Unbelievable...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will admit I was a little hesitant to buy a vacuum with such a price tag, $600 for a vacuum is a lot of money. I currently have a Shark Professional Lift away. It is a very highly recommended vacuum and does a great job (So I thought). I got the V8 tonight and my first test run was to clean my car and the living room also two bedrooms. Was just kinda testing it out not going full throttle on cleaning the house. The amount of time you get on a charge is more than enough and honestly for as well as it does the charge time is a very good trade off. You might have to empty it several times but who cares. It only weighs 5 pounds and you save a ton of time not having to charge the vacuum and mess with moving a cord. 30 minutes of straight vacuuming wireless is about the same as an hour with the other BS you have to worry about with an upright. I will never buy anything other than a dyson again. For such a small vacuum I am more than impressed with this beast!! Plus when Best Buy sells you a damaged product and gives you $100 off it makes me like it even more. The picture is a 12X8 box after I used my shark three days ago...

Expensive but effective
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld vacuum is perfect for a 2 bedroom or smaller place. Powerful, convenient, durable and quiet. Although this hand vacuum is very expensive it is worth the money (if you can get it on sale). All the tools make it easy to clean every service in your house. You get about 25 minutes with the motorized head, but that is enough to vacuum about 1000 sq ft. The trigger is still is a little stiffer (than the v6), so if you have to vacuum for a long period of time it may be a little soar. Other than that no other complaints. And the new bin makes it easier to dump the debris without touching any dirt. I would really rate this vacuum a 4.5 mainly due to the price and trigger, but everything else is perfect for an apartment 1000 sq ft or smaller.

Dyson V8
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely the best vacuum I have ever owned and I have owned several Sharks and the Dyson V6. The V8 has stronger suction and like the V6 picks up micro dust that I've never seen the competitor vacuums pick up. While its a pricey vacuum, the ease of use, portability, run time and suction make this an excellent vacuum. The attachments including the hard floor motorized roller is genius. Finally somebody put some thought into it. Very satisfied with the Dyson family especially the V8 Absolute.

Great for quick use/HEPA
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PROS: HEPA, quick use, reviews. Needed something to supplement Roomba. After using it awhile, I would have liked to have a better rack system for accommodating all the accessories. I've had to put some on a shelf. Great for reaching high and corners. Awesome for cleaning the car. I have a roomba for regular floor use - this comes in handy for EVERYTHING ELSE. I don't see a reason to use on low power, always on max for me. Cons besides hanging up all the accessories is i think the adjustable brush needs a short bristle version. And better instructions for hanging (clearer). I ended up using my NEST Outdoor Cam (awesome btw) wire holders to hold the power cord onto the wall away to make it neat. The power connector cord is somewhat short so had to use an extension cord. I think that could be better thought out. If i could do 4.75 stars, that would be more accurate. It's not perfect. But it is great for those con reasons. The vacuum itself is excellent.

Love This Handheld Wireless Vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Without a doubt one of the best purchases I have ever made!!! And I'm saying this about a product that cleans carpets and floors. I typically hate cleaning and would much rather be playing video games or watching tv but after buying this product I actually enjoyed cleaning floors mainly due to the simplicity of cleanup and no necessary plug in of power or to be held back by a cord. The swivel head for both carpet and hard floors is amazing (only down side is that the hard wood floors or tiles might get scratched by the hard bristles so keep that in mind when cleaning surfaces) But besides that this Vacuum has all the attachments and I love the fact it had a filter for the air and has a powerful suction as well.

Flawed
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy using this cordless vacuum, but serious flaws especially for pet use. Hair (Pet & human) gets tangled around the roller wheels & unit wheels. Hair is impossible to remove. Filters require frequent cleaning, at least in dusty AZ. Taking vacuum apart is a pain & drying takes at least 24 hours.

The ULTIMATE Stick Vac!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my V8 Absolute! It has about the same suction in "Powerful Suction" as my V6 had in "Max Mode". And in "Powerful Suction", the battery lasts much longer than the previous models, including the V6. Instead of 8 minutes on the V6, I get the advertised 40 minutes on the more powerful V8. The "touchless" bin is so much advanced over previous models! Your hands do not touch the dirt & the capacity is larger. The wand (long pick-up tube) is coated with an anti scratch paint. My older Dysons really showed the scratches as you bumped the suction tube against metal, for example, under a bar stool, when you vacuum under the foot rest. The V8 does not scratch because of the new tough coating! The V8 is much quieter than the V6, or any previous Dyson. It has noise reduction chambers built-in & they are very effective. The new gentle push to release accessory button (big red button) is so much easier than pushing hard & tugging the V6 & all older Dyson stick vacs. Older accessories will not fit the V8, so buy the Absolute & get all of the tools at a substantial savings in the box. 3) blue indicator LED's show the relative charge level at a glance - much improved over the single "Charging" LED on V6 & earlier models. The motor head made for carpets has a more powerful motor built-in than the V6 & earlier models. It really pulls the dirt out of carpeting!

Q: QuestionIs there any way to lock the power button on without having to hold it while I vacuum?
Asked by Lili.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionCan you lock the trigger on the Dyson Animal V8 so you don't have to keep holding it down while vacuuming?
Asked by Mapucats.
- A:Answer 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!

Q: QuestionWill the Dyson V8 Absolute possibly scratch my new darker hardwood floors, if I use the appropriate option for hard floors rather than for carpeting?
Asked by Becky.
- A:Answer 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
Answered by Karl
Q: QuestionDoes the power button have the option to stay on automatically or do you have to hold it down all the time
Asked by Carole.
- A:Answer 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!
Answered by Kilikina83
Q: QuestionDo you have to wait for full charge to take it out and use the V8 absolute again? Also, why would you not want to use Max all the time, besides the seven minute limit drawback? How do you know that you're getting enough suction on the standard power?
Asked by Carol.
- A:Answer 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

Q: QuestionHi ... I am looking for a Dyson cordless and stick. My problem is that the electric outlet is close to the floor and I cannot keep it with the long stick for recharge as seen on the demo. Can I keep it lower or without it for next time cleaning work?
Asked by Stella.
- A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionShould I purchase the V8 absolute or the V8 Animal cordless to remove pet hair from hardwood floors? Is there any difference in the power head that makes the AnimalV8 more effective removing pet hair? Will you provide a side by side comparison?
Asked by Pet.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionIs the dyson v8 absolute the best cordless stick vacuum cleaner dyson makes?? Bob
Asked by Bob.
- A:Answer 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.
