Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Ive always preferred canister vacuums, because the wand and hose are much easier to move and maneuver, but it can be a pretty big pain to drain around the canister. The Dyson V8 solves that, because its basically just the wand portion of my canister vacuum without a cord or bulky canister unit. Along with the vacuum, you get several accessories: a wall-mounted dock, a crevice tool, a brush tool, an upholstery tool, and the powered floor attachment. The dock has two slots to store the crevice and brush tools, but theres no obvious place to store the upholstery attachment. The wall dock has a cable channel and clip to hold the included charging cable, so that you can just slot the vacuum into the mount for storage and charging. Unfortunately though, the cable isnt easily removable after you attach the dock to your wall, because the cable channel is on the backside of the dock. If you decide not to use the dock, then you can still recharge the vacuum by just plugging in the charging cable. Theres a switch to toggle between normal and high power mode and a momentary trigger switch to turn on the vacuum. The trigger does need to be held down to keep powering the vacuum, but fortunately, it doesnt take much strength to depress the trigger button. The V8 does not have a trigger lock, but a quick search on Amazon shows that there are a lot of third party options to add a lock if you want it. The V8 battery is rated for 40 minutes at normal power, but that drops to 25-35 minutes if youre using the powered floor attachment. In our usage, we found those numbers to be pretty accurate. Thats just enough runtime to vacuum the hardwood floors in our 3-bedroom house. If you turn on the high power mode, the runtime drops to just a few minutes. Unfortunately, the recharge time is 5 hours. You can buy an extra battery, but you wont be able to charge it in the wall dock, so youll also have to get an extra charging cord. Swapping batteries on the V8 also requires a screwdriver to release the battery. The V8 is a really nice vacuum overall, but the limited battery life makes it best to use with smaller spaces or as a secondary vacuum for cleaning up messes.

Have hanging in my pantry! Easy to grab and use

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

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.

Love how light it is, and no cord

Having to hold the trigger button down to keep the power running is the only thing I would ask to be different. Lightweight, Great suction, great battery life, super easy to use and clean! Easy to empty and long hairs don’t get tangled in the special beaters. Thay thought of everything including attachments and how easy they are to attach. Topping it off with a wonder wall hanging charging station!!

This vac. has so much more power than our 2 older Dyson models.....well worth the money.

I purchased this product a second time for my grandmother so she can have an easier time tidying up around her house. Its safe to say that she was thoroughly impressed and loved taking it for a spin once I helped set everything up for her.

I love how well my Dyson cleans up. I just leave it charging and it’s ready to use anytime. So lightweight and easy to carry.

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