QuestionMy mom has dogs AND hardwood floors. I see the absolute is recommended for floors over the animal, but is NOT hypoallergenic and is NOT designed for pet hair. Since the pet hair /dander is the main focus, which would you suggest as the best option?
Asked 8 years ago by CMH.
- Answer Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for your interest in the Dyson V8. Both are hypoallergenic with HEPA filters and a new hygienic bin eject feature. The Absolute comes with more attachments than the Animal such as the soft roller which is great for bare floors. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

QuestionYou indicated two filters. How do I get to the internal one to change it.
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. There are 2 filters on the V8 Animal - the pre-motor filter which is the cone shape filter that sits in the cyclone. The post-motor filter is the blue piece that twists on to the back of the main body. You shouldn't need to replace the filters as they are washable. However replacement parts are usually available at Dyson retailers or direct on the Dyson website. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
