Customer Ratings & Reviews

This vacuum is my first cordless experience. I wish I had purchased it years ago.

Upgraded from a Dyson that was over 19 years old. This does great things, just wish the battery life was a little better

Awesome vacuum, easy and light weight to be able to carry up and down the steps

Perfect tool when you have and have to use it daily

Game changer! Best purchase I have made in a while.

Works on multiple surfaces and not heavy at all while also being powerful.

This is by far the best vacuum I’ve ever encountered. You will love it!

This vacuum is great! Vacuum cleaning with no wire makes cleaning a so easy!

My Daughter-in-law loves it. She can complete her whole home.

My daughter loves this for her townhome at college.

Awesome, got it for a friend and she loves it! Go big!

Absolutely love this vacuum. So much easier to use, just charge it and go.

So easy and convienient to use. The kids actually enjoy “sweeping” the kitchen floor now.

I continue to constantly have issues with the vacuum loosing suction because it’s clogged. I’ve cleaned the entire vacuum and even used compressed air to blow out the dust from inside the unit. I have three filters because after a while they don’t seem to fit right. However, dysons’s customer service is outstanding and tried to help me resolve the issue they even sent me an extra filter for free. I haven’t had any issues lately because I clean it once a week.

The Dyson V8 Animal is a vey impressive cordless vacuum and another solid entry in the Dyson line. Most of my house is hard flooring so I wasn't able to gauge the quality of the supplied direct drive cleaner head on carpet. What I can say is that it cleaned my flooring in spectacular fashion. We have multiple dogs and cats and the rolling hairballs disappeared with minimal effort. It also sucked up multiple LEGO pieces with little fanfare. The nice thing about the canister system on the vacuum is that it is very easy to pick through the dirt to rescue small pieces that you didn't intend to suck up. My kids are thankful. The pivoting head also makes corners and tight spots easier to reach quickly. I did use the vacuum on several rugs throughout the house and they seem to do a great job of at least giving the appearance that they are cleaner. I didn't get down on my hands and knees and do a thorough inspection of the rug fibers, but it was certainly good enough for me. A word of caution about the suction on this model. It's intense. One of my lighter rugs got jammed in the head due to the suction, not the head itself. Battery life easily hit 40 minutes for me as I was doing mostly hard floors. Possibly with more carpeting the battery life may be shorter as it puts more strain on the cleaning head. The additional tools supplied are great for cleaning in deep crevices of a sofa for instance. As a whole I think the V8 Animal is wonderful, but the price does give me pause. I know Dyson is generally spendy and I do believe you get what you pay for in this case. If you want a solid cordless vacuum that will last then the Dyson is pretty much the standard.

We have two Dyson vacuums in the house and I love them as they work great. Happy with the purchase.

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Everything about it is AWESOME!

So worth the money. Light weight and great for getting under beds, dressers, etc.

This is a great vacuum for pet hair and for an easy clean up.

This purchase is so worth it. So happy with my new vacuum
