Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the impressive suction power, fantastic ease of use, and lightweight, cordless design, which contribute to its great overall performance. However, a significant number of customers feel that the battery life could be improved. Additionally, some users mention that the price is steep and the product can be noisy, especially on hardwood floors.

    Bought as a gift for wife. She loves it and so do I. It’s very convenient to just grab it and vacuum up the messes our kids make instead of having to unwind cord of our larger vacuum, and then wind it back up after.

    This is a far improvement from our old dyson stick we bought mssny years ago. It seems to brush the carpet much better than my old one. There doesn't seem to be enough space to hold all the attachments in the dock though.

    I previously have owned two other dysons, but neither were animal versions. This vacuum appears to do a great job. The way to dump the canister is different from both of my previous dysons, but I think I have the hang of it now.

    Is advertised as the “animal” version, actually works well with pet fur, haven’t had an issue with it whatsoever. Really easy to use and comes with several attachments for different uses.

    Pick up dust, dirt and pet hair remarkably well. Does NOT pick up anything the size of a dime or bigger. The dogs track in chucks of dirt/mud from the backyard and it doesn’t pick them up, only finer particle. That’s why I’m giving it a 4/5 instead of 5/5.

    It has enough battery to clean my small apartment, cleans much better than my old vacuum and so nice not to have to deal with a cord. I just wish I had gotten it sooner.

    Getting rid of the remains in the trash collector is not easy. You press the trash button and it is suppose to open at bottom and push it back in place. Doesn't always close. Taken it back once and got a replacement.

    Nice product but fir the money you pay for a Dyson the battery doesn’t stay charged like they say?! I always have to charge it. I only vacuum for 10-15 minutes if that?!

      Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've encountered short run times with your V8 Animal. Your machine offers two suction modes - regular and MAX. Right out of the box, the machine is going to be set to MAX. This mode provides a boost of suction making it ideal for larger messes or more stubborn debris. This mode does give less run time - about 7 minutes or so. Regular power, which should be sufficient for everyday cleaning, will give you up to 30-40 minutes of run time, depending on if you're using the motorized floor tool.

      We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.
       
      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I didn't know what to expect from my first Dyson, but this vac does the job! We have a dog who frequently sheds and this vacuum leaves my laminate flooring spotless! Would recommend to anyone with wood floors and pets!

    Easy to use, picks everything up even on the light setting. It has to be the easiest to keep clean and empty the canister.

    We have several dogs, and use this all the time. So convenient. When it broke - it was entirely my fault - I immediately went out and bought another one.

    This thing is little but it sure is a beast! My dog sheds constantly and this picks it right up! The only downfall is the amount of dirt and grime it can carry. It could be a little bigger.

    Bought a, low cost, off brand first and sent it back. The cheap one barely had the power to pick up a bread crumb. This one works very well, has good battery, accessories, and is worth the cost.

    This was money well spent . Very convenient to grab and use for simple cleaning and for a few rooms . Depending on the house the battery lasted a good while for me on a normal size house .
