Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Just what I needed for short jobs. It comes with a convenient hanger to put it up on the wall & the charger threads through that. It came with a 2 yr. warranty and was easy to register. The quick start guide was great and within a couple of minutes I was using it. It doesnt hold a charge for too long, maybe 10 minutes, but thats enough vacuuming for me. I use a robot vacuum to do most areas but it doesnt do corners or around furniture legs so the combo is working for me.

We already owned a Dyson cordless vacuum but decided to get a second one so that we would have one upstairs and one downstairs. We really liked our original Dyson and it always worked very well so we decided to go with another Dyson. This time around we decided to get a slightly more powerful one so we selected this Dyson. After using it for a while, we are extremely happy with it. Its even more powerful than our original Dyson and does a better job at cleaning. We like it so much that we are considering replacing our original Dyson with another one of these models. Besides the additional cleaning power, it also has a bigger and easier to empty bin. The vacuum comes with several useful accessories including a small and large powerhead. We use the larger one to clean floors and the smaller one to clean upholstery. If I had any complaints, it is that I wish it would run longer on the battery. I rarely run out of battery but when doing bigger jobs I sometimes do, With two Dysons though if I do run out of battery, I just use my second one. The other thing I like about this Dyson is the wall hanging bracket it comes with. I installed it in a closer that has an outlet. It makes storing and charging the unit convenient. The one thing I would recommend though is not using the wall anchors that come with the unit. When removing the vacuum from the wall bracket, it tugs and pulls from the wall. After repeated removals, the included anchors will just start coming out of the wall. To fix this, I replaced with butterfly wall anchors and they work perfectly. Overall we lover this vacuum and would definitely recommend.

This vacuum is a dream come true. Ive gone through so many brands and none have even come close to the suction power this vacuum has. Its easy to maneuver, included a bunch of great attachments, and its easy to store without taking up too much space. Plus its purple - my favorite color! The battery life is actually a lot better than i expected considering the immense power this vacuum uses when operating. When we bought our home the previous owners had flooring done that left some gaps between the planks in odd areas of the home. Little bits of dirt and yuck would get between the flooring and no matter what we tried, we just couldnt get the dirt out. We literally put the head of the vacuum over the gap, and bam -- all the dirt was gone in a second!!! The suction power is enough to make me give 10 stars to this Dyson if I could. Absolutely amazing and a real headache saver.

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!

The thought of having to get out a bulky vacuum and move it from plug to plug and fighting cord the whole time …. No more - i love this vacuum - felt like I was deep cleaning the first week- Carpet looks great!

I have a few stick vacs in different areas of the house and this is replacing one of them. It runs about ten minutes on high, which I expected, because all of mine run about that long on high. It doesnt charge as quickly as another that I have, it takes over an hour and a half to fully charge. There is a charging indicator of lights on the side of the handle that shows how far from fully charged it is. Charging is easy just plug into the back of the handle. I do wish it charged more quickly. What I like about this one compared to my others is that the beater brush attachment to vacuum rugs/floor is FAR superior to any that I own. It really picks stuff up! The attachments go on and off easily with the press of a button. This is actually much easier than any of my others. While they all have a button to push, this one I can do with one finger, very easily, to release the attachment. This one is very easy to dump the canister and clean both filters. Very easy. Im on the fence about the trigger. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I dont. To operate this you have to constantly press the trigger. I like it because to stop it if I have to move furniture I just take my finger off the trigger and it stops. Other times I dislike it because, not to be a wimp, but sometimes my finger gets fatigued from pressing it for ten minutes. I know, I know. Maybe theres a way to not have to press the trigger constantly, but I wouldnt know because mine didnt come with any instructions. The suction power is excellent! It also comes with a wall hanger to hold the stick vac and attachments. If it gets clogged it would be extremely easy to dislodge the clog because you can easily access all the parts of the vacuum/hose.

The vacuum doesn’t stay on, the button has to be pressed the whole time while vacuuming the floor

So happy I purchased this product. I’ve only had it about a month so I hope it stands the test of time and use! Love it so far!

I absolutely love this vacuum!! I have LVP in most of my house and I have a doggie that sheds her coat on a daily basis. I was going through boxes of swiffer dusting cloths, trying to maintain and get up the dust bunnies and fur. Then I got the Dyson vacuum cleaner and I am able to get the dust and fur thats created up on a regular basis. So much easier to clean my house now with the Dyson I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone that has hardwood floors or LVP in the home to help maintain it and get up the dirt dust and dust bunnies.

Nothing about it not to like!!!!
