Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love how easy it is to use and menuever. Its light weight and has a powerful suction. However, its battery can’t handle a full day of cleaning, hardly half a day. I’ve heard there is aftermarket batteries that can replace the one that comes with it, but those have potential safety hazards. Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase.

This vacuum has a lot of power, especially for the stick style. Great attachments and I like the wall charging port. Easy empty feature is nice. I have three pets and this is great for cleaning up hair.

Awesome vacuum for a small space. House is only about half carpet, so I love the versatility to move it around. Dies super fast. Like insanely fast. Hate to deduct a star for that but it is inconvenient. Would be perfect with a superior battery! Other than that, sucking power is really good. We have long ish carpet and I feel like it does a good job getting human and dog hair up. Maybe not as great as a super high end vacuum but it serves its purpose being lightweight and movable.

I love everything about my Dyson V8 Motorhead Origin Vacuum. It has two modes of power, Max Mode and Powerful. The Powerful mode works great for vacuuming my whole house. When I need a little extra suction the Max Mode is great! This vacuum picks up everything. I like that it is so lightweight and portable. It comes with three main parts, they all click and unclick together so easily. I love that there is a charging base that they all hook up into. This vacuum does not take long to charge at all. When fully charged I can vacuum my entire house. If I use Max Mode then the charge lasts about 8 minutes. The head of this cleaner swivels which makes vacuuming so much easier. I love that it is bagless. With a simple click of a button, I can empty the canister into the trash bin. It comes with accessories such as an upholstery brush. This vacuum has made vacuuming effortless.

I bought it about 3 weeks ago and I love it. I have hardwood floors , I have a dog so it is so easy to use and clean up efficiently. I wish I had got one sooner. It is the best investment I’ve made, my only issue is that it doesn’t light up. It works well picks up the dog hairs, gentle in our carpet beds and our floors. I’m truly happy with the performance, although I wish it did have the green light that makes a big difference. I did buy an attachment from Amazon that I stick to the sides, but it’s not exactly the same But overall very happy with the Dyson. It’s easy to use. It’s not heavy. It’s easy to keep clean and the battery time works well.

The Dyson V8 is an excellent cordless vacuum that combines strong suction with lightweight design. It’s very easy to maneuver, works great on both carpets and hard floors, and the battery lasts long enough to clean an entire home on a single charge. The attachments are useful for furniture and tight spaces, and the dust bin is simple to empty. Overall, it’s a powerful, convenient vacuum that makes everyday cleaning quick and easy. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great cordless vacuum cleaner for small quick jobs. Its light, easy to mauever, and picks up nearly everything in its path. Cons: the battery life is disappointing. Overall, great vacuum for small apt and quick jobs. Would recommend!

I bought this without much thought as Dyson is supposed to be a good product/well-engineered. It is rated well by consumer reports, etc. Good: It is lightweight. Easy to empty. Gets under furniture. Good filters; do not let dust back into the air. Charges relatively quickly. Lots of useful attachments. Bad: The hand grip is too small. I am not a large-handed man, but it is a fairly tight squeeze and not a comfortable design. There are no lights on the front; low-angle lights make it easier to see the dirt you need to vacuum. I have never owned a vacuum without lights, and I hate it! There is a very slim opening in the front, and most debris thicker than a cheerio will get pushed around. You then lift and set the vacuum on it, and you can vacuum it up. You can only pick up dirt going forward. I think this is intentional, as not to let dirt fly out from behind it, but it is pretty annoying, and an easy fix. It has been a little over a year and the battery is starting to go. No longer can I vacuum our small house (wood floors) without it dying. Put it in max suction mode and it lasts maybe 2 minutes. I would not purchase it again.

Works great. More power and pickup than the V7 I used for years. Lightweight, nice attachments. Good product.

Amazing handheld vacuum. It is extremely light but has more power than all the robot vacuums my wife wanted for the house. In fact she is now asking for one for home. This was purchased for my office. Love the way it tilts helping to get everywhere. Dislike the battery life; however, this wasn’t purchased as primary vacuum so that isn’t a big deal. Also the process to empty the bin is a little odd but that might be user error.

The Dyson V8 cordless vacuum is an excellent vacuum for an apartment. It can do it all, from floor vacuuming (flexible floor attachment can get under furniture and beds) to cleaning surfaces and knickknacks. I have used it to vacuum the interior of my car, given that Best Buy sells a car and boat Dyson that is the V8 without the floor attachment. The battery lasts long enough to get most cleaning done (recharging gives me a chance to sit down and rest). The regular power setting is all I use; the max setting is too powerful for what I use it for. The real convenience is being able to pick it up and vacuum without having to find an outlet or deal with a cord. It's really light weight, too, so I'm not straining to hold a vacuum cleaner with one hand while I'm trying to clean with the other. Discharging the dust container is really easy, though it is not as squeaky clean as the ads say. The door will get dust on it, which then needs to be wiped off. The wall bracket lets me store the V8 out of the way and keep it charged for when I need it. The only downside is the cost. It's rather expensive compared to other brands. Given the versatility and convenience, if it lasts five years, then the V8 will have been worth the purchase.

