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.

Wasn’t Worth It
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited to get this vacuum because I only ever hear great things about Dyson. I was so disappointed in this. I have pets and a toddler, so I need something that picks up the hair and the snacks. It was great with picking up hair and tiny bits of messes. However, I found that it was a struggle just to pick up pieces of pet food. I couldn’t simply run the vacuum over it, but had to lift the vacuum and place it juuuust right over what it needed to pick up. Dog food, pieces of pretzels, pieces of crackers, etc. were horrible to try to pick up. After this, I’m glad I didn’t get rid of my Shark vacuum.

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 askdysonUS@dyson.com with your serial number, description of issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.
Best Wishes,
Krystal

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.

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

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.

Great suction and power
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was afraid to get a cordless vacuum because I thought the suction wouldn't be great! But this Dyson changed my mind. I love the power and how easy it is empty the container. I find myself using it in place of my corded Dyson (I thought I was just going to use it to supplement my other Dyson).

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.

Powerful little sucker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been eying this vacuum for months. Wanted something lightweight powerful and lasting. This little guy fits all those categories. I have 3 dogs at home and the Dyson V8 animal is exactly what I’ve been wanting. No cords to drag or get tangled, one charge can last while I do the entire house. Love it.

Dyson
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the only vacuum I will ever use again. It is cordless so there was no cords to trip over or plug and unplug. The suction is great on the lower setting but it does have a higher suction option. It is great for pet hair.
