Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the vacuum! The only thing to keep in mind is this product is designed and marketed for carpets and upholstery. It does not come with the hardwood floors attachment so that is an extra purchase, but I love this thing

Dyson V8 handheld vacuum where have you been all my life? Gets the job done thoroughly in record time. I use my V8 for a tight and small space, so on high suction setting, nothing escapes. Bye bye to dog hair and Nevada dust in my living space. Easy to clean my vehicle, too.

Arrived DOA. Trying to get a replacement through Dyson because I missed the return window by 1 day with Best Buy

Bought this vacuum for my mom to replace her old heavy dinosaur vacuum. She loves it and says it has made cleaning around the house so much easier and faster. Plus it holds the charge for a long time and has good suction.

The best investment done in many years. If you have lab or any pets that sheds, this is a must. Put it in the cart and buy. You will never regret it. The ease of use to cleaning is just way too easy. No hassles of wires. Must buy for any pet owners.

We are very happy with the ease of use and power in this cordless vacuum. This is our second Dyson vacuum, the other is a corded vacuum. We have hardwood floors and this V8 Animal takes care of the clean up on these floors quickly and efficiently.

Buy it now! This is the best vacuum ever! I got it on Black Friday and I’ve loved it ever since! Amazing! Picks up everything! If you have tile or hard floors get the option with the soft roller head as I didn’t and had to purchase it later.

Love this vacuum! It literally does everything. We use it to clean up after our dog and our child. Vacuum the wood floors, the tile, carpet and inside the car. Best vacuum money can buy!

Wow so impressed. I did not want to spend this much money on a vacuum cleaner, but I would spend it 15 times over if I knew then what I knew now. Although the battery life isn’t super long, it seems to be plenty! I have two cats and a dog and use it every single day

Good vacuum but where you put your hand to power it is a little tight

I like the vacuum. It is easy to use and handy for small spaces. The only thing that I am not particularly fond of is the need for space for the accessories and a space to hang the unit on the wall. I disconnect the floor unit and have the unit sister-in-law on the floor by an outlet to stay charged.

Love the vacuum. Wish the battery would last longer. But I really love the power.

This is our second Dyson and we absolutely love it. We almost upgraded to the V10 instead, but we just couldn't justify the cost. The V8 can handle just about everything we need. Batter life is solid and performance is exactly what you'd expect from Dyson.

I swapped out my previous model for the newer one. After about 6 months, the battery seemed to start failing with the older model to the point that it would barely keep a charge for more than a minute. I haven't had any issues with the new model yet and I'm about a month in, so only time will tell if it starts doing the same. 4 stars only because of the uncertainty. I love this vac, though.

This vacuum is a lifesaver. I have a black lab that sheds like crazy, and this cleans all the furniture and floors with ease; hardwood and carpet alike. The attachments are convenient for vacuuming the sand out of my truck too.

I recently purchased this wonderful piece of engineering, and it has not disappointed in the slightest! The suction is fantastic, and the battery life is superior compared to other competing brands!

I put off buying this because I just couldn't stomach paying over $300 for a vacuum, ya know? But, I bit the bullet and got it and let me tell you, it was the best decision I made! Overall the best vacuum I've ever used.

The vacuum works fine, it's light and convenient. Battery lasts about 30 minutes under continuous operation. I use it for a quick vacuum of a bathroom, a closet, stairs or kitchen. It's so easy, 10 min. and done. Also, it is easy to store and charge. Highly recommended.

I needed a replacement for my corded Animal which last about 10 years. I looked at other options and was skeptical about a battery powered vacuum. All of my concerns were resolved once I got to use this unit. It lasts PLENTY of time and has great suction power. Well worth the cost.

This is the seventh Dyson that I have owned. With having multiple dogs over the years Dyson is the only brand which is built tough enough to handle the job. The model 8 is the best thus far.
