Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

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

The V8 is another excellent cordless vacuum by Dyson. I had it going within a few minutes of unboxing it and immediately went to task on cleaning up the living room and guest room. I was able to vacuum every nook and cranny with the V8 before the battery died, however I noticed that I would need to recharge it to complete the entire house (actually had to do this a few days later, we have a 5 bedroom home on two stories with a sunroom so I needed two charge cycles to complete it all). Other than the battery capacity I have no criticisms, its an absolute pleasure to vacuum with.

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.

I just got my Dyson V8 in the mail the other day. My son ended up putting it together and he actually vacuumed and cleaned his whole room last night. Thats worth the price right there. (Ha Ha) And he is a teenager. Thats a Win/Win. He loved that the vacuum didnt have a chord and it was easy to carry around. We didnt have to lug our big bulky vaccum out of the closet. I am in love with this vacuum. I am actually excited to clean my house now. Thank you Dyson for such a light weight and compact vacuum that does a better job than other vacuums I have had in the past.

Works great!!! Can get a little heavy after long usage but works like a million dollar machine!

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.

Battery dies after 10 minutes. Useless! Would not return since I was out of town for a month and missed the return period by 6 days. So disappointed in this company. Beware!

La aspiradora es lo mejor, funcional 100% aspira el pelo de mis mascotas perfectamente, buenísimo, el único detalle es que el modo maximo solo dura como 15 minutos, pero fuera de eso la mejor compra del mundo.

So easy to use.

I was surprised about how small this is. Its very thin, but Im amazed and how good the suction is. It leaves vacuum tracks!! I love vacuum tracks. Its very easy to push around. The main vacuum head has a ball joint where it connects, so its super easy to turn and move around. This kind of tripped me up because it doesnt feel like it should be dragging along the floor, but if its not against the floor, it doesnt really suction. It just looks a little weird because of the join proportions between the two parts, but it still works good. Its decently easy to put together, but it has A LOT of parts/accessories. Also, the instructions are really poor. Theres no words, so it would have been nice to have a little bit more detail, but I did figure it out. When the instructions say click it really does click. The parts snap together super easily, and theyre easy to take apart. One unfortunate thing is that it cannot stand up on its own. In order for it to stand up, the instructions say to install the wall holder, which requires drilling holes into the wall (which I cannot do in an apartment, so kind of stinky). I end up just laying it against a corner, which works, but its kind of annoying. It would have been nice if it could stand on its own. Overall, its a pretty nice vacuum. Its very small, but its still incredibly powerful. Very easy to move around. I recommend!!
