    Wasn’t trying to buy a $300 vacuum, but I figured I could give it a try and return if it wasn’t for me. I kept the Dyson! It is great for everyday use in the kitchen and my sons room. Lightweight and great accessories to help clean the couch or the lent trap in the dryer. Very pleased with this purchase.

    The worst of all Dysons

    Very disappointed in this vacuum, especially for a Dyson. I have mostly hardwood floors and a few large area rugs that are basic in terms of material and cleaning/maintaining. Vacuuming the hardwood floors, the suction is so bad it takes three times going over to get the simplest amount of crumbs. Using the wand part of the vacuum is the worst of all. The air coming out of the motor is so strong it blows everything before the lack of suction from arm has any chance to suck it up. I wanted to see if it was really getting anything up from the rugs so I used my old 25 year old eureka vacuum over the same rug I just used twice with the Dyson v8 and saw the eureka not only sucked up everything the Dyson missed but had MORE crap in the dust tank. Dyson was better before opening plants in Singapore and china in 2002. Don’t waste your money

    Comparing this to my V6, it is quieter and more powerful. The new system of emptying the bin is handy also. I haven't had it long, but the charge is lasting as long as I need, around half an hour to do my vacuuming.

    I purchased this Dyson months ago and so far did not have any issue, great for cleaning the house while playing Bachata, couches, kitchen and places without dust flying all over the place, the only reason is 4 stars for me is the time you can use before you need to charge it really does not make sense however still a good Vacuum and definitely recommend it while cleaning the house.

    Happy with this purchase. It does what’s needed to be done. Portable, good vacuum and hope that it lasts a long time. First Dyson vacuum that I bought. It was on sale so the price is not that bad since it’s from a reputable company. Will recommend!

    This makes dog hair and dirt/sand a thing of the past. Yes, MAX power drains the battery, but that’s to be expected and is only really necessary on carpet. Would highly recommend for quick cleanups, especially with pets!

    I’m really impressed with the overall function of the vacuum. If you are looking to vacuum every room in your house in one shot this might not be the product for you. The battery on high only last about 10 minutes but the low setting will last about 40.

    We adore this vacuum. Not only does it clean better than any vacuum we've ever had, but it beats them all in convenience too. It's a great feeling to see some crumbs, grab the vacuum, and have it cleaned up in less than a minute, no cords or hassle involved.

    I purchased this for use at a small business for quick crumb cleanups from customers. It works great for that. We don't use it for more than a few minutes at a time so I can't speak to the battery life. We purchased this on sale, although I can't remember the exact price.

    Best vacuum at this price point. Was on sale for 300. So at that price is the perfect vac for our tile and laminate floors. Worth the investment for something I expect to use for years.

    It is the best stick vacuum I've ever used, great suction and incredible use. the downside is the battery is not user replaceable in a way that is easy. otherwise good product, The carpet attachment does have a tendency to get stuck from time to time.

      Hi Dionyus, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're so happy to hear that you've been so pleased, overall, with the V8 Animal and have found it so easy to use. Dyson V8 Animal cordless is a hassle-free vacuum with powerful suction. The powerful direct-drive cleanerhead removes ground-in dirt and pet hair from carpets, and self-adjusts to pick up dirt and debris from your bare floors.
       
      Dyson V8 Animal also features two suction modes; MAX and standard. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. MAX power is really only needed for tough cleaning jobs. We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I bought this my wife and she saw it and said this is small and won’t work. Well now she loves it. It’s light weight, no cords and works very good. She has been trying to get her coworker to get one. Told her it’s light weight and works awesome.

    The suction power, ease of handling and emptying is great. But even with specific attachments, the unit head tends to roll over things like upholstery, bedspeads, pillows. I think this is probably due to its light-weighted-ness. It works well on hard surfaces, such as linoleum, carpets, hardwoods...things with a firm surface.

      Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson V8 Animal. I am pleased to hear you are satisfied with the ease of use and suction power. It may help to use the machine in MAX mode for debris that standard mode is not picking up.

      We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact us at [email protected] with a description of the issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.

    Great vacuum overall, but it does have a very short run time (especially if you use it on the higher setting, which I often need to use on my carpeted area). It works best on my wood and tile floors though! It does charge fairly quickly,

    We just added this to our vacuum collection, we have had the Dyson Dc07 for years now and after replacing a few things decided to venture into a newer model. This thing sucks! And I mean that I. The best possible way. Vacummed with the old one first and then this one. Still filled half the container.

    It works very well on wood floor, couch and stairs. It's very light and quiet. The dust bin is easy to clean. Vacuuming gets easier. However, because it's too light, it needs extra efforts to push and pull on the rug. The battery doesn't last long. One charge couldn't get my full house done. Mine is 3 bedrooms.

      Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for your review on the Dyson V8 Animal Cordless vacuum. I'm happy to hear how light weight and easy-to-use you find this vacuum to be, in your use.

      The Dyson V8 Animal features a direct-drive cleanerhead, with gentle carbon fiber bristles safe for any flooring type, but powerful enough to pick up debris from both bare floors and carpets. While the machine will offer less run time in MAX power mode, most households find standard power sufficient for everyday messes. When using your machine in MAX with the direct-drive Motorhead, run time will be approximately 7 minutes. Dyson Animal variants come equipped with a mini motorized head which is designed to pick up pet hair from furniture and stairs. You can also use this tool with the machine in MAX power for optimum pick-up, if you find that standard power is leaving pet hair behind.

      We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected]. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly
