Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum, Cleans Hard Floors and Carpets, Detangles, Converts to Handheld, 115AW, 2 Power Modes, Up to 40 Minutes¹
Best for
Pet owners in apartments or small homes with hard floors and low-pile rugs who want top-tier cordless suction; skip if you need more than 30 minutes of runtime, a hands-free trigger, or a vacuum that will outlast a 3-year cycle without repairs.
What buyers say
The V8 still delivers that signature Dyson suction on hard floors and low-pile rugs, and the Motorbar genuinely detangles pet hair as you clean, but battery life is the dealbreaker for anyone with more than a small space. Count on about 30 minutes of normal runtime, a 3-hour recharge, and a trigger you have to hold the whole time unless you buy an aftermarket adapter.
