Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

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!!

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’ve been using an older model of this vacuum for years and love the impressive suction power and working without being tethered to a power cord. My only issue is the brief runtime on the maximum power setting and comparing my old model with this new one that remains unchanged. Note--runtime is affected by a variety of issues beyond speed for example flooring type, level of debris, attachment used, etc. so it is difficult to provide an accurate time that would apply to all. There are improvements to this model which include some of the tools along with the system for emptying the dust bin. Overall the unit is excellent and just like the older version the only improvement would be runtime. Using the Motorbar cleaning (floor) attachment the operating time is approximately 10 minutes at max power and approximately 20 minutes at the regular setting and this applies to both my old unit and this new model. With other battery powered tools often additional batteries can be charged to easily swap out when one is depleted but that is not easy to accomplish with the current design of this vacuum because the battery is screwed to the motor unit and the entire piece is placed in the charger. In summary my issue is I like the vacuum so much I wish I could use it longer. The regular setting has strong suction so best use it whenever possible. The vacuum works well on hard flooring, carpeting, stairs, etc. and for quick jobs the vacuum cleaner is quick and efficient.

Its times like these where battery-powered vacuums really start to exhibit their flaws. This vacuum is no exception, but let me start with the positives. This vacuum does a really good job being able to pull even the most stubborn particles and crumbs off your floor. However, the biggest caveat to this suction power is the quick depletion of battery life. On the maximum setting, this vacuum lasts less than 20 minutes on a full charge.

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!

I really like the vacum it took me 3 weeks to get it.

I mostly got this vacuum for all the places that my regular vac cant reach and it does not disappoint. It was super easy to put together and very use to use. I can vac much farther under furniture now, vac the stairs super easily. I can even vac the dog hair that is stuck to the memory foam mattress topper that my old vac couldnt tackle. There is a little bit of friction trying to push her around the carpet, but thats what the upright vac is for. She glides super easily on non carpeted flooring surfaces. The things I dont really care for - the battery capacity isnt that great if youre trying to clean the whole house, especially if you put it on max suction so use that sparingly. So far Im really impressed with how much it sucks up and how easy it is to use.

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

Love how light it is, and no cord

This vacuum is a dream come true. Ive gone through so many brands and none have even come close to the suction power this vacuum has. Its easy to maneuver, included a bunch of great attachments, and its easy to store without taking up too much space. Plus its purple - my favorite color! The battery life is actually a lot better than i expected considering the immense power this vacuum uses when operating. When we bought our home the previous owners had flooring done that left some gaps between the planks in odd areas of the home. Little bits of dirt and yuck would get between the flooring and no matter what we tried, we just couldnt get the dirt out. We literally put the head of the vacuum over the gap, and bam -- all the dirt was gone in a second!!! The suction power is enough to make me give 10 stars to this Dyson if I could. Absolutely amazing and a real headache saver.
