Dyson V8 Review - 12+ Tests and Analysis

Dyson V8 on Amazon - geni.us/wsGuW
The latest updated list of cordless vacuums we recommend: www.consumeran...
In this video we test the Dyson V8 for raw power (CFM and suction), long term suction (flour clog test), surface level pickup (on carpet and hard floors), deep cleaning, battery life, debris containment (fog test), hair tangling, and ease of use (weight, handling, control, and dust bin size).
The V8 is far from a perfect cordless vacuum, but it's a good option for the price. It's the best cheapest Dyson we've tested.

What I don’t understand is why you always give data based on max settings. Max makes it fade very short run time, Dyson actually advise on their website under Battery Care to try and not using Max setting. Max causes the battery to warm up, resulting in getting less run time quite quickly for due to battery degradation. Also the V8 filter captured the fine dust from WITHIN, so the outside of the filter as you showed, will look spotlessly clean because we are exposed the the wrong outside part.

likely because not using max results in poor performance. I agree with other comments that he at least run a series of battery duration tests at his recommended max setting. will likely have to find another review for that. this is on prime for $299

Since battery life is an issue Why wouldn’t you test how long it takes to fully charge the battery.

I believe it's around 5 1/2 hours, if I remember another video I watched on the V8.

Test the Ryobi vacs. They just announced two or three more too. Dyson is overrated
