||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really am so happy that I bit the bullet and purchased this. So handy for quick clean ups around kids and animals, but also I find myself vacuuming after them more often because it's too easy to get out and put up without messing with cords, etc....You won't regret it!
I would recommend this to a friendPoor battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything is great about this product except the battery. It has a run time of about 15-20 minutes in a full charge. To vacuum a house with multiple levels, you will need to recharge 6 times.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this product for my second home, replacing a canister model.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great 75% of the time, but than it does this weird surging thing and is hard to use. Also painful of the trigger finger you have to hold the same time. Thinking about upgrading . . .

Posted .Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We are sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Dyson V8 Animal. We speak to our owners frequently and they tell us that cordless vacuums have changed the way they clean. We hear they clean more often, but in shorter bursts, spending less than 20 minutes per clean. With regard to the pulsing you're now experiencing, I can confirm that this would either indicate that your filter needs to be washed, or that you have a blockage someplace within the machine. We'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you to learn more about your experience and provide you with support to assist with resolving the problem. Please contact us directly at [email protected] and it will be our pleasure to assist you further.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Good Bang for Buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even if it's a couple generations behind, this cordless vacuum still handles all my needs. On carpet this thing is really picks up everything especially on the high setting.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent Stick Vac
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this since we have two dogs and hardwood floors. This has been a fantastic cleaning up the dog fur. The run time is perfect for spot cleans and the area rug. We get close to the stated 40 min battery life. We do use a full size vacuum for whole house cleaning.
I would recommend this to a friendExpensive vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed with this expensive vacuum, returned due to bad performance

It’s ok
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well, battery doesn’t last long though. Also, if you don’t keep the filter in the top clean it loses suction quickly. Real hassle when you’re doing a project including vacuuming up drywall dust. Expect more for the money.

Posted .Hi Mark, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for your review of the Dyson V8 Animal. Your machine will require filter washing every 30 days. This is to ensure that the airflow path is kept clear, and that your machine maintains its proper suction and overall performance. With regard to vacuuming substances such as drywall dust, you will want to make sure you're not doing this often or in large quantities. Drywall dust or other powdery substances can get trapped inside of the cyclone. This part of the machine cannot be cleaned with water, and if left inside can drastically reduce your suction power. 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
