Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum

This is a marvelous tool. It replaces a central vac that was like wrestling an anaconda. This vacuum is lightweight, sucks up cat hairs and pine needles from the Christmas tree, has a carpet attachment that really works, and is easy to use on furniture. It was difficult to figure out how to empty the receptacle at first - the instructional diagram isn't the best. On the whole great value for money.

Great vacuum

Does great on variety of surfaces. Light enough to carry around the house and up stairs. Attachments are useful and easy to swap. Love this more than m y other far more expensive vacuum.

Works great until the battery inevitably fails and the company won't replace the battery. Just look it up and you'll see what I mean. Thousands of useless batteries.

I have had Dyson vacuum’s for years. When I moved and had my vacuum in storage it just wouldn’t hold a charge. Check on Amazon and fouls this one, which is (amazing). Amazon always has the right price

I bought this a few years ago and it made cleaning a joy. I just hated using the vacuum cleaner with a long cord. Cords just get in the way and you have to keep plugging and unplugging to reach every area of your home. Once you go cordless you won't want to go back to a regular vaccum cleaner. The ease of just pressing the trigger and walking around freely with your vacuum cleaner makes cleaning a breeze. The canister is easy to empty too. The only thing I don't like is the battery. It doesn't hold its charge for too long. The newer versions have more long lasting batteries. Too bad the next version came out a month after I bought this one. After a year the battery became useless. It would last about a minutes at the strongest speed, but 10 minutes at the lowest speed, making this vacuum cleaner a very expensive device to maintain since the dyson battery costs over a hundred dollars. I took a star off because of that. It is a pretty decent vaccum cleaner with good suction power so I give it 4 stars, but the newer versions have better suction power and longer lasting batteries.

Really impressed! I have carpeting and I myself have long hair and cats who scatter litter throughout the house, and this does a great job with both. It's really easy to avoid the hair tangling around the brush like I had problems with with other vacuums.

Absolutely loving this version of the Dyson! Runs smooth. Super light weight. Love the different suction option. Battery life is sufficient for what I need. Clean up of accessories is super easy as well. That is probably my favorite thing!

EDIT: After 6 years, still working fine. Original battery. Run time about 30 minutes which is fine for me. All the attachments still going strong. I would say a slight decrease in suction, most likely because I'm not good at cleaning the filters as often as they recommend. Can't find genuine Dyson filters on Amo snd not sure how the fakes would perform, so will get direct from Dyson. £15 after 6 years seems worth it to me. Still recommend. On the first use, it sucked up my rug as it was so powerful and I had to switch off to release. Then I noticed the machine was supplied pre-set to max. When reset to standard it cleans just fine. Max is handy for getting the last bit of dust from my hard floors but not necessary for my carpets. To keep on top of the unrelenting fine grit from my yard that gets traipsed into the utility room and kitchen, I clean little and often so the charge capacity is fine for me. It may not last if I cleaned the whole house top to bottom in one go, but I'm afraid after cleaning one floor I tend to lose interest till another day anyway. Some reviewers commented on the hard-to-empty bin. I found it dead easy using the little red pull thing per the instructions rather than trying to undo it at the bottom. The bin doesn't hold much, but for short cleans every other day it's perfectly adequate. I can do kitchen, utility, dining room, family room (hard floors) and large sitting room (carpet) in 1 charge/1 bin. I have to empty twice when I include the cat beds, as they are full of fluff an other unidentifiable bits and bobs . I thought it would be heavy but it's so well balanced that it takes very little effort to use. Keeping the power button depressed is no problem - you grip with all 4 fingers and the forefinger just happens to hold the power button down. It's really easy to manoeuvre round bends, into corners, under kitchen units and under sitting-room chairs. As a handheld, it was brilliant for doing my dogleg staircase which was always a problem on the bend with the old Dyson ball. A handheld is better for doing the upholstery as well. I've had Dysons since they first came out (only 2 and one is still working!) and liked them apart from the noise (in a previous house with a tall echoey stair well I used ear defenders), but the V8 is much quieter. It didn't disturb the cats at all until I nudged their beds with it and they woke up and saw !hoover! and legged it. It seems to be well made as the traditional corded vacs. I don't think the lightness = flimsy. I've been using it for 2 weeks and I would recommend it.
