I made my own v8 absolute by buying v8 animal at Best Buy when on sale (saving $100) and buying a soft roller on Amazon. The soft roller is great for the hardwood floor but v8 animal does not come with it. However, the only difference between v8 animal and v8 absolute is the soft roller and the price difference between the two is $150, while the soft roller was $100 on Amazon. So I ended up saving $50 for my own v8 absolute (= v8 animal + soft roller). I bought 4 year protection ($60) from Best Buy to have a peace of mind. (I also compared protection plans across different sellers and I liked the Best Buy one). My v8 absolute (v8 animal + soft roller) has been working great so far.

We use this regularly around the house and it works great. We recently had a major housefly infestation and used the vacuum to capture flies. Amazing suction and versatility!

We have a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment and I can vacuum my whole apartment on 1 charge using the lower setting. The max suction option is literally only good for quick pick ups. Like spilled food on floors. Very easy to clean. And I feel the floors are MUCH cleaner after I use this, like nothing is left behind. All of the attachments are easy to use as well.

This item is the Best lighter than I thought still suction is Great! Put together in minutes two pieces snaps in place Seniors will love this Ohhh just thought I better get one for the RV Thx Best Buy

It cleans well but battery life is way tooo short and that is why I give it a 3 star, but other aspects of the vacuum I am happy with. My battery life can only clean 1 bedroom(small) and probably my kitchen (also small) then it's dead.

It is good while operating but very poor battery. On full charge it hardly lasted 20 mins. It take 2 to 3 hours to get full charge. Bin is very small.

Excellent suction, Easy assembly. Charges quickly. Easy to use and change attachments. It is on the high end price level but we trust the Dyson brand for reliability and longevity.

Absurdly handy. I don't have to drag out the regular vacuum and it works so well in cars. I bought it on sale and would recommend if you can wait to save the 100 dollars but otherwise go for it!

Never thought it’d be so easy cleaning my house with this. Comes with all necessary tools and I even cleaned out my car. Battery life could be a little better but other than that absolutely no complaints. Great suction and great value.

I just received this yesterday. I put it together and started to use it on the constant cat hair I have to keep after. It handled it without hesitation. I was blown away by how easily it works. I am sorry I did not buy this earlier. I would buy another no problem.

This is what I was looking for. Cordless, powerful, compact. The best thing it has few attachments/accessories, so using it to clean a car or a house is as easy as ever it can be even for kids (not being afraid that they would mess up with cords...).

The Dyson stick vac is by far the best vacuum I have ever owned. I will never go without one!

Exactly what I wanted. Easy to use and empty. Picks up well. Very efficient. Easy to vacuum under things and stairs. Had for almost a month and no problems

Good vacuum only downfall is the battery doesn’t last too long, which they advertise- but two settings so runs out quicker on the more powerful setting. Does what I intended for it to do however, but it really looking to clean a larger area with the higher power, would suggest upping to the longer battery model for sure.

I've been using Dyson's cordless vacuums since they were first announced. The very first iteration was an incredible breakthrough in cordless vacuums with its unique design and great (for the time) performance. Some years later I purchased the V6 when it was released since I wanted longer battery life and more suction for the hair left around the house by our cats. We used the V6 on a daily basis until the battery would barely hold a charge (this took years to happen). During this recent Black Friday, Best Buy had an incredible deal on the V8 Animal that I couldn't pass up! The V8 has a MUCH better disposal system, a MUCH improved motorized head design for animal hair and SAME suction power on low as the V6 had on high which means INCREDIBLE battery life!! Although the V10 might be the latest and greatest with a large bin and even longer battery life, don't discount the V8. It's amazing!

So far it works great. I do wish the battery lasted longer.

Excellent vacuum Easy to use and is extremely light weight. Allows you to get into hard to places. Does a great job in picking up dog fur from carpets and hardwood floors. Highly recommended!

The v8 functions really well for home use as well as use in the car. The different attachments allow for easy cleaning of various household items and floors. It is more than capable of cleaning around the house, Even cleaning the different attachments is easy.

This is awesome!!!! It’s so easy to use, to charge and to store. I have 3 fur babies and I needed a vacuum that easy to use and had a good suction. This product meets my needs.

The Dyson V8 is great! I ordered it to pick up kitty litter and cat food and it works great!
