So happy with this vacuum!! I have not stopped cleaning since purchasing it. The depth of the clean and range of attachments to use is great. My carpet looks like it has been steam cleaned and like new thanks to the motor head which gets right down into the base of the carpet, lifting the dust and...

In this review, we take a look at the Dyson V8, the latest product in cordless cleaners from the Dyson stable.

I love that I can now vacuum the house without the hassle of plugging in the vacuum multiple times. This is my first Dyson so perhaps I was just expecting too much but it doesn't suck as well as my Meile Pet Bagged Vac that I bought this to replace.

Is an awesome hand stick vacuum ...on maximum am astounded at what is sucked up almost daily ! Better than our ageing normal Dyson. Highly recommend this if you have animals as well ...we have a long haired cat and she's groomed daily but the Dyson still picks up more and more .

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

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

So flexible and light easy to get into lots of corners and much better to store than an upright ...; I wouldn't swap back that is for sure

Haven't found any yet

Pros: cordless; compact size; multiple attachments that are easy to remove and attach; wall bracket comes with anchors and screws for mounting Cons: if you have arthritis, beware: you must hold the trigger when in use and the unit vibrates, plus it's not as "lightweight" as it appears; I would have...

Absolutely love my new cordless Dyson vacuum. After being severely injured in a car accident I could not carry my big canister vacuum up and down stairs anymore and was afraid of tripping on the cord. Now I can safely keep my house clean.

Deal alert: To celebrate the arrival of spring Currys PC World has slashed the prices on some of their best-selling Dyson vacuums. Our pick of the bunch? The Dyson V8 Animal has dropped to just £350. That means you'll save £120 on a quality cordless vacuum - perfect for any spring cleaning.

Lightweight and manouevrable; Powerful suction; Cheapest Dyson V8

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

I've had quite an old dyson for years now and I was sick of lugging it around and taking it up several flights of stairs at home, the cordless is so light and easy to use, it makes it so much less time consuming and I didn't even realise how much dirt my old hoover wasn't picking up until I used...