Dyson is known for innovation and the Dyson v8 Animal lives up to the history of innovation at Dyson. We've owned three generations of the full-size Dyson vacuum cleaners and honestly wouldn't consider any other brand at this time. While we'll likely continue to use the full-size Dyson for most of the cleaning in the home, the Dyson v8 cord-free vacuum really comes into it's own when getting to more challenging areas of the home or outside in the car. The Dyson v8 arrived partially charged although you'll want to charge it fully before using it beyond just checking it out for a few moments. As with other vacuum cleaners by Dyson, the v8 Animal comes with an assortment of attachments that make it truly versatile. The box suggests that the v8 Animal will provide 40 minutes of "fade-free" suction and it appears to deliver on this promise. As with other Dyson vacuum cleaners, the suction does not disappoint. It will easily clean the most challenging areas of your home or office and I only wish I'd bought one of these sooner!

Lifechanging. There is no substitute. Sure, the battery could last a bit longer but plan ahead and you'll be more than satisfied with the suction, portability and ease of use with (at least for me) zero maintenance. Note: I purchased two of these during the holiday season from BB for $350 each. You generally don't see that type of reduction and price on Dyson. Couldn't pass it up. Separate comment on quality. My first Dyson (purchased approx. 10 yrs. ago) still works like new. I'm embarrassed to say I've never performed any recommended maintenance on it... Nor have needed to replace any parts. Charge it and go. Empty. Charge and go. Lastly it charges relatively quick (about an hour).

This vacuum is strong and gets into all the area I need to pickup the debris and dust of living in a city apartment. I also have a cat so it makes cleaning litter very easy. The battery lasts much longer than older models I’ve used and it’s slim so you can store it in a small closet if you need to. A very efficient and worthwhile purchase!

I have long been a Dyson enthusiast. We have or have given as presents, multiple Dyson Air purifiers, upright vacuums and Cordless vacuums to family and friends. They are all quality built machines that work year in and out to help you keep your home clean! This Dyson V8 is the newest edition to our family cleaning arsenal and per my wife it is wonderful! I use a Dyson V11 upstairs but my wife wanted a lighter version so I go her the Dyson V8 for use downstairs and on the stairs! It is used primarily for quick pickups and for keeping the staircase clean and it does all of that with ease. Powerful? Yup! Light and easy to manage? Yup! Did I mention how powerful it is? It really is! And the attachments make clean so much easier, believe me. I cannot sing the praises of Dyson's V8 enough. My wife is happy and that is important to me! Thank you!

LOVE this vacuum. Its super lightweight. I bought because i have a corgi that sheds heavily. This vacuum was able to easily get up all the hair from my wood floors, tile floors, and carpet. Also used the detachable function to vacuum dog hair from couch cushions. Worked great. Battery also lasts long

I bought this Dyson when it was on sale. After 8 months of use, I would give this vacuum a 4 out of 5 (overall: good). Pros: Lightweight Durable build Easy to empty/clean strong suction (on highest setting) The vacuum head doesn't not clump with hair or debris and is easy to clean Cons: Battery dies (relatively) quickly after 8 months of daily use) There is no light on the vacuum head (previous vacuums had an LED light that made vacuum darker areas very convenient. The vacuum head is rather tall, and cannot get into some spaces of my house The low setting is rather worthless because the suction is very low. Overall: This is a good vacuum however being cordless it runs into the same issue I have had with previous vacuums; the battery eventually does not hold a charge for long, particularly if you use the highest setting.

The Dyson V8 is a total game-changer! It’s super lightweight, easy to use, and has great suction power. I love that it’s cordless, so I don’t have to deal with annoying wires while cleaning. The battery life is solid—I can clean my whole place on one charge. It works great on both carpets and hard floors, and the attachments make it easy to clean furniture and hard-to-reach spots. Plus, emptying the bin is quick and mess-free. Overall, it’s been totally worth it. If you’re looking for a reliable, hassle-free vacuum, this is it!

I love my handy dandy vacuam. It is light and has good suction. He gets the job done, even jn tight spaces!

Picks up dirt I did not even know was there. Has two suction strengths which works well to switch between carpet and hardwood floors. Floor attachment has blades to cut up any hair to prevent it getting clogged in the vacuum. Lightweight and easy to use!! Can charge it anywhere!
