Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

I tried using a Dyson years ago when they came out. Great cordless vacuum, but you MUST hold down the on button for it to work, nor will it stay upright alone. Honestly, after all these years it has not changed much. I have carpel tunnel so having to hold an on button on gets painful after a few minutes. Not sure why it does not stand alone either, basic vacuums that cost less have this convenient feature. The positives: suction is fantastic and there are 2 settings. The vacuum does not make a lot of noise and is nice looking. It is lightweight and hangs on the wall, remember it does not stand by itself. The holding tank is a decent size too and cleaning it is simple enough. Unfortunately, because of my hands this is not the right vacuum for me. Did I mention the suction is the BEST?? Dyson needs to upgrade the simple things on this vacuum.

This arrives in a large box that somehow is also surprisingly small. I think that gives an early indication of the small but mighty quality of this vacuum. When you take this out, you will see that it has a small charge. Resist the urge to use this, and, instead, plug it in. Now, its going to take some time to charge. Therefore, be patient. While this is supposed to be wall mounted, we could not do that since we do not have a closet with an outlet and we didnt want to leave this visible on a wall. (And, perhaps, more importantly, we didnt want to have to spackle and paint when we moved on from this appliance). Therefore, we just charge this in the spare bedroom and then tuck it in a closet when done. And, it does need to be noted that this cannot take the place of your corded vacuum. Even with a full charge, the battery life is very short: maybe twenty to thirty minutes. (And, charger is not fast). When you pick this up, it is so easy to bump the activation button. In fact, Im not certain I have ever picked this up and NOT turned it on by accident. Maybe the button needs a cover or to be placed in a different area? And, just as a note, you must squeeze the on button for this to work. You cannot turn it on and it stays on. You must always hold the trigger down. I think thats a pretty serious hint that this isnt meant to clean you entire home in one session. So, why the five stars? Because this works like nothing else. We have two Roombas on each floor. They run every other day and everything seems very clean. But when I slowly ran this over the areas rugs, I was stunned at not only the hair, but the debris. I mean ... stunned! When I was done with all of the area rugs, I had dumped the bin three times. My better-half was as surprised as I. And, of course, he ended up vacuuming all of the cars ... and even took it to my dads house (because hes on the same Roomba program as we are) and doing all of my dads rugs! Hes wild about this thing! Its his new toy. The power and effectiveness is positively incomparable! We have been using this for about a month. Our opinion has not changed. This is a truly amazing device that allows for next-level cleaning (and if your children have allergies or asthma, you know how important a deep clean is). Weighing everything, I can only very highly recommend this. Another way to keep your home super tidy! Wow!

I like that it’s rechargeable. I love the interchangeable parts. It’s very powerful. I use it in the house. My daughter uses it in her car. My Dad has one which is why I purchased it. I love how easy it is to dump the dirt. My first time using I wasn’t aware of the max dirt level. The vacuum started hesitating when it was over the level. Now I know and am attentive to monitoring . I love it.

We already owned a Dyson cordless vacuum but decided to get a second one so that we would have one upstairs and one downstairs. We really liked our original Dyson and it always worked very well so we decided to go with another Dyson. This time around we decided to get a slightly more powerful one so we selected this Dyson. After using it for a while, we are extremely happy with it. Its even more powerful than our original Dyson and does a better job at cleaning. We like it so much that we are considering replacing our original Dyson with another one of these models. Besides the additional cleaning power, it also has a bigger and easier to empty bin. The vacuum comes with several useful accessories including a small and large powerhead. We use the larger one to clean floors and the smaller one to clean upholstery. If I had any complaints, it is that I wish it would run longer on the battery. I rarely run out of battery but when doing bigger jobs I sometimes do, With two Dysons though if I do run out of battery, I just use my second one. The other thing I like about this Dyson is the wall hanging bracket it comes with. I installed it in a closer that has an outlet. It makes storing and charging the unit convenient. The one thing I would recommend though is not using the wall anchors that come with the unit. When removing the vacuum from the wall bracket, it tugs and pulls from the wall. After repeated removals, the included anchors will just start coming out of the wall. To fix this, I replaced with butterfly wall anchors and they work perfectly. Overall we lover this vacuum and would definitely recommend.

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

Very fast shipping. Great service.

My starting point is having an old Dyson ball vacuum cleaner. That was great when we had carpet because of the suction power but now that we have wood and tile floors I really need something a bit more versatile. The stick vacuum takes up less space in the closet, easy to use that the kids can vacuum as part of their chores, and I love that I can use the small detached vacuum for the car and sofa…getting all those kiddy krumps.

This is what I picked up in the first 8-10 minutes of use. I mainly got it for the steps and the area in front of the litter boxes and oh my god this thing is powerful!

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.

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.
