Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

I have a few stick vacs in different areas of the house and this is replacing one of them. It runs about ten minutes on high, which I expected, because all of mine run about that long on high. It doesnt charge as quickly as another that I have, it takes over an hour and a half to fully charge. There is a charging indicator of lights on the side of the handle that shows how far from fully charged it is. Charging is easy just plug into the back of the handle. I do wish it charged more quickly. What I like about this one compared to my others is that the beater brush attachment to vacuum rugs/floor is FAR superior to any that I own. It really picks stuff up! The attachments go on and off easily with the press of a button. This is actually much easier than any of my others. While they all have a button to push, this one I can do with one finger, very easily, to release the attachment. This one is very easy to dump the canister and clean both filters. Very easy. Im on the fence about the trigger. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I dont. To operate this you have to constantly press the trigger. I like it because to stop it if I have to move furniture I just take my finger off the trigger and it stops. Other times I dislike it because, not to be a wimp, but sometimes my finger gets fatigued from pressing it for ten minutes. I know, I know. Maybe theres a way to not have to press the trigger constantly, but I wouldnt know because mine didnt come with any instructions. The suction power is excellent! It also comes with a wall hanger to hold the stick vac and attachments. If it gets clogged it would be extremely easy to dislodge the clog because you can easily access all the parts of the vacuum/hose.

I love that it is light weight and works wonderful on picking up dirt and the suction on cleaning the carpets!

I rented a condo in Florida this year they had this Dyson in the unit... I loved it! I came home and bought one for myself and am not disappointed. The only issue I have with the vacuum itself is that it says that it has a 40 minute charge. Ive discovered that I can only vacuum one floor of my house at a time before it runs out of battery life (about 15 minutes). Mine was obviously built in Mexico because ALL of the directions came in Spanish so I had to figure out how to put it together and hang it up without instructions. I ended up calling Dyson directly and they sent me online videos which were perfect. I love the vacuum, I just wish it held the charge as long as its advertised to do.

Product quit after 2 months. Dyson is a good brand, just not sure about who I got it from

My starting point is having an old Dyson ball vacuum cleaner. That was great when we had carpet because of the suction power but now that we have wood and tile floors I really need something a bit more versatile. The stick vacuum takes up less space in the closet, easy to use that the kids can vacuum as part of their chores, and I love that I can use the small detached vacuum for the car and sofa…getting all those kiddy krumps.

It certainly has power .. you will notice it compared to other brands. But it 40 min battery last only 20 minutes if you use full power and takes a while to charge. I returned mine and got a corded one.

Totally unacceptable. I was given and defective machine and still get charged $85 for a restocking fee? This should be criminal. What an absolute joke.

nothing will stop this bad boy. ive thrown everything i can at it and its still standing strong and gets any job done well. pulls more hair and debris out of carpet and upholstery than any other ive seen

Just what I needed for short jobs. It comes with a convenient hanger to put it up on the wall & the charger threads through that. It came with a 2 yr. warranty and was easy to register. The quick start guide was great and within a couple of minutes I was using it. It doesnt hold a charge for too long, maybe 10 minutes, but thats enough vacuuming for me. I use a robot vacuum to do most areas but it doesnt do corners or around furniture legs so the combo is working for me.

Nothing about it not to like!!!!
