      Hello Azzy, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're glad to hear that for the most part, you've been happy with the overall performance from your V8 Animal. Dyson V8 vacuums have a run time of up to 40 minutes, when used in standard power mode. On MAX power, run time will be shorter due to the added boost of suction power. You should find that suction in standard power mode is sufficient for most tasks, while MAX is better suited for tough cleaning jobs.
       
      We would like to ensure that your vacuum is performing as intended. Please feel free to reach out to askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are always keen on providing support.
       
      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    You'll probably find this Dyson on the sales floor at a more affordable price, but that's because they are selling older models cheaper; but that's not the magic of Dyson. If you're gonna get one, get a Dyson of current gen. We got this and weren't as impressed as the demo one we saw... because the demo was V10 and this was the V8. So we returned it and got a V10. Haven't looked back.

      Hi Jessica, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with the life of the battery, in your V8 Animal cord-free. 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. 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,

    This vacuum sucks great and is nice size. Very portible and convenient. However the battery life is atrocious! After a full charge (4 hours) it only last about 7-8 minutes before completely dead. Couldnt even vacuum my entire house before dying. Completed my stairs and had to recharge to do the reset of the house.

      Hi Blue, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're happy to hear that you've been pleased with the smaller, portable size of the V8. Your Dyson V8™ cordless offers two powerful suction modes - regular and MAX. MAX provides a boost of suction for larger debris or more stubborn messes. This mode should not be utilized for your everyday cleaning, as it will only give you about 7 minutes of run time. Regular suction is generally suitable for every household, and gives up to 40 minutes of run time (30 when using a motorized tool). If you feel that your V8 might be malfunctioning, we do offer a two-year warranty on this product. Just reach out to our customer support at askdysonUS@dyson.com so we can help.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly
