I bought a V8 Absolute back in May 2022 between a sale at Best Buy and a credit card offer I picked mine up for a total of $175 discounted from $399. Intended to be a quick pick up & electric boom it made my Ball Animal 3 stay in the closet for extended durations. It's my go to vacuum almost always. Only problem is that I fully drain the battery doing my house and since Lithium doesn't like full drains and full recharges repeatedly I just had to order a replacement battery. But that doesn't knock my opinion of it as a tremendous cordless vacuum.
One of my son's bought me a Dyson for Christmas a few years ago, I love it. Battery life was an issue for me. My solution to the battery not lasting long, was to order an adapter from Amazon to replace the battery so I can now use my DeWalt 5Amp Hour batteries. I have plenty od DeWalt batteries. There are adapters available for other battery manufacturers.
I have a 1 bedroom apartment so yes it only lasts 35 ish minute but I can have my whole apartment done in 20-30mins. At this price point Dyson have to make battery not as good basically so it can perform amazing. You can pay more for more battery powered ones if you live in a house and or have a partner and kids!
The Dyson V8 is a pretty good vacuum, and I do recommend it if you live in a smaller house, townhome or apt. The only issue I have is the crappy battery Dyson put in this unit. Upgrade the battery as soon as you can and you should have no issues whatsoever. Good video!
I don’t believe the battery is changeable as a standard, let alone upgradeable. Let me know if I am wrong and where to get any upgrades if they apply to the V8.
For others…manual says to use high sparingly as it’s for tough stains. Low is not low, it’s normal. If you use it on high all of the time, it will run out of battery is roughly 10 mins. I use mine for carpet stairs only. The robots do the rest of the house.
I’m torn between the V8 origin plus, or the “shark rocket pro hv370” model. I was gifted the shark but I’m torn between to I just keep it, or do I return it for credit and then spend my own money on something better??? How much better is the Dyson?
4:36 That's what I'm afraid of on all bagless vacuums...when the trap door opens, dust flies out everywhere!
yep it sort of does

My favorite review so far. Thank you.
My pleasure!
I LIKE this form factor - especially for use as a hand-held.
Thank you for demonstration, hi from Suisse
