    It is the best stick vacuum I've ever used, great suction and incredible use. the downside is the battery is not user replaceable in a way that is easy. otherwise good product, The carpet attachment does have a tendency to get stuck from time to time.

      Hi Dionyus, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're so happy to hear that you've been so pleased, overall, with the V8 Animal and have found it so easy to use. Dyson V8 Animal cordless is a hassle-free vacuum with powerful suction. The powerful direct-drive cleanerhead removes ground-in dirt and pet hair from carpets, and self-adjusts to pick up dirt and debris from your bare floors.
       
      Dyson V8 Animal also features two suction modes; MAX and standard. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. MAX power is really only needed for tough cleaning jobs. We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    We adore this vacuum. Not only does it clean better than any vacuum we've ever had, but it beats them all in convenience too. It's a great feeling to see some crumbs, grab the vacuum, and have it cleaned up in less than a minute, no cords or hassle involved.

    Wasn’t trying to buy a $300 vacuum, but I figured I could give it a try and return if it wasn’t for me. I kept the Dyson! It is great for everyday use in the kitchen and my sons room. Lightweight and great accessories to help clean the couch or the lent trap in the dryer. Very pleased with this purchase.

    I purchased this Dyson months ago and so far did not have any issue, great for cleaning the house while playing Bachata, couches, kitchen and places without dust flying all over the place, the only reason is 4 stars for me is the time you can use before you need to charge it really does not make sense however still a good Vacuum and definitely recommend it while cleaning the house.

    I bought this my wife and she saw it and said this is small and won’t work. Well now she loves it. It’s light weight, no cords and works very good. She has been trying to get her coworker to get one. Told her it’s light weight and works awesome.

    I purchased this for use at a small business for quick crumb cleanups from customers. It works great for that. We don't use it for more than a few minutes at a time so I can't speak to the battery life. We purchased this on sale, although I can't remember the exact price.

    Works well for occasional use. Limited battery life at full power. Somewhat disappointing. Replaces and old Dyson Animal Vacuum, which finally quit after 15 years. I'm sure this won't last that long.

    Great vacuum overall, but it does have a very short run time (especially if you use it on the higher setting, which I often need to use on my carpeted area). It works best on my wood and tile floors though! It does charge fairly quickly,

    This vacuum is perfect for my small home and is good on multiple surfaces. The variety of attachments included are useful, the charge lasts and doesn't take long to recharge. Picked this up on sale so along with the warranty from Dyson, the value is excellent.

    Great vacuum cleaner. We have previously had cheap uprights and used a family members shark. While the shark was nice, the light weight of the dyson is definitely appreciated. I can vacuum the whole house (apx 1600sq ft) on a charge without any issues.

    I am so happy with my Dyson. It works great on stairs no more worrying about tripping over the cord. Does a great job on hardwood floor and carpeting. It is very easy to clean filters as well. Dyson did not disappoint!

    Quality build with decent run time. The suction is good for the size and will do for smaller homes. More of a complimentary item for a large home when you need to vac hard to reach spots above or outstretched. Great tools and everything fits well.

    The suction power, ease of handling and emptying is great. But even with specific attachments, the unit head tends to roll over things like upholstery, bedspeads, pillows. I think this is probably due to its light-weighted-ness. It works well on hard surfaces, such as linoleum, carpets, hardwoods...things with a firm surface.

      Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson V8 Animal. I am pleased to hear you are satisfied with the ease of use and suction power. It may help to use the machine in MAX mode for debris that standard mode is not picking up.

      We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.

      Best Wishes,
      Krystal
