My son gave me two vacuum cleaners for each floor of my home. The Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner has been outstanding and helping me keep my house clean. As a senior citizen I find it extremely convenient and easy to use. I appreciate the way that it moves from different floor surfaces without any effort. Great product.
This vacuum is fantastic! Whenever I am directed to do some vacuuming by my wife, I grab the Dyson and get cracking. Not only does it suck up the shmutz, it also runs out of battery right around the same time I run out of motivation. I really like the ease of emptying the waste cup, and that if I screw up, I can reattach the cup and get it right back up.
It’s pretty light and changing attachments is super easy. I can go from vacuuming the floor to using the upholstery tool in my crumb covered car seats and floor mats.
All in all, this is now my go to vacuum. I actually use it everyday, having wood floors that really show stuff on the floor. If we had carpets, not only would I not recommend this vacuum, I wouldn’t bother vacuuming, since the guck just settles in the fibers.
Great agility, but the battery only lasts for eight minutes on max. I called Dyson to inquire about this and she said that is correct. Eight minutes, not 40 or 20 or 25. Eight minutes. I have a Roomba that guides and drives itself around for an hour and 50 minutes, how can the batteries be so different?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Ridhu Sharma, Customer Service, January 12, 2025
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern regarding the battery life of your Dyson device. The maximum power mode is designed for intensive cleaning tasks and, as a result, consumes more battery power, leading to a shorter runtime. For longer cleaning sessions, we recommend using the device in standard mode, which offers a balance between power and battery life. Please contact our customer care team at askdysonUS@dyson.com with your order number so we can expedite the resolution of this matter.
