Compact, Powerful, Convenient
on November 21, 2021

Gender:Male
I have had this vacuum for several months now. I have two cats and a dog. So, needless to say, a lot of animal fur in my house. This vacuum, if used weekly or more often, picks up everything without a problem. If it looses suction it is easy enough to clean it out. If you have heavy duty jobs to do, like you have cleaned for months, or there was a ton of sheetrock, this vacuum will do the job, but a plug in Dyson is going to be more efficient for you.
Side note: If you clean everything out and still have lost suction, you will probably have to wash the filters to get the suction back. It takes them a day or two to dry out. Probably depends on how warm your house is.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super Handy but has flaws

Overlooking the high price I bought this to replace a corded upright. The convenience is really nice, it works well, and the battery lasts plenty long enough for my use. BUT... It looks like a 10 year old drew a pistol and they used it for the handle and trigger. When using it on floors, the angle of the handle cramps your wrist after a while and the guard, or whatever it is under the trigger, pulls your index finger sideways into a very unnatural position. If they would make the trigger larger and hooked they wouldn't need that guard thing. I'll be cutting it off of mine.

Does great on hardwood, carpets not so much

I have a medium sized area rug, probably around 1-inch long material (not like a shag carpet) and the vacuum attachments instantly get stuck when trying to vacuum the rug. Tried both speeds, same thing. On hardwood floors and everything else, does great!

Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, June 3, 2021
Hello James9120,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're happy to hear you've enjoyed your Dyson V8 Absolute machine on your hard flooring! The V8 Absolute's direct-drive cleanerhead works on carpeting and hard flooring, but we include the soft roller cleanerhead if you happen to have sensitive hard flooring in the home.
We're sorry to hear of your experience with your area rug. The V8 Absolute is suitable for most flooring and carpeting types. However, we are unable to test our machines on every flooring permutation our there. Therefore, we always recommend that you contact your carpet and rug retailer/manufacturer before using your new Dyson or any other vacuum cleaner. Some have recommendations and restrictions on suction power, brushbar and even brand.
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

Problem Handle
on February 14, 2018
Posted by: Lyndielou
Gender:Female
I purchased a Dyson Absolute vacuum last weekend and was excited to try it.
After several minutes of use however, I found the design of the rigid plastic handle to be problematic. I had to keep my forefinger constantly on the trigger while in use, while gripping the handle with the rest of my hand. This resulted in a blister forming on the top of my thumb from the underside of the handle. I had to put a band aid on before continuing use.
Without a doubt the Dyson did a great job of cleaning but I’m disappointed with the overall design.
Coincidentally, when I discussed this issue with a friend who had recently bought a similar one, she experienced the same problem!

Perfect for my Manhattan apartment

I read a comparison review to see which Dyson would be best for me. I had a big upright Dyson Animal before and I loved it but this is really so much better for my needs. It is much lighter and easier to use and switching attachments is super easy. It has a smaller head so gets into places easier that I couldn't reach with the bigger model. It makes cleaning my very large NYC apartment a dream, and I actually look forward to using it. I can easily whip it out for a quick clean up or touch up when I'm having guests and hide it back away as it takes very little space. It came with a really nice bag for holding all the attachments and once again you get what you pay for. Dyson is worth it.

So easy!

I bought this V8 a few weeks ago and have been using it almost daily. I have back problems and bad arthritis and found corded vacs or shop vacs hard to use. This vac is wonderful. No cord, long reach without bending, flexible and easy turning head and no cord to tangle and have to re-plug. Fantastic! Different attachments go on with a simple click and without having to screw. I have 2 cats and this vac gets their hair and litter trail in one swipe. With the other vacs I had to swipe over and over again to get the floor or rug clean. V8 = 1 swipe! Best of all I do not have to get my hands dirty to empty. The pull up top latch is easy and the bottom drops out with all that the vac picked up. Very, very neat. I really do not know what I would do without this wonderful machine.
