Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Where to start, this is a BAD vacuum. Suction is so terrible, I kept passing over SAME strands of hair and dust collections again and again, turns out if you add ANYTHING to the vacuum any extension tube it comes with or its accessories the suction is GONE. I test and feel with my hand, quite good suction without anything attached, put just a brush and suction drops to nothing. Maneuverability is terrible, back and forth only. Every extension is stiff no joints does not permit movement. Corners and edges and this vacuum neither has power nor shape to clean there. MAX power overheats and the battery life on MAX is 3 minutes, no joke, in just 3 minutes only cleaned under the desk and from full battery went depleted. After depleting, I placed vac in the charger and already had 2 LEDs like it charged some instantly meaning the battery already having cell memory effect. Filter is cleaned and dust bin is empty after each use. Nothing to excuse it here, this is just a terrible vacuum.

Cest mon deuxième aspirateur Dyson sans fil. Jen suis toujours satisfaite. Le vieil appareil sert pour mon sous-sol et fonctionne toujours aussi bien. La batterie est toujours aussi efficace et puissante. Cela fait plus de cinq ans que je lai acheté. Ce nouvel appareil est un peu plus moderne, mais toujours aussi efficace et un peu moins bruyant. Toutefois, jai très peu de tapis, mais le peu que jai est toujours bien nettoyé avec un pouvoir de succion pratiquement aussi bonne que ma balayeuse centrale. Cest un peu cher, mais je recommande quand même le produit.

I love that it is light weight and works wonderful on picking up dirt and the suction on cleaning the carpets!

This vac. has so much more power than our 2 older Dyson models.....well worth the money.

The item I bought was $$$280-ish and then as I’m returning it I see on Amazon I paid almost 400 it’s going back.

Having to hold the trigger button down to keep the power running is the only thing I would ask to be different. Lightweight, Great suction, great battery life, super easy to use and clean! Easy to empty and long hairs don’t get tangled in the special beaters. Thay thought of everything including attachments and how easy they are to attach. Topping it off with a wonder wall hanging charging station!!

The product will not charge up and will only run for about ten minutes. I have tried to return it but the process is too complicated and I am thoroughly disgusted with Amazons return policy. I need my money refunded. I buy a lot of products from Amazon and I am seriously thinking about ending my relationship and trying another outlet for my purchases Thank You!

This is the worst Dyson ever. I used it 3 times and it doesnt work any more. Amazon will not return. Do not buy!

No Dyson products anymore!

I picked up this Dyson V8 to replace my aging Shark vacuum that I do love, but they no longer make that model any more so I cant replace it with the same cleaner. Id shopped around looking at some other stick vacs but wasnt sure which one to go with, and Id always heard that Dysons were one of the best. So I was pretty excited to give this one a try. Its said to have about 40 minutes of runtime, depending on the setting being used. I cant say Ive had it last quite that long for me. Fortunately, I dont often need that much time with this, since Im using it just on the main level of my home which is all hardwood floors and a few rugs. I could vacuum my whole home in 40 minutes and Im pretty certain I couldnt get enough runtime with this to clean my whole home. Im wondering if the 40 minutes of time would be if it was fully charged and just turned on, not actually using it where it gets resistance on the floor from debris and such? Not to say the battery has a super short lifespan. Just that I think Ive been getting a bit less than that. The suction power is outstanding. I have several large dogs and its springtime, so they are shedding everywhere right now. I have to vacuum my main level every other day or else theres so much fur you could make rugs out of it all. This cleaner does a great job of getting all the hair, dirt, crumbs and such that are all around the floors. It also pulls up the hair from the rugs at the front and back door quite well, and my carpeted stairway. It stores and charges nicely with the included mounting kit. However if you dont want to set up or install the wall mount you can plug the charging cable directly into the cleaner. I think Dyson may have recently changed up their V8 design, because Im seeing a lot of information online from previous years where people mention two brush heads. One being a hard floor attachment and one for carpeting, both large full size vacuum heads. That is not what they come with now. The V8 I received comes with 1 full size cleaning head called a Motorbar. It looks to be a two in one design, so you dont need to switch out between the two heads any more. And then there are several smaller cleaning head attachments as well. The hair tool is a good size for cleaning stairs. Thats what Ive been using to clean up the dog hair on mine and it picks up quite well. Overall Im really happy with the V8. It has a ton of power for a stick vacuum cleaner. They claim its quiet, and I agree its much less noisy than the vast majority of cleaners Ive used. And what I appreciate the most about it is that its just as powerful at cleaning stairs with a small attachment connected as it is when its cleaning the floors with the main cleaning head. It seems every vacuum I use, it is lacking in this area. I usually struggle to get my stairs clean. But the V8 does it all. Love it!
