Customer Ratings & Reviews

We just added this to our vacuum collection, we have had the Dyson Dc07 for years now and after replacing a few things decided to venture into a newer model. This thing sucks! And I mean that I. The best possible way. Vacummed with the old one first and then this one. Still filled half the container.

This vacuum only runs for about 10 minutes before it dies. Completely useless. I have to keep it charging.

This vacuum is perfect for my small home and is good on multiple surfaces. The variety of attachments included are useful, the charge lasts and doesn't take long to recharge. Picked this up on sale so along with the warranty from Dyson, the value is excellent.

Very disappointed in this vacuum, especially for a Dyson. I have mostly hardwood floors and a few large area rugs that are basic in terms of material and cleaning/maintaining. Vacuuming the hardwood floors, the suction is so bad it takes three times going over to get the simplest amount of crumbs. Using the wand part of the vacuum is the worst of all. The air coming out of the motor is so strong it blows everything before the lack of suction from arm has any chance to suck it up. I wanted to see if it was really getting anything up from the rugs so I used my old 25 year old eureka vacuum over the same rug I just used twice with the Dyson v8 and saw the eureka not only sucked up everything the Dyson missed but had MORE crap in the dust tank. Dyson was better before opening plants in Singapore and china in 2002. Don’t waste your money

It works very well on wood floor, couch and stairs. It's very light and quiet. The dust bin is easy to clean. Vacuuming gets easier. However, because it's too light, it needs extra efforts to push and pull on the rug. The battery doesn't last long. One charge couldn't get my full house done. Mine is 3 bedrooms.

So light weight and easy to use bring cordless. I actually vacuum way more often with it.

We have owned another model for awhile. We have used it at our hair salon for years. My wife wanted one for our house for Christmas. Dyson products have never disappointed. This V8 works just as wonderful as expected.

Great vacuum overall, but it does have a very short run time (especially if you use it on the higher setting, which I often need to use on my carpeted area). It works best on my wood and tile floors though! It does charge fairly quickly,

Great vacuum cleaner. We have previously had cheap uprights and used a family members shark. While the shark was nice, the light weight of the dyson is definitely appreciated. I can vacuum the whole house (apx 1600sq ft) on a charge without any issues.

I am using a lot for inside kitchen and living room as well as inside my car. Problem 1: Handle is not ergonomic after holding for a while your thumb joint hurting. Hard ABS plastic touching surface to the thumb needs to be smooth and similar shape with our thumb finger direction. Need mechanical improvement. Problem 2: Battery dyes pretty quick when vacuuming sometimes not enough. Problem 3: When you do small vacuuming battery stays half you don't completely use the battery. If I put it into charger back most probably Battery Degradation will be pretty quick and battery lifetime will decrease. There should be power switch to control the power adapter when it is always plug it in to the wall plug. Problem 4: You can't put all the accessories to wall charger there are only two slots but vacuum comes with 4 accessories that you need to use during vacuuming. Sometimes I cannot find other necessary parts during vacuuming. In order to solve this you need to buy Vacuum Cleaner Storage Rack . Over all it is OK. I suggest. I can easily do these improvements by myself.

I really LOVE my Dyson V-8 Animal! It's amazing how much power it has for a cordless! And it's much more quiet than my V-6 and has a wider floor roller. The battery lasts a lot longer too. It looks great in its charging station conveniently attached to the wall. I'm really addicted to using it!!

Quality build with decent run time. The suction is good for the size and will do for smaller homes. More of a complimentary item for a large home when you need to vac hard to reach spots above or outstretched. Great tools and everything fits well.

I love this dyson! Works great for a quick and easy clean up on my floors when I don’t want to take out my big vacuum. It’s light weight and easy to use. Best thing I have purchased! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone! Love it!

battery life is too short, for extended cleaning. but easy to use

Light, easy to maneuver, easy to empty canister and change attachments. Disappointment is battery only lasts about 20 minutes when it’s run on the higher charge. Still happy we got it, though, as it was for my 86 year old mom and she can handle it on her own!

I am so happy with my Dyson. It works great on stairs no more worrying about tripping over the cord. Does a great job on hardwood floor and carpeting. It is very easy to clean filters as well. Dyson did not disappoint!

This is a very nice stick vac hand held combo. It picks up everything we've asked of it. The only thing that is a bit difficult is that we need to lean it against the wall just so as the hand held part is kind of heavy and the vacuum can fall down.

I was hesitant to spend this much on a vacuum but it is totally worth it. I have several cats and it works great at picking up the cat hair. To empty the container all you have to do is hold the handheld and lift small handle and the bottom opens - no more stuff flying around. Handheld is great for the furniture.

First there were no bags to run out of. Then they lost the hated cord. And they got a decent (Lithium) battery. And now, somewhat lighter, a 'comfortable' trigger, EXTRA quiet. So I finally bought one, and am enjoying EVERY ONE of those features. Vacuuming is no longer "Appointment Drudgery".

This vacuum is great for any vacuuming job! It works great for vacuuming carpeted and non-carpeted rooms! In addition it can be used as a handheld vacuum for stairs or small jobs. It has an attachment with a powered brush head for the handheld vacuum too which works very well!
