Customer Reviews for Dyson - Refurbished Excellent - V8 Absolute Cord-Free Stick Vacuum - Yellow

The V8 is amazing. The suction is great, it's quieter than my previous model and has great attachments. I loved the prior model, but it worked best on hard floors and didn't work very well on carpet. The V8 comes with 2 heads, one for carpet and one for hard floors, and they both work great. I think it works as well on carpet as my upright, and the new head for hard floors is so much better than the DC44 because hair doesn't wrap around it. The other attachments are handy too. I have several dogs that shed and need to vacuum almost every day. The V8 is so convenient for quick clean ups. The battery lasts long enough to clean quite a few areas and it recharges pretty quickly. Even though it's kind of expensive, I think it's well worth the price. I have had several Dyson products and they are all still working great. Dyson just keeps improving! Also, Dyson has great customer service.

What a pleasure and step up from our cordless Animal. The floor vacuum head almost polishes the hardwood floor when we vacuum. Pleasure to vacuum the steps and not run out of power. The machine is more substantial than our V4 and yet easy to maneuver. If you are looking for a machine to tackle the living room or kitchen floor, have the battery life to complete more than just one room and the suction power challenging larger machines, this is the one for you. Smart, slick and performs!

Upgrade!

I have been using the V6 around the house and it picks up dust my other brand of vacuums didn't, plus the ease of use being cordless. I could hardly wait for the V8 as its waste bucket disposal is a much better design. These are amazing vacuums and will be a Dyson vacuum owner for many many years to come.

Scratches hardwood

Scratched my brand new hardwood floors in my brand new house. It doesn’t matter if it’s on low or max suction, it scratched the floor in deep noticeable gashes. If you have faux hardwood or carpet this is fine but we are so upset at the damage done to our floors.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

More headache than it's worth

The cordless feature seems great and convenient in theory. However, this vacuum has a feature that forces a shut off if there is anything obstructing or clogging any of the suction. Unfortunately, this sensor is extrememly over sensitive and the tiniest of items will cause this auto shut off feature to happen (flecks of leaves, several dog hairs, nothing at all, etc). I find that this auto shut off feature happens every single time I use the vacuum and I then have to completely unassembled the thing to find whatever tiny thing is causing it. Sometimes it is nothing at all. The task of doing this every time I use this vacuum is far more headache and time consuming than just using a normal, corded vacuum. Currently, Ive spent the past 30 minutes trying to find the source of the problem for the current vacuum. No avail. Perhaps I have a faulty sensor in mine, but it's so bad that I don't even want to use the vacuum anymore. Sweeping with a broom is easier and faster at this point. I would never buy this item again.

Game Changer!

First time I used the Dyson V8 Absolute it was a game changer when it came to vacuuming. Quiet, maneuverability, and great suction.
Anyone who has hardwood floors and rugs get this, you won't regret it!.

Don't know how I have lived almost 60 years without this vacuum! No more dragging out the corded vacuum and moving the plug multiple times! This vacuum is so versatile, there is an attachment for every need! At first I didn't think the battery life was long enough, but I was using maximum suction! If you use the lower suction, it does an excellent job and lasts plenty long! We have 2 small dogs that both shed, I use it daily! There are attachments to use on the couch, bed, ceiling fans, floor boards, I even use it to dust! Couldn't be happier with this purchase! Our house is so much cleaner now that we have a Dyson V8 absolute!

Improved Design

We had an earlier model but the V8 has superior power and much improved attachments. Having discrete floor and carpet powered heads makes cleaning a snap.
