V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum, Cleans Hard Floors and Carpets, Detangles, Converts to Handheld, 115AW, 2 Power Modes, Up to 40 Minutes¹

We have had this for just over a year or so and have loved using it. Pros: It is light weight but still great quality. We wanted something smaller for our small apartment and now that we live in a house we still only use this vacuum. I love that it is cordless so you don't have to keep moving the cord around the house. The "Max" or "Turbo" setting works great as well, I usually use that whenever there is a lot to pick up! It has a bunch of attachments so you can you is for many different things like vacuuming couches, getting into corners, and even your car. Cons: I can only think of two cons. 1) I wish the battery lasted a little bit longer, sometimes I have to take a break and finish vacuuming after it charges. 2) When using the main vacuum attachment, it has problems picking things up in "reverse" (when pulling the vacuum backwards). Just something to keep in mind. Overall, very happy with our purchase!

Great cordless vacuum -but claims charge time exaggerated -doesn’t run for 30 min-on high speed lasts 10 min-low speed 15

Edited to add - I’ve changed my review from 2 stars to 1. 4 months after I wrote this review, the vacuum has stopped charging entirely. I can’t do anything to get the charger to engage. Now I have a $400 machine in the back of the closet that’s been sitting dead for a week that I can no longer use and I’m having to shop for a new one. I owned the vacuum for barely over a year. My aunt bought an off-brand stick vac on Amazon for a 1/4 of the price a year before I bought my Dyson and hers is still going strong. I was so excited for this vacuum - I bought it for myself as a push present because I was tired of lugging around my heavy, corded Bissell. At first, all seemed great. My whole house is hardwood and it glided over the floor very easily and picked up almost everything (hair and dust, yes - small leaves, bits of food, basically anything that isn't flat like hair... no). We have a couple very thin rugs in the kitchen with NO ply - this vacuum will do the rugs, but only if you go backwards. If you go forwards the brush stops rolling and it won't suck up anything. Not the end of the world but just slightly annoying. We have a German Shepherd who loves to lay against the couch and she sheds a LOT. This thing is pretty useless against her pet hair on the fabric couch. After several passes with multiple attachments and using both speeds, it hardly makes a dent in the hair. I get better luck getting it out with my little Bissell dirt vac. The main floor of my house is VERY small, under 1000 sq ft, and the fully charged battery won't last on the high setting and dies before I can finish doing the whole floor. The high setting is great but if you can only use it for a couple minutes and then need to plug it in again it doesn't do much good. It would be nice if this thing had a switch or button that just kept it ON while you are using it, instead of having to hold down the trigger the entire time. After a while my hand does start to get pretty sore. Like others have said, this thing is pretty noisy. The low setting isn't too bad and I can use it while my baby naps, but the high setting SCREAMS. It feels unnecessarily loud. I've seen other off-brand knock offs that have a light that shines on the floor while you're using it; I didn't realize how handy that would be. Also, after 8 months of owning it, we have a very hard time getting this to charge. Not sure if it's a problem the charging cord itself or some component inside the motor, but when you plug in the charger it doesn't engage. I have to wiggle the cord every which direction, pull high/low, to try to get the charging started, and then cross my fingers that when I slowly let go of the cord and walk away that it stays charging. Doesn't do much good when half the time it's dead and I can't get it charged. All in all, the suction is good and straight forward and the vac pivots good on smooth floors, but I wouldn't recommend this and I'm disappointed with this purchase.

The suction is the first thing you notice. It's strong in a way that feels almost unreasonable for a cordless vacuum. I have a mix of hardwood floors and area rugs, plus a dog who seems to shed in bulk, and the V8 Plus handles all of it without breaking a sweat. Pet hair that used to require multiple passes with my old vacuum lifts up in a single smooth stroke. The cordless freedom is genuinely transformative for daily cleaning. I used to put off quick cleanups because dragging out a full-size corded vacuum felt like a commitment. Now I grab the Dyson off the wall mount, do a 10-minute sweep of the main floor, and put it back — no untangling cords, no hunting for outlets. It's made me vacuum more often, which I never expected to say. Battery life on the standard setting is solid — plenty of runtime to cover a reasonably sized home in one charge. Max mode chews through battery faster, but I rarely need it except for deep-cleaning sessions on thick rugs. The conversion to a handheld for stairs, upholstery, and car interiors is quick and genuinely useful, not just a gimmick. The bin is easy to empty — one click and everything drops cleanly without you having to dig around inside it. The included attachments cover most situations well, and the wall-mounted dock keeps everything organized and charging in one spot. Yes, it's an investment. But the build quality, performance, and convenience make it feel worth every penny. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign.

