This vacuum was an extreme disappointment. The description of the battery time is very inaccurate. The battery lasts at best 5 minutes when on full power (which is usually necessary for me to have proper pickup)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, November 20, 2021
Hello Laura, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've been disappointed with your Dyson V8 cordless. Your vacuum, while smaller, lightweight and cordless, can still pack the same power as a corded vacuum cleaner. This will all be thanks to the powerful V8 motor which spins at 110,000rpm, providing you with powerful suction, making our cordless machines the most powerful cordless vacuums.
Dyson V8 models also feature two suction modes; MAX and standard. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. MAX power is really only needed for tough cleaning jobs. Also, while many do use Dyson cordless machines as their main vacuum at home, if you prefer a longer run time, we’d recommend one of our compact uprights or canister models.
We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Happy Husband, Happy Home :)

I bought this for my husband because he struggled to empty the canister on our old V6. He would often get the dust all over the trash bin when emptying the bottomed-opened canister of the V6. It was also compounded by the lint balls that would lodge up the side and have to be pulled out. This newer V8 version makes that process easier and he is very happy with it. I recommend all women purchase one of these vacuums for the man in their life. They shouldn't have to struggle with routine housework if you can afford to buy them one of these impressively engineered vacuums. Well done Dyson.

Perfect for my hardwood floors

Have pets and this Dyson works just fine to clean my hardwood floors. Used attachments for cleaning dusty venetian blinds and a through house cleaning. My condo is one floor and no other vacuum is necessary.
