    Impressive Suction & Great Battery Life

    The Dyson V8 Animal is a vey impressive cordless vacuum and another solid entry in the Dyson line. Most of my house is hard flooring so I wasn't able to gauge the quality of the supplied direct drive cleaner head on carpet. What I can say is that it cleaned my flooring in spectacular fashion. We have multiple dogs and cats and the rolling hairballs disappeared with minimal effort. It also sucked up multiple LEGO pieces with little fanfare. The nice thing about the canister system on the vacuum is that it is very easy to pick through the dirt to rescue small pieces that you didn't intend to suck up. My kids are thankful. The pivoting head also makes corners and tight spots easier to reach quickly. I did use the vacuum on several rugs throughout the house and they seem to do a great job of at least giving the appearance that they are cleaner. I didn't get down on my hands and knees and do a thorough inspection of the rug fibers, but it was certainly good enough for me. A word of caution about the suction on this model. It's intense. One of my lighter rugs got jammed in the head due to the suction, not the head itself. Battery life easily hit 40 minutes for me as I was doing mostly hard floors. Possibly with more carpeting the battery life may be shorter as it puts more strain on the cleaning head. The additional tools supplied are great for cleaning in deep crevices of a sofa for instance. As a whole I think the V8 Animal is wonderful, but the price does give me pause. I know Dyson is generally spendy and I do believe you get what you pay for in this case. If you want a solid cordless vacuum that will last then the Dyson is pretty much the standard.

    Like the idea, it serves our purpose. However be aware of short comings prior to purchase. Does not stand on its own. The charge does not last long for the amount of time to charge. We use in RV, and does not pick up all items that are on the floor. Does not clean door mats well. Can’t vacuum when charging.

      Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. I can confirm that your cord-free Dyson will not stand on its own. The cleaner heads and wand do not have a feature to lock into position. However, the machine can be easily stored on the included mountable wall dock. It would be unusual to hear that you've found your machine to lack suction or have poor pick-up performance. Your V8 comes with two suction modes; regular and MAX. MAX suction mode provides an added boost of power for larger debris or more stubborn messes. This is great when you're finding a cleaning job more tough to pick up - putting the machine in MAX provides a boost of suction, but does only give you about 7 minutes of run time. Regular suction mode will give you 30-40 minutes, depending on if you're using a motorized attachment.

      We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.
       
      Best wishes,
      Kelly
