- 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 empties into the Auto-empty Dok, which can store up to 60 days of dirt
Dyson has launched an updated V10 vacuum cleaner, with a self-emptying dock that store 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, with no need to open the vacuum'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, which Dyson says can remove up to 99.99% of particulars 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 that are designed to detangle long hair, so you don't need to spend time cutting or pulling it out of a 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 you might otherwise miss.

This is the first self-emptying system from Dyson, but the idea has been around for a while. In fact, we've already seen several self-emptying systems from rival brands, including the Shark PowerDetect Cordless and the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra.
One of the key differences between these and Dyson's Auto-empty Dok is their size. Dyson's dock is much taller, and therefore capable of holding a lot more accumulated dirt before it needs 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. 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. You'll need to wait a little longer for the Auto-empty Dok though. It will be on sale from July 8, and will cost £569.99 bundled with the V10 Konical.
We'll be testing the vacuum and dock together very soon, and will bring you a full review so you can see how this auto-emptying model compares to its rivals.
