vacuums: Tineco A10 Hero vs. Dyson V8 Animal

Tineco A10 Hero vs. Dyson V8 Animal

 

As promised, after our Tineco A10 Hero Product Review and our Dyson V8 Animal Product Review, here is our comparison video of the two vacuums.

I will also write out the differences, just in case.  Both of them have a HEPA filtration system, other than that there are slight differences – including price!

 

Price

• Tineco A10 Hero: $189 (sometimes it can be as low as $150, if they are offering a coupon on Amazon).
• Dyson V8 Animal: $414 (pricing can also vary on Amazon)

Packaging

Both vacuums are well packaged.  The Tineco does come with an accessory bag to store additional accessories as well as a docking station.  The Dyson has a hanging thing for the wall, but it does not have storage for two of the 4 accessories it comes with.

Suction Power

The suction power varies slightly:

• 24/110watt –> Tineco A10 Hero
• 20/115watt –>Dyson V8 Animal

Battery Running Time

• Tineco A10 Hero: 25/7 min (battery is detachable and you can buy an extra battery to get double run time)
• Dyson V8 Animal: 40/7 min (battery is not detachable, fixed run time)

• Tineco A10 Hero: Yes

Main Weight of Unit

• Tineco A10 Hero: 1.30kg – super lightweight, easy clean for high places

LED Light

This is important so you can see under furniture and more in non-well lit areas.

• Tineco A10 Hero: Yes
• Dyson V8 Animal: No

Power Switch Lock

• Tineco A10 Hero: Yes, you don’t have to hold the power button while cleaning all the time, which reduces the use of your trigger finger
• Dyson V8 Animal: No, you need push it in and have it engaged all the time.  But not having it engaged all the time, might save battery life too.
