Great Vacuum wish batter last longer.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Powerful Vacuum This Vacuum Works Really Good! it pulls up the carpet pile really well and removes stuff you didn't want to know was in your carpet! Couple things I want to mention. When all the reviews say the battery life is short, BELIVE IT! it runs 15 minutes on Max power (maybe, I wasn't timing it but it wasn't long). Of course you want to use "super Suck on the carpet to get it good, but... I can only get the living room and hallway done before the vacuum is done and FYI the battery gets really warm and its close to your hand when using the vacuum. Then I plug it in to charge and it takes about 5 hours to charge. ** NOTE dont plug it in to charge as soon as your done (when the battery's hot) cause it wont charge (the blue light will blink forever and your going to have to look up what the heck that means and wont be happy that you spent $400 on a vacuum and the first time you charge it it blinks at you.... The canister is small, in mentioned apartment I emptied it 8 times, given the carpet has never been vacuumed with this super sucking vacuum before so it might get better. That said the capacity really not that bad. The other thing that i didn't see in reviews is the size/length of the cleaning head its the size/length of a size 10 mens shoe. So it takes longer to vacuum. The Small vacuum attachment works really good on stairs. and it comes with a wall caddy. All and all I would recommend this vacuum the things I mentioned are really not that bad (nothing prefect), its light but I think my wife will complain about the weight of it cause it starts getting heavier as you use it. (good thing I like to vacuum ;) )

FANTASTIC VACUUM BY DYSON!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to the V8 Animal after getting a dog. My girlfriend and I had a V6 Motorhead, but had issues with the dog hair getting caught in the bin where it was hard to reach. Here is what I like more about the V8 Animal VS the V6 Motorhead: Larger bin to collect dirt, longer run time, greater suction, easy disposal of dirt with new pull handle, easy to connect attachments with easier button to press, LED indicator light to show battery %, and it has a HEPA filther. I absolutely love this vacuum, especially on-sale at BestBuy for $399. This vacuum retails for $499. I recommend this vacuum over the V8 Absolute (highest V8 model) simply because it is a whooping $599 and all you get is the hardwood floor attachment. The only complaint I have is the run-time on MAX setting. It is still only around 7 minutes. That is why I rated this vacuum at 4 stars.

Posted .Hello Pedro, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson V8 Animal features a direct-drive cleanerhead, with gentle carbon fiber bristles safe for any flooring type, but powerful enough to pick up debris from both bare floors and carpets. While the machine will offer less run time in MAX power mode, most households find standard power sufficient for everyday messes. When using your machine in MAX with the direct-drive Motorhead, run time will be approximately 7 minutes. Dyson Animal variants come equipped with a mini motorized head which is designed to pick up pet hair from furniture and stairs. You can also use this tool with the machine in MAX power for optimum pick-up, if you find that standard power is leaving pet hair behind.
We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected]. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.

Good value, can be overpowered
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good vacuum, holds a charge for a very long time! The attachments are great as well. It does not do well with things like cat litter though. I’ve tried to get some of it up, but only the max power will really help it and there are some issues with the max power. Keep turning on and off. It get overheated. The compartment is pretty small but it’s super easy to clean out. Overall it’s great, but don’t overload it or it craps out.

Half Better/Half Not
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I currently own a V6 as well as this V8. What is nice is the amount of power this has and the number of tools that came with this versus my V6. I really appreciate that they've updated the canister dump mechanism. The drawback to that power though is that it's too strong for lighter weight area rugs. It gets hard to push on max suction and eventually the brush head stops. I assume this is an intentional design. Another issue I have is with the newer motorized head. On carpet, it doesn't seem to clean as well on the first pass as the the powered carbon head of the V6. On heavier rugs/carpets and bare floors, it cleans well, just wish they'd kept the old power head.

It sucks...because its a vacuum.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sucks so well. I can't get it to stop sucking that i Just let us suck whatever it wants. I even sometime wait late at night and let us suck when no one is around and have the candles on.
