FINALLY someone who just reviews a product and doesn't try to be funny. I don't come here to be entertained, just educated. Thank you for your hard work!!!
Can't overstate how much appreciate the straightforward numerical comparisons and visual demonstrations. Was feeling overwhelmed trying to sort through all the options and your videos helped me feel confident in deciding the V8 is the right model for my needs. If only all reviews were this concise making big purchases would be so much easier! You're the best vacuum review man!
This is amazing. Being a teacher myself, I have to say you have a soothing voice and a super clear logic to explain things explicitly. I love watching your videos! Thank you!
the only thing I would add to your very professional video "well done" the battery life for v8 is around 2 years the battery life for the v10 is the life of unit. With the cost of a battery makes the life cycle cost of the v 10 less.
Your reviews are comprehensive and informative with excellent presentation. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your reviews. I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers. Maybe those who vacuum don't use RUclips? :-)
Agreed. Not too many subscribers because you get the review, you choose and buy a vacuum and... thats it. until it breaks and you have to go through the process again. Who is really following the trends of vacuum reviews?
Heck yeah they do, that's why there's so many cleaning and organizing channels! It's just that their viewers buy whatever the RUclipsr is using instead of doing the research to see if it's actually the right vacuum for them.
It has now been 15 months since this video. The V7 absolute is now $190, the V8 absolute is $250, and the V10 absolute is $400. I am going to buy the V8 today and then in 2-3 years I will buy the V11. That is how you get the best bang for your buck. Don't buy new dyson vacuums and don't buy new cars.....unless you are rich and money is not a worry to you.
Super helpful! Helped me decide! From other research I know the V8 is quieter but the V10 likely has longer-lasting battery technology. But, I need quiet most as I have a child who is extremely noise-sensitive. But you show that the added suction of the V10 is not a deciding factor, especially on quiet mode with bare floors (my scenario), so the V8 is the better value for me even if the battery wears out sooner. Thank you so much!
Fantastic Review! Very helpful. What's behind door number #1 and door #2? All kidding aside... Thank you! You just saved me a couple of hundred bucks! Cheers!
Based on your tests, the V8 is less powerful, costs considerably less, but picks up more dirt on a carpet than a V10. In that case, I'll wait for a V6 model to come out.
...just bought a V8 Absolute today and I am SHOCKED at the amount of extra dirt it has picked up compared to my old plug in Zanussi! I actually went to the store to pick up the range topping Bosch BCS122GB which was 50 euros more expensive at 399 euros. I liked the idea that it comes with 2 batteries and it looks better than the Dyson. However, the weight immediately put me off. The Dyson rep also threw in an extra set of tools so for 349 euros for the complete Absolute PLUS the extra set of tools I think I got a decent deal. The performance of both models seems comparable but the deal breaker for me was the hard floor roller head that comes with the Dyson. All my downstairs is hard flooring and it works perfectly on the low power setting. I didn't even need to use the High power setting upstairs and on the stairs which is all carpet and comfortably cleaned entire 1150 sq ft house on 1 charge on the Low setting. The weight of the Bosch, and the omission of a specific head for hard floors drove to to the Dyson. I used to laugh at the Dyson commercials when the show you all the dirt it picks up I thought it was fake. I'm a believer now and a very happy Dyson owner!
This guy provides a detailed comparative analysis of the V8 vs. the V10. I have been well informed and can now make an educated decision about which one I'll buy. Probably the V10. Thank you for your terrific job!
I have spent far too much time researching these vacuums and watching videos! However, I must say your video's are clear, concise and extremely helpful! Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into these reviews! Much appreciated!
Watched this excellent review and picked up a V8 absolute at Lowe’s for $300. First Dyson for me and it almost is going to obsolete my $1500 Miele. Very well designed. I see a lot of clones talk about not having to hold in the trigger as an “feature” and I noticed you don’t even mention that in your reviews. I will say it is a tad silly because once I start using it my finger doesn’t come off the trigger. But it is so comfortable to hold and use I don’t mind the trigger thing at all. One comment on removing the wand to empty. That is true, no one would attempt to empty with the wand attached. But my wife likes to keep it configured as a handheld so removing the small attachment every time to empty would be annoying. So between that and the awkward release latch I feel they went backwards in usability with the V10.
