Q: QuestionIs the dyson v8 animal safe on hardwood floors

Asked 7 years ago by Maggie.

This question was asked about the related product: Dyson - V8 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum - Iron

• A:Answer It 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.

Q: QuestionWill the V8 Animal vacuum pick up kitty litter that is tracked throughout the house? If the vacuum is bagless, where does all the dirt collected and how to you empty/change it?

• A:Answer When 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:Answer Hi 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

Q: QuestionDo I need to replace the filters on my Dyson V8 Animal. If so where can I by them. I think it has the heppi filter

Asked 6 years ago by Ilikeit.

This question was asked about the related product: Dyson - V8 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum - Iron

• A:Answer Hello 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

Q: QuestionI have mostly wood or tile floors but a short pile shag area rug (14x16). I’d like to replace my traditional stand up Dyson (great but too heavy and bulky) and my old stick vacuum with 1 tool...will this do it? If not, can you recommend?

Asked 7 years ago by ShagRug.

• A:Answer Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson V8 Animal cord-free vacuum will provide you with 115 air watts of suction power. The direct-drive cleaner head has powerful bristles ideal for carpeting, but also work well on bare floors. You can not, however, turn the brush bar off, so if that's a concern with having hard wood, you may prefer the Absolute model. This vacuum will provide you with two cleaner heads - one of which is a soft roller. This floor tool was engineered specifically for hard floors. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
