A friend has one and just loved her's, she has hard floors and so do I, so I bought one and have been very happy with it since. Although it says it works on carpet, it does not work on all carpet, the carpet must be a very short nap for it to work. It is easy to maneuver and I really like how it turns easily around corners and under furniture. I haven't had the chance to use the tools yet but look forward to using them as I know the will work just as good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible. Waste of money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum is not good. The battery life is subpar at best. Picks up debris on the ground when it feels like it. Heaven forbid you have to pick up long hair.
11/10 wouldn’t buy again
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Jim, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm sorry to hear that we seem to have missed the mark with the Dyson V8™ vacuum, and that the Absolute model has not been a good fit for your home. There are two suction modes on this machine, regular and MAX, and up to 40 minutes of run time. If you are experiencing issues with pick-up, we'd like to walk you through the steps to troubleshoot this issue. Feel free to contact our customer service team at askdysonUS@dyson.com for assistance.
Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Dyson V8 ANIMAL/Titanium

Love this vacuum. So lightweight to hold/use. I have a small home with 4 cats and all hardwood floors with a few long-hair wool rugs. The V8 ANIMAL picks-up hairs and dirt in seconds with one pass. Also picks-up hairs on sofa, bedding I even cleaned my window screens! I’ve used each attachment with success and ease. Clearing out the receptacle is so easy too and getting to each part is simple (for cleaning). The machine is so compact that it can be tucked-away or left out and be out of the way. The docking station is super handy. I don’t mind pulling this out all day long just for the fun of using it! Ha! Imagine: cleaning IS FUN with my Dyson V8 Animal. ps: it’s QUIET enough that the cats don’t scatter!

Hello,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're sorry to hear of your disappointment in the Dyson V8 Absolute. The Dyson V8 Absolute comes with the direct-drive cleanerhead included, which digs deep into carpet fibers to grab ground-in debris and dirt. The V8 also has two modes: powerful suction mode and max mode. While powerful suction mode is ideal for the majority of cleaning tasks, the max mode is there if you need a temporary boost of power for particularly stubborn messes.
The V8 cordless machine is suitable for most flooring types. However, we are unable to test our machines on every flooring permutation out there. Therefore, we always recommend that you contact your carpet retailer/manufacturer before using your new Dyson or any other vacuum cleaner.
We'd value the opportunity to learn more about your experience with your Dyson as we'd like to help ensure you are having a 5-star experience. Please feel free to reach out to us at askdysonUS@dyson.com, and we will be in touch.
Best Wishes, Miella Dyson Customer Support

Great lightweight vacuum
on August 20, 2021

This is our first Dyson vacuum. We got this one because it's very portable & easy to carry upstairs. It does very well with carpets or bare floors. It has better suction than much bigger vacuums. It picks up pet hair great too. It's easy to empty as well. The only thing I wish is that the battery lasted a bit longer.

Great Machine

I am very pleased with performance, build and ease of use of my V8 Absolute. It's the first stick vac I've owned that picks up all the dirt on my kitchen floor in one pass. My only complaint and it's minor, is that the on switch tends to pinch my finger a little when I'm using the vacuum and I have to change the position of my finger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very lightweight and powerful

I have the small handheld dyson, which works good, for what I use it for, but this V8 is perfect for the my entire house. The battery indicator is a great enhancement. I can vacuum my entire house (approximately 4000 square feet) without needing to plug in for a recharge. Being lightweight, is a huge plus, and the size allows me to vacuum under things my upright vacuum does not, without changing to the wand. I am extremely pleased. Thank you!
