Revolutionize How You Clean With the Dyson Cyclone V10

November, 12th

When you have diagnosed OCD and own pets, the combination can be cause for anxiety. No matter how consistent you are in your cleaning routine, the home never seems to be rid of pet hair. That was, until the Dyson Cyclone V10.

Dyson is on a mission to kill the corded vacuum, and with the Cyclone V10 the company claims its finally done it, producing a cordless vacuum so powerful that you’ll never want a wire. Although I’m not sure who would want a wire over a cordless vacuum anyways.

There are three versions of the V10 available, which differ in color and which attachments you get, but are otherwise identical. According to Dyson, the Cyclone V10 has a total redesign that makes the V10 a significant leap forward from the V8 – hence skipping the 9 – improving battery life, suction power, efficiency, and usability. The Cyclone V10 is a cordless, battery-powered stick vacuum with a self-contained bin. Making the new vacuum more efficient, Dyson redesigned the bin to move parallel to the main shaft, rather than perpendicular. This helps facilitate a point-and-release method of emptying the bin. In terms of performance, the V10 sucks…hard! With three modes (1, 2, and Max) dust, dirt, and hair are no match. The extra brush heads and extensions make the cleaning machine suitable for carpets, hard floors, and basically any surface where debris can hide. Yes, even those tight spots in couch cushions!

As always with a cordless, the battery is your only limitation. V10 boasts an hour charge, which is a step up from the V8 at 40 minutes but beware: the hour battery life is on the lowest suction mode and not on 2 or max, which crank up suction and also suck battery life to as low as 10-15 minutes. Bottom line: save the max speed for quick pick-up messes and not an all-out 3 bedroom home clean!

Dyson Cyclone V10: Specs

  • Up to 60 minutes battery life
  • 3.5 hour charge time
  • 0.76 litre bin volume
  • 250x1249x256mm
  • 2.68kg

The Product Download: Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau de Parfum

November, 2nd

Product Line: Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau de Parfum

Product Line Claim: Introducing Arizona Eau de Parfum, the first fragrance from Proenza Schouler. Discover this radiant and blooming floral scent will spark your spirit of discovery. Arizona is a state of mind, feeling of adventure, a place of beauty and mystery. Inspired by nature, this scent includes an innovative floral accord of white cactus flower never before used in perfumery combined with a creamy orris will ignite your adventurous side.

Pros: The leaves have started to change & so should your scent! That’s a bold statement coming from me; I haven’t changed my scent in years. That is, until I fell in love with Proenza Schouler’s Arizona: the perfect warm scent for the cooler fall days. With notes of orris & white cactus flower, you’re sure to get visions of your next autumn adventure.

Cons: The only con about this fragrance is that for 3 weeks now I have been unable to pinpoint a perfume from my past that it’s reminiscent of. I have racked my brain, picked the minds of friends and family and yet here I am nearly a month in unable to identify its perfume counterpart. Help a sister out and DM moi if you have the answer!
