We just moved into our home and needed something for both tile and carpet as well as something that could reach the hard to get to areas. This fits the bill perfectly. The only drawback I have is that the battery does not last the full 40 minutes thus the 4 star instead of the 5.
Now I need to figure out where I can use the regular corded Dyson that we ahve had for a few years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was really surprised at how well it worked on the rugs. Picked up a lot of dirt and hair.

Battery life is not worth it.

I bought this in 2017. At first I loved it(it was my first cordless) but slowly I've started to hate it(I'm giving up with the frustration and buying a different vacuum, probably different brand).
Max power has the ultimate suction but I hope you only need it for like 5 minutes. Low power lasts about 30 mins but doesn't give good suction so ya end up going over the same spot multiple times.
What makes this worse is the fact that charging takes 4 hours! According to Dyson the battery lasts up to 40 minutes, so the charging is approximately 1 hour = 10 mins of go time... that's ridiculous. It would definitely be better if it at least took 1 1/2 or 2 hours to charge. Considering the fact, most of the time I can only get half the job done.
The handle also gives me blisters on my thumb, no matter which hand I use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, February 26, 2021
Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for sharing your review of the Dyson V8 Absolute. We're sorry that you've found the run time that the V8 offers to be disappointing. While MAX power does provide you with a powerful boost of suction - for larger debris or more stubborn messes - the trade-off is a shorter run time, roughly 7 minutes. In regular power mode you should find that suction is sufficient for most household messes. You'll have up to 40 minutes of fade-free run time, depending on which tool you're using. The motorized tools will offer roughly 30 minutes of run time.
One thing we do recommend to help ensure longevity out of your battery will be ensuring that your machine is not plugged in to charge directly after use, as charging the battery while still warm can ultimately result in damage to the battery over time. Also, as a reminder, Dyson backs all new machines from an authorized retailer with a free 2-year guarantee. Rest assured, the battery of a Dyson cordless vacuum can certainly be removed and replaced in the event that it is ever needed. Along with including our contact details directly on our machines, we also do make ourselves available to assist via live chat on our website as well as through 24-hour email support. Please consider emailing us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com. We will be in touch.
Best Wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

When a product is so easy to use and does such a great job it makes you want to use it! I have owned many other Dysons and this one is my favorite.
I can give the whole place a quick go over and it still has power to spare!
I would recommend this to a friend!