I got V8 Absolute, and used it for a month now. I am so happy that I have not returned it to exchange for V10!!! V10 bin design/location is lame, all the dirt is right in front of your eyes, while bin on v8 is under the motor, so you only see the dirt when you need to see how full is the bin. V8 is so much cuter/lighter/better. PERIOD! Forget the low suction mode of the V10, you will never use it, maybe to pick up dust only LOL. So v8 battery life/performance is better in low mode than V10 on Medium, ahahahaaa. tools are same for both. charging time....eeemmmmm… once battery dies on either one, are you gonna sit and wait either 3.5 of 5 hours to finish cleaning? hell no. leave on charge overnight, relax. tomorrow finish what is not done.
Great review! I do have a question...regarding the battery pack(s) for each. I believe that the V10 battery has a much higher lifetime than the V8. Replacing batteries can become expensive over the long haul. This may have an effect on the cost equation. Can you elaborate on that?
Although I can't answer the question directly, I've had the V8 absolute for over 5 years (full disclosure: live in a small condo, I'm not Mr Monk, plus I don't maintain it very well like washing the filters) and the battery life hasn't noticeably declined. I probably use it briefly most days, but have to charge it very seldom.... I'd guess every 3 weeks or so at most.
Thx for stats about Absolute/Fluffy mode = 98-99% on LOW power mode!!! We've always used MAX and maybe a nice idea to dial it down. Had the V8 Absolute a couple years, great for our smaller home (1250 sf) both carpet and hard floor. For us, the smaller V8 bin is fine -- and commentary about smaller bin easier to empty, and for your car makes sense (saw the V10 and not really a fan of the design... maybe its forward bin blocks your view a little, too?). Tip: as is the nature of things, batteries degrade over time and can be found on Amazon after 2-3 years can be had cheap!
Thank you so much for this. Your review helped me immensely. After buying the V8 Absolute, I had buyer's remorse and almost returned it and bought the V10. Your video helped me conclude that I made the right decision. Thanks for being so thorough, clear, and informative. Much appreciated!
Conclusion; i'll stick with my V8 Absolute( I pay wayyyyy ..less than show in the video). There's a V8 replacement battery with more power., the battery that comes with Dyson v8 is 2800mAh and a replacement is 3500mAh so you get more working minutes.
@@Youriqo i was about to buy the v10, but changed my mind to v8. There are bigger batteries replacements and cheaper than for v10, both use the same kind...v10 just with 1 more cell.
@@frederic1513 Tax probably. In UK, and Europe in general, the tax are highter. In return you are taken care of more in Europe. Free higher/lower education, free medical, free dentist uptil 18 years old, unemployment money, payed parent leave when getting a child, and so on. USA have nothing, just low tax and everyone for themselves. Not a country to live in.
Awesome review, so glad I got the v8 absolute because the software roller does work better. There is a bug price asking 330 before tax for v10 animal from amazon during Black Friday. I hesitate, and thank god I did not get the V10, I need the soft roller head.
Thank you for making a review of such high quality. I appreciate the effort that went into the review, and also the clear, precice and concise presentation. This gem of information will guide my choice of vacuum cleaner in the next days. Very well done.
After watching your review, I bought v8 abs yesterday, battery life is enough for 3 big seats and 8 carpets (totaly 60 meter square) lastly car seats cleaning, thank you for documentation. This is the most price performance gun for dirty carpets.
Best review ever! Only difference that you didn't mention is that the V8 has two filters which you have to clean separately, whereas the V10 has both filters conveniently in one piece.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. deserves way more clicks! I was about to order the V8 and was searching reviews.. Found your comparison and figured hmm maybe I should get the V10! Turns out I was right with the V8 all along. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the detailed review. I bought the V8 Absolute Pro on a black friday sale. I think I wouldn’t really need the higher max power on the V11. Very happy with my purchase on a much lower price with better low power mode.
Hello! Guys I barely understand english speech but able to read... Unfortunately auto subs are turned off (could you turn it on please btw?) :( Could you tell me please what decision the author made finally? I'm frustrating between these two models... Thank you!
immick V10 is the best overall cleaner, if budget is any kind of consideration then get V8 as you really wont notice the difference. Buy whatever model of V8 or V10 dependent on wither you mostly clean carpets or hard floors.
