Overall very satisfied with weight of product, strenght of vaccum and battery. Issues are with design. As an older person it is hard to apply constant pressure on switch to operate. As a short person, the inability to change the lenght of the tube connecting head to attachment decrease maneuverability/control. I used the "help you select right vaccum" aid. As a feature, I chose a light. The aid showed me this model. It does not have a light. I purchased without double checking. It is disappointing that the aid misdirected me
We are thrilled with our new Dyson. I can’t believe it’s even better than our old one. It maneuvers well, the accessories are easy to change as well as helps maneuver in small areas. It has a strong suction, easy to empty, light weight and not super noisy. I think the wall mount could be better. Maybe better stronger longer screws. We use ours everyday and eventually the mount comes loose.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for the great review! We're thrilled you love the Dyson V8 Origin Extra – it's one of the reasons it stands out. Happy cleaning!
Does not work on rugs at all! Head stops spinning immediately and I have tried all the troubleshooting. Just pushes larger pieces of dirt around and never sucks it up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Please contact our customer support team at askdysonus@dyson.com. We will review your setup, assess compatibility with rug surfaces, and work toward the best possible resolution. Dyson wishes you great health and joy!
I bought this a couple weeks ago. Very quiet, very light. I really like it. Switching the heads for solid floors to rugs is a bit of a pain but does a great job. Very happy.
