    I felt like a fool ordering a $$$ vacuum but I have an all black german shepherd and a cream carpeted staircase... in Texas heat. Before I had to do 3 passes with a furminator brush and then lug my heavy vacuum. Now I just need this and a bag. All the attachments have turned me from a vacuum hater to some kind of housebug. I grab this for everything! I'm 6ft and baseboards have been my arch nemesis. The long pole attachment makes it a breeze. I can get all the drive-by fur from my dog off of the couches in a quick breeze, and if i spill glitter, it's no longer all over my house. I even used it to clean up some sawdust I tracked in from the garage. Max suction is VERY powerful and lasts a bit longer than expected. When I say very powerful, it tried to suck up my pens from about 3 inches away when I tested it on some crumbs on my desk. The only "downside" is the canister is small, but considering that it's cordless and you're carrying the entire weight, it's fine to carry a little shopping bag to empty the dust every few minutes on a heavily soiled carpet. (Daily cleaning can be done in one go) As for how it handled the dog hair? Please see photos :)

    Overall I’m really pleased with this vacuum. It’s easy to change attachments, and it has a good sized canister, and is surprisingly powerful for a stick vacuum. The only thing I’m not completely happy is the power button. A switch would be nice instead. The way the area around the button is engineered, constantly depressing the button gets uncomfortable pretty quickly. It also would be nice if the wall mounting system would accommodate all of the attachments that come with it. I would have given it 4 1/2 stars, if that were possible, due to these issues. Neither is a big enough thing that I’m unhappy with the purchase, though.

    I’ve been really impressed with this vacuum. The suction power is strong enough to pick up dust, pet hair, and debris in one pass. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver around furniture, and the attachments actually come in handy for corners and small spaces. The battery lasts long enough for a full cleaning session, and it charges pretty quickly. Overall, it’s made cleaning way faster and easier. Definitely worth it.

    A Game-Changer in Cleaning Efficiency!

    I recently added the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum to my cleaning arsenal, and I can't help but sing its praises. This sleek and powerful machine has completely transformed my cleaning routine, making it a task I no longer dread. First and foremost, the cordless design is a game-changer. No more tangling with cords or searching for outlets in every room—I simply grab my Dyson V8 and effortlessly maneuver through the house. The lightweight construction makes it a breeze to carry up and down stairs, reaching every nook and cranny without breaking a sweat. The suction power of the V8 is nothing short of impressive. It effortlessly lifts dirt, dust, and even pesky pet hair from carpets and hard floors alike. The variety of attachments that come with it make it a versatile tool for every surface and cleaning need. The direct-drive cleaner head is particularly effective, providing a deep clean that leaves my floors looking brand new. The battery life is surprisingly long-lasting, allowing me to clean multiple rooms on a single charge. The hygienic point-and-shoot bin emptying system is a dream—no more messy encounters with dust and debris. It's clear that Dyson has paid attention to the user experience, making the V8 not just a vacuum but a joy to use. I also appreciate the thoughtful design features, such as the instant-release trigger for battery power conservation and the easy conversion to a handheld vacuum for quick spot-cleaning or reaching high corners. It's a versatile tool that adapts to my cleaning needs effortlessly. While the Dyson V8 may be an investment, the time and effort it saves in cleaning are well worth the cost. It has truly elevated my cleaning routine, making it more efficient and even enjoyable. If you're in the market for a cordless vacuum that delivers on performance, versatility, and convenience, the Dyson V8 is a top-tier choice that won't disappoint.

    We were looking for a vacuum to do quick pick ups between using our corded tank type vacuum. The Dyson has become the primary vacuum! We foster cats and the Dyson V8 does an amazing job picking up after them. We have polished concrete floors and area rugs and the V8 adapts to all surfaces nicely. The attachments that come with the V8 are such a bonus when it comes time to clean out the cars or collect lint and dust in hard to reach areas.The Dyson handles well and is so versatile. It's amazing to see what the Dyson picks up right down to fine silt.Great Product!

