Love it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed to buy a new hand vacuum cleaner and decided on a new dyson and I love it to much with up to 40 min of battery it replaces my dyson upright vacuum as I can do my house in half the time and reach places my upright cannot get to easily.

Good second vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why in the world don't they make these with exchangeable batteries? Love the vacuum. Does a great job in all areas. Of course, the could make the batteries interchangeable like all cordless tools they would just prefer to sell you another vacuum. That's why only 3 stars

Posted .Hi Dash, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to write your review on the Dyson V8 Animal Cordless vacuum cleaner. I am happy to hear how pleased you have been with the performance of your vacuum, thus far in your use. Dyson V8 Animal cordless is a hassle-free vacuum with powerful suction. The powerful direct-drive cleanerhead removes ground-in dirt and pet hair from carpets, and self-adjusts to pick up dirt and debris from your bare floors.
In regards to your inquiry, I am happy to inform you that the V8 battery can be changed in the future, in the rare event that it is ever needed. This vacuum was not intended for the battery to be change out regularly, however, if you would choose to do so, it is something that can be done by removing two screws which hold the battery securely in place.
Please consider sending us an email with your contact information to [email protected] and we will be in touch.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Electricity Leak
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a Dyson V8 vacuum. It is cordless, but when I used on the second day, I felt my hand was electric shock. My son tried and had the same. Now I had to wear a glove to use, but sometime it still went through the glove.

Posted .Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson V8 Animal. I am sorry to hear about the difficulties with your vacuum. What you described is a build up of static electricity. This can occur when the brushhead/tool moves back and forth over certain surfaces. Using a dryer sheet to wipe down the machine can help dissipate any static build up.
We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience and want to ensure your vacuum is working as intended. Please contact us at [email protected] with your serial number, description of issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.
Best Wishes,
Krystal

Awesome Vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this while it was $100 off. Totally worth it, it works great on our carpet, tile and hardwood floors. Also used it on our car (we have a 2.5 year toddler), get taken care of everything with ease. A huge upgrade from our previous vacuum!

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love this and all our Dysons. We have a few cordless hand vacs now. Upstairs. Downstairs. The price and quality - this thing just works well - makes it an easy decision to add to the mix so we can quickly clean up pet hair or messes.

Thought it would be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had an animal Dyson, thought I would try this rechargeable one...it is ok, but would not recommend because its charge is limited when using it in max power mode. Did not compare to the power of my animal Dyson that is wired.

Posted .Hello Riks, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the run time of your V8 Animal, in max power mode. Your vacuum will come with standard and Max power modes. Our cordless models also have a run-time enhancing light touch trigger which ensures battery power is only used when the trigger is pushed. In Max power run time will be up to 7 minutes, and in standard power, you can expect run times of up to 30-40 minutes depending on which tool or attachments you are using. Having a shorter run time does sound unusual, and we'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected]. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes,
Kelly