Brilliantly helpful video that shows the differences between models in a very easy-to-understand format. Still pertinent years later. Thanks to whoever it was that decided to present it in this way.
Thank you for your reviews, they are very thorough and easy to listen to. I just watched three of your videos; the likes and dislikes for the V8 and this video and I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to really showcase the differences between these products. Very good job, thank you.
Thank you for your excellent work, very useful. One more difference I learned on another review on V8 vs v10 is battery replacement cost. V8 uses lithium ion which last less than the one on V10.
Hey VaccumAdvisor, i think itd be an excellent idea for your channel to consider creating a video that in some form lists the top vacuums in respective categories. i.e. under X$, cordless/cord, etc.
I’ve had the V8 Absolute for 3 years, great machine, rubbish battery life, using any of the powered brushes on the wand at normal power when new gave around 15-20 minutes. The battery gave less than 5 minutes at the end of 3 years and needed replacing by Dyson at £60.00. Of course the V11 has superseded the V10 and added lots of benefits, at a aprice
I fix these things every day, both units are piles of shit. For real cleaning you know need to go with a real vacuum. Something that plugs into 110V outlet and has a real motor.
I just ordered the V8 on Dyson’s website, through their chat feature for 375 bucks after tax. I like the fact that on the V8, if the battery ever dies, you can order a replacement through Dyson, and it’s only three screws that you have to remove to replace it. Ordering on the website also let’s you choose one of three bonus tool kits, and the sales person offered me a free bag to hold the attachments, but I asked if they had the “flexi crevice tool” and he threw it in for free instead of the bag. Can’t wait to try this vacuum out! Thanks for the review!
I find it hard to believe how gullible people are. It is not if but when your rechargeable battery stops working. They all end up in the landfill. Lawnmowers power tools ect. I like to vacuum until I feel that something is clean. With a battery I would rush through the job and have battery anxiety the whole time wondering when the battery will die. This salesman got you to bite by offering you some free tools which you could have lived without. Who only vacuums for 7 min.
Appreciate your video...I have always thought that Dyson was the "Bose" of vacuum cleaners....Does the job....not always the best all around BUT very expensive. I almost bought into the dyson hype, until you got to the run time of 6-7 minutes on high, then what recharge for 3-5 hours. LOL No thanks Me thinks you would have to do be a serious sprinter of an athlete to get all your cleaning done in that time.
Random Acts of Video you get the same for the V8! Get to choose one of three accessories kits, They also offered to throw in a bag to organize accesses, but I asked for the “flexi crevice tool” instead and the sales rep added it for free.. plus it’s memorial day sale, so I got the V8 with all that for 374.49.
Do NOT buy it unless ready to subscribe for annual battery replacement at ca. 1/4 of the initial cost! Battery warranty is only 6 months compared to 24 for the machine and dealers refuse free of charge replacement citing the exception, although battery and motor are the 2 main components (remaining is basically plastics). My battery died at month 11 after 50-60 cycles of regular home use, although the dealer said it should last for 500-600. Replacement was still refused. V10 Motorhead
I can't make my mind. I have a small 65m2 apartment with no carpets at all. My floors are granite porcelain, and my two cats shed tons of hair. So I'm guessing the V8 or V10's soft roller head is what I need. But in my country the V8 Absolute costs $450, close to the V10 Absolute's $530. With the V10 I won't have to replace batteries every 2 years, but I like the V8's form factor better. I'd love to get the V10 Motorhead which is only $430, but then I won't get the soft roller. Which one should I choose?
Hi. Have you ever tested 2022 v8 sv25 model. It has 2415 mah battery and 22aw suction power on low mode. In your reviews 28aw on low mode. In my country Dyson customer care says there is no change for suction power, and using time. I can use my sv25 about 30 minutes with motorized tools on low mode. I want to know if low mode suction power lowered 28 to 22 aw how much difference for cleaning performance between new and old v8
Thank you so much for producing such a clear and concise review of these two products. Explained all points so well. Helped me make an informed decision. Eagerly awaiting V11 versus V10 review. Help !
