Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just got this thing and I love it. Has a decent amount of attachments that go on easily for different cleaning needs. The suction power is great and the initial battery usage time is nice. Definitely pulls up the pet hair/fur.

I have a big Kirby. Work great use it and then the Dyson . It pick up a lot more .

I’m glad I decided to get this cordless vacuum. I bought another Dyson because my previous corded Dyson is still working after 10 years of use and the thing just won’t die. Lol

the V8 animal is everything it's advertised as , powerful ,lightweight and easy to empty , I replaced one of the first dyson stick vacuums with this and it's head and shoulders above it ....

Its light weight and effectiveness in cleaning the floors has worked well for us.

Having previously owned a Dyson V6 that finally died on me I decided to upgrade to the V8 Animal and this thing is so much stronger than the V6. Solid design, strong battery life, and an excellent selection of different adapters.

We have mostly hardwood floors but this works great on the carpet we do have. Very light weight, cordless so I can go over the entire house without worry. We have a chocolate lab and the amount of dog hair it picked up is gross but it works like a charm.

Awesome product. Super powerful, and gets everything up. From the attachment accessibility, to the easy of emptying the canister, Dyson did a great job with this. Also charges relativity quickly.

Bought this vacuum as a second to the larger Hoover Pet Pro I already have for cleaning the linoleum and vinyl parts of the apartment as well as quick cleanups where I don't want to lug the giant vacuum around the apartment. This works very well and surprisingly can get pretty deep in medium-pile carpet and picks up a ton of the cat hair that gets down there. It really shines though when you're on some sort of hard surface, being extremely easy to maneuver and picks up all sorts of debris with ease. The only downside I really have is that the battery leaves quite a bit to be desired, especially if you're on the high-powered setting. If you're vacuuming a large area, this might not be the best vacuum for you.

The battery drains very quickly and doesn't last long.

Works great, gets up all the cat hair, I have 3. Easy to use and clean. Love it!

Great vacuum! No dragging cords and unplugging and plugging in. Great power and the accessories are so easy to use! The machine gets into all tight places and swivel head cuts down on lifting a heavy machine and moving furniture.

Amazed at how easy it is! Having the smaller attachment is a great plus for the car or special areas. My wife loves it! Also easy to clean out!

Great work horse vacuum. I have several for different places and uses. Very pricey, but, it is better than the cheaper brands. No cord makes it easy to quickly spot clean things.

A lot of power for a small vacuum.you have to empty it alot but it is powerful.

I'm very happy with my purchase. This is the best cordless vacuum I've ever had. Holds its battery for a long time, sucks up even the smallest Speck of dirt. it's light, inconspicuous and does the job in seconds.! I highly recommended!!!!

Great vacuum. I had a Dyson Cordless vacuum for 8 years and it was time to replace. This vacuum really does the job. It’s a little loud when on high setting though.

The absolute best vacuum ever. Perfect for doing a quick one over on the floors

I like the vacuum and its size. However i dont like how quickly the battery dies nor do i like that you have to hold the trigger the entire time while vacuuming.

I've used the same Rainbow for the last 24 years and it still runs, but I've broken a latch for the water basin and it makes it even less convenient to carry up and down the stairs. I've always heard decent things about Dyson, and I like their technology, so I decided to get the Dyson V8 Animal and I think it was a great decision. It's been probably a month or so and I use it almost every day. It certainly doesn't have the power of the Rainbow, but from a hand-held, it's not something you can really expect. What it lacks in airflow, it makes up for in portability, and design. When/if this one quits, I will certainly purchase another.
