Thought it would be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had an animal Dyson, thought I would try this rechargeable one...it is ok, but would not recommend because its charge is limited when using it in max power mode. Did not compare to the power of my animal Dyson that is wired.

Posted .Hello Riks, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the run time of your V8 Animal, in max power mode. 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. 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.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this while it was $100 off. Totally worth it, it works great on our carpet, tile and hardwood floors. Also used it on our car (we have a 2.5 year toddler), get taken care of everything with ease. A huge upgrade from our previous vacuum!

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love this and all our Dysons. We have a few cordless hand vacs now. Upstairs. Downstairs. The price and quality - this thing just works well - makes it an easy decision to add to the mix so we can quickly clean up pet hair or messes.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this V8 vacuum as a replacement to my V7; it does not disappoint! Great battery life and picks up every single strand of my dog's hair on the sofa, in the car, and on the floor. It's a bit pricey, but worth it.
I would recommend this to a friendSHOCKINGLY clean!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Dyson does an excellent job at cleaning carpet. When we got it home, we intentionally did a pre-vacuum of the living room rug with our old vacuum before using this new Dyson. We were astounded by how much MORE dust, dirt, and hair this appliance pulled out of the carpet. The only downside is that it has the tendency to give the user a jolly good SHOCK, from time-to-time. All vacuums build up static over time, which I assume they discharge through the electrical cord and back to the electrical panel. But this device is cordless, so the only way for it to discharge static is through YOU. It just happens that the charging port is directly on the grip of the device, so your hand is constantly gripping this port, and every time the device builds up enough static, it discharges it directly into the palm of your hand. Not a nice feature, hence the lower-than-excellent rating. But the vacuum does a great job otherwise.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my fourth Dyson. I keep one upstairs and one downstairs. I thought it would be great for my tiled floors but it works awesome on the carpet too. I will never stop buying from Dyson.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a wonderful machine. We have a very good corded upright. This Dyson is the perfect companion. Maybe the other way around. With a shedding dog, carpet and area rugs the V8 is so handy and efficient. Occasionally I do buy the right present.

Love our first Dyson, this is our second
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the black Friday sale for -$150 we added this one for the purpose of keeping our vynyl plank floor pet hair free, and it works great, also great on carpet and detach to use smaller versions for stair and cars. Love Dysons, this is our second!
I would recommend this to a friendIt’s a dyson
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You should always expect a great product from dyson, especially with the price tag that comes with the products. I have to Great Dane adult dogs, with wood floors in the main areas of my house. This picks up every piece of dog hair and dust without problems.

Could use work to detail use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The trigger can be difficult to mess with, maybe future lineups will consider the lock switch to keep the vacuum onn like the competitors but other than that the vacuum preform great!

Posted .Hello J, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've had some trouble with the trigger on your V8 Animal. We know that battery run time is a very important aspect of performance for our owners, so we developed a trigger that helps maximize the amount of time you can clean on one charge. We chose a light-touch trigger over an on/off switch to ensure that battery life is never wasted by letting the machine run when it's not in active use.
We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience along with ensuring that your vacuum is performing as intended. Please do not hesitate to contact us at askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are keen on providing you with support.

Great Cleaning Machine!!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great vacuum. I used to change vacuum every year due to damages but since I got this one, it's been over 2.5 years without any issues. Love this!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat vacuum sure to last for years
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve owned Dyson‘s for years and I’ve been very happy with them. Especially their customer service when the battery needs to be replaced. The only reason why I bought this one is because I ran over the other one.
