Product Information

User-friendliness is one of the most important criteria for new products for me and my reviews should also be user-friendly. You can quickly access help and advice online – visit our support pages for troubleshooting, how-to videos and more. But if you just want a Dyson for everyday household chores, the V8 will be more cost effective, and almost as good. The V8 Absolute proved adept at going from hard floors to carpeted areas without any issues, making it a very versatile cleaner and certainly capable of a full-house clean with its improved battery life. The direct-drive head is able to push its bristles deep into your carpet, pulling up fine debris even in the pile.

If your budget allows it and you're prepared to dig a little deeper into your pockets, we'd recommend the Dyson V10.It’s made from hard plastic and the side of the motor rubs against the top of your thumb, which can become a little uncomfortable. Dyson’s rated suction power has increased, however, from 100 air watts to 115 air watts in the new model. If a Dyson machine is used in the way it's intended and it breaks down within the guarantee period, it's our responsibility to repair or replace it.

A versatile cleaner, you can use one of the five cleaning tools to keep your home clean from top to bottom.

It was replaced by the DC02 in 1997, which introduced removable and washable filters, as well as filtration systems that hadn't been seen before in UK homes. The Dyson V10 collection appeared in 2018, and was intended to directly supersede the V8, so you might think that assessing the merits of the V8 is obsolete.

Investing in a Dyson V8 cleaner is guaranteed to make it easier to keep your home squeaky clean, but it's not always a cheap purchase. Clean hard-to-reach places and upholstery around the home, includes: Stubborn Dirt Brush, Extension Hose, Mattress Tool and Mini-Soft Dusting Brush.The Dyson V10 Absolute sucked up 100% of the coarse dirt without any problems, thanks to the enlarged brush.

The dust container and cyclones have been rotated 90 degrees, so that everything sits in a straight line. Whether you’re using it with a fully-charged battery or towards the end, the level of suction remained the same. Use this table, along with our top tips below it, to help you sort out the good Dyson deals from the duds. For a cordless vacuum as expensive as the V8, I would have liked it if the trigger grip was more comfortable.Pets present specific challenges for vacuum cleaners, and not all models are capable of dealing with them, but Dyson's technicians have come up with a variety of pet-specific features that should handle whatever dirt your little buddy leaves behind. The only gripe they mentioned was that the bin itself could be quite small for those with larger homes and multiple pets, so if you have two or three dogs, or a house full of cats, think about choosing larger, more powerful models with more capacity.
