Get powerful cleaning with this Dyson cord-free vacuum. Its lithium-ion battery delivers up to 40 minutes of cleaning without losing any power, and it easily converts between stick and handheld modes to clean stairs, ceilings and upholstery. The suction on this Dyson cord-free vacuum is strong enough to deep clean carpets and remove pet hair.
Q: Is there any way to lock the power button on without having to hold it while I vacuum?
A: Believe it or not at this price point there is no way to lock the power button. My friend got one, after 5 minutes her hand, wrist and forearm were exhausted. This is the most ridiculous design flaw ever and the answer given by the company is nonsensical. I won’t even get a watering wand attachment without a lock button. Imagine trying to get your house vacuumed in one go. This is a complete dealbreaker unless all you’re going to do is quick vacuum jobs.
A: I got this vacuum for Christmas and love it except for the trigger grip. I have arthritis and that position is painful. I keep trying to hold it a different way, but it doesn't work as well. This is a real pain. I can't believe they wouldn't design this with a permanent on option. Very poor design decision!
A: YES! it will scratch your dark hardwood floor. The rotating head doesn't scratch it, but the bottom of the stick somehow does. I have to be very careful and sort of hold it up else I'm bound to get a light scratch. Good luck
A: It has to be held down and to do an entire house causes me immense pain. My client has this vacuum and I dread having to use it!
A: Hi Carol. Thank you for your interest in the V8 Absolute. You do not need to wait for it to have a full charge to use it. However, without a full charge, you do not get the full battery life for each use. MAX mode is great for heavier debris. With the clear canister, you will be able to see that you are getting enough suction as you will see the debris within the canister, ensuring you that it is picking up. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service
A: You can choose not to use the plastic hanger part and just plug the power wire to the unit to charge it. We keep moving it around the house to charge so far since we don't have a pantry or space in the laundry room to mount it to the wall. we also remove the long stick so it takes up very little space. hope this helps.
A: The V8 absolute and V8 animal have the same power. The V8 Absolute has more accessories and is at the same level for pet hair than the Animal version The V8 absolute is more complete, the V8 animal can be sufficient if you only need it for pet hair
Q: Is the dyson v8 absolute the best cordless stick vacuum cleaner dyson makes?? Bob
A: In my honest opinion yes!. I do wish the battery was easily replaceable for more cleaning with this you have to undo a couple of screws. But if you vacuum for quick cleaning it's great. I get about 30 mins of cleaning with this v8 with the motorized head. The 40 mins of cleaning is without motorized accessories.
