Dyson V8 Absolute review

The Dyson V8 is light, powerful, and easy to maneuver.

Improved battery life ; A ton of attachments ; Lightweight and easy to maneuver ; Good suction, especially in max mode

Double the price of competitors ; Nowhere to store attachments ; Max mode lasts under 10 minutes

At $600, the Dyson V8 is one pricey cordless. It’s also extremely lightweight and pretty powerful for a cordless. Its relatively small footprint and myriad attachments make it pretty ideal for apartment and condo-dwellers — especially because its...

Dyson V8 cordless vacuum doubles battery life, while new Big Ball gets self-righting powers

Dyson's new lightweight vacuum is more powerful than its predecessor, while the company's new stand-up vacuum can't be pushed over.

Compact, great at cleaning carpet, convenient

Short battery life, expensive

Just narrowly getting edged out of a top spot, the Dyson V8 Absolute is another exceptional product and among the best of the best when it comes to cordless stick vacuums. This model cleans exceptionally well, is easy and convenient to use, and is very...

Dyson V8 Absolute Review

We just got our hands on the Dyson V8 Absolute cordless stick vacuum and have been running the machine through its paces. For the most part, we've been impressed. The V8 is a lightweight vacuum that is both a stick vacuum and a handheld. It is...

Dyson V8 Animal Review | Trusted Reviews

Dyson V8 Animal: A premium cordless vacuum cleaner designed for homes with pets

Class-leading suction power ; Superb floor head design ; Efficient pet hair pick-up ; Mini-tool for dog beds, upholstery ; Easy emptying bin ; Up to 40-minute run-time ; Wall dock charger

Bin rather small for pet homes ; V8 Absolute better for hard floors

The V8 is so powerful it can replace a corded cleaner for most jobs, including picking up pet hair

Dyson V8 Animal

Our fur-moulting, muddy-pawed companions have always necessitated the best in vacuum cleaner technology for the home. Big motors, powerful suction, dedicated tools and floor-heads with rotating brush bars are a must. So can Dyson's V8 Animal cordless...

An outstanding pet-specific cordless cleaner, only bested by Dyson's own V8 Absolute for hard floors.

Dyson V8 Absolute

We loved the power and versatility of Dyson's V6 Absolute cordless cleaner, with only minor caveats of shortish battery life and occasionally tricky bin emptying. Enter the new Dyson V8 Absolute, promising more power, double the run time and easier bin...

Dyson V8 Animal review: Still a cheap alternative to the Dyson V11

Not as good as the new Dyson V11 Absolute but the Dyson V8 Animal is a cheaper option and still a fantastic vacuum cleaner

Lightweight and manouevrable ; Powerful suction ; Cheapest Dyson V8

Expensive ; Some parts feel flimsy ; Not as good as the Dyson Cyclone V10

My only issue with it is that, as with all Dysons, it’s expensive and build quality in places feels a little too plasticky for my liking, particularly the bin-release handle. Plus, now that the Dyson Cyclone V10 has arrived, it's no longer the best of...
