I hate this, why does it die so quick?? Is this a refurbished model?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dyson V8 cordless vacuum does a great job ... then in 8 minutes the battery dies ... needing to be recharged ... spends much more time recharging than running.... no trigger lock requires someone with arthritis in their hands to tape or velcro the trigger ... bought an aftermarket trigger lock

Hello, thank you for providing a review. We apologize for the inconvenience caused as you are facing a run-time issue, and you are also not satisfied with the design of the trigger. We can imagine how frustrating and disappointing this must be for you. This does not fall in line with the iconic service standards we aim to provide our customers. However, we strive to provide the best experience for our customers. Please be informed that the overall run time can increase and decrease depending on the power mode and tool being used. Dyson V8 gives 40 minutes run time on ‘Powerful’ mode and 7 minutes on ‘Max’ mode. Rest assured, we are committed to assisting you. We would also like to look further into this for you.

This was an expensive purchase and only to find out it doesn’t even have a long lasting battery. And I don’t like how it’s bulky and can’t really fit under the couch and small places.

Paying this much for a vacuum made me hesitant. I read both the low and high reviews, hoping my battery wouldn't have issues. Unfortunately, even after fully charging it, the battery dies within 5-10 minutes on the low setting. Additionally, I’m having trouble with the trash chute—it’s difficult to open and close, almost like it gets jammed. I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but it’s really strange. If there’s a solution, I’d love to know. I had much higher hopes for this vacuum, but I’m not so sure now. If the battery lasted longer and the trash chute didn’t get stuck, it would be much better. Right now, I have to slam it shut, and it’s tough to pull it up to empty the debris. This was a big splurge for me. I got this vacuum and one for my sister as a gift. For that type of money put down I would love an answer as to why this is happening.

I like that it was very thorough cleaning. But really short-lived battery life

I love my V8 Absolute. This is the first stick vacuum I’ve had and it’s a god send being disabled. I am coming from a canister (turtle) vac that always banged into me and everything else. It was also to heavy for me at this point. The V8 is amazing. The two heads it comes with along with the attachments are great.
It unfortunately does have a short battery life. Using it on low lasted about 20 minutes for me. I am being sent a replacement battery since it’s supposed to last longer than that. I appreciate that.
But I would recommend this machine to everyone. Thank you Dyson for making my life much easier but saving me a lot of energy.
