Very good vacuum

Easy To Empty; Easy to Use; Powerful/Good Suction

I had my first Dyson cleaner in the U.K. in 1997 before they were even popular in the USA. I now own 5 between two houses for convenience and the need to clean up after pets. I bought another Dyson, not because the last one broke, but because the next one has something I want!

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;

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

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 .

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.

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