Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Trigger button was broke and would not turn off. Ridiculous problem.

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!

Love how light it is, and no cord

Sophisticated and versatile light-weight device. Powerful clean - a quality of life wonder : )

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 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.

Qctyalmente la bacteria solo dura aprox 40min Imposible limpiar con Ella!!

The vacuum itself is great. The suction stays strong the entire time. So I am happy there. However, I really do not like that I have to hold down the trigger the whole time I am vacuuming. That is annoying. Also, if you vacuum on anything other than the lowest setting, the vacuum only seems to last about 20 minutes. So if you have a big house, this might not be the best one for you.

I am happy to have an opportunity to try out this Dyson V8 vacuum, its my first time to use Dyson vacuum product. The best part I found was hair (both humans and pets) didnt stay on the brush/roller. The other vacuum I own doesnt have this feature and every time after I use vacuum, I need to remove it manually. The V8 vacuums suction power is as strong as corded vacuums, it collected all my cats hair. As its cordless, it is easy to maneuver. One thing I didnt like was I needed to press the trigger button all the time while Im vacuuming, that made my hand tired. I havent installed but Im planning to install the wall mount charging station near one of our outlets. Disposing the dust was very easy. Overall, I like the V8 vacuum so far. If I find anything notable later, I will update this review.

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!
