I hummed and hawed over this purchase – it just so darned expensive. However, having taken the plunge, I truly love it. It's light and zips around carpet or laminate, cornering like Anthony Hamilton. And it picks up bits of fluff on the first pass!

For years I've resisted buying a Dyson because of the price and instead I have settled for cheaper hoovers thinking they are only marginally inferior and I wasn't going to fall for a marketing con. After using my mother in laws I decided to take the plunge and buy the V8 animal.

I bought this a few weeks ago when our Henry packed up and haven't looked back. A charge only last 40 minutes but as there's no cables or plugs to changed I whizz round my house in about 20 minutes! The accessories make cleaning our car quick and easy to, it's well worth the money!

Really great appliance very effective and easy to use. Only I'd like that the trigger could stay stuck if you want it. It means that loses some power but I prefer not hold the trigger in all the time.

packs plenty of punch; does a good job especially on carpet has a great range of attachments to cover all aspects of cleaning

only blip is the docking/charging station cannot hold all the attachments

I have always been a Dyson fan, but this machine is a beast! seriously good suction, excellent battery life, light weight and the improvements for emptying the waste hopper is awesome, thanks Dyson for the best vac i have owned to date.

"Dyson are expensive but if you want the best you have to pay for it. I would never buy anythink else.

Bought this to replace an old heavy Dyson, and it is amazing. Light to move around and removes cat hair much better than the old one. I wish I'd bought it sooner, Unless you live in an enormous house I wouldn't worry about the battery, I find I use it more often for less time - it's so convenient...

I've given this Dyson a 5 star as its an excellent product. There are no leads so I can zoom around furniture at ease to clean. Its neatly attached to the docking station on the wall so it looks good whilst charging. It's a powerful machine.

I bought this over a month ago and can't say enough good things. We have two cats and a dog - including two adults who also shed!!! This vacuum really does get all the dirt/debris, either carpet or floor. Being cordless it's a joy to use; it's light and easy to empty.
