Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lots of power and works even better than our last one. Especially the powered beater attachment. Our old one kept stopping the beater attachment as it wasn't powered like this one is. This one is also easier to empty. Our old one would get animal hair wrapped around and not want to come out of the bottom without digging it out. They made a great product even better with this one!

Good vacuum but the battery does not last that long. On the strongest setting, the battery will only last about 7 minutes. I wish they provided another battery to have charging while your using the device.

It’s great not having a cord, however, it does not keep a charge for very long making it inconvenient to clean more than one room. The cleaning quality is just ok, not great. I’ll look at other vacuums when I buy another one.

Perfect for small home. Also, lightweight for the older female. Great for stairs

Great portability, battery seems short lived, super light weight, wife loves it for stairs, overpriced but convenient,

Lasts a bit longer than they say it does, even on high, with the Motorhead attached. Super strong suction. The amount of dust it picks up is amazing.

I use this as a in between vacuum cleaner for thoses spot messes the kids make works great wish the powerful mode lasted longer is my only complaint

This Dyson V8 does a nice job. The only thing that would make it better is if you could turn it on without having to hold the button down the entire time it's in use.

This vacuum is easy to use and holds a charge long enough to vacuum my entire house. It is convenient for quick a quick vacuum and while not meant for super deep cleaning, it sucks up the animal hair well enough in my house.

I was impressed by the ease of use, light weight & no cords!

I could not give the Dyson V8 a better review. I have own/owned so many Dyson products (including several vacuums) over the last 15 - 20 or so years, and this is one of the best. The snag proof rolling head is one of their best improvements. I know they are pricey; but with superior cleaning and the unconditional warranty, it’s money well spent.

Great vacuum. Battery life could be a little better

This vacum works well but the battery died for me in 20 minutes. I think that carpet vacuuming slows it down.

Got this for Christmas, and love it so far! These Dyson vacs are a bit pricey but totally worth it for the convenience and ease of use. The battery lasts long enough to do most of our 2000 square foot home, as long as you don’t have it on max power. Very light and compact which makes getting in tight spots a breeze. So easy to do the stairs now, too!

I bought two competing cordless"animal vacs" before choosing the Dyson Animal V8. After several uses, the brush rollers on other vacs became hopelessly tangled with dog hair after a few minutes of use. Even the dust bin on one model got so badly clogged it stopped working. So they went back. The Best Buy associate explained why the Dyson would not have these problems--and she was RIGHT!!! Three features that seem to make a huge difference. The Dyson has (1) a lot more power, (2) a dust bin design that prevents clogging and (3) a roller that's mostly smooth with only one spiral row of brushes. Plus the Dyson can be charged on it's wall bracket without removing the battery! This vac is a winner in my book!!!

This vacuum has made cleaning my home soooo much easier. We got a new dog and her hair is much more noticeable so we are vacuuming more frequently and this really fit the bill. I already recommended it to a friend who already purchased it also

Ease of use right out of the box. Excellent on both rugs and hardwood floors. Even after you have dusted a hardwood floor the V8 picks up even more dust. Lays flat to get under tables, dressers, and beds.

We’ve always had two dogs that shed a ton and also bring in outside dirt and debris. Thought our normal vacuum was good, but tried a Dyson and our world changed. Never knew how much the old vacuum was leaving behind. Add to that the ease and convenience of a cordless lightwieght vacuum, and we are Dyson customers for life.

I love how light it is. Great for quick cleanups or even doing about half the house. Trade off for its weight is the battery which doesnt last as long and one would like. Carpet can be a challenge but still kinda works.

We have a five-level place and were in need of a moderate cordless vacuum and have been happy with this and recommend it for those with similar needs. We have used Dyson before and while please with their machines, they are pricy. That said, if you need a moderately powerful cordless vacuum, definitely consider this.
