Only two suction settings. Only works best on max setting. When using max setting, the battery dies in less than 15 minutes. You have to hold down button entire time. Had less than a year and button no longer works. Will not buy again. It has made me reconsider buying the better models.

I bought this vacuum less than a year ago and the max setting just completely went out. The battery life sucks, it says it lasts 40 minutes on max and it lasts a total of 10 minutes if you're lucky. Another aggravation for me was the fact that on hard wood it wouldn't suck up ANYTHING, not even small crumbs. For the price it was absolutely infuriating. Luckily Sam's Club let me return it and I got a new vacuum $150 less that does a much better job for a fraction of the price.

I had a Dyson V7 for many years and it never lost suction but I wanted to upgrade to a V 8 which I did and it is perfect. Those who doubt? Vacuum your floor or carpets with your old vacuum then use the Dyson and you will see all the dirt and pet hair your vacuum missed. I only have 1 issue. I purchased this Dyson V 8. I paid full price 399.00 on Oct 12th.. it was delivered Oct 15th but then I saw the Sam's ad that says as of Nov 7 it goes on sale for 100.00 off original price. I called Sam's and asked if I qualify for this discount and the would not honor it because it was over 14 days from the time I purchased it BUT it's not my fault that the sale date occurred on Nov 7th. I have been a loyal customer for many years and because I do all my shopping at Sam's I have spent A LOT of money, because of this I feel it's very unfair they would not honor the sale.

I’m so very happy that I bought this. It’s lightweight, charges quickly, has great suction power, and fits underneath small spaces. My only complaint with this model is you have to keep your finger on the trigger to keep it on. A dedicated on off switch would be so much better, my Hand gets sore, holding trigger button down.

We have had this now for about 3 months and although the suction is very good the battery life is a bit weak. We have a 2300 sq ft home with hardwood floors and it will do about 2/3rds of the floors before it has to go back to the charger for 60 minutes before we can do the rest. So we just do the main parts one day and bedrooms the next. Other than that only other complaint is the empty mechanism, it is a bit clunky. Overall we are happy with the vacuum and I would give it 5 stars if the battery life was what they said it was on the box.

I. loved this until today. Suddenly it has TOO MUCh suction and it is not on the max setting. Damaged my rug and even pulled a metal register right up from the floor. I can find no adjustment for this. I have had it about a month and it worked great on thee same surfaces until today.

Got if from Christmas and used twice. The vacuum works great, the suction is good. The battery life is TERRIBLE! We live in a small home and I was barely able to vacuum the whole home on low setting. I completely charged vacuum and wanted to vacuum my car. I did use the max setting but still only got less than 10 min before it died. The battery life makes it difficult to use. It takes 5 hrs to completely charge for only 10-20 min run time. There is absolutely no way it will last for 40 min even on the low setting. Also, the trigger is aggravating since you have to hold it the whole time. They do make a trigger piece that helps with that, so not a big of an issue.

I bought this to replace an old cordless vacuum for quick clean up and dog hair. It has very good suction. The 2 things that I don't like about it are that you have to hold the trigger down/engaged while using it - you can't lock it in place. I also wish that it had a light on it. Both of those things are features that were on my old one that I really miss on this one. Not sure if I would have purchased it if I realized that.

I am a Dyson fan and own both a full upright and a cordless model. Both are excellent. This design has a very very poorly designed bin release mechanism. Are old one has a simple lever - intuitive and easy. This one has a pull lever on the top which separates the motor and thr bin door. You then have to slap it back together. We hate it. Returned

Researched a lot of cordless vacuums b4 purchasing this one. Main selling point was the weight....couldn't find anything comparable with the same features and suction. Have lower back issued and a regular vacuum is too heavy for me to use comfortably even if it's self-propelled. This one is perfect. Less than 4 lbs so I can easily vacuum without as much pain...even lifting overhead to do ceiling fans is a "breeze" 😊 Foing from carpet to hard surfaces is so easy, no more sweeping. Highly recommend if you need something lightweight.
