Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would give this vacuum 5 stars but the battery life is super frustrating but I love this vacuum, I even take it to my son's house when I help him clean. Don't know how I lived without it, just have to use about 30 minutes at a time.

The on/off trigger has to be held continuously while using the the vacuum. I realized this while taking the vacuum out of the box. I had to return the vacuum since holding the trigger continuously would have aggravated a hand condition I have. I cannot rate the actual performance of the vacuum since I did not use it, but I'm giving a 3-star rating for the strange design of the power mechanism.

I made my own v8 absolute by buying v8 animal at Best Buy when on sale (saving $100) and buying a soft roller on Amazon. The soft roller is great for the hardwood floor but v8 animal does not come with it. However, the only difference between v8 animal and v8 absolute is the soft roller and the price difference between the two is $150, while the soft roller was $100 on Amazon. So I ended up saving $50 for my own v8 absolute (= v8 animal + soft roller). I bought 4 year protection ($60) from Best Buy to have a peace of mind. (I also compared protection plans across different sellers and I liked the Best Buy one). My v8 absolute (v8 animal + soft roller) has been working great so far.

Best thing every and it help me clean my dog hair anytime

The Dyson stick vac is by far the best vacuum I have ever owned. I will never go without one!

I just received this yesterday. I put it together and started to use it on the constant cat hair I have to keep after. It handled it without hesitation. I was blown away by how easily it works. I am sorry I did not buy this earlier. I would buy another no problem.

Great for picking up dog hair. Not heavy at all and it being cordless is definitely a plus. The charging time is about 4-5 hours and you can get 40 mins use out of it which is the only major drawback.

This is what I was looking for. Cordless, powerful, compact. The best thing it has few attachments/accessories, so using it to clean a car or a house is as easy as ever it can be even for kids (not being afraid that they would mess up with cords...).

Never thought it’d be so easy cleaning my house with this. Comes with all necessary tools and I even cleaned out my car. Battery life could be a little better but other than that absolutely no complaints. Great suction and great value.

The Dyson V8 is great! I ordered it to pick up kitty litter and cat food and it works great!

I've been using Dyson's cordless vacuums since they were first announced. The very first iteration was an incredible breakthrough in cordless vacuums with its unique design and great (for the time) performance. Some years later I purchased the V6 when it was released since I wanted longer battery life and more suction for the hair left around the house by our cats. We used the V6 on a daily basis until the battery would barely hold a charge (this took years to happen). During this recent Black Friday, Best Buy had an incredible deal on the V8 Animal that I couldn't pass up! The V8 has a MUCH better disposal system, a MUCH improved motorized head design for animal hair and SAME suction power on low as the V6 had on high which means INCREDIBLE battery life!! Although the V10 might be the latest and greatest with a large bin and even longer battery life, don't discount the V8. It's amazing!

The v8 functions really well for home use as well as use in the car. The different attachments allow for easy cleaning of various household items and floors. It is more than capable of cleaning around the house, Even cleaning the different attachments is easy.

This item is the Best lighter than I thought still suction is Great! Put together in minutes two pieces snaps in place Seniors will love this Ohhh just thought I better get one for the RV Thx Best Buy

Good vacuum only downfall is the battery doesn’t last too long, which they advertise- but two settings so runs out quicker on the more powerful setting. Does what I intended for it to do however, but it really looking to clean a larger area with the higher power, would suggest upping to the longer battery model for sure.

This is an excellent vacuum. Cleans throughly. Easy to customize and empty. One charge lasts long enough to vacuum an entire floor. I highly recommend this product.

Our larger Dyson was a bit to big and heavy for our new hardwood floors. This unit allows quick, cordless use for minor spills or to cover tree entire first floor. Lightweight and full of attachments, we've used it extensively for everything from dust webs to furniture.

We have a lot of pets and this vacuum works perfectly! Picks up easily and isn't loud. Even my 5yo can use it

This vacuum is life changing! The amount of dirt it picks up from the carpet is disturbing. It works well on hard floor surfaces too. All the hype is real so if you're on the fence, just buy it!

Great buy. Cleans well all surfaces and swallows away all the hair my dog sheds. P.S. Hopefully I could once win the $400 Best Buy proposed so many times before and then I'll write many more reviews lol.

This was an upgrade to the previous model - we love it - the only downside is the wheels - they mark up the floors - I wish Dyson would fix this. We just removed the wheels and works fine without them.
