    We bought this since we have two dogs and hardwood floors. This has been a fantastic cleaning up the dog fur. The run time is perfect for spot cleans and the area rug. We get close to the stated 40 min battery life. We do use a full size vacuum for whole house cleaning.

    I like the vacuum, it is very easy to assemble and also easy to use. Price is a little high but you are also paying for the convenience and the brand.

    It works great 75% of the time, but than it does this weird surging thing and is hard to use. Also painful of the trigger finger you have to hold the same time. Thinking about upgrading . . .

      Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We are sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Dyson V8 Animal. We speak to our owners frequently and they tell us that cordless vacuums have changed the way they clean. We hear they clean more often, but in shorter bursts, spending less than 20 minutes per clean. With regard to the pulsing you're now experiencing, I can confirm that this would either indicate that your filter needs to be washed, or that you have a blockage someplace within the machine. We'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you to learn more about your experience and provide you with support to assist with resolving the problem. Please contact us directly at [email protected] and it will be our pleasure to assist you further.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    Works well, battery doesn’t last long though. Also, if you don’t keep the filter in the top clean it loses suction quickly. Real hassle when you’re doing a project including vacuuming up drywall dust. Expect more for the money.

      Hi Mark, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for your review of the Dyson V8 Animal. Your machine will require filter washing every 30 days. This is to ensure that the airflow path is kept clear, and that your machine maintains its proper suction and overall performance. With regard to vacuuming substances such as drywall dust, you will want to make sure you're not doing this often or in large quantities. Drywall dust or other powdery substances can get trapped inside of the cyclone. This part of the machine cannot be cleaned with water, and if left inside can drastically reduce your suction power. We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly
