Best attributes of V8 Absolute: 2 power levels, great suction especially on high, bagless clear chamber to view when full, quick & simple to empty contents without coming in contact with debris, HEPA filter & prefilter, easy to snap on or off any attachments, versatile and well designed attachments provided such as the up top adapter which bends to reach difficult areas, quickly transforms from an upright stick vacuum to a hand held to clean my car or stairs, convenient wall docking station to store and charge when not in use, and 2 year warranty with excellent Dyson support.
Con: Very few. Cost, but you get what you pay for, less than 10 minute run time when on max suction but 40 minutes on normal suction (60 min on newer more expensive models), 5 hr charge time if you didn't finish vacuuming but can buy a second battery. Don't like the yellow tube color but this was model I wanted.
Very satisfied overall with the very portable V8 Absolute.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this about a month ago. I easily unwrapped, installed it, and let it charge. It was easy to learn to use it. It works perfectly. Since we have a small house, it is adequate as our primary vacuum.
They tend to every detail even things you don't think of! Great choice of useful tools. Much quieter than my V6 Animal plus stronger and long lasting. Great charging dock which stores tools. Hard floor head is a great addition.

Wish I bought one sooner

I bought my second one a week ago. I say second as I own two homes and purchased one several months ago for my 1st home loved it so much I had to get one for my other house.
I have 5 dogs and usually 1 or two foster dogs at any given time. My house constantly has a coating of dog hair across the floor. With the Dyson cordless I no longer have that problem. It is so easy to run it around the floor every day. Having tile, hardwood and carpet its a breeze to switch between attachments. It holds a charge for a longer time then I expected and does an amazing job or getting all the dog hair off, floors, carpets and yes couches. I highly recommend the V8 and wish I had bought mine sooner.

Works great as a broom on our tile floors

We bought this to better sweep our tile floors since brooms just leave way too much behind and don’t get everything. The V8 is so fast and picks up on the very first pass.
The first time we used it, the bin filled really fast with so much the broom left behind, I had to empty it three times. Now daily sweeping with the V8 gives me just a little in the bin unless there is a lot of tracked in dirt, smashed chips, or other debris on the floor. Sweeping time in now a fraction of what it was before and the floor is cleaner and ready for mopping.
My only concern is how well it will hold up without breaking parts. I try to be gentle with it, but others using it are not always gentle because it wasn’t their money spent.
I would recommend this to a friend!
