Cordless vacuum cleaner: Dyson V10 Motorhead or Morphy Richards Supervac 734000?

Cordless vacuum cleaners are a relatively new growing trend in the cleaning equipment segment. Interest in them is primarily due to their compactness and ease of use. Vacuum cleaners of this type are always ready to use and take up minimal space compared to conventional corded vacuum cleaners. But not all such models can provide sufficient suction power to replace a full-size vacuum cleaner in an apartment.

The niche is rapidly developing and undisputed leaders are emerging. Today we compare two really powerful cordless vacuum cleaners, the Dyson V10 Motorhead and the Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 .

Dyson was founded in 1992. An English brand that has become popular thanks to its vacuum cleaners with a cyclone dust collector. The main production is located in Singapore. Positioned as a premium brand with prices to match. Official website of the Russian representative office: www.dyson.com.ru

Morphy Richards was founded in 1935 and today occupies a leading position in sales of household appliances in the UK. Since 2021, products have begun to be supplied to the Russian market, gradually gaining recognition from buyers. Official website of the Russian representative office: morphyrichards.su

And so, before us are two English manufacturers with a long history. Let's take a closer look at what they can offer to those who love 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. Inflating power at the expense 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 battery power, both manufacturers have provided two power modes on which 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 aW;
Duration of operation in TURBO mode – 7 minutes;
Duration of operation in standard mode – 60 minutes;
Full charge 210 minutes.

Characteristics of Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000:

Maximum air flow power in TURBO mode – 110 aW;
Duration of operation in TURBO mode – 20 minutes;
Duration of operation in standard mode – 60 minutes;
Full charge 240 minutes.

We see that the Dyson V10 Absolute has 36 aW more airflow power 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. 110AW of power is enough to clean and you get 20 minutes of turbo runtime, which is almost 3 times more than the Dyson V10. This difference is quite significant.

Functional

Many people still treat cordless vacuum cleaners with distrust, fearing that such a device is not able to cope even with ordinary dust, not to mention more serious pollution. Many manufacturers often even keep silent about the real suction power of their products. Morphy Richards does not hide such key characteristics, which already pleases and inspires confidence.

The maximum suction power of the model is 110 aW , and this is one of the highest figures on the market. Approximately the same capabilities are demonstrated by the Dyson V8 and V10 vacuum cleaners, but at maximum capabilities they work for 5-7 minutes, and the SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 lasts for 20 minutes and costs less (19,900 rubles versus 36,990 and 39,990 rubles for models from Dyson).

In total, the vacuum cleaner has three operating modes:

minimal, or standard . The power is reduced to 27 aW, the operating time reaches 60 minutes, which is enough to clean a fairly large apartment. The mode is optimal for cleaning smooth floor coverings from dust and simple debris;
maximum . The mode will allow you to cope with almost any garbage. Suitable if you need to clean the carpet from wool, and the car interior from hair;
turbo _ In this mode, the rotation speed of the vacuum cleaner brush increases, which allows you to cope with even the most difficult dirt, however, the operating time drops to 15 minutes.

It is clear that the degree of contamination of various surfaces in the apartment is different, so you can switch between modes during the process. Cleaning an average apartment with upholstered furniture and carpeting will take 15-35 minutes and one battery charge. The power of the vacuum cleaner allows you to cope with wool, hair, sand, dust and household debris as effectively as a conventional canister vacuum cleaner, but during the cleaning process you will not be bothered by wires, and the low weight has a positive effect on convenience.

The vacuum cleaner has a convenient, well-thought-out design and the ability to transform. In the h andstick configuration , the device can be used as a regular home vacuum cleaner: the model is maneuverable and will allow you to clean hard-to-reach places (for example, removing cobwebs from the ceiling or sucking up dust under furniture). If necessary, the device can be easily converted into a “handheld vacuum cleaner” format and used for cleaning car interiors or home furniture. Also, this configuration is suitable for emergency cleaning, for example, when flour spilled in the kitchen, or guests brought mountains of sand from the street into the hallway.

Air filtration is carried out at 4 levels, the key stage is cleaning with a filter that captures 99.95% of dust particles , so that all dirt collected from the floor and furniture will not end up in the air - it will remain in the container. The volume of the latter is not very large - 0.5 liters, but this is normal practice for cordless vacuum cleaners, because compactness and mobility come first. You can empty the dust container by pressing a button: all the dust will go into the bucket, and you can continue cleaning.

