I purchased the V8 Animal about a week ago and absolutely love it! It is so lightweight, easy to assemble and to change tools. I've given my other vacuums away since this is the only vacuum I will ever need. I just wish I had purchased this sooner!

Almost makes vacuuming fun!

better suction than any vac i have owned in my 60+ years! So easy to use with it being cordless. Wish it came with a 2nd filter since the filter needs to dry for 24 hours, that way you could keep vacuuming while one is drying.
Amazing how much it picks up - it "shames" you!

Amazing for 1 year then everything breaks

Bought this 2 years ago and after 1 year the plastic kept breaking starting with the purple pole, then the wheels, and now the motor back part seal is no longer sealing. Everything has been replaced at cost to me! The last defective part the motor was the last straw I will never buy a Dyson again, it's not worth the money when it dIes after 2 years.

The latest piece to break
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, May 28, 2021
Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've had so many issues with your Dyson V8. It's rather unusual to hear of all the problems you've had with pieces breaking. Dyson cord-free machines are made from polycarbonate ABS - the same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. They are tough, so we subject them to hours of testing, including drop and impact tests. Dyson machines are built to withstand years of residential household use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3iXRFizaz8. As you'll see from the video, these machines go through some punishing tests to ensure their durability.
As a general reminder, the 2-year manufacturer limited warranty that we include with our cord-free machines is in effect from the original date of purchase, and covers the vacuum for both parts and labor for manufacturer defects, when used for private household purposes in accordance with the owner manual. However, the warranty does not cover wear/tear damage, cleaning the machine, accidental damage, tools and accessories, or maintenance of the machine which includes filter maintenance and blockage removal.
If you have any additional questions, or require further assistance, please feel free to email us at questions@dyson.com.
Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

We love the Dyson V8

We have had a V7 for years, and decided to treat ourselves to a V8. Whoever starts first now gets the V8. We live in the country and have 2 large dogs, boots, and other pets that bring in lots of dust and sand. Low power on the v8 does it all.

Best Vacuum
on December 28, 2017

I did a lot of research on cordless vacuums that would specifically work great for pet hair. One month ago, I decided to purchase the Dyson V8 Animal, and I absolutely love it so far! I use it daily to clean up pet hair and dirt. The power behind this lightweight machine is awesome. It also comes with a lot of really great attachments. My only complaint is that if you use the "Max Suction" setting, the battery only lasts a maximum of 15 minutes. To be able to use the 40 minute run time, you can only have it set at "High Suction", which does the job just fine.

Battery
on February 18, 2021

I’ve had this vacuum for just under 2 years and for the past 2 months the battery has been dying in less than 5 min (on high suction) as soon as I put it on Max suction it dies. It’s an exciting vacuum to use in the beginning but as you have for it a bit the quality goes down very quick and there is barely any warranty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've begun to notice a shorter than usual run time with your Dyson V8 Animal. Lithium-Ion batteries are subject to degradation over time. This is completely normal and occurs with any device that uses this type of battery. Battery degradation is not a fault of the machine. It happens to all batteries in everyday items, such as mobile phones and laptops. Unfortunately, we are unable to advise how long each component will last in each individual's home. That being said, we would expect the battery to outlast your machine's 2-year guarantee. We would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience, and to provide you with assistance. Please feel free to reach out to askdysonUS@dyson.com. We look forward to your correspondence.
