Short battery life on max

Nice machine. But I think using on max is best in most cases. Which runs the battery down quickly

Heavy

I find that it is heavy to use with arthritic hands. The suction is not so good with use of the attachments other than for floors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, November 21, 2021
Hello Willow, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've found the V8 cord-free model to be too heavy in your use. This machine has an operational weight of 5.8 pounds, which includes the weight of the floor tool and wand. When using as a handheld, the weight will be reduced. We're also sorry to hear that you've found suction to be lacking. Your machine offers two powerful modes of suction power - regular and MAX. While most households will find suction in regular mode sufficient for everyday cleaning, you may need to place the machine in MAX mode, to receive a boost of suction for larger messes or more stubborn debris.
We're keen to go over your machine with you and learn more about your experience, as we'd like to help ensure that your Dyson is performing properly. Please consider emailing us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Beater bar needs an “off” switch
on November 19, 2021

I would give the vacuum 5 stars if the beater bar turned off when I need it to. The vacuum had good cleaning power, is easy to handle, is very light and compact. It is also easy to clean when needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The most fantastic thing Dyson has ever made

I'm sure everything else is wonderful. I have four of these cordless ones over the years but this is everything I've ever wanted. The problem of emptying the cup easily, solved; quieter, runs longer, feels more substantial, cleans better even though the others were good. I use one of my old ones on my construction site and my contractor and workers are blown away by the old one. But this one is sheer perfection as far as I'm concerned. I love this!!!

WOW. JUST WOW!

When I saw the demo, I hoped that when I got it home it worked almost as good, because sometimes on TV....stuff looks better than it works. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS VACUUM! It works just as good as the TV demo, if not better!!! I have hardwood and carpet and it outperforms my current stand-up, plug-in vacuum! It has pulled so much stuff out of my carpet that my "big" vacuum has never been able to pull! This is the vacuum that will replace ANY vacuum you have in your home right now....and it's CORDLESS!!! Woohoo....Thanks Dyson for making such a superior machine!!! <3

Handy and efficient

I bought to clean up messes from my kids easily and we are getting a dog next month. So I can only speak to how it works with crumbs, dust and normal household debris. I already own an upright Dyson so knew I was buying a reliable brand as ours is 8 years old and still runs great. So after many uses of the V8 animal cord free I absolutely love it! I can easily clean up messes and the suction is perfect along with great run time. I mostly have hardwood throughout with some carpet in bedrooms and it works great on those surfaces. The only area it seems to not work great is on a braided jute rug I have under the kitchen breakfast table. It seems to snag when pulling it back and forth. The plastic is not rounded underneath the head and it snags the braids. Otherwise works great on wool rugs. I debated going with an another brand but glad I didn't waste the money. This vacuum helps me out so much!! A total winner! *Note I wish the trigger had a locking option so I don't get finger cramp from holding down the trigger the entire time to vacuum!

MASTERPIECE

WOW!! I thought our house was clean until I used this vacuum!! It was fabulous in every way!! It is light, powerful, easy to use and easy to empty. It lasted our entire cleanup and amazed me how much gunk it picked up in the short amount of time it took to clean!! We love to do quick hits at our house instead of long drawn out cleanings so it fits our style perfectly!!
I saw some of the other reviews complaining about holding the trigger down to keep the vacuum running - my fingers are strong and I did not find this distracting from this amazing machine!!
I cannot say enough great things about this fabulous creation!! Thank you Dyson!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an absolutely excellent tool that attempts to replace the everyday usefulness of a broom and dustpan without needing the bulky composition of a standard vacuum and succeeds rather well!
Cats, ferrets, kids and adults with long hair creates something of a varied and evolving playing field for messes to clean up and this vacuum not only shines on every front, it makes even tedious cleaning rather simple.
The power of such a small unit is rather impressive. The only time I ever switch it to "Max" is when I'm more or less playing around rather than for needing it to pick up any particular kind of debris.
The battery life is probably the main thing I was worried about since it was the defining factor of whether or not we would purchase the cordless model. I can honestly say it lasts longer than my motivation for vacuuming, and while doing the whole house in one go will generally run it down pretty low, it doesn't gradually decrease it's performance - it's consistent until it completely cuts off.
All in all - impressive and very good at being a vacuum.
I would recommend this to a friend!