The main attachment of the vacuum cleaner is a motorized attachment with a turbo brush . It is designed in such a way that it absorbs dust well from smooth surfaces and collects wool from carpets. In addition to this, the kit includes:

crevice nozzle for easy access to the most difficult places;
nozzle for upholstered furniture;
nozzle for long-pile carpets.

For convenience, all attachments can be mounted on a hanging base, which is mounted in any convenient place (for example, on a wall in a pantry). The base is convenient to charge and store the vacuum cleaner. By the way, the battery takes a relatively short time to charge. Popular cordless vacuum cleaners from Bosch and Philips with a less powerful motor take 6 hours to charge. The model from Morphy Richards will fully replenish energy in 4 hours, but even after 2 hours you can start cleaning, since during this time the battery is charged to 75%. The battery does not overheat even during long-term operation, and if something happens, it can be easily replaced - the battery is removable. If you didn’t know, many companies hide batteries far away, which after several years of operation becomes a real problem, because any battery has its own service life, expressed in the number of charge/discharge cycles.

Air filtration

The 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. The dust is then retained by a removable fiber filter and the air then passes through the final engine filter. The manufacturer claims that this filtration system captures 99.97% of particles up to 0.3 microns in size.

The Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 has a similar cyclonic filtration system, but it's not as innovative as the Dyson's. Cleaning takes place in 4 stages. At the first stage, the cyclonic waste collector separates the bulk of the dust and debris, then cleaning continues in the inside of the glass. The combined HEPA filter removes 99.95% of fine dust, and almost clean air reaches the last post-motor filter.

When it comes to air purification, Dyson takes the lead. But from our experience we can say that it is unlikely that the user will be able to discern the difference in practice. 99.95% and 99.97% dust are very close numbers.

What you liked and didn’t like

The vacuum cleaner is very convenient and functional, but during use I noticed several obvious disadvantages. To be more honest, I’ll first write about what I liked, and then we’ll talk about the shortcomings:

Liked:

High suction power. I think 110 aW is a good result even for stationary devices, not to mention wireless ones.
Can operate at high power for up to 20 minutes, which is several times higher than competitors.
Two convenient configurations, one of which turns the vacuum cleaner into a small handheld cleaner. This is very convenient if you have a car.
Full 4-stage filtration against fine dust.
Good quality of service.
The button for adjusting the suction force is fixed and not clamped, like in stationary models.
The charging base is mounted on the wall, which is very convenient, because... The vacuum cleaner does not get in the way and is always at hand.

Did not like:

The dust collector is quite small - only 0.5 liters. But this makes the vacuum cleaner more compact and allows you to clean hard-to-reach places.
Increased noise level – 78 dB. The noise level can be controlled by lowering the power, but in turbo mode, cleaning is still uncomfortable. On the other hand, similar models are louder at lower power levels.

What is the difference?

The Dyson is a bit smaller and lighter. The difference in weight is only 170 grams (63 kg versus 2.8 kg), but it is there. And the less the weight of the vacuum cleaner, the less tired the hand that holds it.
Dyson engineers made a noticeable mistake in the “trigger”, which cannot be fixed. Those. you always have to hold it with your finger, otherwise the vacuum cleaner turns off. Initially, the meaning of this decision was to save battery in this way. However, many users in their reviews complain about fatigue in their fingers during long-term cleaning. The wireless model from Morphy Richards does not have this drawback.
When using a Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean hard-to-reach places, say under a table, it creates a bend in the arm and the rounded body presses on the bone of the thumb. In this case, the grip cannot be changed. The Morphy Richards 734000 model has a rounded handle that allows you to change the position of the hand in a way that is comfortable for the user.
The location of the handle also differs. The Dyson's engine compartment is right under your hand, so your hand gets hot and sweaty after prolonged use. Morphy Richards has placed the handle further away from the motor, so long periods of use at maximum power will not cause it to heat up.
The removable design of the Morphy Richards SuperVac 73400 battery allows you to replace the battery without contacting a service center. The Dyson battery is built into the handle. The quality of the brand's products is excellent, so it is unlikely that you will have to change the battery anytime soon. But it is worth mentioning that sooner or later any battery begins to lose capacity and degrade.

