Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have cats and have to constantly vacuum the litter on the floor. This works really great and hoping it keeps doing its job for many years.

Great as i have a cat and her hair are all around, cleans the carpet area and hard floors really well, easy to use. Given 4 star as not a light weight vacuum

So far I like it plus getting special 0% financing, black friday and price match. I think it was a good deal. Still not sure why every stick vacuum gives you 4 clip on accessories with a stand that holds 3 but dyson did it too. So far thats my biggest issue is an accessory with no holder on the wall mount

I had so many high hopes. It literally will stop running after 2-3 minutes. It’s not full, battery isn’t dead. We spent hours on the phone and they say they’re sending us a part.

Does it job and long battery life! Cleans my tiled floor and carpet really well

It a vacuum with 4 other adapters for different uses. Yes you can vacuum the cars also.powerful motor. Great warranty included from factory.

I absolutely love my Dyson cordless vacuum! I have wasted so much money on other vacuums that never did a good job. I have a short shag carpet. The power in this light vacuum takes care of getting anything that is hidden in the carpet. My favorite part of this vacuum is the easy technique in emptying the canister as shown in the photos.

This is the best vacuum cleaner I ever have. Powerfully suction, light, easy to storage, excellent product. My housekeeper love it!!!

Cordless tools are never as strong as their corded counterparts. But rechargeable batteries and the motors they drive have come a long way. And this vacuum seems to benefit from advances in these technologies: it is compact, lightweight, and surprisingly strong. The suction and beater-brush action can't compete on the level of a corded vacuum but they are quite impressive for a vacuum running off a rechargeable battery. There are a few drawbacks though: (1) the design of this model places the motor and collection chamber at the top of the machine (where you hold it) and that changes the center of gravity of the vacuum which feels a little bit unnatural, (2) the high center of gravity and the pivot at the bottom prevent the vacuum from standing upright without support so it must rest against something if you need to walk away from it for any reason, & (3) the collection chamber is really small, especially for a vacuum that is being advertised for animal owners - so I don't yet know how much of a match it will be for my golden retriever. But aside from my complaints about the vacuum's top-heaviness I love the way the unit fits and feels in my hand - it is a remarkably natural fit. And having the motor and collection vessel at the top allows the vacuum to have a straight path for all the debris it collects - there is no bend in a hose (which is where things always get caught in other vacuums). The unit also comes with standard attachments that can attach directly to the top of the unit so you can maneuver into tight spaces like the floors of my car. So a lot of thought went into the design and execution of this vacuum but that doesn't make it perfect (for me). But I absolutely love being able to walk anywhere without having to plug-in and dance around a long cord. The suction is impressively strong too. I'm pretty sure it won't be able to replace my corded vacuum in the areas where my dog spends most of his time but it's going to be a godsend everywhere else. It sure is a lot quieter than my corded vacuum - but the sound you do hear is solid (no rattling of parts and and the vacuum motor is instant on and instant off).

This vacuum is extremely easy to use and not as loud as I expected. There are lots of attachments for almost every situation. Switching the attachments is easy with the large button. I was able to use it for the carpet, the couch and my truck. It has two power settings and the lower power setting is good enough for regular use. At max suction setting it was picking up a lot of dirt and dust my upright left behind. Empting the canister was simple too. Just pulling up on the top opens the bottom flap allowing the dirt to drop in the trash. I was surprised at how light it is when using it as a handheld.

If you are responsible for vacuuming your dwelling, you know the steps are the hardest thing in the household to clean. We have three flights of them, and they are all carpet. I have always lugged my full size Dyson up and down at times my shoulders would struggle to maneuver the weekly task. I do love my original Dyson, even at it's old age of eleven years. I was excited to get the opportunity to test this unit out for a review. I have always had my eye on these models, but had a hard time parting with the cost of them. They seem to be a bit pricey, but...once you get one in your hands and experience the thoughtful design, and true (no gimmick) 40 minute, fade free suction, you realize that Dyson had their stuff together. It's so lightweight and easy to use. From it's wall hanging charger base, that also holds two of the included attachments. I love the fact that it has two 100% powered beater bars. It revitalizes the nap of the pile in the carpet much more then I anticipated. It also has the turbo switch that of course will reduce the 40 minute runtime, but gives you a noticeable boost in suction. I am glad this unit has the battery indicator built into it, giving you a quick idea of how much more charge there is left, before you need to refuel at it's charger base. This unit is also ultra quiet. One feature I miss from other vacuums I've tested, is LED headlights, but I understand Dyson's reasoning. I would rather the power be isolated to suction, giving me more runtime, so I can do all my steps in one charge cycle. I give this unit and undeniable 5 out of 5 stars. I would suggest this to a friend!!!

