Five Things on a Friday – 5/30/25

testing the latest version of the Dyson V10 Absolute.

Instead, empty the vacuum directly into an outdoor bin.Alternatively, use a bagged vacuum with a self-sealing design..

Tidy up clutter.The less clutter in your home, the easier it is to remove dust..Consider getting an air purifier.

Air purifiers can trap dust and other fine particles.They won’t eliminate dust, but can reduce the amount that you need to clean.. Don’t forget to dust blinds, curtains, and lampshades.

It’s important to dust everywhere in the home, otherwise any remaining dust will spread around the surfaces you’ve just cleaned.

Blinds and lampshades are often overlooked, so make sure you dust these areas regularly.. Wash bedding each week.The main downside is that there’s no internal collar for pushing out clumps of debris that might become stuck inside.

If this happens – which it regularly did during our testing – you’ll need to pull the clumps out by hand.. We also found that the flip-down action of the bin system caused a cloud of dust to be released.Most of the debris and dust still ended up in the bin, but it’s certainly not the best choice for people with allergies..

There’s no doubt that the Shark CH950UKT is amongst the best handhelds on the market, but it’s not perfect.One of our biggest complaints is that it’s not as easy to maintain as other handheld options.. For example, the dual foam filters need to be pulled out by hand, rather than removing them using a plastic frame.
