Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Everything about it is AWESOME!

So worth the money. Light weight and great for getting under beds, dressers, etc.

So easy and convienient to use. The kids actually enjoy “sweeping” the kitchen floor now.

Convenient Effective Holds a lengthy charge Good suction

No dirt is left out...it picks everything. Pricey but worth it.

The Dyson V8 Animal is a vey impressive cordless vacuum and another solid entry in the Dyson line. Most of my house is hard flooring so I wasn't able to gauge the quality of the supplied direct drive cleaner head on carpet. What I can say is that it cleaned my flooring in spectacular fashion. We have multiple dogs and cats and the rolling hairballs disappeared with minimal effort. It also sucked up multiple LEGO pieces with little fanfare. The nice thing about the canister system on the vacuum is that it is very easy to pick through the dirt to rescue small pieces that you didn't intend to suck up. My kids are thankful. The pivoting head also makes corners and tight spots easier to reach quickly. I did use the vacuum on several rugs throughout the house and they seem to do a great job of at least giving the appearance that they are cleaner. I didn't get down on my hands and knees and do a thorough inspection of the rug fibers, but it was certainly good enough for me. A word of caution about the suction on this model. It's intense. One of my lighter rugs got jammed in the head due to the suction, not the head itself. Battery life easily hit 40 minutes for me as I was doing mostly hard floors. Possibly with more carpeting the battery life may be shorter as it puts more strain on the cleaning head. The additional tools supplied are great for cleaning in deep crevices of a sofa for instance. As a whole I think the V8 Animal is wonderful, but the price does give me pause. I know Dyson is generally spendy and I do believe you get what you pay for in this case. If you want a solid cordless vacuum that will last then the Dyson is pretty much the standard.

Bought this for my friend. They just love it!!!!!!

Awesome cordless vacuum, by far much better than similar competitors.

I've had/gone through 4 Dyson vacuums, and this is my favorite of the bunch. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5* was due to the battery life.
