WORST VACUUM EVER
on February 19, 2021
Posted by: MEM15
Battery life is short. Maybe runs for 10 minutes before the battery dies...then it takes over an hour to charge. Wouldn't clean a studio apartment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, February 20, 2021
Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that in your use, you have found the run time with the V8 Animal to be too short. Your machine does feature two suction modes, Max and regular. In the Max suction mode (which the machine will be switched on to, right out of the box), you'll be receiving a boost of suction, great for larger debris or more stubborn messes. The trade-off for this boosted suction is less run time, about 7 minutes or so. In regular suction mode, which we recommend for your everyday vacuuming, your run time will be 30-40 minutes, depending on if you're using a motorized tool/attachment.
We're keen to go over your machine with you and learn more about your experience, as we'd like to help ensure that your Dyson is performing properly. Please consider emailing us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Great suction, but shocks you during use.

I bought this last week (07Dec) and have just started using it regularly.
Today, 14Dec, it shocked me while using it. I saw sparks jumping from the charging port to the palm of my hand during use. I had to use a rubber glove to continue using it.
In my mind, this makes this vacuum almost unusable while bare handed. This is not good engineering.
Dyson -- fix this! I spent a considerable amount of money on this vacuum cleaner and do not expect it to shock me during use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Light and efficient!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no problems with battery life as I don’t use the “max” option unless necessary. It has great suction and perfect for getting almost anywhere in the house. And yes, the cat hair comes up easily. As a senior I appreciate the weight and how easy it is to clean and maintain.

Cleans great

I bought this to replace an older model. I was impressed with the improvements to the design with emptying the container. The new design allows for all hair and dirt to easily be removed where as the older version I had some minor issues getting everything out. The cleaning ability of this machine is amazing so when we needed a vacuum at work, I recommended the Dyson and they purchased it.

Lives up to its expectations

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had the V8 Animal Pro for 2 weeks now, and it's lived up to expectations. We have a 1,200 SF apartment, which is mostly hardwood and an 8x10 area rug. The swivel head lets you get under furniture, which is awesome. The bins fills twice because it PICKS UP EVERYTHING. We have a kitten that sheds lightly- this thing picks up all the hair.
Everyone was sneezing from the dust and dander, BUT NOT ANYMORE. Cordless is awesome and the battery is more than enough for 1,200 SF. Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently bought a vacuum from another maker and I got what I paid for. Wasted my money. The Dyson was a very good price and got a lot more than I paid for. Also great warranty and support.

Powerful, Thoughtful and Convenient

I was very excited to receive my Dyson V8 Animal in the mail and set to charging it right away. I appreciated the light feature that shows the progress of the charge. The vacuum has two settings "regular" and "max." I was impressed with the battery life and quietness of the vacuum on the "regular" setting and found that it was plenty of suction for everyday crumbs and pet hair. My favorite feature is how the vacuum head lays flat on the ground even when putting the entire stick down to vacuum under couches or coffee tables. I don't think I have ever been able to get under these spaces without moving the furniture and this is a very well thought out and appreciated feature. I am also able to switch from the hardwood to the carpet without changing machines or vacuum heads and still feel like I am getting good suction and cleaning on both surfaces. The Dyson V8 comes with a variety of attachments for crevices, upholstery, curtains, etc. The stick is great for avoiding bending down to the floor and for getting the dust from the ceiling fans or spiderwebs from the corners. I also like that I can remove the stick if I want to use it as a hand vacuum for the car or other tight spaces. Overall, I am very impressed by the thoughtfulness and power of this machine. It really does allow you to clean any and all spaces of your home.
