Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s a good vacuum, but the battery lasts very little.

Comparing this to my V6, it is quieter and more powerful. The new system of emptying the bin is handy also. I haven't had it long, but the charge is lasting as long as I need, around half an hour to do my vacuuming.

I purchased this for use at a small business for quick crumb cleanups from customers. It works great for that. We don't use it for more than a few minutes at a time so I can't speak to the battery life. We purchased this on sale, although I can't remember the exact price.

This makes dog hair and dirt/sand a thing of the past. Yes, MAX power drains the battery, but that’s to be expected and is only really necessary on carpet. Would highly recommend for quick cleanups, especially with pets!

We adore this vacuum. Not only does it clean better than any vacuum we've ever had, but it beats them all in convenience too. It's a great feeling to see some crumbs, grab the vacuum, and have it cleaned up in less than a minute, no cords or hassle involved.

I’m really impressed with the overall function of the vacuum. If you are looking to vacuum every room in your house in one shot this might not be the product for you. The battery on high only last about 10 minutes but the low setting will last about 40.

This vacuum only runs for about 10 minutes before it dies. Completely useless. I have to keep it charging.

Happy with this purchase. It does what’s needed to be done. Portable, good vacuum and hope that it lasts a long time. First Dyson vacuum that I bought. It was on sale so the price is not that bad since it’s from a reputable company. Will recommend!

great for hard surfaces easy to use, wish battery lasted longer

It is the best stick vacuum I've ever used, great suction and incredible use. the downside is the battery is not user replaceable in a way that is easy. otherwise good product, The carpet attachment does have a tendency to get stuck from time to time.

The suction power, ease of handling and emptying is great. But even with specific attachments, the unit head tends to roll over things like upholstery, bedspeads, pillows. I think this is probably due to its light-weighted-ness. It works well on hard surfaces, such as linoleum, carpets, hardwoods...things with a firm surface.

I bought this my wife and she saw it and said this is small and won’t work. Well now she loves it. It’s light weight, no cords and works very good. She has been trying to get her coworker to get one. Told her it’s light weight and works awesome.

Very disappointed in this vacuum, especially for a Dyson. I have mostly hardwood floors and a few large area rugs that are basic in terms of material and cleaning/maintaining. Vacuuming the hardwood floors, the suction is so bad it takes three times going over to get the simplest amount of crumbs. Using the wand part of the vacuum is the worst of all. The air coming out of the motor is so strong it blows everything before the lack of suction from arm has any chance to suck it up. I wanted to see if it was really getting anything up from the rugs so I used my old 25 year old eureka vacuum over the same rug I just used twice with the Dyson v8 and saw the eureka not only sucked up everything the Dyson missed but had MORE crap in the dust tank. Dyson was better before opening plants in Singapore and china in 2002. Don’t waste your money

Best vacuum at this price point. Was on sale for 300. So at that price is the perfect vac for our tile and laminate floors. Worth the investment for something I expect to use for years.

We just added this to our vacuum collection, we have had the Dyson Dc07 for years now and after replacing a few things decided to venture into a newer model. This thing sucks! And I mean that I. The best possible way. Vacummed with the old one first and then this one. Still filled half the container.

This vacuum is perfect for my small home and is good on multiple surfaces. The variety of attachments included are useful, the charge lasts and doesn't take long to recharge. Picked this up on sale so along with the warranty from Dyson, the value is excellent.

It works very well on wood floor, couch and stairs. It's very light and quiet. The dust bin is easy to clean. Vacuuming gets easier. However, because it's too light, it needs extra efforts to push and pull on the rug. The battery doesn't last long. One charge couldn't get my full house done. Mine is 3 bedrooms.

So light weight and easy to use bring cordless. I actually vacuum way more often with it.

We have owned another model for awhile. We have used it at our hair salon for years. My wife wanted one for our house for Christmas. Dyson products have never disappointed. This V8 works just as wonderful as expected.

Great vacuum overall, but it does have a very short run time (especially if you use it on the higher setting, which I often need to use on my carpeted area). It works best on my wood and tile floors though! It does charge fairly quickly,
