suction is the best . only battery life is very short

It works great but battery does eventually start to give out so run time isn’t as long.

The Dyson V8 Animal Cordless vacuum cleaner is a versatile, powerful, yet easy-to-use vacuum that has opened my eyes to all the dust and dirt in our homes that is invisible to the naked eye. Using the Dyson, emptying the bin after a few quick passes over "clean" furniture, floors, or carpets demonstrates that looks can be deceiving when determining if something is truly clean.

I like that its not that heavy, very good cleaning. The battery its not that great in the high mode but its ok in the regular mode.

this vacuum is awesome it picks up trash really good but it does die really fast on the higher power so i use it on the lower power for longer battery life

Amazing! We have a black lab and white floors , so this vacuum was needed! It is amazing, last long for being wireless. I love that nothing gets caught in it and it vacuums great.

Works very well, glad I waited for the online sale to get it 50% off

Great vacuum at a good price. Dyson is always top notch

We wanted a light weight vacuum for stairs and spot cleaning. We got it in this Dyson 8. Could not be happier. Excellent product for stairs. No more fighting the large vacuum on the stairs and getting out the large vacuum for small jobs.

I’m impressed. We have the larger Dyson vac with the removable battery. I had reservations about this model due to the non removable battery. So far, so good. It’s smaller size makes it quite nimble and the suction power is good. I rarely need to use the power setting. Battery life is adequate. I wouldn’t make this my main vacuum, but it works great for light to medium duty cleanings. Hasn’t clogged at all and it’s relatively easy to empty since you’ve done it a few times. Give it a try if you are on the fence, but only if it’s on sale.

I never thought I’d enjoy vacuuming! My 1st really good vacuum. I’m so happy with it. I love that there is no cord to trip over. Light and easy to maneuver. I love this vacuum!

Good vacuum cleaner. Not the best on carpet and battery life isn’t the greatest.

The dyson v8 is amazingly light yet has incredibly sucking power. And this one comes with several useful attachments that can be used to clean small areas.

The vacuum cleaner sucks up dust well, there are no questions about it. But the operating time is only 15 minutes. The manufacturer claims that the new vacuum cleaner will work for about 40 minutes at maximum mode. Unfortunately, there is not always enough time to clean the bedroom and living room. I'm afraid to imagine what will happen next. And the vacuum cleaner is quite noisy. The advertisement shows how a cat sleeps when a vacuum cleaner is working next to it. This is of course false marketing.

Dyson vacs are so expensive, one has to be sure they are going to get real value for the money. This (on sale) is a great machine. It is a little quieter than most vacs we've had. The suction is fantastic. Great not having to deal with a cord. The attachment for steps and furniture is great and very easy to put it on and off. I thought I had read hair does not wrap around the roller brush, but it does. It is top heavy, so you really do need to attach the docking station to the wall. We don't have a good location that is also near an electric outlet. So that is a pain. Overall, though, very satisfied with this vac.

This dyson vacuum is very good and wash to use and it’s very powerful and works very good but I think the battery works only for 10 15 minutes so I’m not sure if it’s a bad thing but I like it a lot. Easy to use and not even heavy weight

This is the third Dyson V8 vacuum I have had in two years. Thankfully I have gotten a geek squad protection. Each Dyson V8 that quit working, Best Buy replaced with a new one as I said with my geek squad protection. The hassle is having to buy a new protection plan every time the Dyson V8 quits working. I originally got it on sale so I only have to pay about $75 each time for the three-year protection plan. When it works, it’s an unbelievable vacuum. By far the best vacuum we have ever had. Lightweight, easy to maneuver, good battery life for it’s size and weight. Extremely high suction. If Dyson can figure out the issues with longevity of the vacuum working properly, would be a definite five star.

Dyson makes the best vacuum cleaners and this cordless one is not exception! It's powerful and lightweight all in the same package!

Great design of V8. However, it's bit more moisy than V7.

This is a good product and it’s doing what I thought it would do. The only down side is that it’s relatively easy for the floor roller to get stuff stuck in it.
