Customer Ratings & Reviews

I currently own a V6 as well as this V8. What is nice is the amount of power this has and the number of tools that came with this versus my V6. I really appreciate that they've updated the canister dump mechanism. The drawback to that power though is that it's too strong for lighter weight area rugs. It gets hard to push on max suction and eventually the brush head stops. I assume this is an intentional design. Another issue I have is with the newer motorized head. On carpet, it doesn't seem to clean as well on the first pass as the the powered carbon head of the V6. On heavier rugs/carpets and bare floors, it cleans well, just wish they'd kept the old power head.

I purchased this vacuum around 4 years ago, and it just now bit the dust. The battery needs to be replaced (20 second battery life, lol), but also, the handle part completely broke. The plastic part cracked, and I can't jimmy it back together to make it last longer. I'm kind of surprised that this happened, considering we used the wall mount to store it and took good care of it overall. All things considered, I still give this vacuum 4 out of 5 stars. -I love the ease of using this. It maneuvers well and rolls under our couch just fine. -It has really great suction, and does better than any other handheld vacuum we've had. The carpet suction is top notch, but sucks the battery down a lot faster. -It is easy to clean and lets you know when the filter needs to be washed. All the parts easily open and the bucket is easy to empty. I am considering purchasing another, but also have my eye on a couple other models from other brands. I love this vacuum, but really wish it lasted longer for the price paid.

Great vacuum cleaner. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and I have gone through several vacuums that I have purchased on line, and this one has been the best by far. I paid extra for this vacuum and it has out performed the previous vacuums that I have purchased the past 2 years

Unfortunately this didn't last, i wanted to love it. It was light weight and convenient charging station that automatically emptied the trash was great, but the power, motor burned out. Always had an odd issue to it, charging life didn't seem that great either.

This thing is sweet and I haven't used my old corded vacuum since I got it. I also have a cordless Bissell but it was weak and worse than using a broom. I use the Dyson on the max mode so the battery doesn't last super long, but I also don't vacuum for more than 20 minutes straight. I think this is great for non carpeted floors but it can also do some carpet fine. I watched a video of someone just abusing it and was impressed. I never had a Dyson before and this thing is easy to empty and easy to maneuver. I love having no cord and would buy this thing again.

After 2 years battery gives out. We rarely use it but in the beginning when it was new it was amazing I didn’t have any issues with it it very portable light weight

I LOVE this Dyson model. This is the 3rd V8 I've purchased over the last 10 years. I have 2 dogs and 2 boys and use this product daily--it is amazing on all floor finishes, dog beds, couches, rugs, etc...and none of the other models I've tried compare with the V8!

Light weight, sucks debris off of the floor really well. Love the attachments, very versatile vacuum

If you are considering this vacuum, just do it already. It’s totally changed my household and my life. A lower stress level comes from the ease of cleaning up all the dog hair and the kid messes. The amount of crap the cup picks up every time I vacuum is so satisfying to see. The cup is easily emptied. The head is so maneuverable. The vacuum is light and doesn’t tire my arm. And I don’t think I could live without the docking station in the kitchen, right where it’s most needed. The battery life is tremendous: I have a 1400 sq foot house and vacuum on normal, have never had the battery die. I only use max suction on special, needed occasions. The Dyson V8 animal is my favorite grown-up toy, and when it’s finally had its last suck, I’m going to be super excited about going out to buy another.

Works great and have bought another one for my condo.

I love this Vacuum. It’s so easy to use and perfect for spot cleaning!

I've been using this for the past five years, and it still performs like it's brand new! I love it so much that I'm buying one as a gift for my brother-in-law, who just moved into his new home..

this vacuum works great in my 1 bed 1 bath apt! quick and easy cleaning and can’t ask for a easier way to dispose of dirt!

Suction power is great. Battery power is very poor. It’s a well made product but it needs a stronger battery to perform at least an hour

This vacuum is better than we thought, we use it for everything! Very versatile with any attachment necessary. We clean rugs, floors, stairs, carpet and the car with ease! We can’t believe how much this thing picks up. The battery life is okay for our needs on normal power, but expect to charge it after any extended use or much time on max power. Still, this is the best vac we’ve ever had.

Product is well made and easy to use. It looks good hanging anywhere and is much better than getting out a large vacuum for a small mess. It charges fast and last a long enough to get the job done. Vacuum picks up dirt well and empties easily. It is a premium product, with a premium price, but is worth it.

I loved this vacuum. It was great until about 4 years laters the battery began to die and the vacuum was lasting no more than 2 min on high and no more than 5 min on low. Great while it lasted.

I bought this vac because I wanted a powerful, cordless vac to maintain somewhat clean floors considering we have several pets. I love this product. No Long hoses to drag around my house, it’s fairly light, great for my stairs, and I’m not having to look for a plug in for each room as with my canister vac. I do feel the battery life could be better. Definitely need a back up battery for the price of this vac. Only other negative is the trigger. While I do like it in certain situations, it would make more sense to have a “lock trigger” option similar to a gas pump. Overall I love the product and can’t live without it now.

Love this vacuum. Does a way better job than my old one. Like how it comes with different heads. Great cleaning tight areas.

Amazing vacuum with gray power and very low weight