    I will try to keep this short and sweet. This vacuum is hands down a game changer for the neat freak who has hard flooring throughout their house. As you may know traditional vacuums just dont cut it on hardfloors. This Dyson however, it is AMAZING! You can vacuum what may seem like a clean floor, but will be amazed at the fact that it is still able to find dirt somehow. The disposal process is easy to do and dumps perfectly into your trash can. The charging process is childsplay as well, with a clear and easily legable battery capicity indicator. It comes with 4 different attachments making it very versatile for any area that may need to be cleaned. I can vacuum not only the floor, but also baseboards, crown molding and even ceiling fan blades with ease. Ditch that old brrom and dust pan, toss out that corded vacuum, go with the Dyson!

    From prompt delivery, easy unpacking and assembly to actual use—AMAZING! I’ve hesitated due to price and I have purchased 2 others in past year that were like whisk brooms compared to this Dyson cordless. I have a long haired cat and babysit my 3 y/o great granddaughter every weekday. I so enjoy using the Dyson at least once a day just to see what I pick up. Of course first use revealed just how bad the prior machines, including my heavy duty pet vac, had been performing. Love that I don’t have to bend over to vacuum and to empty the dust bin!! THANK YOU!!!

    This is a great vacuum cleaner! It has a normal and a MAX mode. It’s excellent for carpet and hard floor. The battery will usually last about 35 minutes in normal mode and 10 minutes in MAX mode. It takes five hours to fully charge and has battery indicators on both sides to show how much charge it has. It can be stored in a wall-mounted dock that holds and charges the main unit, and also has clips for two accessories. It’s super light and pretty quiet.

    Purchase this item as a replacement of another brand that stopped working. Decided to upgrade and spend the extra money on the Dyson V8 cordless pet vacuum I must say this is one amazing product! We have long-haired dogs and this pics everything up on the first pass. this was a little more expensive than the other but Best Buy had a sale at the time and I got it for a great deal. I would recommend this product to anybody looking to make vacuuming easier on them whether there be hardwood, carpet or throw rug.

    I don’t give 5 stars very often, but this vacuum is a must have! I have a 10 month old and my priority is to keep the floors and carpets clean. This vacuum is so easy to get! No need to untangle cords and plug it in and unplug. I just take off the charger, vacuum and boom I’m done! It works great on hard wood floors and of course rugs! Also I shed so much hair. My hair is black and long. This vacuum picks it up with no issues and it DOES NOT GET TANGLED!!! Which is the best part. 10/10 recommend!!

    Very comfortable and practical, but there are 3 main issues: The battery runs out really fast — like really fast. You have to clean the machine after every use; otherwise, it becomes a hassle over time. If you have a large wool rug, using it turns into a struggle. Other than that, it's a great value-for-money product.

    I bought one of these about ten years ago, had it at my home for six of those, then gave it to my son when he started college. After that he gave it back and I took it to my office and just this week 12/23 I bought a DeWalt battery adapter for it. It has been the best version IMO. bought the V10, that didn't last as long so now I got another V8 to replace the V10.

    Seriously one of the best purchases I have ever made! I'm vacuuming almost every second of the day cause this thing is very lightweight... CORDLESS... and pretty powerful! Vince, one of Dyson's Senior Experts, did a demo at the store, and showed me how to use it, clean it, and store it. It was one of the best demos I've had in a while from an associate. Thanks Vince!

    Best purchase I’ve made! I have a Dyson electric plug in vacuum and love the Dyson brand! Our 100lb dog sheds nonstop! I was sweeping daily because I didn’t want to drag out the big vacuum. This cordless Dyson is lightweight, easy to use and powerful! I love all the attachments. It easier becomes a smaller handheld vac that is great for cleaning the car and stairs. I use it daily and am impressed with the quality and how powerful it cleans!