I turned down Dyson's offer to change out my V8 for the V10 because I was not a fan of the dump mechanic on the newer model. Most times you only need the low setting for carpet and the V10 medium is in all practicality equivalent to the V8's low setting. Plus you will have extra stress on the V10's dump hatch because the pipe attaches to it (remember its all plastic construction).
@@mr.nonamanadus4463 we're talking about vacuuming. Besides you have to try and balance the dirt into the trash. When you drop an empty magazine, it doesnt matter where it lands. When you drop vacuumed dirt, im pretty sure you'd care where it lands
That's pretty sofisticated and impressive. I wouldn't expect too much engineering in vacuum cleaner review but I do appreciate it. :-) Thank you a lot!
Thank you so much for this thorough and informative review. My question is , Does central vacuum have more suction than dyson ? My concern is for house with dog. Thanks again
The V8 may be worse. However, the voltage of the V8 is almost equal to most power tool batteries out there. They last longer, are changeable and charge in a fraction of the time. The V10 has a higher voltage, preventing this.
You should not buy Dyson so expensive, common problem with power driven roller heads. Difficult to get spares and are very expensive. Should be at least five years guarantee not two. I will never buy Dyson again
OMG! Thank you so much for your videos!! You answered all of my questions and helped me make a final decision about my purchase. Much appreciated!!! Excellent work!!!!
Thank you for the review. The only thing mission imo is hair as a test material. That is the one thing that matters the most to me. My wife and daughter have long hair and when using the cheaper stick vacuum i bought the hair will get entangled in the roller and be a pain to get off. Not to mention that as i vacuum the effect is less and less the more hair i pick up because they cover the bristles. In this hair test it would also have been interesting to see how both the carpet and hard floor roller would do.
There is actually more than 2 models of the Dyson v8, there is Absolute and Animal like most people know, but there is also Slim Fluffy +, Fluffy, Motörhead and Orgin with the red cyclone. The only difference between slim fluffy and fluffy is the filters are slightly transparent and purplish color, and they don’t have direct drive cleaner head. The Motörhead and Origin is the Motörhead comes with 2 tools which the combo and the crevice tool, and the origin only comes with combo and no other tools. Anyway, very good review I have a V11 and probably upgrade to v10 or v8.
I like my V8 but recently I've been getting shocked when I'm vacuuming. At first I thought it was an electric shock from the battery but I figured out it was static from vacuuming. It will probably go away when we are out of the winter months but really gets annoying every few seconds getting shocked.
I have a Golden Retriever. Been using a corded Shark HV382 and it has repeatedly clogged with dog hair in multiple places and the roller head is pain to clean afterwards regardless. Now have a Dyson V8 and the agitator is far superior. Picks up the dog hair with no issues whatsoever and the little that does wrap around the roller is easy to remove. Not only more convenient but much better vacuum overall as well. Only drawback it will struggle with larger debris without the fluffy head but my kids are big enough they no longer spill cheerios all over the place, so no worries there. V8 is far better value than V10. They perform the same per this video and the V8 is balanced much better in terms of its weight distribution.
I wish I knew you had to hold onto the handle the entire time before opening it up . If I were to sell in on eBay right now, I’d never get close to what it’s retail is .
Excellent Review - he should be doing Ads for Dyson……love the info he has provided. A lot of older people are put off by the razzmatazz of todays Commercials. It is all about the look of the Ad - Car Ads are amazing. We just want down to Earth genuine Facts. I always do lots & lots of Research before I buy Products. Trying to filter out genuine Reviews v the Fake ones. In the old days if we bought a Fridge, Washing Machine etc we knew it would last for about 20yrs plus. Those days are long gone - this is why we have to read/watch Reviews & to check Warranty. People don’t clean/empty their vacuum cleaners after use - not unhygienic. Over filling the Bin overloads the Motor & machine can get very sick & has to go to the Dyson Hospital for repair !!
Im confused... the description of the V8 says run time is 40 mins. Now, I understand that would be the low setting, but your chart shows 25 mins...what happened to the 40 min they advertise?
I believe 40 minutes (manufacturer estimate) is when using a non-powered tool - like a crevice tool for example. The 25 minutes (manufacturer estimate) is when using a powered cleaner head.
