Won’t suck cheerios, kibble, or cat litter. Somehow, it manages to suck up the carpet and stop working though. I returned it. We have cats and a toddler. I literally bought this to make cleaning after them a little easier. It gets cat hair out okay. Not worth it unless you are only picking up a little pet hair from hard floors.

Very disappointed with this vacuum. I have never had a vacuum that didn't have a floor light. Emptying the bin is very cumbersome. Have to be on my knees to get under furniture. Having to hold the on switch constantly, no one and off switch, is such a pain. Doesn't fold or stand alone. One setting for floors and carpet. Had high hopes for this vacuum but it's below an entry level for a huge price. If my husband hadn't thrown out the box I would have taken it back.

I have a Dyson V 10 and was due for a new one. I purchased this Dyson V8. I knew there were distinct differences. But I definitely did not think that the power/suction would be that different. Works great on bar floors. Bath mats and low pile area rugs not at all. It does not have enough power to do them. Brushhead kept stopping. I clean houses for a living and my Dyson V 10 is my go to. Returning this and getting the Dyson sized from Sam’s.

Have been using my new Dyson stick Vacuum and I love it. It works as stated. I would've given it a five star except for the battery. If you run the vac on the higher mode the battery does draw down fairly quickly so if someone has a large house it may not cover the whole area. I use mine on the lower setting and the battery will last a while. Even running it on low it has a great suction. I have pets so I'm constantly keeping up the fur.

Super handy device for quick clean up. Strong suction & excellent maneuverability. Gets edges and lays down to get under furniture. Must hold down trigger for it to run. It’s one downfall is battery life. I like to keep it on maximum suction so I runs out in 12-15 minutes on hardwoods/tile…Carpet even faster. I am keeping it because I plan to use it for quick clean ups and it works so well.

Great vacuum for seniors. I am 75 year old senior with 2 Schnauzer dogs who lives in my daughter’s home. I wanted a vacuum to keep up my 2 room living area, This Dyson is perfect. There are no cords, so no trip hazard for me. It is lightweight, easy to store and ready to use. I use it daily to keep up with the dog hair and it empties out without having to remove any parts. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

I am sadly disappointed with my purchase of the Dyson V8 motorhead. I had hoped it would’ve been as powerful as my corded Dyson. I do like the fact that it has two Power modes, however using the high power mode wears the battery down much quicker. I really don’t see how it would last 45 minutes. I also like that it came with three attachments. I am not a fan of having to press the switch to keep it running… I would’ve much rather had an on and off switch. It hurts my hand after a short while applying the power switch. But the biggest disappointment is the brush attachment is not power driven. What a disappointment it was to try and vacuum dog hair off of a pillow and the brush would just quit every time I tried. It will work on a bare floor or my area rugs but again for only a short time. One would think that something costing almost $400 would be a better piece of equipment with a motor driven brush head. This vacuum cost more than a corded Dyson. I’m thinking of returning this vacuum.

Vacuum sucks and not in a good way

Dead after 2 weeks. Followed instructions to the letter. Waiting on replacement battery.

Good suction, battery life needs to be better & needs a ON switch that stays on continuously.
