Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love the V8 Animal. After trying a friend's V6 Motörhead I decided to wait bc I didn't like the run time, the noise or the fact that trash got stuck in the bin. The Animal fixed all those problems. The 40-minute run time is great. Long enough to take care of my cleaning needs, plus some (and I'm borderline OCD). The suction is great on normal speed so I only used the max speed once. It's very quiet so you don't realize how much it's picking up until you look in the bin. Very impressive. I would have liked to pay a little less for it, $300 maybe, but I paid $500 only bc I hadn't seen the price decrease in the months I had been researching, so I looked at it as an investment. For that reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

So i was hesitant to purchase this since it was siper expensive. I didnt belive it would be any better than a regiular $60 one. Boy was i wrong. This little thing on max setting is a beast. Picks up little crumbs and dust. Wont pick up larger crumbs. Work great on wood flooring (hasnt scratched it up lol) and even better on rug (the apartment kind, havent tried it on a heavy rug). All in all im satisfied and have purchased some extra attachments sich as the adapter to vacuum inder beds and couches

My husband complained about me buying myself a vacuum as a gift l. He said a vacuum is not a gift for myself it’s a home appliance. Well I messed up my back and my husband had to vacuum and he was so impressed on the vacuum power and how well it picked up. He’s been using it for any little thing. He even used it to vacuum his cars seats after our baby dropped her chips.

Vaccuum works very well. Has no issues cleaning up cat hair. Maneuverability is great!

Love love love no complaints. Worth every dollar. We use it everyday instead of sweeping.

I gave it 4 stars, but for a $400 vacuum I feel like it's mediocre. The plastic feels cheap and flimsy. It works fine. Not having to mess with a cord is great. There technically isn't anything wrong with it except for the cost. It doesn't work or feel like a $400 vacuum should. The battery life is decent but when it dies it just dies. There is no warning or decrease in power, it's just done! Suction is average. Max power is good, but drains the battery faster.

Great simple vacuum if you have a small apartment definitely recommend

Easy to use vacuum, Attachments are easy to change

I’ve always wanted one and it did not disappoint I love it

This is a powerful little vacuum. It’s the least expensive Dyson you can get, but it is still a Dyson. You do have to hold the power trigger down manually, but that’s not a big deal. If you use it on “Max” power then the battery doesn’t last as long. Even with these two minor inconveniences, it’s a great vacuum. My rugs are cleaner than they have been in years.

Very good! I have a dog that sheds a lot! This vacuum do all the job.

Great vacuum if you have pets. It works great and last 40-50 mins on a full charge. Highly recommend it

What they say is true. Once you go Dyson you'll never go back. Vacuumed with our old vacuum first. Then popped this out of the box and after charging it put our Shark to SHAME. The amount of cat hair alone was shocking. I'll never go back. Loyal customer for life

Nice and sturdy and has good power. Goes from different floor types well

Good suction and battery. Very light weight and easy to wield as well.

My old trusty DC5 just wasn’t cutting it anymore even with Chinese aftermarket batteries and so I opted to upgrade. Best Buy recycled my old DC5 and I got this V8. Definitely feels nice and the improvements are well worth the money. Like the new heads that don’t get tangled on hair and the new way to empty the dirt is great. Also was happy I bought at Best Buy. Was debating to buy direct from dyson but wanted instant gratification so I went to bestbuy. Luckily the V8 was on sale so got it $50 cheaper than Dyson.

Battery life isn’t very good but sucks good! Easy to attach and detach.

Overall I am very pleased with this vacuum. Pros: great cleaning power. Gets close to the baseboards and doesn’t leave anything behind. Easy to empty and clean. The attachments are wonderful for vacuuming the furniture, and hard to reach places. Cons: the battery life doesn’t last as long as I’d like. Nonstop vacuuming I only have about 40 minutes total so I have to recharge for about an hour before finishing. That’s my only complaint. I would definitely buy again because it’s been spectacular!!

Great product and design. Picks up well and several suction accessories come with it

This vacuum sucks…. Seriously it sucks! So much power! I used my shark cordless first then vacuumed again with this Dyson, and it pulled just as much, with a lot more of the fine dirt in the canister. My only complaint is the trigger needs to be held down all the time, there is no on/off, so you get some fatigue. Great attachment collection, lots of tools to get most every job done quickly