FINALLY someone who just reviews a product and doesn't try to be funny. I don't come here to be entertained, just educated. Thank you for your hard work!!!
Thanks Steven.
Seriously, I would watch this guy review anything! Great video!

thanks for the video review, very exhaustive! by the way, in my opinion, V8 "low power mode" should be compared to V10 "medium power mode"

Thank you for the time and effort you put into this. deserves way more clicks! I was about to order the V8 and was searching reviews.. Found your comparison and figured hmm maybe I should get the V10! Turns out I was right with the V8 all along. Thank you!
Are you saying you found V10 is a lot better? I am trying to get V8 or V10 now.
A truly born human vacuum promoter.
Thank you so much for the detailed review. I bought the V8 Absolute Pro on a black friday sale. I think I wouldn’t really need the higher max power on the V11. Very happy with my purchase on a much lower price with better low power mode.
Hello! Guys I barely understand english speech but able to read... Unfortunately auto subs are turned off (could you turn it on please btw?) :( Could you tell me please what decision the author made finally? I'm frustrating between these two models... Thank you!
immick V10 is the best overall cleaner, if budget is any kind of consideration then get V8 as you really wont notice the difference. Buy whatever model of V8 or V10 dependent on wither you mostly clean carpets or hard floors.
Wow! Best review i've ever seen! Thank you :)
Wow. Exceptional Video. Nothing needless.
I just want you to change the name of the channel. Dr.Vacuum
That's a good name. Maybe down the road... Btw the food on your channel looks great.
The V8 makes me feel like I've got some alien ray gun 👽
Excellent rewiev, you are really good at this. I really like your style, your discipline. Keep going. 👍🏻 Thank you this great video.
Brilliantly helpful video that shows the differences between models in a very easy-to-understand format. Still pertinent years later. Thanks to whoever it was that decided to present it in this way.
Excellent review! Accurate and to the point! Thank you!
Thank you for all great reviews. We bought the v8 absolute pro. Very happy with it :)
Thank you for your reviews, they are very thorough and easy to listen to. I just watched three of your videos; the likes and dislikes for the V8 and this video and I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to really showcase the differences between these products. Very good job, thank you.
So v10 or v8 ??? Pls
Thank you for your excellent work, very useful. One more difference I learned on another review on V8 vs v10 is battery replacement cost. V8 uses lithium ion which last less than the one on V10.
Hey VaccumAdvisor, i think itd be an excellent idea for your channel to consider creating a video that in some form lists the top vacuums in respective categories. i.e. under X$, cordless/cord, etc.
Well done review.
No need for the price of a vacuum to cost $300 to $700, absolutely unnecessary.
I’ve had the V8 Absolute for 3 years, great machine, rubbish battery life, using any of the powered brushes on the wand at normal power when new gave around 15-20 minutes. The battery gave less than 5 minutes at the end of 3 years and needed replacing by Dyson at £60.00.
Of course the V11 has superseded the V10 and added lots of benefits, at a aprice
I fix these things every day, both units are piles of shit. For real cleaning you know need to go with a real vacuum. Something that plugs into 110V outlet and has a real motor.
Also you are doing a great job on the review;)
Why do some V8 animal models add a "+" to the model name?
Congratulations on such a comprehensive and amazing review! Bought the V8 after this (3 months ago) and very happy about it!
Good to hear.
baybocukcu How do you like it, how much did you pay?
I just ordered the V8 on Dyson’s website, through their chat feature for 375 bucks after tax. I like the fact that on the V8, if the battery ever dies, you can order a replacement through Dyson, and it’s only three screws that you have to remove to replace it. Ordering on the website also let’s you choose one of three bonus tool kits, and the sales person offered me a free bag to hold the attachments, but I asked if they had the “flexi crevice tool” and he threw it in for free instead of the bag. Can’t wait to try this vacuum out! Thanks for the review!
I find it hard to believe how gullible people are. It is not if but when your rechargeable battery stops working. They all end up in the landfill. Lawnmowers power tools ect. I like to vacuum until I feel that something is clean. With a battery I would rush through the job and have battery anxiety the whole time wondering when the battery will die. This salesman got you to bite by offering you some free tools which you could have lived without. Who only vacuums for 7 min.
Thanks for the review.
