Good Vac!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice sleek design with quality suction; price point is too high for what you get. Battery life isn’t that great, no trigger lock for continuous power on, have to hold trigger while using. Too pricey for what you get!

Posted .Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. 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

Bad Experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I wanted to use it the unit was defective. December 25, 2023 I used the website to diagnostic that the battery pack was faulty. I called Dyson the next day. Waiting time was much too long. A spare battery has finally shipped yesterday and I will not see it before January 5, 2023. For a brand new unit this isn't good service. I see nickel and dime having propriety to reputation.

It is powerful, yet light and easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a Dyson Ball Animal and have been loving it, but it is a bit heavy to haul around the split level house. The V8 is not as powerful as the Ball, but it is almost on par with the hyper full power switch. It is also light weight and easy to move around, it have been our go to vacuum for small job clean up.

Dyson
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.His was a gift for my brother. He had an older model shark. This definitely has the new car smell so to speak. Amazing performance. Just make sure that if you are using on hardwood floors take the time and buy the hardwood floor attachment as well. You will not be disappointed.

The battery only lasts 25 minutes
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It takes more than 3 hours to load the battery so that it only works for about 25 minutes, it works fantastic, all kinds of surfaces and weighs almost nothing but again the battery is gone after 25 minutes use. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought it, my mistake I didn't ask.

Posted .Hi Oscar, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear you've been disappointed with the run time that your V8 Animal provides. 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.

Great for Dog Hair Pickup
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was recommended this product to help clean up the dog hairs around my house. This product has to be the best thing that I have purchased and used for the clean up of dog hairs. Definitely recommend purchasing this if you have animals.

Great for convenience!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since we have animals this was a must. Quick and easy to pick off the wall, quick clean up and return. While this has many purposes for cleaning it's definitely a quick job unit. The battery lasts as expected... short. But that's what it's for not for cleaning the whole house. Great buy!

Omg!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Omg!!! I’ve always wanted to buy a stain vacuum so I finally purchased one and OMG I love it. It works so freaking good, I use it everyday but I just love it. If you’re skeptical, don’t be. Best thing I’ve purchased !!!!! I’m not someone who buys expensive things but this is so worth it

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly a really good vacuum, especially for cat pet hair and long hair individuals who live in a house. My only gripe is you have to hold the button to use it, but it makes sense that you have to so you don't run out battery life.

Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my V8 Animal Cord-Free Vacuum because it is so easy to use. I clean sofas, stairs, tables, and all kind of floors; it also picks up all the hair from my pets. I can use for 30 minutes constantly before I have to charge it again. And I just empty the container and it looks clean again.

A good vacuum for animal owner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating whether I want to buy the Dyson V10 or V8, and eventually I bought V8 due to the price and I think I made the right decision. Consider I have a smaller place, the battery life is not a big issue for me. However, I think for people who have a larger place, V10 might be a better choice due to the battery life.

Decent cordless vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent vacuum for quickly cleaning rugs and carpets. I do not own many rugs and only have one room with carpet in it so having a cordless vacuum that doesn't take a lot of space is quite nice. I wish the canister was a tad larger, but overall quite happy.
I would recommend this to a friend Happy clean
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Dyson V-6 and can not survive without it. I loved my new V-8 and really recommend it. So much more silence and more time working. Also different accessories. Just one thing that Dyson could improve: allow the accessories work in all cord less generations.
