The V8 vacuums great! Emptying the canister is very difficult though. The design to empty the canister is a very poor design. The canister either doesn't try to open or sticks most times. It is very frustrating. I expected a higher quality product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello this is Steve from Dyson. I am sorry to hear it is difficult to release the debris from the clear bin. Please visit the following link for a video on emptying the clear bin. Emptying the bin is a 2 step process:

I received the V8 Absolute for Christmas.
This vacuum so easy to use, I get it out everyday! We recently put in new laminate flooring throughout our home. Now, if I see a speck on the floor I grab the V8!
I received my Dyson v8 Absolute last week, and I can tell you it is the absolute in portable cord-free vacuum cleaners. This is not my first Dyson product; I also own the Dyson upright vacuum cleaner; the AM 09 portable fan/heater and the first Dyson portable vacuum cleaner.
The new Dyson v8 Absolute does a wonderful job. I was so afraid that I would be unable to use it on the area rugs that I have due to the extra power and suction, but it vacuums them beautifully.
My home also has hardwood floors, and I am thrilled with the new Dyson attachment with the soft covered roller head that allows me to vacuum the hardwood without the worry of putting scratches on the hardwood or ceramic tile floors.
It is so easy to empty with just the flip of a button. I particularly like how the inside filter raises up to easily clean when emptying the bin.
The attachments detach so easily, and I am eager to clean my car with this machine.
If you are thinking of buying a new vacuum cleaner, I heartily recommend this one. You will not regret it; it makes life so much easier.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love Dyson designs. Super easy to use. Great cleaner. Only disappointments where to store additional tools and the trigger you must continuously press to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great vacuum, Wrong details about it on Dyson.com

I really love the vacuum. Be smart and get this one! Does the same job as upgraded models. The only thing my V8 absolute "Iron" came in simple black box, unlike other videos of unboxing I've seen (which I don't care really). Bottom motorized attachments differ, no rotating slim brush (rubber "wiper" instead) . Not a big deal again, just confusing. NOW, the BIG deal is about the battery life! Dyson website promises charging time 3.5 hours for V8, when mine took almost 5 hours to charge. !?!?!?