I thought I would mention that the battery life has since increased on these (in Australia). V10 = 60mins and v8 = 40mins.
Nice video! Very informative and great presentation. Love the passion! Made our decision a lot easier. Subscribed to support!
Well made video
Straight forward review. None of the fluff. Thank you.
Appreciate your video...I have always thought that Dyson was the "Bose" of vacuum cleaners....Does the job....not always the best all around BUT very expensive. I almost bought into the dyson hype, until you got to the run time of 6-7 minutes on high, then what recharge for 3-5 hours. LOL No thanks
Me thinks you would have to do be a serious sprinter of an athlete to get all your cleaning done in that time.
You don't need max mode for everyday cleaning...
At the current time I am watching this, you get a lot more free accessories with the V10 if you buy direct from Dyson (in the USA)
Random Acts of Video you get the same for the V8! Get to choose one of three accessories kits, They also offered to throw in a bag to organize accesses, but I asked for the “flexi crevice tool” instead and the sales rep added it for free.. plus it’s memorial day sale, so I got the V8 with all that for 374.49.
Any v12 available? better yet, W16?
Do NOT buy it unless ready to subscribe for annual battery replacement at ca. 1/4 of the initial cost! Battery warranty is only 6 months compared to 24 for the machine and dealers refuse free of charge replacement citing the exception, although battery and motor are the 2 main components (remaining is basically plastics). My battery died at month 11 after 50-60 cycles of regular home use, although the dealer said it should last for 500-600. Replacement was still refused. V10 Motorhead
I can't make my mind. I have a small 65m2 apartment with no carpets at all. My floors are granite porcelain, and my two cats shed tons of hair.
So I'm guessing the V8 or V10's soft roller head is what I need.
But in my country the V8 Absolute costs $450, close to the V10 Absolute's $530. With the V10 I won't have to replace batteries every 2 years, but I like the V8's form factor better. I'd love to get the V10 Motorhead which is only $430, but then I won't get the soft roller. Which one should I choose?
Well done! Value throughout entire video
I update that I bought the V10 Absolute and it's fantastic.
Hi. Have you ever tested 2022 v8 sv25 model. It has 2415 mah battery and 22aw suction power on low mode. In your reviews 28aw on low mode. In my country Dyson customer care says there is no change for suction power, and using time. I can use my sv25 about 30 minutes with motorized tools on low mode. I want to know if low mode suction power lowered 28 to 22 aw how much difference for cleaning performance between new and old v8
As for me v10 looks to bulky. Im owning v8 and considering purchase a one more dyson vacuum. So I probably opt to take v8 again.
Lovely review shows V8 is as good as v10
Awesome comparison/review, thank you. Straight to the point, clearly explained. Beats Dyson's inscrutable marketing...
Hi,
Can you please make video about LG Cordzero a9 master
Thank you so much for producing such a clear and concise review of these two products. Explained all points so well. Helped me make an informed decision. Eagerly awaiting V11 versus V10 review. Help !
Absolutely Amazing and Excellent detailing . Thankyou professor
I turned down Dyson's offer to change out my V8 for the V10 because I was not a fan of the dump mechanic on the newer model.
Most times you only need the low setting for carpet and the V10 medium is in all practicality equivalent to the V8's low setting.
Plus you will have extra stress on the V10's dump hatch because the pipe attaches to it (remember its all plastic construction).
Who dumps the dirt out of the v8 with the wand still attached to it anyways
No different than changing clips on a rifle....
@@mr.nonamanadus4463 we're talking about vacuuming. Besides you have to try and balance the dirt into the trash. When you drop an empty magazine, it doesnt matter where it lands. When you drop vacuumed dirt, im pretty sure you'd care where it lands
Very easy to balance and easy to dump with the attachments.
@@mr.nonamanadus4463 not for those with joint or wrist problems
That's pretty sofisticated and impressive. I wouldn't expect too much engineering in vacuum cleaner review but I do appreciate it. :-) Thank you a lot!
I got V8 Absolute. Its battery went bad after 11 months.
Thank you so much for this thorough and informative review. My question is , Does central vacuum have more suction than dyson ? My concern is for house with dog. Thanks again
Thank you for your sharing, it's a good and comprehensive one which I couldn't find from others, keep up your good works, love this!
