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

I love the Dyson stick vacuum.It is so light and easy to use, no cords to trip over and no bending to plug in and change from room to room.I have had my corded Dyson for 12years and it was not able to be fixed.

Easy to empty collection container empties directly into a trash container after each use. Operating instructions are clearly written and understandable. Several points I've learned: 1) the batteries require you to be efficient while vacuuming giving you about 1/2 hour vacuum time.

Plenty of tools for all occasions

None

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.

Very powerful suction and easy to use around the house. It makes vacuuming less of a chore. Changing from one attachment to another is quick and fuss-free as is the emptying process. However, it is not much use in a car - the motor head is too big for it to manoeuvre into all the small spaces.

The V8 Absolute picks up dog hair, bird feathers and chips from the cardboard boxes we give our parrot to keep him from chewing up the furniture. I only use it on hardwood and slate tiles (1900' first floor). I use it daily to touch up between whole house vacuuming.

It is so lightweight and easy to use. I have a private homeschool/child care and have to vacuum alot so it's really nice not having to deal with a canister or the bulkiness of a regular vacuum.

I bought this vacuum cleaner about a month ago and it has changed my attitude to vacuuming 100%. I used to dread dragging out my corded vacuum (also a Dyson with amazing cleaning power but soo bulky). Now I'm using this one constantly. As soon as I see a bit of debris on the floor, it's gone.

The Dyson V11 reigns supreme, but the V8 Absolute is still a great cordless vacuum cleaner

Versatile cleaning for all floor types; Improved battery life; Super quiet;
