Is there a lot of bending over when doing floors and carpet? I’m tall so just wondering about that. Also do you have to attach docking station right away to charge? I’m not sure if I can mount it on my wall myself. null

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a lot of bending over. I am 5’8 and it is uncomfortable. Still trying to figure out if there is any way to make the upright longer

I'm 5'5" and I have no issues. The wand is long and for most jobs I don't bend, but vacuuming does require some bending to get under furniture, far reaching carpet...I did not mount my vacuum. Instead it is plugged into the wall and sits on the floor in my laundry room. I grab it to clean up small messes in my kitchen and use as "dust-buster." When I need to add the wand, I just snap it on--easy slide and click

I’m 5’3” and there’s no bending over at all when I’m using the long floor attachments. You can charge it without using the wall docking station.

There is no bending over when using the dyson. When I empty the cup, I actually pick the vacuumn up, and hold it over the trashcan. It is very light weight. you do have to charge it when you first open it. I did not install a docking station, it is not required. It would be ideal to do this, but like you I don't really have a good place to do this. I just charge it with the cord at whatever outlet is available at the time.

Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for your interest in the Dyson V8 Absolute. This vacuum provides enough length to vacuum floors comfortably without having to bend over. The docking station is not a required part and can be charged without it. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

I'm short so can't answer your question about bending. I have never bothered to attach the docking station to a wall. It's not necessary. Just plug the charger in wherever and whenever you want to charge. It's so easy.
