Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum (New Version!) Is it Worth it in 2023?

lol at vacuuming the cat 😂 picking up the hair straight from the source!

[@rewind-j]

Brilliant review! I'm in the UK but I bought because of you. To the point, no hanging about, great graphics, great summary. Amazing. The trouble with your channel is that I don't have much value in subscribing because I dont plan on doing this research too often - but I wanted to take some time to thank you, it's really appreciated.

[@VacuumWars]

Awesome, thank you!

[@milanjuressen6375]

Having used it for 4 months now… how has it held up? I’m looking to buy one. Just want to hear your feedback after some use!

[@conradclipper]

It’s fantastic. No negatives from me. Good build quality, good power, easy to use, lightweight. Perfect for my house and does a decent job with mild cat hair too.

[@Olliebobalong]

Worth pointing out that the battery is removable. it’s just not quick release. It’s three screws and Dyson sell replacement batteries at a reasonable cost on their website at least in the UK, and they even have a KZbin video on how to do it.

[@harisjaved1379]

V8 has to be one of the best model! Wer are using the old v8 animal and I think it’s 5 years old now and it still works amazing. The battery is still good. I just wish it had a flexible attachment

[@chrissnydez]

We got one two months ago as we just renovated from carpet to hard floors. We had the Dyson Animal prior and I was kind of expecting to use the V8 only but with the battery life I find myself using it only on the stairs and for spills (say coffee grounds in the kitchen and things like that). To do the weekly "deep" clean around the house we're still getting the animal out to vacuum rugs and do the dusting on baseboards, fans and other areas. I will say though having the convenience of being able to grab this off the wall and not deal with cords for quick cleanups can be described as a lifestyle change for the better. If you're OCD like me, chances you are if you're watching this video, I'd recommend it especially for the price point.

[@wigglywrigglydoo]

The ball corded version?

[@chrissnydez]

yes@@wigglywrigglydoo

[@delwigzieful]

Excellent the V8 bought it 3 days ago it does what i want it to do with absolutely no problems great review bro cheers.

[@a.girl.has.no.name_]

Mr. Vacuum Wars (I don’t know your name) - thank you for every review you do. Your approach and diligence is appreciated 💯 any vacuum/air purifier purchase I make, i am always sure to use your links to help keep this operation alive. You are a rare gem on the internets 🙌🏻

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!!!!

[@lorismills8869]

The V8 is still my favorite for the shape of the handle etc. Much easier to use and empty. YAY for Dyson recognizing the value!

[@MrZics]

They also have an Absolute model that includes a soft roller head so the hard floor performance shouldn't be an issue!

[@mattbriggs7319]

And the refurbished V8 absolute is only 199 which includes both heads.

[@Soggstermainia]

I have been using an early Dyson V6 absalute till I had a mishoop the other day and I made it not so functional (dropped very heavy metal onto it and it died). So after over 8 years I finally needed to upgrade. I didn't want the v15 cos I felt I preferred the style, shape and weight of the V8 than the v15. I use it alot freehand so that matches what you said. I have massively upgraded the battery life, max suction is a bit better, the stainless dustguard inside is much better than the old plastic mesh (I got a tear in mine). I disliked the new powerheads when I first tried them, felt like they just tickled the surface but I have come to really like them with a bit of use. The suction seal is better so leads to less aggressive brushing but just as effective cleaning. The low power setting feels like its alot less than on the V6, but it is tons quieter, cleans juat as well, then when you go to max its a hair quieter but a much nicer sound, so a win in my book. On full power I get some more of that fine packed dust out too. Though max power is short on battery life much closer to the v6 battery life, the drawback is that the longer recharge on the V8 means you tend to want to vacuum on low everywhere then hit max for the worst spots only. I did this on the V6 already due to its smaller battery but still have to despite the "longer runtime" on the V8. I am sure the longer low power life is the lower suction and more effecient powerhead more than reduced consumption of the vaccume fan itself. Not sure the about the washable HEPA filter though. I am happy, its a solid upgrade, was disappointed bye the accessories all being a different style so had to get an Absalute again and couldnt reuse the old ones. Cost was ok. Its a Dyson not a cheepo but $549 AUD delivered seems ok to me. Given my last one was over 8 years old and on its third battery I think thats reasonable as I paid probably 100 more new for the V6 than the V8. I think the auto variable speed and the wet mophead "submarine" would be the ideal upgrade for this one. That wet head does not use suction so the V8 feels like it would be ideal to upgrade with. A comparison of the old V6 with the new V8 in low and high and battery life would be an ideal addition to this video to help people who are replacing a device know what the differences actually are before they buy. Just a though for how future videos are done, as comparisons to past models may seem un-needed but they are informative. As users frequently look to videos to see how the new model stacks up and compares to their old ones.

