The little wheels on the fluffy head get stuck with hair and won’t turn. They are not easily removable so I had to order a Torx set to disassemble the head after one week of use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

we have 3 v8's to keep yp with the dogs in the house. the new V8 seems to be a sturdier machine than the older ones. it does a good job with dog hair and grime which helps my wife's asthma quite a bit. I find the trap easy to open and empty quickly. the battery life seems to be longer compared to the older V8's.
All and all it is a great machine for the price If you are lucky you will find them on sale in Dyson announcements which is the most price wise method to purchase it.
A great machine for a house full of dogs or kids for that matter.
I was initially hesitant to invest so much in a vacuum, but I’m really pleased with my decision. I find myself using it for a variety of tasks around the house, even vacuuming my bed once a week! The only downside I've noticed is that when I switch it to the max setting, the battery tends to drain more quickly than I'd like. Overall, it's been a great addition to my cleaning routine.
