Really not impressed with this vacuum. The battery lasts maybe 20 minutes, my hand uses cramped from holding down the on button, and it’s very top heavy. I may be returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought another dyson with the Memorial Day Sale. I rotated my older one to the basement, and the basement one to the garage for the cars. I've purchased several throughout the years and this one is by far the best! It works well (like all Dysons) and has lots of cool attachments. Love it.
This unit was bought 4/2025 as a gift. The charge does not last to vacuum a small, low pile carpeted room. Tried to use on wood floors on still does not hold a charge. It hangs on the charging unit and used when 3 lights show. I took pictures of on the charger before use and the next picture is when I took it off the charger before using. Battery definitely not holding a charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A very quiet and efficient vacuum. The battery life is also good. The vacuum is fairly light weight making it easy to vacuum things up high and down low.
Bad battery life on high power mode, but it is very powerful. Only get if you have a small home

Hello, we appreciate your feedback on the Dyson V8 Origin. It’s true that high power mode consumes more battery, but it’s designed for maximum performance on tough cleaning tasks. For everyday cleaning, standard mode offers a balance between suction and runtime. If you have a larger space, charging between uses or opting for a model with extended battery life might help.
