We purchased our new Dyson V8 the first of June. Honestly, I was shocked at it's performance. I thought we had clean floors and rugs. Boy was I wrong! I should have taken pictures of what it picked up. We could not be happier!! Well worth the investment.
Vacuum for 8 min then charge for 5 hours! Not very efficient

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to have such a short runtime followed by a lengthy charge, especially when you are trying to stay on top of everyday cleaning. Battery efficiency is a vital part of product performance, and we are sorry to hear this fell short of your expectations. Depending on your model and settings (such as using Boost or Max mode), runtime can vary significantly. We would love the opportunity to help troubleshoot or explore ways to optimize your usage. In many cases, a simple setting adjustment or maintenance tip can make a noticeable difference. Please feel free to connect with our customer support team or email us at askdysonus@dyson.com. We would be happy to help you find the right solution. Best wishes, Dyson Marketplace Support
I am so happy we bought this a month ago…. Wish I had done it earlier. It’s so easy to use, and cleans extremely well! We have 3 dogs that always bring in stuff from outside, mulch, twigs, etc. super convenient to grab it off the charger to spot clean!
Hate the trigger power button. Have to hold it down. All the attachments are a waste of time. Plus I just don’t think it works all that well. I feel like I have to vacuum everything twice. Storage not convenient. Have to drill into the wall.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This vacuum is fantastic! It’s getting trash out of my carpet I didn’t even know was there. I can’t imagine how good a full sized vacuum would be if the stick vacuum is this great.
In order for the vacuum to operate, you need to keep your finger on the trigger. When you take your finger off, the vacuum stops. You would think that with the high cost of this vacuum, it would have an on/off button. Also, the battery when fully charged does not last 40 minutes you are lucky it lasts 25 minutes. Lastly, it is very cumbersome when emptying the bin to clean. Overall, the design of Dyson V8 is not impressive and I would not recommend it to my family and friends.
