We bought this vacuum and fully charged the unit. Great power and suction, however the battery only lasted 5 minutes. For the price payed, we expected more than 5 minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, May 23, 2022
Hi there, this is David with Dyson. I'm happy to hear how much you're enjoying the great power and suction from your Dyson V8™ cordless vacuum. Dyson V8™ machines have been engineered with a run time of up to 40 minutes on a full charge. This can vary, however, based on the suction mode being used. That said, Dyson cordless machines will also operate with a run-time enhancing light touch trigger, which helps ensure power is only used when you want to be cleaning. All of our cordless units will come switched on to the MAX suction mode out of the box. This setting is designed with tough cleaning jobs in mind. To ensure you're able to receive the full run time your machine can provide, we'd recommend switching the suction control slider off of the MAX suction mode. We're keen to go over your machine with you, and help ensure that you're able to get the best from your Dyson V8™ cordless vacuum. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
David Dyson Customer Support

My new favorite

I have an older cordless and a dyson DC23 canister vac, the V8 absolute is my favorite. It is much more quiet than the other two and the attachments are very handy. I'm not really a fan of the way to empty the debris, but will probably get used to it.

4th Dyson

My 80 yr old mom tried out my V8 Animal and fell in love. It’s easy for her to maneuver, no tripping. She loves seeing how much dirt is being picked up. Very powerful.
The only thing I would add: sometimes friends stay in our cabin and use the vac. I’m a bit concerned that the “empty pull and close process” isn’t intuitive enough. They can easily break it if they attempt to open and close it the wrong way or in the wrong order. So far it hasn’t happened.

Wow. Best vacuum cleaner by a long shot!

I purchased the V8 Absolute last week and have used it every other day. It is the "absolute" best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. Lightweight, powerful, easy to empty. I can sweep my entire first floor (all hardwood) in about 5-6 minutes and upstairs (carpeting) in about 10. The heads are very maneuverable so getting into nooks and crannies is easy. The cordless feature is terrific - no fumbling with cords. I can go right up the wood staircase with ease. I use the maximum power setting for entry rugs - really gets them clean. It's actually fun to vacuum! (and my wife loves that I love doing it - since that's one of my household chores). I have only to see how the battery holds up over time. You cannot swap out the batteries (I am sure Dyson has a good reason for this), but I would love it if you could have two batteries ready to go and swap one out if needed or the other dies. Overall, worth every penny spent so far!
