Dyson V8 Animal Cordless HEPA Vacuum Cleaner De-tangling Motorbar Cleaner Head Hair Screw Tool Combination Tool Crevice Tool

Had this about 3 months and use once a week. Store in garage. Charger on a timer for night charging since garage is hot in day. About 2000 sq ft (with furniture etc) to vacuum. About 1/2 wood and tile floors. Uses about one blue light out of the three that show battery status. Carpet areas uses second light and goes into third. I am probably close to the end of its charge but I think I only ran out of power once. Has a high power setting. This will use up your battery very fast. Only had to use once or twice for a spill. You can not use it for regular vacuuming and it is not needed for that. Carpet can be a problem. Some of my carpets are very easy to go back and forth on. Others have a fabric that the suction is very very good on and can be hard to push the vacuum on. Should not be a problem. The vacuum head is very very easy to maneuver and get around furniture and under furniture. Last vacuum was and up right. This is much much better. Also had canister and this is much easier to use. The above assumes no use of the tools. I use these on a different day and could take more time than the vacuuming. Read more

I have had a standard dyson plug in ball vac for 20 years and love it. When it came time to get a cordless i knew no other would do for me. It was an early Christmas present to myself and i just couldn’t wait to use it. Suction works great. Well worth getting the upholstery tool. Battery didn’t last as long as i had hoped and the device is pretty heavy so it forced me to take a break. But for occasional use or daily maintenance for my house full of dog hair it works great. Love it. Would definitely recommend. And if it’s anything like my other dyson it should last me a long time. Read more

Wanted to use a few times before leaving review. So far it works great, has great suction, and really cleans. We have three dogs and two cats, so whether this model is any better than the normal one, but hardwood floors, non shaggy carpets is no problem for this unit. It does get "hung up" on some thicker floor mats, like in the bathroom. The brushes will just stop when its on a surface not suitable. Cleaning results are comparable to high dollar Rainbow, but obviously easier to manage. Some people complaining about the battery. We have a 1900 square foot home, and I can vacuum the entire house two times before having to recharge. Read more

This unit is so versatile with so many attachments, and it has great suction power even on thick rugs. It’s been a great addition to our household. We have used it on hardwood floors, carpet, rugs, furniture, baseboards, crown molding, and cleaning the interior of the car. Read more

This was very expensive to only last 2 years. The battery does not work longer than 10 minutes. Very disappointed! Read more

This is a nice vacuum, it's very lightweight and easy to use. Lots of attachments though there's nothing included in the packaging explaining them. Pros: works well; easy to carry around and use; does pull up lots of dirt and dog fur very well on the higher setting. Cons: battery doesn't last long, I can't clean the whole house on one charge; the collection canister is about the size of a mini-prep so it doesn't hold much; no way to lock the trigger on so it gets tiring to hold it; everything is plastic so it doesn't feel like super high quality; I have to keep going back and forth to collect and change out attachments since they're not onboard. More expensive than it should be. Biggest problem I have is this sends my dog into a killer rage. Full-on attack mode. Barking, crying, biting, trying to kill the vacuum and/or me. I need those knife-safe gloves and a chainmail suit to survive using this. Read more

I have always wanted a Dyson but hesitated because of the price. i have a dog that sheds like crazy and i have to vacuum everyday. I decided i deserved a vacuum that was proven to be good. i am not disappointed! Very light and can get practically everywhere. Easy to empty and switch to just the handheld power. (like a dustbuster type thing) Read more

I love my new Dyson stick vac. I am on my third plug in Dyson and I am totally sold on the brand but this is my first cordless one. It is just so much easier to use this one without having to plug it in and I find I vacuum much more frequently. With a yellow lab in the house it is that much more important to vacuum. As always the amount of fine dirt that gets picked up is amazing. I was concerned that the dump cup would be too small for all the dog hair but I just have to empty it more frequently which hasn’t turned out to be a problem.. Read more