Great vacuum cleaner. It's lightweight. Easy to use. I like the attachments and how easily to converts to a handheld vacuum. The suction is outstanding. Here is what I absolutely hate about it and what ruins everything else for me: the battery life. It lasts so little. Especially if you use the turbo option. It lasts less than 30 minutes. It's super disruptive when cleaning and you're stuck waiting for it to charge so you can continue using it. I have heard the Dyson V15's battery life is way better. I wish I would've gotten that instead. I know it's more expensive. It's a huge disappointment because this vacuum is not cheap. It's several hundred dollars. And I think it's so disrespectful to the consumer spending all this money on a vacuum cleaner for us to not be able to fully use it as intended because the manufacturer couldn't produce a better battery. Having to stop and recharge every 20 to 30 minutes is a joke. I'll be returning it.

As usual, I love my Dyson! This is my third one and I love it as much as the others! It has great suction. The attachments are great for anything you could need. Great for carpet and hard surface as well as a variety of other things. So lightweight and easy to use. It is a bit more quiet than the previous model but with the same great performance and similar design.

got almost half off. bc manufacturer had sale for easter time. got one for mom also. they are very light. everyone likes to use it to clean bc its light, powerful even on low. and it eliminates the need to sweep anymore which is why i bought it. sweeping although it cleans kicks the dirt and dust into the air. this thing just eats the dirt, dust, etc. from the floor. carpet, wood, tile, etc. its perfect. a tip, buy a generic trigger locking device on here, bc dyson does not include a mechanism to lock the on button. and no cord to trip on, or limit where you go. also detaches to much smaller size for inside couch, or areas that need shorter unit.

I bought the DYSON V8 in Nov ...did not unpack and assemble it until Jan! I will never do that again, that is, wait that long. i wish I could return or exchange this! The first item I ordered was a Dyson air humidifier, what a disappointment...it was leaking everywhere and the timer would not work...so I sent that thing back and replaced it with LEVOIT. !. Motor is powerful I love that, that's where their strength begins and ends. 2. Heavy airstream is flowing out ,as if it were a portable fan, from where the Hepa white paper filter sits inside a purple plastic housing. It's leaking through the crevices, even though the plastic piece is twisted on correctly and on tight. 3. The battery only lasts one hour on normal mode with small bursts of Max mode used as needed. 4. The housing is all built of inexpensive plastic...I can't see this thin plastic (not even sure if it is ABS plastic) being durable for years! Looks and feels crackable. 5. It is lightweight, that's a plus, and does not take up much storage space. 6. The dirt compartment is small! Easy to dump out but the red release tab has to be pulled upwards aggressively, so I figure eventually that will break too. 7. Once battery is fully depleted, charging time is almost 3 hours...that's not great. 8. Easy to assemble...nice because I detest puzzles. 8. CREAKING sound coming from BOTH the hand held roller attachment and the larger everyday use roller part. Goodness. 9. Top HEAVY! Not good for those with arthritis in the hand joints. The only thing I love about DYSON are their hairdryers, which I own. I can't exactly recommend this particular modle of DYSON vacuum, perhaps they offer a higher quality model that I have yet to try. I'm not really excited about this V8's build quality and cheap plastic materials. I do not think this is a value for my money, i think it is horribly overpriced. I can almost hear the DYSON execs laughing all the way to the bank....I am no fool mister, but this one is on me. PS video coming of the air leakage...and the roller motor creaking sounds...it's charging right now.

Funciona muy bien, excelente calidad, fácil manejo y limpieza

I call this the magic wand, despite the fact a very different product has appropriated that name. My needs aren’t great, the house rarely gets very dirty. I wanted a light weight, cordless vacuum to clean chiefly dog fur on two floors, one wood and tile, the other carpeted. The Dyson V8 Plus does the job easily and swiftly, sucking up all the dog debris, small bits of paper, food scraps, and any other dirt on the floors. It is so much more convenient than using one of those big, cumbersome, corded vacuum cleaners I used to have. I hated lugging these around, especially up and down stairs. Now I can carry the Dyson just in one hand and never worry about plugging and re-plugging the machine. I had some difficulties at the beginning because the Dyson got clogged. It still functioned, but not well: it pulsed, instead of being smooth. Only when I downloaded the manual did I discover the simple solution to my problem, which was to find and remove the blockage in the tube. Then the Dyson worked like magic. The battery doesn’t last very long under heavy usage, so I clean one floor at a time, waiting about two hours between these tasks until the machine recharges. I’m probably too cautious because whenever I finish a floor, I know I still have some leftover power. It’s not quiet but nor is it especially noisy – and it works so well I can’t complain.

The hairscrew tool is shown to be included in this set and that is why I bought this set for my pets hair problem but that specific tool is not included and will be returning the complete set.

Nice, practical, easy to store vacuum cleaner. Very nicely designed articulating floor head. Charging quick and has overdrive suction switch for the tough stuff. Light weight. Smallish collection canister, but very easy to empty. I think it is the best engineered cordless vacuum on the market.

Muy bueno aspira excelente no hace mucho ruido lo amé
