“Hi, I'm shopping for a Dyson and i'm torn between the Dyson Ball Multi Floor Bagless upright and the V8 Absolute. Asides from the obvious difference in cost and cordless vs. Ball technology. Which is best for wood, carpet and tile floors?”

I own several of both: the latest Dyson Ball Multi Floor Bagless upright and the V8 Absolute. Each has benefits. We also recently bought a couple Robotic Vacuums. While they do not pick up to the level of either the Big Ball or the V8, we run the robots 3 days a week, and touch up with the V8. Any spills are best handled by the V8. The V8 Absolute is killer on hardwood floors with the smooth Motorhead. We use the Big Ball about once a month now; it is simply not needed and the cord is a real pain, when the V8 is so light & cordless. I recommend the V8, without question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Our house is a mix of hardwood, tile, low carpet and thick(er) area rugs. The absolute does everything with ease except for our area rugs. It just takes more time for the absolute to fully get a thicker carpet as clean as a traditional vacuum. The major plus side of the absolute for me is ease of use and ability to use it as a cordless hand vacuum. I absolutely hate cords, and never would use our traditional vacuum for spot cleaning. If you have a ton of thicker carpet, or need to do your whole house at once, go for the Bagless. If not, absolute is the way to go. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Buy the absolute for the battery time is more and yes it’s more money but I’ll think your be happier in the long run. Have your read some of the reviews
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Recently purchased a Dyson V8. Although I have a corded Dyson i have not used it since i got the V8. With the 40 minute battery life, my entire 2700 sq ft House can easily be vacuumed. The attachments are great and a snap to attach.

All Dyson vacuums are designed for use on multiple floor types, including bare floors. The V8 Absolute, however, is unique in that it comes with an additional cleaner head specifically designed for use on bare floors. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service
