      Hello Patsy, this is Kelly with Dyson. Your Dyson V8™ cordless offers two powerful suction modes - regular and MAX. MAX provides a boost of suction for larger debris or more stubborn messes. This mode should not be utilized for your everyday cleaning, as it will only give you about 7 minutes of run time. Regular suction is generally suitable for every household, and gives up to 40 minutes of run time (30 when using a motorized tool). If you feel that your V8 might be malfunctioning, we do offer a two-year warranty on this product. Just reach out to our customer support at askdysonUS@dyson.com so we can help.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    Waste of money. Works great for about a year. Then the battery charge lasts for about 45 seconds. This happened to us for three models. Highly recommend not buying.

    Amazing vacuum!! Got this as a Xmas gift for my dad who is a clean freak. He uses this vacuum everyday on his vinyl laminate flooring and rugs. He has a long haired German Shepard that constantly sheds. This vacuum would make you think he didn’t even have a dog. If you are considering this vacuum, just buy it you won’t regret it.

    I love this vac and find it very handy for all my vacuuming needs. It’s a very compact installation, perfect for my apartment. It does a great job and so far has met or exceeded all my expectations. It is heavier than I expected and holding the trigger the whole time while using is somewhat uncomfortable.

    The worst!!!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve always been a Dyson fan but this is THE WORST!! If you’re buying it for hardwood floors then you’ll love it but if you want to use it on carpet - it SUCKS!!!! I wish I never would have bought it! It says it’s clogged or the air filter needs cleaned and you do all the things and it still doesn’t work. I’ve taken this thing apart and cleaned it more times than I’ve used it!! The worst! Save your money!! I’m going to have to go and buy another vacuum cleaner just for bedroom carpets and you better believe it’s not going to be a Dyson!!

    Breaks down and Worst Service Ever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So I purchased both an upright and the wand vacuum. The upright hose blew a hole in the first year, could not get anyone from Dyson to return a call, so it sat there. The wand stopped working and again good luck getting much help. Now a few years has gone by, forgot they were still there and I go to a best buy which had a Dyson rep who asked me if I had tried one. Well she got more than she bargained for but she gave me a card and told me there was a service center and they would take care of me. I go there, they charge me $32.00 for a new hose, OK I will let that go but then they say the main body of the wand is shot and needs to be replaced for $134.00, half the price of a new one. When I stated What happened and how can they charge for a part that was obviously defective, they stated I can pay it or call Dyson, who also said I can pay it. DONT BUY DYSON, they break down and they will charge almost the same amount as a new one to fix. I would rather buy a $100 vacuum every year for the next 8 years than go through this again!!

    This vacuum sucks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am a shark lover, but i decided to try a Dyson. We have hardwood floors with a washable area rug in our living room. This vacuum works great on hardwood, but the moment i tried to vacuum the area rug, the vacuum stopped every time. Also the vacuum head doesn't always stay flat on the ground. Will be returning this one less than 24 hr after buying.

    5 hrs to charge. Only 20 min run time

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have owned this vacuum for two weeks and regret my purchase for the following reasons: (1) Charge Time: It takes 5 hrs to fully charge the battery (2) Run Time: On a full charge I am unable to complete vacuuming my hardwood floors in 3 full rooms. I can only get my living room, dining room, and 1/2 my kitchen done, (1200 square feet) (3) Convenience: Not convenient to then wait 5 more hours to charge to finish 3 more rooms. (4) Blowback: The design means while you are vacuuming the air exhaust gets blown on your arm (there is no escaping and I have no idea how clean this air exhaust is) (5) The dirt release is a little tricky. On the pro side, I am happy it has a hepa filter and a washable filter. But for over $300 this is ridiculous. And we do like our Dyson upright. So really surprised by this experience.

      Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We are sorry to hear that you're regretting your purchase of the Dyson V8 Animal. 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.

    You'll love it now, hate it in 1-2 years

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    ***Dyson keeps deleting my post from their main website as they filter out negative posts.*** I used to say this vacuum was one of my top 5 favorite things ever. Within a year, the battery was seriously suffering. After 2 years, I could only get about 10 minutes of straight vacuuming before it would die. I dealt with it because I loved the vacuum so much and would keep the house clean just to tidy with the V8 - but it would sometimes take me an entire day to vacuum the house because I had to keep charging. Jump ahead to this past year, I finally reached out to Dyson as my vacuum can't hold a charge for longer than 30 seconds to 1 minute straight whereas it takes 5+ hours to charge it back up. I literally can't vacuum anything now before it dies as there are no corded options. THIS VACUUM DOES NOT WORK WHILE CHARGING OR PLUGGED IN. I finally reached out to customer service who told me I was a few months passed the warranty (I seriously thought Dyson was a company who's caliber would back up lifetime warranties so I had no idea there was a 2 year expiration date on that). They redirected me to purchasing a battery which is not cheap by any means (I could literally buy a whole new off brand vacuum that point). To make matters worse, the item has been out of stock for MONTHS! So, here I am without a vacuum at all and even if I was desperate enough to purchase the battery. I'm beginning to wonder if this problem is so prevalent that Dyson can't keep up with battery replacements for this machine. Or if Dyson keeps the battery out of stock on purpose to force consumers to buy NEW machines.

      Hi there, this is Tia with Dyson. We're sorry to hear you say this. To clarify, all cordless machines purchased new from Dyson directly or an authorized retailer include a 2 year warranty. While Dyson batteries are made to last the life of the machine, depending on use, it may be necessary to replace the battery a little sooner than expected.

      If ever needed, feel free to reach out to our support team for help with your battery at questions.us@dyson.com. Please keep in mind parts purchased through Dyson's site include a one year warranty. Thank you for choosing Dyson technology!

      Best wishes,

    LEss than 3 years after buying a dyson, battery is "dead". Throughout life never delivered "promised" runtimes. With this short a battery life, it has been almost useless. Kept my corded Vaccuum as pack up and use it more often!!

      Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've had issues with run time on your V8, from the time you acquired your machine. I'm not certain from your review here if you ever reached out to us for support, however we are available via multiple channels: live chat, email and phone, and always happy to help troubleshoot any issues you might be having.

      Dyson V8 Animal features two suction modes; MAX and standard. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. MAX power is really only needed for tough cleaning jobs. Also, while many do use Dyson cordless machines as their main vacuum at home, if you prefer a longer run time, we’d recommend one of our compact uprights or canister models.
       
      We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
