Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best vacuum I’ve ever used. Only downside is small canister.

Just about the perfect Dyson vac. There are other more expensive higher tech models, but honestly, this is really all you need. A great combination of performance and versatility, with the most useful attachments. Be sure to get it on sale at $329.99, not worth $469.99.

Great performance, easy to use. The only issue is the amount of time that the battery last.

My favorite vacuum. I can’t get over the power of this vaccum and how light weight it is!

The Dyson V8 is a great vacuum! We love how powerful the suction is, how easy it is to maneuver around tight spaces and obstacles, and how versatile it is with the many included attachments. It has the right tool for any job! The only downsides are that you have to hold down a trigger button continuously in order to run the unit, which can be a literal pain after a while, and battery life is not super long when its in high suction mode.

Best vacuum for the money. We have tried other less expensive options and nothing compares to a Dyson

Going from a corded vacuum to this vacuum was like a breath of fresh air. The suction on this vacuum is fantastic, I have two cats and you wouldnt know it, and the battery is perfect for my small apartment. If you have a big house, I would recommend a larger Dyson. Mine came with 4 attachments. I am very pleased with this purchase.

After purchasing and trying a couple different battery powered vacuums, this Dyson Vacuum is the perfect weight and cleans way better than all those "cheaper" brands I've owned in the past. Hopefully it will last longer than all the others did.

Best little vacuum i have ever purchased. Easy to use, light weight and it has excellent suction.

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!

As a pet owner, something powerful and portable was necessary. Can easily use this vacuum with one hand so that's nice and it empties easily from the bottom.

Light and easy to handle. And powerful enough to clean the carpets.

Absolutely love it because of the super suction and feel it leaves my carpet super clean. I only wish it had a longer charge life.

This vacuum is excellent as long as you do not get too aggressive w the size of items you are trying to suck up. It can clog easily and can require frequent declogging if you try to do too much. Keep to carpet and lite messes.

Love love love! Can’t say enough good things about this vacuum!!!!

Works great on pet hair and everything else. Almost disgusting to see what ends up in that chsmber. Can be refigured to work anywhere—car, etc.

Amazing product. It gets everything. Takes a while to full charge though

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!!!

We love this cordless vacuum from Dyson. So easy to use and charged very fast.

Our best vacuum buy to date. Light with versatility for all vacuum needs.