The V8 may be worse. However, the voltage of the V8 is almost equal to most power tool batteries out there. They last longer, are changeable and charge in a fraction of the time.
The V10 has a higher voltage, preventing this.
You should not buy Dyson so expensive, common problem with power driven roller heads.
Difficult to get spares and are very expensive.
Should be at least five years guarantee not two.
I will never buy Dyson again
Thank you sir. Because of your clear advice and lecture, I decided today and bought a V8 instead of the V10.,
OMG! Thank you so much for your videos!! You answered all of my questions and helped me make a final decision about my purchase. Much appreciated!!! Excellent work!!!!
These are both overpriced. Should be about $250. Maybe 300 with two heads.
Thank you for the review. The only thing mission imo is hair as a test material. That is the one thing that matters the most to me. My wife and daughter have long hair and when using the cheaper stick vacuum i bought the hair will get entangled in the roller and be a pain to get off. Not to mention that as i vacuum the effect is less and less the more hair i pick up because they cover the bristles. In this hair test it would also have been interesting to see how both the carpet and hard floor roller would do.
What budget friendly stick vacuum can you recommend with a completely sealed system along with a hepa filter?
Great video I’m going watch all your videos so I make the correct purchase for my need around Black Friday sales :)
Definitely a Xiaomi v10
My dad says: “you should buy nine of them”
Just picked up the v10 absolute for $399 at Walmart for Black Friday.
There is actually more than 2 models of the Dyson v8, there is Absolute and Animal like most people know, but there is also Slim Fluffy +, Fluffy, Motörhead and Orgin with the red cyclone. The only difference between slim fluffy and fluffy is the filters are slightly transparent and purplish color, and they don’t have direct drive cleaner head. The Motörhead and Origin is the Motörhead comes with 2 tools which the combo and the crevice tool, and the origin only comes with combo and no other tools. Anyway, very good review I have a V11 and probably upgrade to v10 or v8.
I like my V8 but recently I've been getting shocked when I'm vacuuming. At first I thought it was an electric shock from the battery but I figured out it was static from vacuuming. It will probably go away when we are out of the winter months but really gets annoying every few seconds getting shocked.
lol this was pretty funny
Wear gloves
How do they do on long dog hair / golden retriever?
I have a Golden Retriever. Been using a corded Shark HV382 and it has repeatedly clogged with dog hair in multiple places and the roller head is pain to clean afterwards regardless. Now have a Dyson V8 and the agitator is far superior. Picks up the dog hair with no issues whatsoever and the little that does wrap around the roller is easy to remove. Not only more convenient but much better vacuum overall as well. Only drawback it will struggle with larger debris without the fluffy head but my kids are big enough they no longer spill cheerios all over the place, so no worries there. V8 is far better value than V10. They perform the same per this video and the V8 is balanced much better in terms of its weight distribution.
I wish I knew you had to hold onto the handle the entire time before opening it up . If I were to sell in on eBay right now, I’d never get close to what it’s retail is .
Very good , I think I would pick the V8 absolute for the easier car cleaning & I have hard floors at home . Thank you
Excellent Review - he should be doing Ads for Dyson……love the info he has provided. A lot of older people are put off by the razzmatazz of todays Commercials. It is all about the look of the Ad - Car Ads are amazing. We just want down to Earth genuine Facts. I always do lots & lots of Research before I buy Products. Trying to filter out genuine Reviews v the Fake ones. In the old days if we bought a Fridge, Washing Machine etc we knew it would last for about 20yrs plus. Those days are long gone - this is why we have to read/watch Reviews & to check Warranty. People don’t clean/empty their vacuum cleaners after use - not unhygienic. Over filling the Bin overloads the Motor & machine can get very sick & has to go to the Dyson Hospital for repair !!
Im confused... the description of the V8 says run time is 40 mins. Now, I understand that would be the low setting, but your chart shows 25 mins...what happened to the 40 min they advertise?
I believe 40 minutes (manufacturer estimate) is when using a non-powered tool - like a crevice tool for example. The 25 minutes (manufacturer estimate) is when using a powered cleaner head.
I read somewhere the V10 battery life was up to 15 years and the V8 only 2 is this the case?
