Battery doesn't last
on August 9, 2021
Posted by: Millie87
Gender:Female
Love the suction/power however, the battery does NOT last. I've already changed it out twice! I cant even vacuum 1/2 my living room and it dies yet I charge it all day and night long. It blows out hot air and kind of burns you hand a little bit. I wish they had a corded stick vacuum, that is the only way I would ever buy another one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Millie, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're happy to hear that you've been pleased with the suction that you get from the V8 Absolute cord-free. The V8 models offer two powerful suction modes; regular and MAX, ensuring that you always have the right balance of power and performance when needed. In MAX suction mode you do receive a boost of power and suction for larger debris or more stubborn messes. We would not recommend using the mode for everyday vacuuming, as you will find that it does only provide about 7 minutes of run time which is generally not enough to vacuum a whole room. Regular suction mode provides enough power for your household vacuuming, and offers up to 30-40 minutes of run time, depending on if you're using one of the motorized floor tools.
It would be normal to feel warm air coming from the motor of the machine; especially considering that this part of the machine is held in the hand. When using MAX mode the air will be much warmer, due to the extra power used to run the machine with stronger suction and power.
With regard to our corded machines, Dyson will still make, sell and support upright corded machines. However, we are no longer investing R&D resources into designing future corded machines. We’ve spent 25 years perfecting upright vacuums, and we’re confident they’re the best on the market. So we’ve turned our eyes to the future, which is cord-free.
We would value the opportunity to ensure that your vacuum is performing as designed. Please feel free to email askdysonUS@dyson.com we are happy to provide you with support.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Cheaply made. Bought it less than a month ago and wish I should have bought the larger model. Lack of suction.

Hello Dave, this is Kelly with Dyson. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with your recent purchase of the Dyson V8 Absolute. We definitely wouldn't expect to hear that you've found this machine to be cheaply made or constructed. 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
Your V8 will also include two suction modes, regular and MAX. You should find that the suction provided in regular mode is sufficient for your everyday vacuuming. MAX mode will provide a boost of suction, which is intended for larger debris or more stubborn messes.
We're keen to learn more about your experience to provide support. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at askdysonus@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Great suction!
on May 23, 2022

For a cordless vacuum, the power on the Dyson V8 Absolute is great. I would rate it 5 stars, except for one thing: the fact that you have to hold the button in the whole time you're vacuuming. I'm a healthy 76-year-old with mild arthritis in my hands. The Dyson is a bit heavy, but I could handle the weight if I didn't have to keep the button pressed. An On/Off switch would be a great improvement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my vacuum! It's always handy and very convenient. It's light weight and very easy to use. I find myself using it way more often than my big heavy vacuum.

Powerful little vaccum
on February 16, 2017
Posted by: Entwive
Gender:Female
I love the ability to dust everything in my path. Vacuum transitions easily from floors to lampshades and shelves. Does a great job with corners. I didn't give 5 stars because of the trigger. I would really prefer that it locked. Also, the trigger loses power randomly. Other than this, I donly love the versatility and power.

So convenient!!

No hassle taking out this vacuum! It was such a task vacuuming with my old vacuum, I would end up sweeping more but even that with three kids is hard to find time for! I love the convenience! it takes me two minutes to grab off the charger and vacuum a room and I don't have to worry about my crawling baby trying to chew on any chords! I had my doubts about the power of a cordless vaccine but it surprised me! Suction power lasted longer than expected and did a better job on the regular high power setting than I had anticipated! I rarely have to put it on max power and Nothing beats the convenience!
I would recommend this to a friend!
