Large performance in small package keeps impressing us!

A couple weeks into owning the V8 absolute.
Highs: Hardwood floor performance with the specific hard floor head is impressive, the edge cleaning is better than any vacuum I've ever used, it doesn't throw debris away from the head it just picks it up. Really great so far for hard floors.
The carpet head is working well also for carpet and rugs. Switch on the high suction and it excels on stairs and hard to reach areas. I really like it for the stairs.
Car cleaning: used it for first time today and the smaller beater brush did wonders on 3 cars carpet, used it on high suction.
Assembly, changing heads and attachments could't be easier.
Cons: narrow head design takes a while to cover a large floor and is a little squirrely at times to control. Emptying the debris bin is tricky at best. Suggest doing it outside where spilling won't be a problem. The issue being the way the dirt ejects from the bin pulling the release button. Also having to maintain the trigger pressed "ON" the entire time you clean gets fatiguing on your hand.

Wow!

So, we have three dogs and we've had a DC14 corded vac for probably 15 years or more. We got a DC31 handheld to do stuff like furniture when it came out, then when we moved to a house with mostly hardwoods, we got a couple of DC35s some time ago. They worked great for hardwoods for a clean here or there between a major one, but for rugs, not so much, so we kept that old DC14. But, I always thought if they could come up with a cordless that was 90% as good for twice the price, I'd get it.
Now, we just got a V8 Absolute and everything has changed. I'm pretty sure I'll get rid of the old corded vacuum because the V8 is at least 90% as good as that DC14 and it was a bit less expensive!
The first thing I noticed about the V8 is it looks and feels more refined than the DC3x vacs we had. Lots of improvements are immediately visible and the new emptying mechanism and latch systems are great. No needing to take the bin off or reach up and pull that hair out from around the bottom of the cyclone unit. The attachments come off effortlessly without having to take your other hand off the power head. What you don't see are the improvements in the batteries. It lasts so much longer than the DC35 even when it was new. Using it on high mode it gives better life than the 35 on low. Pull the trigger and at the same time, you realize it has serious power and is more quiet than the older ones.
The new felt floor tool is perfect for hardwoods, with little to know blow back and the new brush actually has enough power for the rugs we have. I really raises the nap up on them where the older ones were just good for a quick hot on dog hair, maybe.
All in all, I feel the cordless vacuums have finally come up to being able to be used for all cleaning and do a thorough job of it.
