Horrible battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I charged it for four hours and that gave me 35 minutes of vacuuming. Not worth it. I returned it.

Posted .Hello Beto, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry you were disappointed with the run time you received from your 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).
We understand that you've decided to return your purchase. If there's anything else we can help with, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Well made vac
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dyson makes a well made product, this shows in the details within this product. That attention to detail comes through with function over design, which I appreciate. The main feature I like with their products is the warranty they provide for the customer. I have had to pleasure of speaking with tech support on this vac which was informative and resolved my issue within mins. Needless to say, most tech products don't have that customer service touch after the purchase experience. Pros: I like how organized all the items are placed in the box. You wouldn't think you were getting a lot of accessories when you purchase this item. Easy to read instructions. Comes charged at 20% battery recommended to fully charge before use which takes 5 hours on the first initial charge. Comes with a cradle to place on wall. Cons: No where to place additional heads. Placement for staff needs it's own location, losing items is foreseeable. Overall, this will last a long time and can be seen for reliability in the foreseeable future. It's pieces will need thought on where to store them and the price would have to be justified by the purchaser. At least you're getting a well built product that has great customer service.

Worked great for two years
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this vacuum for two years now. It has worked nicely, charge has been long enough to vacuum my carpeted upstairs, stairs and long rug in my foyer. Unfortunately, it seems two years is the life span of the battery. It dies quicker now and doesn't have the same sucking power. The motor gets very hot as well and almost burns my hand while I am vacuuming. I am currently trying to decide if I should purchase a replacement battery or buy a new vacuum...?

- Pros mentioned:Suction power
Surprisingly powerful
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressive performance. I was skeptical at first but the suction power of this small vacuum is ahead of its time. So far I have nothing bad to say about it. Someone reviewing the product said it is not replacing their regular vacuum for the entire house but I completely disagree. This is very capable of being your only vacuum. We get to do 5 rooms before it needs to be recharged again so the amount of time the battery lasts is not a problem. Also, for the price, it better be able to take care of the entire house! It actually makes you want to vacuum. It's fun and easy to use. Watching it perform is also half the fun. You won't believe the power.

Great Portable Rechargeable Cleaner
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit in 2022 and after 3 years, it is still going strong for speedy cleanups. My only gripe about this unit is its short time being a rechargeable unit. Easy to clean this unit and just keeps on going. How I wish this have an option to put a cord on it so it can have clean continuously. Other than that, this is definitely a great unit. I even bought a dog hair vacuum brush to use with this unit and it is still doing great. I hope that I will have more life out of this unit.

Great Vacuum wish batter last longer.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Powerful Vacuum This Vacuum Works Really Good! it pulls up the carpet pile really well and removes stuff you didn't want to know was in your carpet! Couple things I want to mention. When all the reviews say the battery life is short, BELIVE IT! it runs 15 minutes on Max power (maybe, I wasn't timing it but it wasn't long). Of course you want to use "super Suck on the carpet to get it good, but... I can only get the living room and hallway done before the vacuum is done and FYI the battery gets really warm and its close to your hand when using the vacuum. Then I plug it in to charge and it takes about 5 hours to charge. ** NOTE dont plug it in to charge as soon as your done (when the battery's hot) cause it wont charge (the blue light will blink forever and your going to have to look up what the heck that means and wont be happy that you spent $400 on a vacuum and the first time you charge it it blinks at you.... The canister is small, in mentioned apartment I emptied it 8 times, given the carpet has never been vacuumed with this super sucking vacuum before so it might get better. That said the capacity really not that bad. The other thing that i didn't see in reviews is the size/length of the cleaning head its the size/length of a size 10 mens shoe. So it takes longer to vacuum. The Small vacuum attachment works really good on stairs. and it comes with a wall caddy. All and all I would recommend this vacuum the things I mentioned are really not that bad (nothing prefect), its light but I think my wife will complain about the weight of it cause it starts getting heavier as you use it. (good thing I like to vacuum ;) )

FANTASTIC VACUUM BY DYSON!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to the V8 Animal after getting a dog. My girlfriend and I had a V6 Motorhead, but had issues with the dog hair getting caught in the bin where it was hard to reach. Here is what I like more about the V8 Animal VS the V6 Motorhead: Larger bin to collect dirt, longer run time, greater suction, easy disposal of dirt with new pull handle, easy to connect attachments with easier button to press, LED indicator light to show battery %, and it has a HEPA filther. I absolutely love this vacuum, especially on-sale at BestBuy for $399. This vacuum retails for $499. I recommend this vacuum over the V8 Absolute (highest V8 model) simply because it is a whooping $599 and all you get is the hardwood floor attachment. The only complaint I have is the run-time on MAX setting. It is still only around 7 minutes. That is why I rated this vacuum at 4 stars.

Posted .Hello Pedro, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson V8 Animal features a direct-drive cleanerhead, with gentle carbon fiber bristles safe for any flooring type, but powerful enough to pick up debris from both bare floors and carpets. While the machine will offer less run time in MAX power mode, most households find standard power sufficient for everyday messes. When using your machine in MAX with the direct-drive Motorhead, run time will be approximately 7 minutes. Dyson Animal variants come equipped with a mini motorized head which is designed to pick up pet hair from furniture and stairs. You can also use this tool with the machine in MAX power for optimum pick-up, if you find that standard power is leaving pet hair behind.
