Great new features have improved performance.
I bought this to replace a 15 year old Dyson. I cannot believe how efficient this new model is. I have long hair and the non tangle is a revelation. Emptying is so much easier,as is using the tools.

Perfect example of poor product.
Doesn’t work at all since bought brand new. They sent replacement charger , still no use. Returned and got refund. Never buy this again.

Disappointing
This doesn’t seem to be as powerful or have as good suction as my old v6. The head on the v8 seems to drag on carpet when pulling back after pushing forward. It makes a terrible noise on the tiled floor. And the head gets a layer of dust covering it after each use, which the v6 didn’t. Not getting another Dyson.

Good for small jobs but very poor battery life
The convenience of having a cordless vacuum is great due to it's manoeuvrability but it becomes very inconvenient if you have to charge for two to three hours between a single hoovering session. We live in very small terraced house (2 up, 2 down) so we took the plunge in investing in a Dyson cordless, thinking it would be a breeze to vacuum both floors. However, once we...

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the Dyson V8 Advanced hasn’t met your expectations on battery life, especially for whole-home cleaning. It’s clear you hoped for more convenience, and we understand how charging between rooms can be frustrating. While the V8 is designed for quick, smaller jobs, it may not suit longer cleaning sessions on a single charge.

Love Dyson
Purchase a v8 recently. It was to replace a 5year old Dyson that accidentally was dropped and was badly damaged. Can’t live without my Dyson. Fortunately I have attachments - only one was included with my new machine!

Thank you for your honest feedback about the Dyson V8 Advanced vacuum. We're sorry to hear the runtime didn't meet your expectations on full power. The high-power mode uses more battery, which can limit continuous cleaning time. If you need tips for extending battery life or have any questions, we're here to help.

My first cordless vacuum,and I am delighted with everything it does. I have always had a corded machine,and now I keep looking around for the flex and have to get used to it not being there. The V8 is so lightweight,I was able to vacuum the whole house using only one hand. Unbelievable.I wish I'd got one years ago. Can't praise it enough.

Performance
First use is great, 2 level suction perfect, great battery life because battery is larger, a bit strange to empty this version compared to my previous Dyson v8, not very user friendly. No manual in the box had to go on line to find out about filters, cleaning. Previous v8 model was easier to to open to empty / clean the collector.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Dyson V8 Advanced. It is great to hear that you are pleased with the suction power, battery life and overall build quality. The updated design is intended to provide a cleaner and more controlled way to release dust. All V8 Advanced machines come with washable filters, a hygienic point-and-shoot bin emptying system and a larger battery designed for longer run time.

New V8.
Bought to replace my old V7 which has served me well for years. This V8 is slightly more powerful but just as light and manoeuvrable. Very happy.

The best vacuum stick on the market
Bought this upgrade as our previous one began cutting out but we had, had it a long time. The newer version is similar in many ways and i like that but the power is better and lasts longer before it needs recharging and it is doing a good job. It is lightweight, well balanced and sits comfortably in your hand.