This comparison is based on studying customer reviews and our experience. In general, we can say that the Dyson V10 provides its owner with a little less comfort when cleaning, but none of the models has any critical flaws.

About the manufacturer and product quality

The Morphy Richards company appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, so before I bought the vacuum cleaner, I had practically never heard of it. However, in the UK this brand has existed since 1935 and occupies a leading position among suppliers of household appliances. According to statistics from last year, 9 out of 10 British residents have Morphy Richards products (that's 90% of users!). This success is due to the high quality of the brand’s products and good service.

I haven't handled any other Morphy Richards appliances, but the SuperVac 734000 is very well built. This can be seen from the absence of joints and gaps between parts of the body. All parts are securely fixed and adjacent to each other. At the same time, disassembling the vacuum cleaner will not be difficult, thanks to the simplicity of the design. It is immediately noticeable that the manufacturer has taken care of user convenience. In my old vacuum cleaner, when removing the container, all the collected dirt often ended up on the floor. This has never happened before with this model.

Equipment

Given the similarity of vacuum cleaner designs, manufacturers also offer similar additional accessories for them. Therefore, the equipment of the two different models differs little. The number, design of nozzles and their functionality are almost the same. It makes no sense to compare the equipment in detail. Let's just do the listing.

Morphy Richards SuperVac 734000

Main nozzle with turbo brush;
Crevice nozzle (for hard-to-reach places);
Nozzle for upholstered furniture;
Nozzle for long-pile carpets.

Vacuum cleaner Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000

Cleaning your apartment or house with a cordless vacuum cleaner can be an enjoyable experience, especially if you do it with the SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 . This is one of the two main new products in the company’s current range of vacuum cleaners, which, despite being the “junior” in the series, can offer enough opportunities for comfortable cleaning. As is the case with the older model, the vacuum cleaner under review received very high suction power, allowing it to seriously compete with the current market leaders. This statement is also supported by good autonomy indicators, which, combined with low weight, makes it possible to minimize cleaning time. True, the latter will depend directly on the area of the premises and their coverings.

A big advantage regarding the same ease and comfort during the cleaning process is high maneuverability, as well as the relatively low weight of the structure. Many people are probably familiar with this feeling of fatigue after cleaning, which arises mainly due to the fact that corded vacuum cleaners have to be actively carried or carried around. Here you are unlikely to experience anything similar, since the total weight of the vacuum cleaner in the standard configuration is only 2.8 kilograms, most of which falls on the motor unit at the top. This weight distribution will allow you to easily handle the vacuum cleaner and will not cause discomfort.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000, you can do so on the page of the company’s official website. In the meantime, we will continue.

conclusions

Summarize. Both models of cordless vacuum cleaners are quite powerful and quite interesting. Both are from quality British brands. However, they also have significant differences. The Dyson V10 Motorhead will provide its owner with slightly greater suction power and an innovative air filtration system. Morphy Richards SuperVac Sleek Pro 734000 can contrast it with more balanced characteristics (duration of operation in maximum power mode) and ease of use. It is also worth taking into account the cost - Dyson products have never been budget friendly. While Morphy Richards produces household appliances in the mid-price category. We hesitate to give preference to one model or another. Both deserve the honor of playing a major role in cleaning the modern home. And advantages and disadvantages are perceived differently by different buyers. Everyone must decide for themselves which of the two vacuum cleaners they prefer.

The difference between the Morphy Richards 734000 and 734050

I spent a long time choosing between the Morphy Richards 734000 and 734050 models, because... they have similar technical characteristics. There are only two significant differences between vacuum cleaners:

The SuperVac 734000 features a wall-mounted charging dock that screws onto the wall. This is convenient because the device does not take up much space and looks organically in the interior. The SuperVac 734050 vacuum cleaner has a floor-mounted charging base made in the form of a stand. It gets in the way when cleaning and takes up a lot of space.
Model 734000 has two configurations: standard and manual. In the first case, the motor unit is on top, and the vacuum cleaner works in conjunction with a long tube. In the manual configuration, the tube is detached, making the device smaller and lighter. But the SuperVac 734050 model, in addition to the manual and conventional configuration, also has a vertical one, which helps to clean under sofas and other low furniture.

I liked the SuperVac 734000 vacuum cleaner because of its light weight and convenient docking station, but 734050 is also a good model. If you have a lot of furniture, then it is better to opt for the second option.