This Dyson hand vac lives up to its reputation. Not only does it do a great job in picking up messes, it looks great doing it too! There are easily a dozen other choices of hand vacs in all price ranges but this one fills the small niche market of wanting both form and function. Assembly was straight forward and I had it on the charger within minutes of opening the box. The manual does state that it comes pre-charged to about 20% but recommends plugging it in immediately for 5 hours to fully charge the battery. It comes with an assortment of attachments that each has a very distinct purpose and adds value to the already high price tag of the vacuum. It does come with a fancy wall mount but limited to a nearby outlet for the charging cord to reach. I haven’t found that “perfect” spot to mount it yet as I don’t want it to be a “statement piece” in the living room. My interest in the hand vac is linked to the 2 dogs and 1 cat I have in the house. Our dogs have their spots on the couch and can get pretty furry in less than a few days. The chore of lugging a large vacuum out and unwinding the long cord is enough to discourage a daily cleaning of the couch. This is where the Dyson V8 shines. Its light, less than 6 pounds, and fully charged when you need it. Its more convenient to use the hand vac for small tasks than using the large full sized vacuum. I have attached 2 photos that shows the versatility of the hand vac. It has 2 suction settings that you can use to match the job. Most of the time, the lower setting is enough to do the task. The low setting got us about 40 mins of continuous use and the high setting got us a little over 7 minutes. This may not sound like much but this hand vac is meant to fill in the in-between use of your full sized vacuum. The first picture is what the dog fur looks like when we don’t vacuum it for a few days. It didn’t take long for the V8 to tackle the job on the low setting. It took the crevice and small spinning brush to do the job. With a push of a button, changing the tools was a breeze. My full sized vacuum would have done the job but way less convenient. The second picture shows the effectiveness of the hand brush attachment. Brushing the cat usually gets me another cat’s worth of fur on the ground. The cat’s fur is so fine that its easily matted into the carpet. The suction of the Dyson and the small brush head attachment did a great job in picking up the fine cat fur and only with one sweep too. Emptying the canister is as easy as pulling a lever. It does come with a washable filter that’s easy to rinse out in the sink. I highly recommend the Dyson V8 for homes with animals or small children. The convenience of having a small vacuum without unwinding a power cord will most likely increase my vacuuming rate per week. It might be one of the most expensive hand vacs in the market but know that you’re not only paying for its great function, you are also getting a nice looking hand vac that’s not an eyesore that you have to hide in the closet either. I hope my review helped!

Literally the best vacuum.. I love this vacuum I decided to upgrade vacuum since my baby is crawling the carpet needs to be perfectly clean unbelievable the dust it picks up.

Awesome and very handy, light and compact for easy use.

I love this vacuum so much I bought one for my daughter. I have no animals but it picks up my hair with no tangles. She has a cat. Easy to pick off the wall bracket and start cleaning. I have it tucked behind the door. Easy empting over the trash can with one pull.

The handle has a screw sticking out that is cutting up my hand during use. I can't set it in any further, and the hole edges are sharp. After a 5 hour charge, the battery lasts 10-15 min. Just an awful waste of money.

It was for my wife, and she absolutely love this vacuum.

Nice vacuum that is light weight, hand held, easy to use and works on all surfaces.

The best thing i ever bought in my life, the vacuum is great and the self empty system also. I would recommend this 100%. Battery lasts around 30 min.

So easy to use, just make sure it’s fully charged and no to use high suction as it kills the battery fast
