I’m very pleased with my Dyson V8 Absolute so far! It’s very well designed, performs exceptionally well, and the ability to use the vacuum without the restriction of a cord really makes the work easier!
I bought a Dyson Slim over a decade ago & was very pleased. I used it daily. It stopped working & I def wanted another. I looked them up & it has improved so much! My only issue... the cost. Times are very tough & I thought w/ all the improvements, extra accessories, & now 2 floor heads, for sure it would be beyond my budget. Wow! I couldn't believe it was on sale plus a choice of 1 free gift, (I took the furniture attachments for pets)! I am so happy I bought this. More powerful than the last, 2 speeds, so easy to use... I would highly reccomend this product!
I bought for new carpet, I would have given a 5 rating, except for the wall mount. Inserting the charger is difficult, once it, the part broke when releasing the vacuum. I called, have to wait a week before receiving an email to submit for a replacement, still have yet to receive email.
I had high expectations because it was a Dyson. The suction is ok but the battery dies very quickly. You get about 5 minutes of use time
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was gifted a Dyson V8 by my friends and it has proved to be my favorite gift ever! It is so easy to use, lightweight, and efficient. I had wanted one for a long time and (evidently) mentioned my desire for one more than once! It is a super convenient cleaning tool and I highly recommend it!
