Great vacuum
on July 21, 2021

My son purchased this for me. It is so easy to use…upstairs, downstairs and outside to the car. I don’t think I ever would have purchased this for myself but am grateful for this gift. Given my age it is incredibly easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far...so good!

I have not found battery life to be a problem, but I use it for only about 15 minutes at a time, and usually store it on the charger in between uses. Have not yet tested it to see how long I can use it without charging. Suction is great at max setting...I seldom bother with the lower setting except to suck up crumbs from the table without disturbing paperwork.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A very expensive dust buster
on June 10, 2021
Posted by: ZThacher

I bought this for my new house thinking it would be convenient to carry around the house. The suction power is nothing like my old Dyson upright vacuum I bought 18 years ago. It was heavy as a pile of bricks, but wow, so powerful. The V8 Cordless is kind of like an expensive toy. It clogs very, very easily from carpet fibers, and the canister is tiny. I should have bought a dustbuster for my upstairs and a proper upright or canister vacuum for the whole house. This is kind of a joke honestly. It's fine if you're super rich and want a fancy dust buster, otherwise, I'd avoid it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're so sorry to hear of your experience with your Dyson V8 Absolute cordless machine. The V8 Absolute's cleanerhead was designed to delve deep into fibers for ground-in dirt and debris, but it's very peculiar for it to be clogging as easily. Maintenance is required to keep the machine performing at the optimal level, and depending on your usage, you may need to maintain the machine more often.
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

Love the cordless V8 absolute

i absolutely love this vacuum- was surprised at the animal fur and dust that it picked up even after using my canister vac- wish I had known about the Dyson before purchasing the canister- I purchased the cordless to take up the slack of the canister- I used this other brand for years- but will stick with Dyson-Love it

Brilliant but a plug-in would be fantastic, too.

I like the freedom of the V8 mobility; however, 40 minutes is not enough. Maybe a power hybrid is a future feature.

Worth the wait
on November 17, 2021

I finally decided to buy this Dyson vacuum after mulling it over for years and was so excited to finally try it out. The assembly was a breeze and switching out parts was easier than I expected. I love how you can see how much dirt and dust you collect in the discard bin and emptying that is also no hassle and mess free. The vacuum was slightly heavier than I anticipated and holding down the trigger for extended periods of time does cause my hand to cramp slightly, which is why I'm giving this 4/5 stars.

Strong, light, high quality

This is a replacement for a previous model that was several years old. I like it a lot, works well, not heavy. The clip to attach the accessories has been modified from the previous model I had and I find this one easier to do - I can do it with one hand where the previous one I had to use both hands. Recommend.
My only suggestion - this comes with quite a few accessories. Only two will fit on the wall mounted charger. A (very nice) bag is provided for the others. Personally I don't like using a bag, so my husband 3d printed clips so that we can mount the other items in the closet using the same clip mechanism that attaches the accessories to the vacuum. If Dyson offered a rack that would allow all the accessories to hang, I would have bought it. I realize that would be large and not every one has space for that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery dies after 3 minutes only 2 years old
on November 19, 2021
Posted by: Battery sucks
We loved this vacuum at first, used it daily. But now it only gets about 3-5 minutes of run time before the battery dies. Save your money.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're sorry to hear of your experience with your Dyson V8 Absolute cordless machine. The Dyson V8 provides up to 40 minutes of run time, depending on the mode or combination of modes, and tools used.
The V8 comes with two suction modes: powerful suction mode and max mode. Powerful suction mode is ideal for the majority of cleaning tasks and provides up to 40 minutes. The max mode is created to be a temporary boost of power for particularly stubborn messes, and provides a total 8 minutes of run time alone.
To keep the machine running at the optimal level, routine maintenance is required. However, the maintenance is quite simple and outlined in the user manual. We also have videos that give a visual guide on our Dyson Support page.
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.
