Posted .Hello Andrew, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've found both run time and suction to be disappointing in your Dyson V8 Animal. 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

Posted .Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm happy to hear how much you are loving your Dyson V8. The 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. While regular power is suitable for most household messes, you may find that some debris is more stubborn to pick up and does require MAX power mode. While in MAX power, your unit will receive a boost of power, making suction more powerful. When fully charged, you can expect run time from 7-40 minutes, depending on which suction mode and tools you are using.
We would value the opportunity to ensure that your unit is performing as intended as we are committed to customer satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected]. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Good suction, bad battery
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We spent a good amount of money for this vacuum and a good amount of time charging it. I was unaware of the very low battery life-- on a full charge it only lasted 7 minutes. It works well for vacuuming like my other dyson products, but the battery is miserable.

Posted .Hello Kdla,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're happy to hear you've enjoyed the suction power of your Dyson V8 Animal cordless machine. The V8 Animal is engineered to provide strong suction with the versatility of a cordless machine.
We're sorry to hear of your frustrations with the run time. The Dyson V8 Animal provides up to 40 minutes of run time, depending on the mode used. It comes with two modes: powerful suction mode and max mode. Out-the-box, the machine may be set to max mode. Max mode is created to be a temporary boost of power for particularly stubborn messes, and provides up to 8 minutes of total run time. The powerful suction mode is ideal for the majority of cleaning tasks.
We'd value the opportunity to learn more about your experience with your Dyson as we'd like to help ensure you are having a 5-star experience. Please feel free to reach out to us at askdysonUS@dyson.com, and we will be in touch.
