Customers are saying
Customers are impressed with the product's powerful suction, ease of use, and lightweight, cordless design, which contribute to its excellent overall performance. They also appreciate the various attachments. However, a common concern is the battery life, and some customers also mention the high price, noise level, small dustbin, and less-than-ideal performance on carpets.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Handles hard wood and surfaces great. Perfect for getting the car done in a pinch. Minus one star for having to hold the trigger the whole time.
I would recommend this to a friendLow power
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not enough suction. With the Dyson name and advertising which claims that this is a superior device, I had high expectations. What I actually got was something less, primarily less "vacuum" or suction which has proven to be inadequate for most household chores. It is now relegated to "dusting" tabletops and small chores such as picking up crumbs from the floor. I do hope that other buyers are more satisfied than I am. I now consider my purchase to be a foolish buy rather than a best buy.

Posted .Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've had a disappointing experience with your V8 Animal. It's unusual to hear that you're lacking suction. Your vacuum, while smaller, lightweight and cordless, can still pack the same power as a corded vacuum cleaner. This will all be thanks to the powerful V8 motor which spins at 110,000rpm, providing you with powerful suction, making our cordless machines the most powerful cordless vacuums. Dyson V8 Animal also includes a direct drive motorized brush bar, which is designed to provide up to 150% more brush bar power than the Dyson V8 cord free vacuum.
Loss of suction can be generally attributed to a dirty filter or blockage some place within the machine. We have found that most issues that may arise can be resolved with simple yet effective troubleshooting steps you can take at home. Dyson does back your new machine from an authorized retailer with a free 2-year guarantee. We would value the opportunity to assist you, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

One Vacuum Tops All.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a dog and I had purchased two small vacuums but the third, Dyson-V8, this one tops all. Long pipe and force full motor does the job quickly and efficiently.
