I bought this a couple weeks ago and I'm already loving it. I've never owned a nice vacuum so it's a big upgrade. It's much lighter than I anticipated and I have an easy time reaching anywhere with it. I wish it included the crevice attachment, but besides that I am extremely pleased with it, including the battery. All that remains to be seen is how long the vacuum lasts, but given that my sister has used hers for 7-8 years now, I doubt that will be an issue!
So far it has been a significant upgrade to our old Dyson, and a delight! It vacuums gently when needed for surfaces where needed, and very powerful on the max setting. The emptying is easier and more complete. Lightweight, but as functional or better than much heavier older equipment we have had.
Love this vacuum! It's the best, no complaints! Only thing I would change is the trigger, holding it down can be a pain at times, should lock in and I'm sure the newer models may do that. This vacuum picks everything up beautifully! I have had 2 other stick type vacuums, they were worthless!
My Dyson V8 is so light and gets to so many places our old upright vacuum never could. So much easier to carry it up and down the stairs that we did realize how often we didn’t vacuum simply because it was too difficult. House is way cleaner nowadays!
I love my new Dyson it is so light weight and easy to use. It is so easy to clean. I actually look forward to vacuuming. Now that really says something
I received the vacuum as a gift. I've had 2 back surgeries and our regular vacuum cleaner was too heavy for me to push. My new Dyson V8 was the answer to a clean freaks dreams. Love it!!!
