Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beautifully engineered - once you figure out how to empty the bin - watch the online video. Had a hard time picking up a large pile of spilled potting mix, but is great with normal level dirt and debris. Perfect tool for cleaning up after mischievous pet messes, probably not the best tool for a large carpeted house.

Excellent - good product . Value for money especially on the black friday deal .!

The Dyson V8 Animal is a vey impressive cordless vacuum and another solid entry in the Dyson line. Most of my house is hard flooring so I wasn't able to gauge the quality of the supplied direct drive cleaner head on carpet. What I can say is that it cleaned my flooring in spectacular fashion. We have multiple dogs and cats and the rolling hairballs disappeared with minimal effort. It also sucked up multiple LEGO pieces with little fanfare. The nice thing about the canister system on the vacuum is that it is very easy to pick through the dirt to rescue small pieces that you didn't intend to suck up. My kids are thankful. The pivoting head also makes corners and tight spots easier to reach quickly. I did use the vacuum on several rugs throughout the house and they seem to do a great job of at least giving the appearance that they are cleaner. I didn't get down on my hands and knees and do a thorough inspection of the rug fibers, but it was certainly good enough for me. A word of caution about the suction on this model. It's intense. One of my lighter rugs got jammed in the head due to the suction, not the head itself. Battery life easily hit 40 minutes for me as I was doing mostly hard floors. Possibly with more carpeting the battery life may be shorter as it puts more strain on the cleaning head. The additional tools supplied are great for cleaning in deep crevices of a sofa for instance. As a whole I think the V8 Animal is wonderful, but the price does give me pause. I know Dyson is generally spendy and I do believe you get what you pay for in this case. If you want a solid cordless vacuum that will last then the Dyson is pretty much the standard.

It is a dyson, so good quality and warranty, good power

The Dyson - V 8 Animal is the greatest vacuum I have ever owned.

Lives up to its reputation and more. The only vacuum worth buying.

I've had/gone through 4 Dyson vacuums, and this is my favorite of the bunch. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5* was due to the battery life.

Easy to use any where in the house, from carpet, kitchen floor to bathroom.

I thought my old vacuum did well until I used this, it picks up animal hair VeryWell

This vacuum works great! Easy to use and cleans well.

Have one of our own. My mother-in-law absolutely loves it

So far this is the best little vac I’ve gotten in a long time. I vacuumed the whole house with no problems at all. The only time I stopped was to change the plug position. Powerful enough that I don’t have to go over the same fifty times.

Great purchase, will definitely recommend Absolutely no regrets
