Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Dyson V8 Animal is perfect for those who don't want to lug around a heavy traditional vacuum or have limited space. I have an apartment so this is perfect for me as space is limited, but I still have carpet and tile/hard wood floors that need to be cleaned regularly. Don't let the small size fool you, this has the suction of a full-size powerful vacuum. Although it weighs under 6 lbs (that's lighter than my laptop!), it's able to do the job of much larger and much much heavier vacuums. This model is cordless which only adds to its impressiveness given it's power! Another impressive factor is that I haven't noticed any loss in suction/power even as you approach the end of the charge. A full charge will last up to 40 minutes when using the non-motorized attachments. When using the motorized attachments, a full charge will get you around 20-25 minutes. Don't know about you, but that's more than enough time to clean many rooms. I found the build, although lightweight, to be of a high quality. That's important if you're like me and can get a little rough with things while cleaning. This product is extremely versatile. Use it on hardwood floors, tiles, carpet, reach up high and clean the cobwebs from the ceiling. Car a little dirty? The cordless design and compact size make it great for doing heavy duty cleaning or a quick touch up to clear out the gravel/dirt that you've tracked into your car. In summary, this is a great vacuum. It's small size does mean that the dirt collection bin isn't very big so it will require more frequent emptying than a larger model. However, Dyson has made easier and cleaner to do. Simply press a button a release over a trashcan and all of the dirt falls away without making a mess. It comes with many useful attachments for carpets, hard surfaces, upholstery, crevice, and dusting. Perfect for almost any situation and especially for those of us who like to do a little light cleaning once or twice a week and even for those who like to put it off until there's a mess. It's charging cradle/stand is also handy since you can mount it on a wall in the closet or utility room along with it's accessories so it's out of the way and off the floor. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a compact yet extremely powerful vacuum. Pros: -Size -Weight -Power, power, power -Versatility/function -Charge time -Cordless -No loss of suction Cons: -Price - It's certainly not cheap, but you get what you pay for. This is far from a dustbuster on a stick. -Lack of automatic level adjuster on the carpet accessory can make it harder to push on heavy pile carpet, but certainly nothing too demanding. A benefit of this is that it is getting very deep into the carpet and pulling out those stubborn pet hairs!

Purchased this for my Mom We have the V4 Animal which works great. This V8 is super compared to ours

The greatest invention ever. Picks up so good. Powerful and so convenient !

This cordless is everything I expected it to be! I actually want to vacuum now. Great customer service too!

Quick and easy for cleanups that don’t require a big vacuum with a long hose. I like it.

Very long battery life allowing vacuuming on one go. Strong suctioning and easy emptying of trash.

It is the best vacuum cleaner I have ever had. It is really amazing.

Love it. Easy to use and to storage. Excellent for daily use.

I use it for everyday use. Cleans,up cat hair great. I have a Kirby for heavy duty but this is just as good.

This vacuum works very well and being cordless makes it easy to use.

I love Dyson and this one is no different. I couldn't do without one!

Easy use and powerful suction. Works as intended. Excellent product.

My wife loves the Dyson stick. I would buy it again.

Works well. Easy charge. Picks up more dirt after a different bran sweeper

Dyson vacuums can be expensive but you get that back in the value this offers.

We use it daily because of a dog cat and five year old. Even the small boy can use it
