Poor suction power, poor battery life, you can’t recharge the unit while it is attached to the docking station, Unit overheats while in the super suction mode and then shuts off
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, August 13, 2021
Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you're having so many issues with the V8 Animal. Regarding suction and battery life, your machine does offer two suction modes, regular and MAX. In MAX mode, your machine will receive a boost of suction power, making it great for using on larger debris or more stubborn messes. It's not unusual for the machine to feel warm to the touch in this mode, due to the extra power the battery and motor both provide. We do recommend allowing the machine time to cool down prior to placing it back on the charger.
While it's true you cannot use the machine while it's charging, it should be charging while it's on the dock. If your machine is not charging properly, it's possible the charger pin isn't snapped firmly into place and therefore it's not making sufficient contact with the machine, while docked.
We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience along with ensuring that your vacuum is performing as intended. Please do not hesitate to contact us at askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are keen on providing you with support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this about a week ago, I needed something lighter and cordless due to some back and knee issues. This has been the best vacuum I've ever purchased. It cleans seamlessly navigating from my carpet to my hardwood floors and the effortless changing of its attachments amazing! My only regret is I didn't purchase this years ago!
I would recommend this to a friend!

GREAT VACUUM, only one dislike.

Purchased this vacuum a month ago, after replacing carpet with laminate flooring in the house. Does a fantastic cleaning on the new laminate, with area rug coverings, and existing hardwood floors. Can't believe the amount of dog hair that it picks up, never knew it was there. The vacuum battery does last for covering 1500 square feet of area. My only dislike about this vacuum, is the trigger design. It is not a locking trigger, so it must be held down constantly for use. A non-locking trigger I can understand, good idea, but the bottom rest on the trigger guard tends to rub on the side of your finger during use. A longer bar type activation trigger would be a better comfort for use, employing one or two fingers and no bottom finger guard to rub the side of finger during use. This would be more of a comfort for arthritic finger/hand use, from experience I can say.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Initial Impression
on November 9, 2017
Posted by: 10donitis
(Not many uses just yet) I bought this product for its quiet operation mentioned in other reviews and for the design with household pets in mind. I actually do not have pets, but have very long hair (I am the animal for that matter.) Yes, it is quiet, and it sounds like an item brought out of a space ship. I’ve always found the noise from the traditional vacuum cleaners to be a source of stress, so this is a huge plus. Along with the convenience of cordless, I think I will vacuum more often. I am amazed with its effectiveness and efficiency as I stroke it on my carpet. The piece of innovation fills the collector very quickly. Love how easy “out & back-in” the brush roller is for dealing with my would-up hair. A quarter is all you need here. Now it’s time to empty it; pulling up on the latch handle, the inner working chamber lifts up, and the bottom flap opens, dumping its content like a bombing aircraft (sneeze x 5) – this is rather comical especially after watching a well thought out equipment in action. The bottom flap release could have been manual, however I’m not taking out a star because of this. I will simply rest the bottom on the edge of the trash bin before releasing it, next time on. The packaging/QC is superb. Only time will tell the longevity of the battery. All in all, I’d say "buy it", people. Money well spent.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!

I have 4 dogs---1-Lab, 2-Malti-poos, 1-Australian Shepherd---and the Lab sheds ALL the time. I had purposely not vacuumed since I ordered it online. It worked better than I expected. It picked up all of the hair on the hardwoods and did as good of a job as my full sized vacuum on the carpet. My girlfriend has one and she has been raving about it---her Mom lives with her family and has 3 cats. She brought it to church (where we both work) and I tried it out. That evening my hubby started looking online for a deal. I have only used it once, but it has made a believer out of me. Looking forward to many years of use.
