  • Accessories & Toolsthis is the motor bar with hair removal veins and for longer hair it also comes with this hair screw tool now both of these are motorized
  • Assembly and Setupit's very simple to operate
  • Bin & Bagwhen this is all filled up with dirt and debris you're going to lift this lever but you're going to lift this up and the Bottom's going to pop out all at once... it really filled this thing up it's got a lot of dirt and debris on it
  • Cleaning Performanceon carpet it seemed like it was hard to move it didn't you know it did a good job I was very impressed with it but it didn't seem like that was its specialty
  • Convertible handheld designyou want to do stairs you can just attach this turn it on and same with this attachment here it is a motorized attachment
  • Handle comfort & gripyou got to hold the button the whole time I you know I like that
  • Power setting versatilitywe got two speeds we got low and high... it's either full power you know low power is pretty low I me you have some pretty good suction but you're probably going to run it in high power all the time and it's that does deplete the battery when you run it in high power the whole time
  • Suction & Airflowit's got a lot of suctionit's got really powerful suction
  • Versatilityits specialty is a kitchen with multiple surfaces multiple Corners that's exactly where this um vacuum cleaner is going to come in handy

What We Loved

  • Assembly and Setupcomes with a wall mount that integrates the charge cable
  • Bin & BagDustbin has a 0.14 gallon capacity
  • Convertible handheld designcordless vacuum
  • Cordless convenienceDyson's entry-level cordless vacuum
  • Ergonomics & Handlingfeatures a trigger that you must hold down as you vacuum and features a toggle from regular to Max suction a little bit more controlI think I like the trigger better
  • Overall opinionV8 does a pretty solid job in its Max setting of picking up all the stuff you want it toit's great and it actually has some features that are better than the V12 like the larger dust bin that's easier to emptyfor those people the V8 is going to be your best bet it's great
  • Price & ValueV8 msrps for 450 dollars but it regularly is on sale around 100 off right about 350 but we've even seen a slick Deal's best deal at 200 offfor those people the V8 is going to be your best bet it's great
  • Suction & Airflowfeatures a toggle from regular to Max suction but don't fool yourself you will never use regulardoes a pretty solid job in its Max setting of picking up all the stuff you want it toregular mode is not really that great by comparison it just doesn't pull up dirt and dust the way that you want a vacuum to do

What We Loved

  • Accessories & ToolsI bought directly from the Dyson website so I got the Dyson V8 absolute package where all the attachments were includedI think the attachments are worth it
  • Assembly and Setupyou're just going to take this off the power and put on the extender and then I'm gonna pretend I'm just doing a regular house vacuum and I will put this on there
  • Cleaning Performancewhen I do do my whole house clean I am amazed at how much dust it picks upit is absolutely amazing how much dusting picks up
  • Cordless convenienceI really wanted a cordless good vacuum because it's just so annoying to have to go room to room finding a plug and having to deal with all that
  • Ease of cleaning high areasI also love using it on those High areasit sucks the dust up so well you almost don't need to dust those like high surfaces
  • Handle comfort & gripyou can just suction it against their furniture and it'll really pull up the dust
  • Noise levelit is so satisfying but also kind of gross and so I'm like oh my goodness I I need to use this more
  • Pet-Ready Featuresthis is the hair screw tool so you can use it on smaller areas like steps or couches or something if there's like animal hair or people hair or something this will help really clean up messes like that
  • Power setting versatilitythere are two levels there is Max and a lighter level I would put it on Max always or hard surfaces it's really going to get all that dust and grime but on area rugs and carpet I would move it over to less power because it is such a strong vacuum that it's going to stick to the rug or stick to the carpet if you have it all the way on Max so you're going to need to turn down the power a little so that you can easily Glide
  • Price & Valuebut they are so expensive so I was looking specifically at the V8 because it's one of the more affordable options
  • SatisfactionI love this vacuumI did so much research before getting it and I would say it has met my expectationsI really really love it
  • Suction & Airflowthe power has been absolutely greatI've also never once been like oh I wish this was a little bit stronger so that I could pick up moreI have been very impressed with the power
  • Tool-change simplicityif I switch nozzles to like maybe this one I can get those big itemsif you attach it here if this makes sense this is kind of fun to use like that as well
  • Versatilityif you attach it here if this makes sense this is kind of fun to use like that as well so you can just get a really nice clean really powerful clean it works well
