Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have two Dyson vacuums; one conventional upright and this one. This one is by far my favorite. So many different uses and flexible to any situation. I highly recommend.

Great for every day vacuuming. The battery life is not great, but it gets the job done and does great with our dog's hair. Much better than other ones of a similar size.

I have been using this vacuum for over 3 years now and it still works great. It doesn't need a lot of space to store and it is light to move it around.

I have to admit it has been sometime since I've tried a new hand-held vacuum. The last one our family had (and we've still continued to use) was a 10-year-old Dirt Devil. It was past time for an upgrade. And the Dyson V8 Animal Cord-Free Vacuum is certainly an upgrade! Of course, it is not just a hand-held, although it can be used in that configuration. It is envisioned mostly as a stick-vac. It shines in both uses, although it may be a little heavy for use as a hand-held if that were your only use for it. It has already won over both my wife and myself. It does a great job sucking up pet hair. We have two dogs who love nothing more than to shed. The Dyson V8 does wonderful job cleaning up after them. It is particularly excellent as a dust mop on hardwood floors. Although it may be on the heavy side for a hand-vac at just over 5 pounds, it is still very light as a stick-vac. The fact is cord-free make it very portable and easy to use. The suction power is impressive for such a little vacuum. Suggestions for improvement are few, but here they are: 1. Include a swappable battery, so you can keep two fully charged. In our experience, the battery lasts about 45 mins. When it dies, it dies suddenly. It'd be nice to be able to swap in another battery rather than plug it back up and wait. 2. Make the primary beater tool thinner top to bottom. That would make it easier to use under furniture and such. Our old hand-held had a much thinner (but also far less effective) attachment that fit under the furniture better. All-in-all, though, the Dyson V8 Animal is a clear winner. We use it daily.

This is a second person review. I gave this as a gift to someone who keeps house like a museum. They rave about it so I am passing that along.

Loving the V8 Animal. It works wonders if you have a dog that sheds. It just sucks it all up. Works on all types of floors.

This vacuum cleans well but doesn’t stay charged too long, not even 15mins if you use it on the high mode.

Love the Dydson Stick Vacuum....great to use instead of pulling out the vacuum....gets into small tight spots easily.

Best vacuum ever, battery is kinda poor. It comes with a lot of Accesories which makes it perfect for all needs.

I have 2 in my home now one on my yacht. They take up very little space, are always ready to work, and do a great job on hard wood and carpet.

Love the product good suction very convenient but battery doesn’t last long at all upgraded to the next one

Amazing vacuum cleaner. It’s so lightweight and compact but cleans like a full size vacuum. I love all of the attachments it comes with.

I initially went in to grab a vacuum with a cord. Given information on this Dyson, and picked up this box instead. I love how compact it is, easy to use, and works really well.

I love this vacuum. Great for doing steps and under furniture. The only problem is the battery. I have to do half of my house then let it charge before I can finish

Leaving without my Dyson was a nightmare. When it finally came when mine died I was ecstatic

I very much like dyson vacc cleaner I bought at Best Buy in Greenville nc Service was good too

I agree that the product is costly but it’s unbeatable in getting after the dirt and pet hair. Easy to use and switching attachments is a breeze. Every pet owner should have one.

The Dyson cordless vacuum is a great product. The battery last well long enough to do my 1600sf of floor. It is also powerful enough to do rugs and carpeted stairs.

Works great! I bought this for my daughter to help with cleaning up the kitty hair. She loves it!!

My V-6 was damaged so I upgraded to the V-8. The difference is amazing. The cleaning power is so much better, l plan on upgrading to a v-11 soon
