I love this Vacuum so much
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Vacuum is a decent price and has amazing performance. It’s light, nimble, and while is a bit plasticky and wiggles a little with attachments feels so good to use daily. The turbo mode only lasts like 10 minutes but boy does it have power! The Handheld mode is where it shines. It’s so ergonomically fit for your hand, and you don’t get too tired using it. I won’t lie I returned it from BestBuy and bought the same model directly from Dyson because they included a hardwood floor attatchment as well as the regular one for free and it’s like $60 so it was worth it. The handheld fabric vacuum roller is absolutely clutch even without pets but with pets it’s a lifesaver. Absolutely recommend!

Got all the dog hair up
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE this vacuum. Its super lightweight. I bought because i have a corgi that sheds heavily. This vacuum was able to easily get up all the hair from my wood floors, tile floors, and carpet. Also used the detachable function to vacuum dog hair from couch cushions. Worked great. Battery also lasts long

Love this vacuum but...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this vacuum. Buying this after a corded vacuum is so easy. With 3 pets & 3 kids, its easy to pull it out and clean an area (hardwood & carpet) quickly and put it away again. Its super lightweight & sleek. I didnt loveeeeee the price tag but its convenience makes it worth it. However what the heck is up with the battery life?! It says it lasts 45 minutes but i dont believe it...

Great option for pet owners!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We LOVE our Dyson V8 Cordless! Works effortlessly on both carpets and ceramic tile floors. Easily picks up dust, crumbs, and hair from our dark-coated GSD. If you have a large area, you'll empty the dust cup a few times during use, but it only takes a few seconds. The included attachments and wall-mount docking station give you everything you'll need in a single box! The "MAX Suction" setting is fantastic for deeply-embedded dirt in carpet fibers, but even the standard setting is more powerful than most vacuums on the market - we rarely use the MAX setting and still get a fantastic clean!

LOVE IT!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm REALLY HAPPY with this vacuum!! I bought this to replace our Dyson Ball vacuum that finally died after over 10 years of service. I find myself vacuuming more because of the convenience of just picking it up and turning it on. No more cord to unroll, search for an outlet, then re-roll. It's plenty powerful enough, especially on Max, and the battery life is more than satisfactory. It's super maneuverable and easily reaches under most of our furniture. It's lightweight, and the attachments click on and off effortlessly. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that hair doesn't accumulate on the brushes. And, there's a LOT of hair in my house between me, a Sheltie, one long-haired cat, and one medium-haired cat. And, I REALLY like the way it empties so completely. With the old Ball vacuum, I often had to fish hair out from around the filter, but not with this one! I just wish the charging station had a place for storing more attachments than just the crevice and brush tools. But, I definitely recommend this product.

Much improved model
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over the years, owned several vacuums, including a few cordless. This is by far the best stick vacuum in the house. Compared to our older Dyson DC56, it's slightly bigger, slightly heavier and a lot more powerful while being quieter. It's really a big difference compared to the older model. It's actually impressive, the suction is higher than on many corded vacuums. The vacuum is very modular and anything that's involved with dirt can be cleaned. The whole dustbin assembly can be removed from the vacuum. It has two operation modes: A standard and full. The full suction mode feels a lot more powerful and likely overkill for most uses. Dyson claims it has up to 40 minutes battery. I could not test this but cleaned different rooms and battery indicated 2 out of 3 bars. The 'Animal' model comes with the handheld vacuum, a 'dock', power adapter, the extension rod, a direct drive floor cleaner (it has its own motor), a mini motorized tool (Great for car seats and sofas), a combination brush, crevice extension (fixed length) and a soft dusting brush (Good to clean appliances because the bristles are very soft). The step-up model from this is the 'Absolute'. Besides colors, the only difference I could find is that it has an additional soft roller head (the whole assembly with a soft roller for hard floors). The roller that comes is fine for both carpets and hard floors, and it's designed in a way that hair is not easily tangled. Lots of other vacuums we had would collect lots of hairs on the brush, making it messy to clean. The way the dustbin is cleaned lifts the stainless steel filter against a rubber ring, so it's cleaned on its own. On the older model we had sometimes we had to pick through the bin to remove hair. Not with this. Since this model has a thin stainless steel mesh as the primary filter, a lot less dust goes though the top of the vacuum. It also has a washable filter before the engine and a small HEPA filter before the exhaust. Because this filter is the last, I don't see the need to ever replace it. Way I didn't like is the design of the 'dock'. It's functional and should work well, but have to drill holes on the wall to hang it, and then run the power cable from it. I would much preferred to have the option of a pedestal, but it's not available for this model. It can also be powered by plugging it in directly to the power adapter, which is what we do. The other issue is that while it's overall very light and easy to use, because the engine is on the handle, it might get a bit heavy after a while, compared with upright vacuums or other stick vacuums where the engine Is near the bottom and thus more balanced. Like in other Dyson models, the battery is not easily replaceable. Also the top of the vacuum is spay-painted, and will likely scratch. Also, to keep in mind, if you have older Dyson models, the tools won't work on this because the clip is on the tool, not on the vacuum. I was looking for a flexible crevice tool and it's not available for this model.

Dyson - V8
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly perfect for what I need. Vacuums my house easy on one charge. That being said I do feel like it needs to be charged often. The accessories make up for it in my opinion, I’ve even vacuumed my car with this thing.

Happy with Dyson
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already have a cordless Dyson hand vacuum which I use ALL the time (I have cats) and have been totally happy with. But I wanted one that's floor length for other kinds of vacuuming. Being a small person I got the lighter model. It's been great. I know some people don't like the 40 minute battery time but that hasn't been a problem for me. It's so much easier to grab and use with little effort compared to my older, much heavier traditional type vacuum. And since I don't have to deal with a cord I go quicker. My only suggestion concerns the power button which you have to hold down while using it, which isn't a big deal but if they were a way to lock it in place that would be a good feature.

The Post-Divorce MVP
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never thought I’d be the kind of person to get emotional about a vacuum, but here we are. In the divorce, I lost custody of the Dyson cordless (among other things), and let me tell you, that was the real heartbreak. First purchase in my new place? This beauty. It’s lightweight, it’s sleek, and the suction power is so strong it picked up the crumbs of my past and the dust bunnies of my future. It even charges on the wall like it’s hanging out, ready for round two of “who’s really thriving now?” If you’re starting fresh, skip the rebound and go straight for this vacuum.

DYSON!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this! Took me about a week to actually decide to get it. But have not regretted it since! Very easy and light. I have a short haired bulldog that sheds like a dandelion, so hair everywhere IN EVERYTHING. It does a great job sucking up his hair. Also the no hair tangle feature, oh man i have long curly hair and have yet to have it get tangled- a freakin miracle!. I vacuum every day with this thing and love it. It doesn't work on area rugs but the little attachment will. I love this thing. Battery lifenis not longer, maybe 20 min on full power but on low power i can get almost 40. Can do two caprpeted smaller rooms and laminate on one charge. Some may get really irritated with battery life, but for me it works. And if you are doing other stuff you can charge and come back and finish up vacuuming.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This vacuum or ones alike i would recommend for small spaces due to it only giving 10mins worth of use before needing to recharge. It's lightweight. It picks up, but doesnt have the power of an upright

You won’t regret this purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughters first apartment has 3 different types of flooring: hard wood, ceramic tiles in the bathroom and carpet in the bedroom. AND she has a dog. This vacuum cleaner is perfect, she use to complain about having to sweep and dust everyday and many times her old vacuum would not do a good job getting the dog hair off her sofa. Now with the Dyson she can vacuum everyday with a breeze; it’s lightweight, the cordless feature allows her to go from room to room without having to worry if it will reach. The suction is that if a industrial vacuum; she has a black cloth sofa and it suck’s up everything that is on it. Well worth the money.

almost perfect!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this a 5 star rating IF it sucked up pet food and larger objects without having to lift the vacuum on top the larger objects. You can of course change the component to the slanted nozzle to pick up these things, but it sorta loses its magic when you have to stop and change the head to do that. You should be able to glide over food without extra work. That aside, It's been my favorite vacuum and it makes the chore fun. Super light, super powerful and the interchangeable heads are super handy and friendly to use. I would certainly buy a dyson again, but may try to find one that sucks up pet food/larger objects without having to lift the vacuum and place it right on top of the objects in order to pick them up. 4 1/2 stars.
