The V8 Absolute is the most flexible, easy to use and convenient vacuum cleaner I have ever used. Previous models wouldn't always do the whole house on a charge; the V8 will be able to clean even a five-bed house in one go, which is a big step forward.

ample battery life; very powerful when needed; great cleaning heads; good weight distribution; easy to use attachments; easy to empty; quiet; compact and maneuverable

expensive; no where to store extra heads; nowhere to carry tools when cleaning

Long before there was a Dyson V8 Absolute vacuum, a bias existed about the pricing and overall effectiveness of Dyson products. While I am not trying to prove or disprove that, I am going to share my impressions of their latest (expensive) household appliance: the V8 Absolute vacuum.

No home appliance manufacturer inspires outspoken brand loyalty quite like Dyson , but it's taken the British company several tries to get cordless vacuum cleaners right. Latest to the showroom is the Dyson V8 Absolute, a decidedly premium way to cut the cord as you vanquish dust, dirt, and animal...

Upright power in a cordless vacuum which seemed impossible 10 years ago now is a real possibility thanks to this product I'm going to share with you today. Dyson has been busy with product development.

Perhaps the most powerful cordless vacuum in the market today; Has specially designed tools for bare floor and carpet; HEPA filtration; Dyson has improved their dirt emptying mechanism; Longer run time (40 mins max

Very expensive (more expensive than some of the Dyson uprights in the market; Dirt bin while has increased in capacity is still small

I bought this v8 in last month it works great as advertised.

Dyson V8 is the most powerful cordless stick vacuum in the planet at the moment. Not only it has a motor that spins many times faster than a Formula One engine, the latest V8 comes with all the improvements that Dyson cordless stick owners will love.

I just go it out of the box and pluged it in waited for few hours to charge and she works like it should with no problems and part from the price well get what you pay for as I have find out over time so I went for the best and yes it works better than fine.

This is a very good vacuum and convenient too. The battery will last for 40 minutes IF you DON'T use it on the max setting. It only lasts for 7(?) minutes if used on max setting. This was not a prominent issue in the packaging.

We loved the power and versatility of the Dysons V6 Absolute cordless vacuum 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 emptying.

Better cleaning than many mains-powered machines; Improved bin emptying; Outstanding air filtration; Good battery life; Great tools for all jobs
