Love Dyson
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love dyson products. I purchased a vacuum 17 years ago. It was wonderful. I wanted something lighter. This was the answer!

MEH-great marketing for mediocre product
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not really sure the cost matches the value. I guess I bought the name-not the product. It does pick up anything larger than a sunflower seed and I have to sweep before using. On max suction-I can only get through one flight of stairs before it dies and have to wait 5 hours for it to recharge. bATTERY LASTS BARELY 7 MINUTES.

Posted .Hello Valeria, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've found the suction, run time and performance of your V8 Animal to be so disappointing thus far. The Dyson V8 Animal cordless vacuum cleaner has a run-time enhancing trigger. Battery power is only used when the trigger is pushed – it is not wasted when moving from room to room, or moving around obstacles. All of our cordless units do come switched on to MAX mode out of the box, otherwise, when not set to MAX mode, a full charge gives 40 minutes of fade free power or 30 minutes when using the motorized floor tool.
When using your machine in MAX with the direct-drive Motorhead, run time will be approximately 7 minutes. Dyson Animal variants come equipped with a mini motorized head which is designed to pick up pet hair from furniture and stairs. You can also use this tool with the machine in MAX power for optimum pick-up, if you find that standard power is leaving pet hair behind.
We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Favorite vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this vacuum for the convenience of vacuuming the tile and stairs and has been perfect. It’s not our main vacuum so the small dust/dirt canister isn’t a problem.

Expected a Better Vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is tiring to push and hold the button to make the vacuum stay on. It is not easy to empty. You have to empty the vacuum a lot because the container is small. It does a good job vacuuming.

Love this item
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for every day vacuuming. The battery life is not great, but it gets the job done and does great with our dog's hair. Much better than other ones of a similar size.

Nice

I would recommend this to a friend Not impressed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this vacuum since February 2024, I wish I would have returned it right away. Have had nothing but problems with this vacuum, from not picking up to battery going out. I only use this on our tile floors downstairs so not alot. This would have to be my biggest purchase regret I have ever made. I have a cheap $85 Amazon vacuum that I use that works better.

Good for quick clean ups
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good vacuum for quick clean ups and collecting dog hair. Battery doesn’t last very long when running on high speed. Easy to get in thought areas and light weight

Posted .Hello Jeff, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for your review of the Dyson V8 Animal. Your vacuum will come with standard and Max power modes. Our cordless models also have a run-time enhancing light touch trigger which ensures battery power is only used when the trigger is pushed. In Max power run time will be up to 7 minutes, and in standard power, you can expect run times of up to 30-40 minutes depending on which tool or attachments you are using. Having a shorter run time does sound unusual, and we'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected]. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes,
Kelly
