Asked 2 years ago by Vonne.
This question was asked about the related product: Dyson - V8 Cordless Vacuum with 6 accessories - Silver/Nickel

QuestionCan the Dyson - V8 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum be used internationally (in Jordan, specifically) - where the voltage level is 230V? And is it fine to plug it into an adapter since US plug types don't fit here?

QuestionWhat is the life of the battery. Can you replace the battery
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. While we can't guarantee a lifespan for the battery due to varying factors, I can confirm that we would generally expect the battery to outlast the free 2-year guarantee provided with all new machines purchased from an authorized retailer. While we don't expect problems to occur, the guarantee is in place to help protect against any problems that may ever arise or come up with a new purchase. I'm also happy to share that we do also have many happy cordless Dyson owners who are still enjoying some of our earlier models today. The batteries are replaceable, should you ever need to replace it. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
