Dyson Quick-Release Motorhead Cleaner for Dyson V8 Vacuums

The one that came with the vacuum eventually broke, probably from some mis-use (vacuuming entry pads, etc), so I needed a replacement. The original worked extremely well until I broke it, now this one works extremely well. I put a low rating on cleaning up hair cause hair gets caught in the roller and is a pain to get out. I have a separate pet hair attachment that I use for hair

We are very pleased with the new Shark vacuum head. I love this machine and didnt want to have to replace it. We got eight years out of the old head and the vaccum still works great.

Works like new, as youd expect. -1 star because theyre selling a $30 motor for ~$100.

Our original Motörhead broke. I bought this to replace it because we love the vacuum. It was brand new out of the package and didn’t work. It turned on for about 5 seconds and then stopped. The seller is going to refund me. I called and they transferred me directly to Dyson. Dyson customer service was awesome and turns out the vacuum was under the 2 year warranty. Dyson is sending me a replacement for free! Call them first before buying this item.

We have a Dyson v8 absolute. Unfortunately, our original vacuum head broke (simply due to age and lots of dog hair). Absolutely loved the original so I bought a replacement. For some reason, the wheel on the corner of the vacuum will not slide easily and gets stuck sliding across our hardwoods. Ive been trying to just work through it and lift the vacuum but it is very frustrating. Really loved our first one but this must be a manufacturer problem. I probably wont buy a replacement at this point will be using a different vacuum we own.

The product works fine. I went with a vendor, not Dyson due to the cost savings but they took almost 30 days to get me the item. They did refund me $5.00 for the trouble but choose your vendor wisely.

This has very weak suction on hardwood or tile floors. It does well on carpet.

Bought the V8 Fluffy and realized immediately it wouldnt work well on carpet/rugs. Had to call Dyson to verify this model would work with the Fluffy, the model numbers were not a perfect match but I took a chance and bought this motorhead. Now the Fluffy is perfect for carpets/rugs and hardwoods. Total cost for the V8 Fluffy plus this carpet motorhead was $500, which was definitely more than I wanted to spend, but now I have the total solution.

I bought this because my V7 motorhead brushes were falling apart and didnt want to go through that all over again. The brushes on this are much more robust, and this one is much better at pulling cat hair off the carpets! Yes, the V8 motor head works on the V7 vacuum. This one works best on carpet, and is just okay on hard floors. We use the soft motor head for hard floors.

My old Dyson had a squeegee part on it vs the plastic part on this one which I feel tends to scratch my hardwood floors more. So not crazy about the change. It does ok on suction but gotta say it isn’t as great as I had hoped on the dog hair. I was hoping it would do better when I got a new Dyson Battery and motor head but no dice.
