||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Where has this been all my life!!!! I can’t believe how much gets left behind after sweeping multiple times a day. This Dyson picks up way more dust/stuff than what I would pick up sweeping. Every household should have one!

Like it a lot except Battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like it a lot except battery. But this vacuum works well.
I would recommend this to a friend Wonderful installation service!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These gentlemen arrived about 9:30 am, and never stopped until our new audio system and TV were totally installed. They were patient, methodical, and stopped to answer all our questions as we got familiar with the new set-up. Thank you, Best Buy, Dave and Tim!
I would recommend this to a friendIt works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Dyson vacuum had made vacuuming a lot easier. I can do my entire first floor on less than half of a charge. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is, I wish the vacuum cleaner was made of a different material. When I vacuumed my home for the first time, I tried to go under the couch and it left a couple of scratches. But overall I like the Dyson

Don’t buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery doesn’t last long and all unless it’s low suction and face it what’s the point of that. It’s great as a quick clean up and the suction rocks. Be aware the filters have to be washed often in dustier areas.

Posted .Hello Jen, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to share your review of the Dyson V8 Animal. We are happy to hear how pleased you have been with the ease-of-use, and how great you have found the suction to be. We can confirm, if you do vacuum more often, or do reside in a dustier area, we would recommend to wash those more often; any time there is a build-up of dust or debris within the filters, this can cause a blockage of airflow, which will result in suction and overall performance issues. With regard to the battery life, that will be dependent upon which suction level you're using, and if you're using a motorized tool/attachment. 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. Having a shorter run time does sound unusual, and we'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you.
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.
Best wishes,
Kelly

I would recommend this to a friendYou'll only need this vacuum.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best vacuums I've ever owned. The hepa filter on it makes vacuuming so much easier, with less sneezing. It also deep cleans far better then any other vacuum I've ever owned. If you've been thinking of getting it, get it. Worth every penny.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this vacuum but I have to put the charger in a specific position to get it to charge. It’s been like that since it was brand new. I’m afraid one day it’ll stop charging.

Posted .Hello, this is Adam with Dyson. We're so sorry to hear that you are experiencing low run times with your V8. 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,
Adam

Great vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stain are just unbelievable good vacuum cleaner. The vacuum time with one charge is for me enough to vacuum part of my apartment. I’ll never vacuum everything at ones. Split the work in several days is the key.

A Great Little Vacuum on a Stick
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as a Christmas gift for my fiancée and she's very happy with it. It replaced one her ex won in their divorce. We have a robot vacuum cleaner we run regularly, but I was amazed to see how much extra this Dyson picked up afterward.
