Q: QuestionIs the dyson v8 animal safe on hardwood floors(13 answers)
A: AnswerIt is "safe" for hardwood floors, but the roller wheels wear out quickly and begin marking the floor. The marks come out, but not easily. I had to replace the wheels after 6 months and I about to replace them again. Not very well designed.Answered by melissa
- A: AnswerWhen using the brush cycle, it seems to throw everything back. I'm sure it picks up some, but looks like it needs a back stop of some kind. So no, I don't think it's very good at cat litter.

- A: AnswerHi Mike, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for your interest in the Dyson V8. Both the Animal and Absolute are the same models, the main difference besides color is the tool attachments. The Absolute comes with an additional cleaner head designed for bare floors. If you have all hardwood flooring, the Absolute sounds like the better option. Both also come with a mini motorized tool for use on upholstery. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

- A: AnswerHello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Your Dyson V8 Animal will have two filters; one that sits inside of your cyclone, and the post-motor HEPA filter. You will want to be sure to wash these once a month, and with proper maintenance, you shouldn't ever need to replace them. Most authorized Dyson retailers should carry spare filers; if they do not you may purchase them direct from Dyson. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
