Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this vacuum because I wanted something lighter and easier to use than our heavy upright. So far, it has worked well, and in some cases better than the bigger vacuum. I do wish there were written directions as well as the pictographic ones, however. For instance, I'm not sure what some of the attachments are meant for ( although I know what I will use them for.)

This is an excellent vacuum. Cleans throughly. Easy to customize and empty. One charge lasts long enough to vacuum an entire floor. I highly recommend this product.

My son has a Dyson stick vacuum and after using his I knew it would go on my must have list. The best thing about the Dyson is no cord to get in the way (the hardest thing to get used to.). It makes cleaning almost effortless. If you want a vacuum with plenty of power, this would be the one to get.

I got a new V8 as mine started dying after almost 2 yrs of everyday use. I purchased the 2-year warranty from Best Buy, I went to the store for repairs but They replaced my old one. I am so happy as my V8 is the 1st ever greatest vacuum cleaner. I got dogs and it works like magic. I have another well-reviewed vacuum brand unit and you can see the difference how it worked.

The battery lasts around 5 mins which is not enough time to clean my place. Cant return now. Sucktion is good.

I live in a tiny apartment and this more than does the trick to actually vacuum the entire place. Not only is it powerful, it's super light which makes it easy to transport and clean up small messes. The only thing that isn't great is its small storage capacity, but it's really easy to empty the bin.

This vacuum is awesome! Makes quick vacuuming easy and quick! This has replaced our super expensive Miele as the main vacuum in the house. Only negative is short battery life but you can easily charge it back up if you need to vacuum more than 30 mins.

I expected more out of this vacuum since it’s a Dyson and the price is so much. It is light weight and easy to assemble from one attachment to another. First thing it says is to charge for 5 hours, but It does come with a dock so you can hang it anywhere. The button doesn’t stay on, you have to hold it down in order for the vacuum to continuously run. Emptying out the container is a little annoying and I haven’t been able to figure out a smooth way of dispensing yet or maybe it’s always difficult. It doesn’t pick up dirt from the carpet first swipe, I had to go over multiple times to clean. Hardwood floors it worked okay on. Didn’t make any of the small pieces fly around. It doesn’t pick up items as big as cereal which is annoying since I bought this to not have to sweep. Overall it works, just not worth the price or quality.

This does a pretty good job on carpet and lasts a full 30 minutes + per charge, but it does not do a good job on hardwood as far as small bits and dust. I wavered between this one and the one with the soft interchangeable brush for the next model up - should have spent the extra $200 and got that model. However, I can use this often and not worry about having to pull out my full size vacuum most times. It is easy to use and charges pretty quickly. I like how easy it is to dump the dirt.

Dyson never lets me down with their quality..Love this!

Moving from one floor type to another is a breeze with this Dyson, being cordless is huge for not tripping on the cord!

This is just a perfect combination of being lightweight, powerful, and flexible. Our downstairs is tile and what used to be an hours long process of sweeping is now less than 30 minutes. I actually vacuum recreationally now...it's very soothing and satisfying.

I was afraid to get a cordless vacuum because I thought the suction wouldn't be great! But this Dyson changed my mind. I love the power and how easy it is empty the container. I find myself using it in place of my corded Dyson (I thought I was just going to use it to supplement my other Dyson).

So I use the Kirby on the main floor and a secondary vacuum in our basement/lower floor. After going through a Hover and a Kenmore (which lasted a long time) I decided to go wireless. My philosophy is you get what you pay for in most cases, and so I went a bit more high end. While not the 11 I thought I'd go with the V8 Animal and I'm not regretting it. I don't know the long term, but in the short term it is excellent. I tried it right after using the Kirby. And I was impressed at what it did on what I would have thought was a good job, pulling hair and a ton of dirt that the Kirby was leaving behind. Needless to say I don't mind using it and as a bonus it is excellent on stairs. Nearly effortless is how I would describe it.

We have the big Dyson vacuum but we needed something a lil easier to maneuver around pet hair, human hair after haircuts and crumbs after the little ones eat. It charges quickly and it's easy to use. I caught it on sale during Black Friday and it was a great value find! 5 stars.

I love the way this vacuum picks up the dog hair and how the floor feels after you use it..best purchase by far

This is an amazing vacuum. My wife and I wanted something quick, light weight and durable. This checked all the boxes, in fact I use it to clean the whole home now, as it so portable. I will recommend everyone should have this Dyson vacuum.

Thought about this purchase for a long time because of how much it costs but I am so glad a made this purchase.

This is the only vacuum I will ever use again. It is cordless so there was no cords to trip over or plug and unplug. The suction is great on the lower setting but it does have a higher suction option. It is great for pet hair.

Nice product but battery life only lasted a month, thinking it was defective.
