Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

This vacuum cleaner is lightweight and has great power. It is easy to clean after using.

Have hanging in my pantry! Easy to grab and use

This arrives in a large box that somehow is also surprisingly small. I think that gives an early indication of the small but mighty quality of this vacuum. When you take this out, you will see that it has a small charge. Resist the urge to use this, and, instead, plug it in. Now, its going to take some time to charge. Therefore, be patient. While this is supposed to be wall mounted, we could not do that since we do not have a closet with an outlet and we didnt want to leave this visible on a wall. (And, perhaps, more importantly, we didnt want to have to spackle and paint when we moved on from this appliance). Therefore, we just charge this in the spare bedroom and then tuck it in a closet when done. And, it does need to be noted that this cannot take the place of your corded vacuum. Even with a full charge, the battery life is very short: maybe twenty to thirty minutes. (And, charger is not fast). When you pick this up, it is so easy to bump the activation button. In fact, Im not certain I have ever picked this up and NOT turned it on by accident. Maybe the button needs a cover or to be placed in a different area? And, just as a note, you must squeeze the on button for this to work. You cannot turn it on and it stays on. You must always hold the trigger down. I think thats a pretty serious hint that this isnt meant to clean you entire home in one session. So, why the five stars? Because this works like nothing else. We have two Roombas on each floor. They run every other day and everything seems very clean. But when I slowly ran this over the areas rugs, I was stunned at not only the hair, but the debris. I mean ... stunned! When I was done with all of the area rugs, I had dumped the bin three times. My better-half was as surprised as I. And, of course, he ended up vacuuming all of the cars ... and even took it to my dads house (because hes on the same Roomba program as we are) and doing all of my dads rugs! Hes wild about this thing! Its his new toy. The power and effectiveness is positively incomparable! We have been using this for about a month. Our opinion has not changed. This is a truly amazing device that allows for next-level cleaning (and if your children have allergies or asthma, you know how important a deep clean is). Weighing everything, I can only very highly recommend this. Another way to keep your home super tidy! Wow!

Best vacuum I have ever used hard pill to swallow for the how expensive they are but you forget that as soon as you use it

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

I was skeptical if the air power could actually turn the agitator. It does and on hardwoods and deep shags. So nice! For the money, I was hoping it would be good and it does not disappoint.

I tried using a Dyson years ago when they came out. Great cordless vacuum, but you MUST hold down the on button for it to work, nor will it stay upright alone. Honestly, after all these years it has not changed much. I have carpel tunnel so having to hold an on button on gets painful after a few minutes. Not sure why it does not stand alone either, basic vacuums that cost less have this convenient feature. The positives: suction is fantastic and there are 2 settings. The vacuum does not make a lot of noise and is nice looking. It is lightweight and hangs on the wall, remember it does not stand by itself. The holding tank is a decent size too and cleaning it is simple enough. Unfortunately, because of my hands this is not the right vacuum for me. Did I mention the suction is the BEST?? Dyson needs to upgrade the simple things on this vacuum.

I was so happy to get this vacuum!!! I’ve had a 500 pound Kirby my whole life that my kids always make fun of… I never knew what I was missing until I got this Dyson. Wow! I’m in love. This is so easy to use… and I can visually SEE the vacuum pulling the dirt out of my rug. Not to mention how easy it is to change it into a hand held vacuum and do my stairs! I’m simply amazed. I can maneuver this thing under my cabinets super easy too! It charges easily and stays charged a long time! I’m so happy with it. I put my old Kirby on the side of the curb. Lol Seriously…. Get one. It’s a life changer!

I got this Dyson v8 to replace my v6 animal and its a great upgrade. I can clean my upstairs and downstairs before the battery dies. It has much stronger suction power and extra filtration. The max mode still runs the battery down faster so I avoid using it unless needed. The dust bin slides out for easy emptying, the vacuum is very lightweight and it can easily clean under tight spaces. Another great vacuum cleaner by Dyson.

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.