[@adrianoawz2676]

to note the battery on the v8 is removal and changeable with 3 party battery which have more capacity I did it as the standard battery didnt work very well anymore. you just need to unscrew I think 4 screw but it is very simple imo.

[@KrystianDąbrowski-t5s]

As always, great review, thanks :) Thanks to your video, I chose the V15 and I'm very happy with it. One thing you could take into account in your tests is that the carpet nozzle is not very good at dealing with the straw that our rabbit scatters on the carpet. This may be a challenge for new vacuum cleaners.

[@MrZics]

A carpet sweeper might be ok for picking up straw. Depends on how ingrained into the carpet it is.

[@tinadsouza2167]

Happy about my purchase now. Vacuuming your sweet kitty convinced me even more. ❤Excited for the Dyson to arrive!

[@VacuumWars]

Yay! Enjoy!

[@myNEONCITY]

Please consider reviewing one of the Karcher VCN cordless vacuums (3, 4, or 5). It’s a V8-style cordless made by a German company known for their commercial cleaning equipment. It has very promising customer reviews and a claimed runtime that matches the V15. It would be nice to see a brand you haven’t covered before. Thanks for another great video.

[@tlou2685]

I am from Austria and Kärcher as a German company enjoys a very strong position here. But to be honest: They are too expensive for their cheap plastic and less power compared to Dyson. I don‘t really like the Kärcher products my dad bought in the past but i have three Dysons (oldest from 2006) and all of them work. Only a battery change is necessary after a few years.

[@brianpreller5554]

Bought this a few days ago and the version I got comes with the soft roller for wooden floors. Picks up larger debris easily.

[@VacuumWars]

That is great!

[@mace6141]

My favorite vacuum KZbinr. ❤ These videos are amazing and satisfying

[@VacuumWars]

That is so good to hear! Thank you!

[@lydiajones4727]

Exactly- his reviews are on point. No wasting our time

[@Acreyman]

I think the two filters deserve mentioning. There is the usual cap at the end you need to clean, but also down the middle in the container section of the handle. That extra filter should keep the HEPA filter from getting clogged as much. The V10 is basically junk after two years because dirt starts to seep in through the seams of the canister and immediately clogs the filter.

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

The V10 and above still have a pre motor filter, it's just built into the end cap

[@CornPopsDood]

You can’t figure a way to seal it?

[@olhesty2196]

The reason I prefer this style of vac over the longer newer versions, is that I can easily open everything up and blast out all the stank nastiness that resides deep in the vac with my air compressor. Can’t do that with the ones similar to the V15 style. Bout a year ago, I bought Dyson’s top of the line V15. 😮, that sucker was immediately packaged back up and sent back to Dyson. Wouldn’t own one if they were sold at 25% of their asking price. Just no way to get the innards clean. Without an air compressor, I have no idea how y’all are cleaning out your vacs. Trust me, if you see the plume of funkiness that an air compressor gets out of your vac, you will be buying an air compressor!

[@andreapage5229]

The review is super, thank you 👍 I loved the end! That cat loves vacuums as much as you do, I'd estimate.

[@Damitsall]

You don't know what it's like to have your best friend completely erased by a Dyson V8. One minute we are eating a snack, the second my friends arm is already in the dustcup. Once we got home we were going to go the Sizzler!

[@wchardin]

I understand that you don’t put prices because they are subject to change, but could you put the MSRP price and not just the $$$$. Thanks! Love the reviews!

[@andrewford80]

Which currency?

[@Musettube]

I really hope Dyson restyle next vacuums with old handle design, it was so balanced in the hand and easy to use. I have an old V8 and what hold me from buying new generations is weight and awful balance, I don’t use carpet so V12 fluffy laser head tempted me but his dust bin is smaller. So I hope in next generation smarter design.

[@ariauroic]

I bought the new V8 just a few days before you released your review. This is an accurate review! Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks! We hope you enjoy your new V8!

[@calmdreamtv]

I have this version. I upgraded from an older Dyson handheld (dc61) the new v8 is fantastic!

[@matiastrane7598]

Is there a visual difference between the old and the new model? I'm looking to buy the new model and i am concerned about buying the old one by mistake. Can't seem to find a picture that tells the difference between them

[@crimejunkie1]

I have the old v8 and v11, guess which one I reach for and which one I hate? gonna have to give this new one a go too.

[@Tina-ys5ij]

Just purchased this. Seems like it's going to be great but is it true that you have to hold the power button the entire time you vacuum? No way to switch it on and off?

[@VacuumWars]

That is correct. We hope you still enjoy it!

[@Jason-oz9pp]

I still have 3 original V8's that I've since converted to work with Dyson batteries. Still terrific vacuums. Edit: (Not Dyson, Dewalt batteries!)

