Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it, perfect for cleaning furniture and hard to reach places.

This vacuum is my first cordless experience. I wish I had purchased it years ago.

We loved our vacuum so much that we bought one for my parents.

Upgraded from a Dyson that was over 19 years old. This does great things, just wish the battery life was a little better

Awesome vacuum, easy and light weight to be able to carry up and down the steps

Battery could be smaller kinda awkward handling. Not worth all the hype

Perfect tool when you have and have to use it daily

Works on multiple surfaces and not heavy at all while also being powerful.

Game changer! Best purchase I have made in a while.

This vacuum is great! Vacuum cleaning with no wire makes cleaning a so easy!

This is by far the best vacuum I’ve ever encountered. You will love it!

The Dyson V8 Animal is a vey impressive cordless vacuum and another solid entry in the Dyson line. Most of my house is hard flooring so I wasn't able to gauge the quality of the supplied direct drive cleaner head on carpet. What I can say is that it cleaned my flooring in spectacular fashion. We have multiple dogs and cats and the rolling hairballs disappeared with minimal effort. It also sucked up multiple LEGO pieces with little fanfare. The nice thing about the canister system on the vacuum is that it is very easy to pick through the dirt to rescue small pieces that you didn't intend to suck up. My kids are thankful. The pivoting head also makes corners and tight spots easier to reach quickly. I did use the vacuum on several rugs throughout the house and they seem to do a great job of at least giving the appearance that they are cleaner. I didn't get down on my hands and knees and do a thorough inspection of the rug fibers, but it was certainly good enough for me. A word of caution about the suction on this model. It's intense. One of my lighter rugs got jammed in the head due to the suction, not the head itself. Battery life easily hit 40 minutes for me as I was doing mostly hard floors. Possibly with more carpeting the battery life may be shorter as it puts more strain on the cleaning head. The additional tools supplied are great for cleaning in deep crevices of a sofa for instance. As a whole I think the V8 Animal is wonderful, but the price does give me pause. I know Dyson is generally spendy and I do believe you get what you pay for in this case. If you want a solid cordless vacuum that will last then the Dyson is pretty much the standard.

So easy and convienient to use. The kids actually enjoy “sweeping” the kitchen floor now.

Absolutely love this vacuum. So much easier to use, just charge it and go.

My Daughter-in-law loves it. She can complete her whole home.

I continue to constantly have issues with the vacuum loosing suction because it’s clogged. I’ve cleaned the entire vacuum and even used compressed air to blow out the dust from inside the unit. I have three filters because after a while they don’t seem to fit right. However, dysons’s customer service is outstanding and tried to help me resolve the issue they even sent me an extra filter for free. I haven’t had any issues lately because I clean it once a week.

Awesome, got it for a friend and she loves it! Go big!

My daughter loves this for her townhome at college.

We have two Dyson vacuums in the house and I love them as they work great. Happy with the purchase.

This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Everything about it is AWESOME!
