Dyson V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum in Silver/Nickel

Ending my long-term vacuum cord battle is a delightful perk of the Dyson plus it cleans well and I like the attachment variety. The battery life is awful, however; even when I frequently dump the convenient bin, I can only get about a 30-minute run.

The carpet attachment won't spin on normal pile carpets (not heavy or thick), particularly at high speed, rendering the vacuum useless for this purpose. The low speed setting affords only limited suction. High speed has tremendous suction; but drains the battery much faster. The "pet hair" attachment is good for stairs, but only on high. It easily stalls out if any pressure is applied. Takes some time to get the hang of the process to empty the collected dirt. It does pick up an amazing amount. Seems to be a solid build and looks like it will last. But overpriced for limited use.

The vacuum stopped working after <10 minutes and the battery light was flashing, after having been fully charged. The site says "Up to 40 min run time*" without any additional context. You need to look at the manual to see that you have up to 7min in "max mode" using a floor attachment. 25 min of a floor attachment in normal mode. The only way to get 40 min is to use the attachments for crevices/couches. I'm unsure how this is being marketed as helpful for a full home, as there's no way to clean more than one room in seven minutes. Additionally, note that you need to hold the trigger down constantly for the vacuum to stay on, which isn't comfortable.

My dyson is not working and Im keeping touch with them, but problem is not solve it. the costume service give me a very hard time, product is great if work, but if you try to contact them its hard. I need a new battery and maybe a new torque head.I sen video and picture to them. I never will buy from them again.

Has to be one of the more overhyped products/brands, as much as I want to like it ( at least in this category). Constantly clogging, even with filter cleaned. Designed in such a way that you have to reach your fingers up into the area where the dirt is clogging against the container, and unclog it manually. Who wants to reach their hands up inside a vacuum bag? Not me. The bottom door is regularly falling open when it had appeared to be clicked shut, and then you're vacuuming with the dirt flying out the bottom. Sometimes it leaves dirt treads on one side where you're vacuuming. Not the filter area leaks of mildew, which I can't seem to fix. Getting a new filter, but the whole area seems tainted. High power charge is extremely short lived, and almost always clogs, or pulses on low battery mode for every single use. Feels a bit like 'my first vacuum', a gift for a college kid who wants their cleaning eq to look cool. I'm guessing the more high powered models are significantly better, but the claims on suction....def don't feel legit to me.

Does exactly what is says. Would buy this vacuum again. Easy transition from different attachments, lite weight and has the power of any full size vacuum and more.

I love the Dyson. It works great on both the carpet and wood floor. Super easy to charge and very light. Would def give a 5 star review if the part was not missing. The only bummer is the long suction tool was not in the box.

The unit seems to work well. Battery life is 40 minutes and it finds all kinds dirt. We do not like the grip because it rubs a blister on knuckle of your thumbs. We will be returning the unit to purchase something else.
