I guess I didn’t look at the on button description because I definitely wouldn’t have ordered this particular one. This vacuum you have to hold the on button the whole time you’re using the vacuum. Not too convenient. Very disappointed on this certain feature.

I love the V8 Absolute so much I purchased a 2nd one just because it was on sale! I had the original V8 for a very long time. When it began giving us problem we “upgraded” to a new version which I think was the V9 but learned immediately that the way to discard the dirt was just too complicated having to remove the entire stick so we purchased the V8 Absolute. We still have the other but we were only using it if the other ran low on battery. Now I have three Dysons in the home. One in the the back family room, one in the mudroom which is close to the front of the house, and the other hanging in my office. We have dogs so it helps to have them stationed that way. The soft roller is amazing for hardwood floors and for thin, machine washable area rugs. All of them are great to vaccuum dog hair from furniture and floors. I even got an attachment that connects to literally vaccuum the hair right off of my dogs when the are in shedding season! What I’d like to see in the future is a way to to lock the button for continuous suction so I can freely use the accordion hose or the additional attachment for vacuuming my dogs, or using the vacuum to suck the air out of my storage bags. It would help for ease of maneuverability when those hand held tasks are needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our new Dyson V8 is very good, excellent cleaning performance. Appreciate the different attachments and the fact you can use it as a handheld. Two negatives. Wish the charger cord was longer and it would be nice for an on off switch rather than having to hold the trigger to keep it running. Overall very happy

I have been using my new Dyson for about weeks. The battery lasts for 7 minutes (I timed it). I’m super disappointed because my prior cordless vacuum had a much lunch run time. Would love to return this!

Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Service, December 16, 2025
Thank you for sharing your honest review. While we’re glad you chose Dyson again, we’re very sorry that the battery life on your new machine has been so short.

They’ll be happy to assist you with troubleshooting and discuss return or replacement options if necessary. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re grateful you shared it with us.
It picks up great but the battery doesn’t last long at all before it quits and needs to be recharged.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Service, December 16, 2025

We know how important it is for a cordless vacuum to provide enough run time for your home. Our team is available through live chat or phone to review the issue with you directly and help arrange a solution.
The battery is both detachable. It dies very quickly which doesn’t allow me to vacuum my entire house. It is also difficult to empty the lint. Don’t like it at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s picking up dust out of the carpet that I can’t see until it’s in the vacuum.
