you get what you pay for. overall good vacuum and great entry into dyson

We have had this vacuum forever and we liked it so much we bought it for our parents!

Great at picking up dog hair, battery life is fine for our not large home, only thing would be to include a catch to hold the trigger so you don't have to hold it down the whole time.

Meets my expectations on hardwood and carpet. We have no animals but it does a nice job getting to the household dust/dirt.

Barely a month in and the vacuum is already failing on us. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t work at all. Best Buy isn’t helping so I have try to resolve it with dyson directly.

Worth the money over any other vacuum. You get what you pay for and this is worth it

This is quite simply one of the best most portable vacuums I've ever tried, period. Having owned a number of vacuums, from the canister style, to the uprights, and to the bag-less uprights I have to say this beats them all for a good number of reasons. 1. Probably most important, this vacuum though it's small and light has a surprisingly strong amount of suction which can be controlled to either a high or low setting based on what's appropriate for the floor you're cleaning. 2. Just about as important as the first point, both the small and large heads are motorized - a huge improvement over others similar to this one. 3. It's battery life so far seems perfect for cleaning 4-5 average size rooms, and a couple hallways with either hard wood or carpet floors. In fact, I've not yet run it completely dead with cleaning 3 bedrooms, a hallway, stairs, a hardwood floor dining room and hallway with rugs. Granted, I wasn't running it on the "high" setting the whole time (only on the heavy carpets in the 3 rooms) so your mileage may vary based on how you use it. 4. It's light, in fact surprisingly light considering the power and battery life it has which makes it perfect for quick daily touch up cleaning so you really don't ever need to dig out the good ole canister vac ever again except for the occasional deep cleans. 5. The convenient wall mount is perfect so it's always ready to go when you need it and keeps it neatly organized put away. 6. The canister is SO easy to clean and doesn't make a mess. Simply pull the lever while over a waste bin and it's emptied. Then close it and close the bottom. The only thing that I've had issues with is vacuuming lightweight rugs where it'll just hold on to it... but you'd have the same problem with any other good vacuum that has good suction so not really a bad thing! While it feels built well and out of good materials, I do worry about long term durability considering it's made of lightweight plastic and aluminum. So, I'd say it would very likely not hold up to well against falls on a hard floor like tile or wood and I'm not sure how well it'd hold up around the kids if they were to get a hold of it. On that note, and outside of that, this is a fantastic machine and I'd recommend it to anyone that's in the market for a new vacuum and wants something that makes it easy to stay on top of keeping all of your floors clean.

Highly recommend this product works great on carpet and laminate floors.

I have 2 cats and thia vacuum does an excellent job on my thick carpet.

There is nothing better then a good quality Dyson Vacuum! The V8 is a perfect mid tier cordless vacuum.

Place speed on low so you can get the longer usage time. It’s our second one and planning to buy another one for mom.

We upgraded from an older model that we really liked. But, this one is so much smoother and better at cleaning carpet in particular.

Powerful product. Vacuum cleans hardwood floors better / more efficiently than a broom

It always cannot charge and I do not know why I think maybe this one was designed problem

Excellent choice for the family. Not near the weight of the original we bought.

Upgraded from the Dyson V6 and there's a lot of improvement to the features on this vacuum. The extra battery life is great too!!

I’ve always had Kenmore canister vacs but was intrigued by the light weight and the separate handheld for couch and stairs. I have a dog and I like the beater handheld brush.. But In order to work correctly I had it on high speed and the battery runs out after 8 mins or so. I’m going to keep it as I bought it on sale.. but wouldn’t recommend this

Works quite well for those hard to reach places and spot cleaning. Gets fur from our long haired cat quite well.

this product lives up to it’s worth. Dyson for the win again! This works perfectly for the house or the car. Well worth the money.

Works very well never using broom. Can use on multiple types of floor.
