    Dyson vacuums are usually quite good and this was no exception. The V8 is really good: incredible suction, lightweight, relatively quiet, and reasonable battery life. The attachments are functional and proved useful in removing dust from couch cushions, miniblinds, and furniture/artworks hanging on walls and high places. My only con is having to hold the trigger while using it. I'd have preferred a single action switch. Great vacuum, highly recommend.

    Had to replace a 5 year old dc59. The V8 is a better design and stronger with a longer run time. I like it!

    Good product. My wife has owned these vacuums but they are delicate and the motor or some function around the motors go bad often. We originally purchased 3 of them for each floor in the home and under 2 years one broke and now under 3 years a second one broke. The motors went bad.

      Hello Betty, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're glad to hear that you found the Dyson V8 so easy to use. Your machine comes with two modes of suction, regular and MAX. While using your machine in MAX, you'll have a boost of suction for larger debris or more stubborn messes. If you are finding that debris is being left behind or difficult to pick up you can switch your machine over to MAX mode. In regular, you'll have enough suction for everyday household cleaning, along with longer run times.

      We would value the opportunity to learn more regarding your experience as we are committed to customer satisfaction. Please feel free to email us at askdysonUS@dyson.com. It will be our pleasure to provide support. 
       
      Best wishes,

    I paid a lot of money for this item, even on sale, and i've only used it a handful of times in the year and a half since I bought it. Was planning to return it because I realized it won't stand on its own, but missed the return window, finally plugged it in and charged but it never holds a charge it seems. When you push the button, even after it's been "charging" for months without use, it runs, stops, have to keep pressing the button. I'll be contacting Dyson about this. It sucks. Actually, it doesn't suck... as a vacuum should.
