best vacuum i've ever had. i was concerned about using the trigger mechanism because of arthritis in my hands. There was no problem at all, i simply switch hands when one gets tired. it does an unbelievable job on both wood floors and carpeting. Love the ease of changing brushes and emptying dirt container
I would recommend this to a friend!

Charge time is ridiculous.

I really like the way the vacuum functions, but I can’t vacuum my entire condo on one charge. Then it literally takes several hours to fully charge again and I get only another 20 mins of use. not practical for an everyday cleaner. For the money it costs you should be able to have more than 20 mins of vacuum time.

This vacuum was a birthday gift from my mother. She loves hers and bought a new one. I have a cat and was complaining to my mom about the cat hair - I live this vacuum so much, it’s so convenient and easy- I vacuum everyday.

I bought this for easier use even though I was betraying my tried and true Dyson DC14 Animal. I can't believe how much time this saves me. I have two dogs who shed and it has made a world of difference. Everything is working as planned. Now I can have my friend with her baby over and feel great about letting him crawl on my floors! Fantastic product and easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I would have bought another version

The vaccum works great if you have a small home or are only using it for one specific section of the house for 15mins. I have already expired it run out of battery very quick and I have only use it in High function and it just doesn’t last 20mins. I am not sure if it battery related but I don’t think that’s normal. I would have love to use it for long period as it does say that it lasted 20mins and in reality it does not in my case. I would love to do an exchange to dyson v15 and pay the difference as I would be able use it longer and it doesn’t just clean, it is for hypoallergenic, sanitizing etc much more can be done with the V15. I really would have bought it if my store had it in stock. This V8 is not so great .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Nanette, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you're not having a better experience thus far with your Dyson V8 Absolute. Your machine offers two suction modes; regular and MAX. While MAX does provide a great boost of suction power for larger debris or more stubborn messes, it does give less run time; about 7 minutes on a full charge. We wouldn't expect that MAX suction power is needed for your everyday vacuuming, and you should find that regular suction works well for that. This mode will give you 30-40 minutes of run time, depending on if you're using a motorized floor tool. Having a shorter run time does sound unusual, and we'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you.
Please feel free to reach out to us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We are keen on providing support.
Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Works much better than my old dyson, has more suction and especially like the soft roller attachment for hard floors.

I bought the Dyson V8 because I had a new longhaired kitty and my old vacuum could not get into all the places she would travel. Now I vacuum frequently and have no problem with cat hair.
