Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had so many high hopes. It literally will stop running after 2-3 minutes. It’s not full, battery isn’t dead. We spent hours on the phone and they say they’re sending us a part.

Vacuum works well but there is one flaw that makes it a pain (literally) to use. The handle length is too short!! Both my wife's and my hands barely fit onto the handle and it gives us pain/blisters on the base knuckle of our thumb after vacuuming for a couple minutes. It's a real bummer too cuz the vacuum is nice otherwise. We were really excited to get such a nice vacuum after trying multiple other (and cheaper) ones but none were so uncomfortable to use. Seems like a major oversight considering it's supposed to be so wonderfully designed and engineered. We will be returning. P.S. My wife and I do not have giant gorilla hands. We are both 6ft tall with average size hands.

There’s little scratches and dirt on the surfaces right after I received pkg also pkg was dirty and delayed. I will not use bestbuy delivery service.

Complete disappointment. I LOVE Dyson but not this one. In fact, I have three (3) different Dyson but this was recommended to us due to the increased suction and longevity as we were looking for cordless. Sadly, this battery life was well below what was advertised and last 30-35 minutes. Floors are vacuumed every 3-4 days (clean freak) LOL and it would take 2 full charges to complete the floor. The floor space before anyone goes crazy is 1,100 square feet. I hate house chores so I am trying to complete as quickly as possible. I am not lingering like a Sunday stroll when I vacuum. :-). Loved the two part (handheld and floor) all in one. The attachments were great too. Everything around this ranking was around the battery life. Smaller area, it would have been a highly recommend.

This lightweight vacuum cleaner is convenient to use...until it stops working. Mine lasted less than 11 months, which doesn't justify its pricetag.

Pros , it has decent power , light easy to clean and use Cons short battery life only 10 min fully charge handle is too small and uncomfortable to use I will return it

Rattle rattle rattles, the Dyson V8 we purchased makes a loud rattling sound every time we use it I’m going to return it as soon as possible it just may be a defective model so I will give it the benefit of doubt, hope present a review in the future. CM.

Battery life sucks 15 mins tops and suction is mid I expected better since it’s Dyson and it being a $500 dollar vacuum

I like the way it cleans but if you have a average house like me it will take 2 hour to finish vacuuming. I full power you 10min max that suck maybe i should give it 1 and half stars. Maybe it just the one i brought

Very powerful vacuum, you have at most 15 min to vacuum your whole house before battery dies!!

Very disappointed I bought this at 350 dollars, for a full 100 dollars less I recommend the Shark Pet Plus stick vacuum. The Dyson V8 has a much smaller bin capacity, and lacks the lights on the front of the vacuum that the Shark has. Very upset I spent 350 dollars on this. The build quality and suction are not any better than the Shark for substantially more money. I understand this is the entry level Dyson, but you should at least be able to beat your competitors priced a full 100 dollars less.

I really thought I did a good amount of research before finally picking this vacuum and now I’m curious whether those reviews were lies. This is the cheapest and worst vacuum I have owned. I have had it for a year now and regret everyday that I bought it. The cons are as follows: can’t accidentally bump into any furniture because it will scratch, you have to hold down the button the entire time vacuuming therefore making your hand sore, there are two suction options; one keeps the battery on for longer but the suction is terrible and the max suction works good but drains the battery very quick so even in my home that is about 700 sq ft I can’t do the entire space before it dies. The only sort of positive thing about this is you don’t have to change a bag and it’s fairly easy to clean the canister.

Pros: lightweight Cons: battery last 20min in max mode-I hate having to hold the trigger for it to work-battery and handle get very hot in max mode-even in max mode it isn’t very powerful compare to other brand (lg-shark)-price

Had to return it because full charge would only last about 20 minutes. I liked that it is lightweight and easy to maneuver but overall for a family of 4 and a pet it is not convenient to vacuum for 20 minutes.

Battery life is terrible, a full charge will complete less than 2 rooms. While it is working the suction is good, but this vacuum is not useful.

I was so excited to get this vacuum because I only ever hear great things about Dyson. I was so disappointed in this. I have pets and a toddler, so I need something that picks up the hair and the snacks. It was great with picking up hair and tiny bits of messes. However, I found that it was a struggle just to pick up pieces of pet food. I couldn’t simply run the vacuum over it, but had to lift the vacuum and place it juuuust right over what it needed to pick up. Dog food, pieces of pretzels, pieces of crackers, etc. were horrible to try to pick up. After this, I’m glad I didn’t get rid of my Shark vacuum.

The battery lasts around 5 mins which is not enough time to clean my place. Cant return now. Sucktion is good.

I'm giving it 2 stars only because the battery life is so short.. like literally can't reasonably vacuum your house with this models.. if I could return it, I would to upgrade to the larger battery.

It is good while operating but very poor battery. On full charge it hardly lasted 20 mins. It take 2 to 3 hours to get full charge. Bin is very small.

Love the small size but the battery life is terrible. Does not hold a charge well at all.
