Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

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 bought this model Dyson since it was on sale and I needed to replace my eureka stick vac I’ve had for a few years. Never had a Dyson before and figured why not see what the hype is about…so far I’m not impressed! I primarily use a vac like this (without having to pull out our house central vac system) to clean up after my toddlers messes, to suck up dog hair and a general quick clean up. The battery life is awful and I don’t keep it plugged in 24/7. I can maybe get a few, quick, runs around the house with this before it needs to be charged again. Also I’m so annoyed that it’s a trigger on/off switch instead of a constant on switch (just my personal pet peeve). It’s heavy for my hand/arm and rubs against my thumb when using. It doesn’t stand up straight on its own. Using it on my thin, washable rugs where the kids play, it stops spinning like there’s something caught in it, when there isn’t, so I have to stop it so it can almost reset, then use it again.

Best vacuum I have ever used hard pill to swallow for the how expensive they are but you forget that as soon as you use it

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.

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.

I am happy to have an opportunity to try out this Dyson V8 vacuum, its my first time to use Dyson vacuum product. The best part I found was hair (both humans and pets) didnt stay on the brush/roller. The other vacuum I own doesnt have this feature and every time after I use vacuum, I need to remove it manually. The V8 vacuums suction power is as strong as corded vacuums, it collected all my cats hair. As its cordless, it is easy to maneuver. One thing I didnt like was I needed to press the trigger button all the time while Im vacuuming, that made my hand tired. I havent installed but Im planning to install the wall mount charging station near one of our outlets. Disposing the dust was very easy. Overall, I like the V8 vacuum so far. If I find anything notable later, I will update this review.

Muy fácil de manejar, aspira súper bien y la puedes usar todo el tiempo como escoba, comprenlaaaa la va a amar!!

This vacuum cleaner is lightweight and has great power. It is easy to clean after using.

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!

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.
