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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful little vaccum

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!

Great Cordless Vac
on February 20, 2021

Gender:Male
I’ve had the vacuum about two weeks and love it. I was skeptical that it would work well on hardwood, but it does a great job. Nice to have a rotating head to tidy up the area rugs along the way. It has also replaced a noisy dusty old corded handheld that I’ve used on stairs for years. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you are wondering whether to get the V6 or the V8, read this review.
Pardon the novel, but I am going to give an honest review of my experiences with my new beast, the Dyson V8 Absolute, and my dad's - a V6 Absolute.
I did my due diligence about which one I wanted to claim as my own.
Here is a rundown of my findings - read on for more info.
Both of these vacuums will get the job done, conveniently. If you are wondering if the cost is worth it, it absolutely was to me. Both the V6 and V8 Absolute's were listed for a very similar price when I was looking, so I did some research and used my dad's V6 a few times for reference.
V6 Absolute:
I was impressed with the suction for the size of the vacuum, and loved the cordless aspect. It sucked everything up equal to my corded stand-up clunker, if not better. I found that the battery life wasn't an issue unless the entire 3 floors of my dad's house needed done, or when using the brush rollers for an extended period, or on Max mode. Waiting for a charge was rough, but it was nice to have a break. The canister size was small, but I was able to empty it once per floor (my dad has no pets). Long hair did tend to get stuck in the canister and I had to pull it out. I found the vacuum much quieter than my clunky corded one, but you could hear it running through a door. All in all, I was impressed: 8.5/10.
V8 Absolute:
I decided to get the V8 based on the upgrades: it was quieter than the V6, had a little bit larger canister with a new feature that reduced hair getting stuck, and had a longer battery life. Where the V6 impressed, the V8 awed. I will go into detail below, but I am happy at my choice of the V8: 9.5/10.
I bought the V8 Absolute a few weeks ago, and have used it every day, no joke. While my old clunky guy worked alright, I hated getting it out and lugging it around the house, only managing to do so once a week, if that. My small cordless handheld always lost power and suction (you could hear it dying – WOOOOoooo…) after just getting the pet hair off my couch!
It is so, SO much easier to keep up on cleaning the floors with this cordless beast.
It is almost *fun* to vacuum.
I have a 1300 sqft main floor (and two shedding dogs!) and yesterday I was able to vacuum all of the carpet, wood, and rugs, dust the baseboards, and even get the pet hair off my huge sectional couch on a single charge (there was one light of charge left when I finished and plugged it in). Best part, there was no audible WOOOOoooo, no loss in suction. Beautiful. The attachments are also beyond easy to change.
Speaking of the couch, this baby fits right under mine (3" clearance), all the way to the wall with ease.
My favorite part of my V8 is the convenience. And powerful suction. It is cordless with long battery life. It is also SUPER quiet, even compared to my dad's V6. Oh, and did I mention ease of use?
I see dust/dog hair, I just pull it from the mount and debris is gone in no time. I put up a frosted Christmas tree this year (never again, there is snow everywhere and it is MADDENING!) and my Dyson sucks up the fake snow swiftly and completely.
My old vacuum used to smell like dog hair whenever I vacuumed it up, but my V8 doesn't put out any smell. The filter works great.
The only downsides I have found with this baby are that the mount only holds 2 extra attachments (darn-it), and the size of the canister. One of my dogs is a German shepherd, golden retriever, yellow-lab mix and she sheds *horrendously* - her hair fills the canister up on a room-by-room basis, so I find myself emptying it very often. However, it is SO stinking easy to empty that it is barely a hassle. I have started carrying a small trash/grocery bag room to room and dumping it as I go. The stray hair does get stuck here and there, which I then have to fish out, but it is nowhere near the frequency my dad’s V6 did. Convenient.
The canister doesn't fill up as quickly if you don't have a massive amount of pet hair, which I found by dropping uncooked rice on a freshly vacuumed floor.
My dad’s V6 was already an improvement on my large stand-up vacuum, but where the V6 impressed, the V8 awed. It is SO QUIET!! Seriously, I vacuumed the hallway and my roommate didn’t wake up, separated only by a door. If you have the brush roll attachments on it, they do make more noise, but it is seriously SO quiet.
Vacuuming more often is so much easier - instead of spending hours vacuuming the entire house once a week, lugging around a heavy stand-up, I am spending minutes on a room a day or when I see a problem area. I remember putting off vacuuming with my old big mama - even when I saw pet hair - because I didn’t want to get her out. The V8 is just so easy, it takes minutes.
Another huge reason I love my new V8 is how easy it is to clear hair out of the bristles. I remember flipping my old vacuum over and spending 30+ minutes going at it with scissors. With the V8, it is so easy to remove - yes remove - the entire rod and even the long hair comes off with little hassle. It goes back together just as easy and is practically as good as new!
If you are trying to decide between the V6 and V8, weigh the pros and cons. My dad has a huge house and loves his, but he has no pets. I have a smaller house, 4 people and 2 pets and opted to spend a little more for the upgraded V8. I would have been happy with the V6, but am glad I chose the model with quieter operation, longer battery life, larger canister, and the easy-empty feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!
