Posted .Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. Your machine does offer two powerful modes of suction; MAX and regular. MAX is intended for those hard to tackle messes, where a boost of suction might be needed. This mode provides about 7 minutes of run time. In regular mode, run time is up to 40 minutes (30 when using a motorized attachment). 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,
Kelly

Disappointment in a box.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought my Dyson and loved it for a year and a half, then it wouldn’t charge and started acting funny. For that much money you’d think they would last longer. Meanwhile the shark I bought at the same time is still working and performs better than the Dyson. Sorry Dyson, I’m not buying your products anymore.

Toys
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are expensive toys that fall apart when warranty expires. I’ve owned 2 Dyson vacuums. The V8 was great for 13 months and its out of warranty so time to throw away! I’ve had vacuums last 20 years but these are cheap plastic with a lot of advertising BS. I learned my lesson.

Posted .Hi Gary, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've had such a disappointing experience with your V8 Animal cord-free. I’m happy to inform you that Dyson cord-free machines are made from polycarbonate ABS - the same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. They are tough, so we subject them to hours of testing, including drop and impact tests. Dyson machines are built to withstand years of residential household use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3iXRFizaz8
As a reminder, while we don't ever expect issues to occur, Dyson does back your new machine from an authorized retailer with a free 2-year guarantee. We would value the opportunity to assist you, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Even when the warranty has matured, we are on hand to provide support, 24/7. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.

Battery fail
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so hopeful this would help me with quick cleaning while struggling with back issues. This machine while light would never hold a charge. Did not get to use is more than a couple of times. Sadly a waste of money!
