my second stick from Dyson. 2012 model pales in comparison to this new one. Lots of attachments that I won’t use, but loving it!

WORST VACUUM EVER!!!
on October 29, 2019
Posted by: MOMS3GUYS
Gender:Female
THIS IS THE WORST VACUUM WE HAVE EVER OWNED. DOESN'T EVEN PICK UP LIGHT DUST AND DIRT FROM OUR HARDWOOD FLOORS!! BATTERY LIFE DOES NOT MEET THE PRODUCT INFO. GET MAYBE 5 MINUTES WHEN USING THE MAX SETTING SINCE THAT IS THE ONLY SETTING THAT WILL PICK UP ANYTHING! NOW IT PULSATES WHEN I AM VACUUMING ON REGULAR SETTING AND THEN DIES!! NOT WORTH WHAT WE PAID FOR IT!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, October 30, 2019
Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. I am sorry to read your review and learn how disappointed you've been with your V8 Absolute. The Dyson V8 Absolute features a direct-drive cleaner head, with gentle carbon fiber bristles safe for any flooring type, but powerful enough to pick up debris from both bare floors and carpets. It also comes with the soft roller head which was engineered specifically for your hard floor surfaces.
While the machine will offer less run time in MAX power mode, most households find standard power sufficient for everyday messes. When using your machine in MAX with the direct-drive Motorhead, run time will be approximately 7 minutes. Dyson Absolute variants also come equipped with a mini motorized head which is designed to pick up pet hair from furniture and stairs. You can also use this tool with the machine in MAX power for optimum pick-up, if you find that standard power is leaving pet hair behind.
We'd value the opportunity to assist you, to make sure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com. We're keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Awesome Cordless

I vacuum every day and wanted another vacuum I could easily transport between levels of home. This is my second Dyson and I couldn't be happier with it. I realized quickly if I wanted to make the power last longer I needed to vacuum in the lower power which is fine in most cases since I vacuum daily. I love, love, love the duster extension. Makes it super convenient to run around my house and dust all baseboards, windowsills, etc. I will say, because of the limited power time you have with each charge, I would not replace my standard vacuum (which also happens to be a Dyson). Also, the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because you are currently unable to purchase an extra battery pack.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My High Expectations Meet Hard Reality
on August 27, 2018

I've used the Dyson for a little over a week and ultimately find that I am disappointed in performance of the V8. While the V8 looks great and is easy to use, my disappointment ultimately stems from the subpar battery life, the dismal suction power, and the poor performance on cleaning carpets. I currently own a canister vacuum that has great suction. To get comparable suction, I had to have my V8 set to max mode. The problem with max mode, though, is that the battery does not last for more than 7 minutes. At 7 minutes, I almost was able to clean my entire SUV. If I use the extended suction mode, I get more time but then the unit struggles to pick up dirt in highly soiled areas.
I noted that carpet performance is poor. We have a fair amount of carpets in the house. Compared to my canister vacuum, the Dyson underperforms in truly deep-cleaning the carpets. Part of the problem is the suction issue, but a big part of the problem is that the height of the head is 1) not adjustable, 2) the motor head is light and often glides over the carpet, and 3) the motor itself that turns the brush roll seems to lose power in thicker carpet.
The V8 has its place in the home, but honestly I cannot say this is the only vacuum you will need in your home. Really this should be your secondary vacuum that is used as a quick convenience to pulling out the corded vacuum.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect choice!

It's a gift for myself. Receiving it, I can easily figure out why many people have loved Dyson's cordless. Holding a trigger more than 10 minutes, I felt slightly inconvenient. I would recommend Dyson think a locking system on the trigger.
