With a Direct-drive cleaner head, the V8 Animal drives bristles deep into the carpet. By positioning the motor and battery near the handle, the vacuum is easy to manoeuvre. And the new reach under tool lets you easily clean under furniture without bending over.
I have two very, very hairy dogs I am amazed that this little hoover manages to cope so well with the mess. It has much exceeded my expectation. I have mostly hard floors but it does a fantastic job on my really thick rugs and rubber backed mats - noticeably better results than my DC39.
My corded dyson hasn't come out the cupboard since this one arrived.
Yes the dust bin capacity is a little small but it is very quick, clean and easy to empty so it's not been an issue. It's also super light which is great.
Negative point: I have been static shocked once from the charging point which is located low down on the handle.... not so great but has only happened to me once and I use it a lot (..Sweaty palms on that occasion perhaps?) I noticed other reviews also have reported that same experience.
It also wasn't as easy to do the car as I had expected it would be, maybe needs the extra hose attachment. Read full review
The Dyson v8 was refurbished, much cheaper than new, but seemed new in box with everything. Thing is, the 40 min battery runs a lot shorter time if you use a motorised head and/or max power, maybe 7 minutes in some cases then 5 hours to charge. So okay for emergency use or special jobs, but you still need a corded vacuum unless you live in a tent.
Dyson isn't perfect, there are a few things that could be improved on, but for picking up dust it is second to none. I have a corded ball Dyson as well, but I don't think that it is any better than my cordless stick vacuum. It is lightweight, emptying is so easy as is attaching other bits of kit. I also have to say how helpful Dyson are. It's also great having 40 mins. of battery, I can easily do the house in one battery's worth; a deep clean would need more.
Great vacuum cleaner. Very good to be able to vacuum without a cord. Works excellent on Max mode but then I would be lucky to get even 5 minutes out of it before a recharge so that mode is only for emergencies. It does vacuum good enough on the low power setting, but I still only get 20 minutes out of it which is half of the advertised 40 minutes. I do like this vacuum, but it’s a shame, as battery life is it’s only let down I hope battery technology gets even better with time as the actual vacuuming process has been perfected by Dyson and they should not change how it works to get more battery life out of it.
This a refurbished dyson animal 8 but sold through the dyson outlet store through e bay and comes with a 1 year guarantee and at £229 thought I would give it a go as the brand new price for me was a bit too much at almost double this price. The item was speedily delivered and well packed .I put the dyson on line to authorise the guarantee and set it up to use which was very simple . It is very light very easy to empty and you can see the pile in your carpet rise after you have used it and as such I am very happy with my purchase and am so pleased that I bought it.
