Incredible Vacuum!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this vacuum . It came nicely packaged and was very easy to assemble . This vacuum has incredible suction power and is very lightweight . I use this mainly for a quick cleanup but it would work well to do your regular vacuuming as well. I would definitely recommend this ! You will not be disappointed !

GREAT!!!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dont normally spend this kind of money on something but I'm glad I did.. I clean my vehicles and needed something without a cord. I also have an older house and it doesnt have plugs everywhere so I got this to ease my cleaning and I will say I'm glad I spent the money. Its lightweight. Easy to use.

So much dirt
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After using it for a month or so I can say it works great and is easy to use. I bought it for my wife's upstairs office and it works almost as well as a full size vacuum. I am considering another purchase for home to use between major cleanings. These are expensive, but I caught it on sale and saved $100.

Not impressed.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mine stopped working less than 6 months in. I’m not sure this vacuum is worth the price. I called Dyson to replace it but they only replaced the main body not the entire vacuum. If this fixes the issue I will update the review. So far not impressed. I also have an Aussie she sheds a lot, so I’m unsure if this could be the reason it died so soon. I was under the assumption that this was a quality vacuum.

Good light vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this vacuum because I wanted something lighter and easier to use than our heavy upright. So far, it has worked well, and in some cases better than the bigger vacuum. I do wish there were written directions as well as the pictographic ones, however. For instance, I'm not sure what some of the attachments are meant for ( although I know what I will use them for.)

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son has a Dyson stick vacuum and after using his I knew it would go on my must have list. The best thing about the Dyson is no cord to get in the way (the hardest thing to get used to.). It makes cleaning almost effortless. If you want a vacuum with plenty of power, this would be the one to get.

Better than V10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a new V8 as mine started dying after almost 2 yrs of everyday use. I purchased the 2-year warranty from Best Buy, I went to the store for repairs but They replaced my old one. I am so happy as my V8 is the 1st ever greatest vacuum cleaner. I got dogs and it works like magic. I have another well-reviewed vacuum brand unit and you can see the difference how it worked.

Try other brands before going with this one first
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expected more out of this vacuum since it’s a Dyson and the price is so much. It is light weight and easy to assemble from one attachment to another. First thing it says is to charge for 5 hours, but It does come with a dock so you can hang it anywhere. The button doesn’t stay on, you have to hold it down in order for the vacuum to continuously run. Emptying out the container is a little annoying and I haven’t been able to figure out a smooth way of dispensing yet or maybe it’s always difficult. It doesn’t pick up dirt from the carpet first swipe, I had to go over multiple times to clean. Hardwood floors it worked okay on. Didn’t make any of the small pieces fly around. It doesn’t pick up items as big as cereal which is annoying since I bought this to not have to sweep. Overall it works, just not worth the price or quality.

Posted .Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We were glad to hear that in your use thus far, you have found the V8 Animal to be so easy to use and assemble. We're also glad that you've found it to be so light in weight. Our cord-free machines are designed with easy of use in mind.
We know that battery run time is a very important aspect of performance for our owners, so we developed a trigger that helps maximize the amount of time you can clean on one charge. We chose a light-touch trigger over an on/off switch to ensure that battery life is never wasted by letting the machine run when it's not in active use.
Your Dyson also features our latest hygienic dirt ejector, designed to drive out trapped dust and debris in one action - so you never need to touch it. We would value the opportunity to ensure that your unit is performing as intended as we are committed to customer satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to reach out to askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Ok Broom but Limited Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well for occasional use. Limited battery life at full power. Somewhat disappointing. Replaces and old Dyson Animal Vacuum, which finally quit after 15 years. I'm sure this won't last that long.

Handy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have the big Dyson vacuum but we needed something a lil easier to maneuver around pet hair, human hair after haircuts and crumbs after the little ones eat. It charges quickly and it's easy to use. I caught it on sale during Black Friday and it was a great value find! 5 stars.

Great vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum is awesome! Makes quick vacuuming easy and quick! This has replaced our super expensive Miele as the main vacuum in the house. Only negative is short battery life but you can easily charge it back up if you need to vacuum more than 30 mins.

Awesome portable vacuum
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a tiny apartment and this more than does the trick to actually vacuum the entire place. Not only is it powerful, it's super light which makes it easy to transport and clean up small messes. The only thing that isn't great is its small storage capacity, but it's really easy to empty the bin.

This was an upgrade to our old one and love it
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Beats my wife's Kirby...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I use the Kirby on the main floor and a secondary vacuum in our basement/lower floor. After going through a Hover and a Kenmore (which lasted a long time) I decided to go wireless. My philosophy is you get what you pay for in most cases, and so I went a bit more high end. While not the 11 I thought I'd go with the V8 Animal and I'm not regretting it. I don't know the long term, but in the short term it is excellent. I tried it right after using the Kirby. And I was impressed at what it did on what I would have thought was a good job, pulling hair and a ton of dirt that the Kirby was leaving behind. Needless to say I don't mind using it and as a bonus it is excellent on stairs. Nearly effortless is how I would describe it.

Excellent for ALL surfaces, especially dog hair
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best Vacuum I have Owned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is just a perfect combination of being lightweight, powerful, and flexible. Our downstairs is tile and what used to be an hours long process of sweeping is now less than 30 minutes. I actually vacuum recreationally now...it's very soothing and satisfying.

not as good as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This does a pretty good job on carpet and lasts a full 30 minutes + per charge, but it does not do a good job on hardwood as far as small bits and dust. I wavered between this one and the one with the soft interchangeable brush for the next model up - should have spent the extra $200 and got that model. However, I can use this often and not worry about having to pull out my full size vacuum most times. It is easy to use and charges pretty quickly. I like how easy it is to dump the dirt.

Posted .Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson V8 Animal. I am pleased to hear you are satisfied with how well it works on your carpet and how well it works for quick cleanups without having to pull out the bigger vacuum.
The direct drive cleaner head that this model includes is designed to work across most common floor types including bare floors. It features a row of carbon fiber filaments with an anti-static property to help pick up the stubborn dust from bare floors. Therefore, it is unusual to hear that it is not working well for you on your bare floors.
We would value the opportunity to address this and want to ensure your vacuum is working as intended. Please contact us at [email protected] with your serial number, description of issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.
Best Wishes,
Krystal
