    If you want to vacuum after breakfast/lunch and dinner is good enough. If you want to clean the whole house there are better options than this vacuum

    I have long hair and Dyson works great in sucking hair on the floor and easy to remove them. But like other vacuums, the dust may sticks and needs to be cleaned once in a month.

      Hello Azzy, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're glad to hear that for the most part, you've been happy with the overall performance from your V8 Animal. Dyson V8 vacuums have a run time of up to 40 minutes, when used in standard power mode. On MAX power, run time will be shorter due to the added boost of suction power. You should find that suction in standard power mode is sufficient for most tasks, while MAX is better suited for tough cleaning jobs.
       
      We would like to ensure that your vacuum is performing as intended. Please feel free to reach out to askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are always keen on providing support.
       
      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    You'll probably find this Dyson on the sales floor at a more affordable price, but that's because they are selling older models cheaper; but that's not the magic of Dyson. If you're gonna get one, get a Dyson of current gen. We got this and weren't as impressed as the demo one we saw... because the demo was V10 and this was the V8. So we returned it and got a V10. Haven't looked back.

      Hi Jessica, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with the life of the battery, in your V8 Animal cord-free. 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. 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.
