    Good vacuum power and well constructed. But the battery completely died after only two years of use. Dyson has some serious issues to resolve with the batteries in the stick vacuums. This is the second one we've purchased that had a battery die after only two years.

    Awesome Vac unless you're using it on hardwood.

    Love this Vac, except the attachment leaves nasty streaks on my hardwood flooring that doesn't come off after I mop, the mop is awesome but the streaks it leaves after has nearly ruined my floors. This has been very disappointing.

    The attachments are great, although the wall mount does not hold all of them. Picks up pet hair well. My battery run time has already decreased about half, only lasted the rated run time about a month. Glad I bough the extended warranty. Only had enough time to vacuum my sofa dog hair with it at this point now.

      Hello Paula, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum. I'm happy to hear how well the vacuum has performed for you, thus far in your use.

      I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered a short run time with your Dyson V8 Absolute. Your vacuum will come with standard and Max power modes. Our cordless models also have a run-time enhancing light touch trigger which ensures battery power is only used when the trigger is pushed. The total run time will be up to 40 minutes.  

      In Max power run time will be up to 7 minutes, and in standard power, you can expect run times of up to 30-40 minutes depending on which tool or attachments you are using. Having a shorter run time does sound unusual, and we'd value the opportunity to go over your machine with you. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected], and we will be in touch.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I love Dyson, but I don’t have the patience to wait for a vacuum to charge when I’m constantly cleaning up after a 2 year old. It would be nice if you could use the high setting and still have the same battery as in low setting. Great vacuum if you don’t have to use it for long periods of time.

      Hello Pashy, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm so happy to hear how much you love your Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless vacuum. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. Especially when used on bare floors as the MAX power is really only needed for tougher jobs and thicker carpeting. The powerful direct-drive cleanerhead removes ground-in dirt and pet hair from carpets, and self-adjusts to pick up dirt and debris from your bare floors.

      Dyson V8 Animal also features two suction modes; MAX and standard. Please keep in mind that the V8 offers plenty of suction on normal power to effectively clean your floors because of the motorized brush bar. MAX power is really only needed for tough cleaning jobs. Also, while many do use Dyson cordless machines as their main vacuum at home, if you prefer a longer run time, we’d recommend one of our compact uprights or canister models.
       
      We would value the opportunity to assist with your machine, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected].

      Best wishes,
      Kelly
