Customer Ratings & Reviews

I LOVE - LOVE - the Dyson V8 !!! I have the Dyson V11 as well, but when I vacuum a higher pile carpet, It stops working after a few swipes and I get the message to clean the filter. The Dyson V8 doesn't stop Vacuuming the same carpet it keeps going, this is a Work Horse of a Vacuum. This is my 2nd V8, first one lasted 7 years, I will always buy the V8 until they stop making them. I highly recommend it!!!

I was skeptical about this vacuum but gave it a try anyway. I’ve been a Shark fan for years and still own a Shark Rotator. I went back and forth on deciding between this older model v8 and the newer (and more expensive) models v10 and v11 . I am in LOVE with this vacuum! I liked it from day one, but the more I use it the more I am impressed all over again lol. I’ve had it 3 months now and vacuum at least once per day, usually twice. It’s so fast and easy to do with this little 5.5 pound vacuum! I am so glad I didn’t spend more for the newer model. I’m sure the newer ones are great, but this little v8 suits my needs perfectly and at an affordable price. I thought I would hate having to hold the trigger. I don’t. It is so responsive and powers on so easy that I don’t even notice it. It’s built into the handle right where your finger rests anyway. I also thought the battery would not be enough power to complete the job since I am a bit obsessive with my cleaning. I was wrong. I almost never run out of battery. Only when I get carried away or want to vacuum one of our vehicles right after vacuuming the whole house. My house is only 1300 sq ft on the main level with a full basement. I can do the whole house plus the carpeted basement stairs and my furniture (I have a dog) before running out of battery. And it charges pretty fast. Within about 3 hrs there is a full charge. I love how easy it is to use and the light weight of the vacuum. It is seriously awesome! After a few weeks of purchasing this animal version, I did purchase the fuzzy roller separately on Amazon for another $100. I find the fuzzy roller and the brush roller (that comes with vacuum) perform equally well on hard floors in my opinion. On carpet, the brush roller is best. The fuzzy roller works fine on carpet for pet hair but doesn’t totally pull dirt and sand out as well as the brush roller does. I prefer the fuzzy roller for my solid floors as it is much quieter. But where the fuzzy roller really shines is on my furniture for removing pet hair! I don’t even use the mini powered upholstery brush as I find the fuzzy works better, and without shutting down the power if the suction becomes too strong. I use the fuzzy and brush roller heads almost exclusively. I find the other tools not really necessary and, to me, they just create clutter. The exception to that is the crevice tool. I use that occasionally with my deep cleaning. The edge cleaning with this vacuum is phenomenal, and the crevice tool is only used maybe once every other week or so to reach under the sofa or fridge to clean dust or a stray pieces of cereal. I have not used my corded vacuum since purchasing this little vacuum. We are a family of four, with one very sheddy ( is that even a word lol) dog. One of my two teens is in a wheelchair which brings in extra dirt. This little light weight vacuum is all we need, and I love not having to deal with a cord!

Works as intended. Great for cleaning an apartment without worrying with cables tangling.

My wife like using it on both carpets and wooding floors

Very versatile and convenience make cleaning easy. Works well with great suction.

Best cleaning light weight vacuum cleaner. All ages removes all hair lint and trash. So easy to clean

This is the fourth Dyson product I have purchased. The vacuum is so easy to use and cleans up better than all previous non Dyson vacs. I have a dog. This is so easy to grab for a quick clean or more thorough project. This product is soooo worth the price. P.S. Dyson hot/cool fans are also incredible. I have two.

I love how its portable and can vaccum anything and anywhere if you do have a bigger home the biggest dislike id the battery life

It has good suction power and is light and quiet. Anyone can use it easily and well.

Very convenient, easy to use, powerful. Great quality that is worth the price.

Picks up every. Easy to use, under the bed at couches overall great. and easy to clean too

I like the Dyson because it is easy to use and works really well. The two issues I have: the battery life is not great. I constantly have to charge the battery after just using it for 20 mins or so. The second issue I have is more of a design issue: I hate having the on button in the exact spot that you would put your hand to carry the vacuum. I think there should be a cover over the button that can easily be place to easily carry the vacuum without turning it on.

It’s lightweight with a a lot of suction. I would never go back to a canister vacuum. I would definitely buy it again.

I love my Dyson V8. I have had it for a few years, first in my apartment and then in my house! I will always have a Dyson in the house! It is great for hardwood and carpet. It is the best of both worlds!

Easy to use , battery doesn't last long if put on Max power , the minimum power last an hour . Minimum power is enough to vacum flat hard surface .

Initially hesitated to spend so much on my first Dyson broom. I thought it was crazy however it is something that is used multiple times a day. Turn out This is a investment! Great design. Made well. Easy to use light weight while still very sturdy. I’m total tec member so extended warranty provided although the way this is constructed I think it will last a long time even with multiple daily use. Came with nice attachments Very happy with this purchase

Best vacuum ever! Light weight and versatile. Sucks everything! The battery life is ok. It drains fast in Max suction

My sister and husband like the ease of use of the stick vac but with certain dog hair types it will not pick up.

This vacuum is simply marvelous. It really can suck I mean suck up the dirt!!!!☺️ The way Cleans You may only need to shampoo the rug from time to time. Take her pet here leaves the house, smelling fresher, and feels cleaner. It worth it. It’s been a little extra because you get a lot back.

This vacuum is light, works amazingly well and has a number of attachments that make it very versatile. Because your not hampered by the cord while using it, vacuuming is less restricted and goes much faster. Whether it's a small spill or doing an entire room, it works great. Had it for more than 2 years of daily use and it still goes and goes.
