Lightweight, great suction.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great vacuum cleaner. We have previously had cheap uprights and used a family members shark. While the shark was nice, the light weight of the dyson is definitely appreciated. I can vacuum the whole house (apx 1600sq ft) on a charge without any issues.

Good Cordless vacuum but needs improvements
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am using a lot for inside kitchen and living room as well as inside my car. Problem 1: Handle is not ergonomic after holding for a while your thumb joint hurting. Hard ABS plastic touching surface to the thumb needs to be smooth and similar shape with our thumb finger direction. Need mechanical improvement. Problem 2: Battery dyes pretty quick when vacuuming sometimes not enough. Problem 3: When you do small vacuuming battery stays half you don't completely use the battery. If I put it into charger back most probably Battery Degradation will be pretty quick and battery lifetime will decrease. There should be power switch to control the power adapter when it is always plug it in to the wall plug. Problem 4: You can't put all the accessories to wall charger there are only two slots but vacuum comes with 4 accessories that you need to use during vacuuming. Sometimes I cannot find other necessary parts during vacuuming. In order to solve this you need to buy Vacuum Cleaner Storage Rack . Over all it is OK. I suggest. I can easily do these improvements by myself.

Posted .Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Dyson V8 Animal cordless vacuum cleaner. I'm happy to hear that you are getting a lot of use out of this model, so far. I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered a short run time with your Dyson V8 Absolute. 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. The total run time will be up to 40 minutes. You can place your unit back on the dock, even if the battery is not completed depleted. Your battery will stop charging, once it's received a full recharge.
We'd value the opportunity to learn more about your experience with your Dyson V8 Animal, to provide you with support. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com. It will be our pleasure to provide support once we have received your correspondence.

Addicted to using it!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really LOVE my Dyson V-8 Animal! It's amazing how much power it has for a cordless! And it's much more quiet than my V-6 and has a wider floor roller. The battery lasts a lot longer too. It looks great in its charging station conveniently attached to the wall. I'm really addicted to using it!!

Tuff stuff
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality build with decent run time. The suction is good for the size and will do for smaller homes. More of a complimentary item for a large home when you need to vac hard to reach spots above or outstretched. Great tools and everything fits well.

Solid performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Light, easy to maneuver, easy to empty canister and change attachments. Disappointment is battery only lasts about 20 minutes when it’s run on the higher charge. Still happy we got it, though, as it was for my 86 year old mom and she can handle it on her own!

Posted .Hi Deen, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're happy to hear that you've found the V8 Animal to be so light weight and easy to maneuver around your home. Your vacuum comes with two suction modes, MAX and regular. MAX mode will provide you with a burst of powerful suction, for picking up more stubborn messes or debris. This mode will give you about 7 minutes of run time. For everyday vacuuming, we do recommend using the regular suction mode, which gives up to 30-40 minutes of fade-free suction, depending on if you're using the motorized tools. We are so happy to hear that your mom can handle this machine on her own.
We would value the opportunity to ensure that your vacuum is performing as designed. Please feel free to email askdysonUS@dyson.com we are happy to provide you with support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Very Nice Stick Vac with Hand Held
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very nice stick vac hand held combo. It picks up everything we've asked of it. The only thing that is a bit difficult is that we need to lean it against the wall just so as the hand held part is kind of heavy and the vacuum can fall down.

Love this Dyson
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to spend this much on a vacuum but it is totally worth it. I have several cats and it works great at picking up the cat hair. To empty the container all you have to do is hold the handheld and lift small handle and the bottom opens - no more stuff flying around. Handheld is great for the furniture.

Great purchase...finally!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First there were no bags to run out of. Then they lost the hated cord. And they got a decent (Lithium) battery. And now, somewhat lighter, a 'comfortable' trigger, EXTRA quiet. So I finally bought one, and am enjoying EVERY ONE of those features. Vacuuming is no longer "Appointment Drudgery".

Great cordless vacuuming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum is great for any vacuuming job! It works great for vacuuming carpeted and non-carpeted rooms! In addition it can be used as a handheld vacuum for stairs or small jobs. It has an attachment with a powered brush head for the handheld vacuum too which works very well!

What a treat!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a lot of bare floor and area rugs and my back was getting very tired. This vacuum is great for touch up and doing bare floors and area rugs. It's really. keeping the dust and cat fur down. Also great for touching up furniture and doing edges and corners.

A must!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My aunt has had a dyson since their inception and it’s still running. We purchased a different handheld last year and it didn’t quite last one year. So far I absolutely love everything about this from ease of use to the accessories.

Sucky, very sucky...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this purchase. It is my 2nd Dyson product, my main vacuum can be a bit heavy and an ordeal to get out for a quick mess from my 21 month old. This is great, I pull it out and a few swipes and I’m back to chasing my kiddo. With a 45 minute battery life it lasts almost as long as my AirPods.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought the other Dyson full size pet vacuum. Love it except it's heavy for quick cleanups after the kids and dog. Wanted something that was smaller and easier to for quick messes and this is perfect. It does everything we need for a quick cleanup without having to bust out the huge one!