[@VacuumWars]

Cool!

[@prtbone78]

V8 is a dyson it should work with dyson batteries !!!

[@Jason-oz9pp]

How did you convert it to use DeWalt batteries?

[@prtbone78]

BTW u knew what you meant Jason. Lol was just messing with ya

[@Ninjuca99]

Is the gen 5 worth it or the gen 5 outsize

[@Nasse83]

What vacuum would you recommend for my household? All hard floors and long haired cats so kitty litter and kibbles on the floor. Im not looking to spend 1000€ on it, something 400-600€ 20-30 minutes of battery is sufficient.

[@Jeo-What]

Thank you for the review. I really wish Dyson would put the laser into the motor head since the wheels does not get clog up quickly by the animal hairs like the soft roller and it can also work on the small carpets without swapping out the head.

[@PaulMcElroyWasHere]

Does the new V8 come in the same trims as before? V8, V8 Origin, V8 Animal, V8 Absolute? Whats the difference between them all? Is the Origin just a target exclusive version of the basic V8? How do you know you're getting the refreshed version?

[@PaulMcElroyWasHere]

The V8 Absolute is on sale right now for $280.

[@montymaverick]

What can you get done in 9 minutes? And how long does it take to charge? P.S. Thanks for the review. :-)

[@twiglet2214]

Vacuuming the cat looks handy - i have a pet giraffe - would the V8 vacuum an adult giraffe or should i change pet to something smooth like a rhino or an elephant please ?

[@theobserver9565]

We own the original V8 and it has 2 stage filtration, do the new v8's and the V8 origin have 2 stage or just the hepa? You didn't mention this.

[@KiranKumarBokkesam]

What I don't understand is why is this channel so underrated?? It doesn't even have the tick or check mark 😕

[@jenweatherwax7113]

Could you please make a video about what is okay and NOT okay to use the dysons to vacuum? I.e. dry rice, cheerios, popcorn, beads, powder, etc. I think people would love that! I’m always uncertain what will destroy my vacuum

[@autononomic7202]

How do you know you have the new model? Is there a different model number?

[@andrewford80]

This is what I want to know too!

[@TheSazansavar]

i can't seem to find front filter replacement for this specific new model. Will the old Filter types work for this one?

[@PIxiedoll17]

HELP I’m a new Dyson user. I was just gifted a V-8 origin. A big step up from my old Eureka brand dick vacuum. Although I can’t seem to figure out if I have to press on the red power button the whole time or if I can just have it stay on somehow? I vacuumed for a few minutes, and my finger was hurting from holding down the power button . With my old Eureka, I would just push it once and it would stay on as long as I needed it too, and push it again to turn it off . That doesn’t seem to be the case for this V8.

[@AnoopKhetani]

Had a useful video idea for a while but was waiting for the next dyson video. The user is able to buy individual accessories separate from the provided bundles for their dyson models. Like hoses, motor heads, crevasse tools etc. Wonder if you could do a full video on the backward compatability of these accessories. If an accessory from older models work with newer models and vice versa. It'll make shopping for accessories much easier.

[@jpmavichana]

I am loving my Dyson Outsize+. I got it brand new from Offer Up for $350.

[@clip012]

Is this V8 Absolute or V8 Slim?

[@lesleyprince6180]

Is this considered the Origin then? I am learning about Dyson's V8 Animal after a friend gave it to me because she thought it died. I brought it back to life for at least 2 years. I recently purchased the Shark Smart Detect and I am not sure I really like this. So I am researching as I am considering returning the Shark to get the Dyson

[@jameslooker4791]

It seems that the V8, V11 and V11 Outsize will have endurance in the Dyson lineup for many years.

[@VacuumWars]

People seem to be really happy with those!

[@sebastianmagnaldi3361]

hey mate ! really like your videos ! could you please cofirm is dyson chargers are dual voltage(110-240v) i live in Argentina i here we use 220v and i really want a dyson

[@Taylor1989TaylorsVersion]

I’m so sorry, but unfortunately, they are not. American version are not dual voltage, but if you can get one from the UK market, it will run at 240 V.

[@mrp_27]

What I almost never see is focus on decibels. Which cordless vacuum cleaners are both powerful and silent? 🤔 By silent I mean under 78 dB

[@kechidonick]

This one or the Shark Detect Pro? I can't decide.

There’s some 3rd party adapters for the V8 that can use power tool batteries you can swap with on the fly. Vacuuming for hours if you’ve got multiple batteries.

[@prtbone78]

Exactly. Wahh 😢

[@oeljay]

Well the old version was considered non removable because it was screwed in. You could still buy new V8 batteries. Could be the same here.

Identical setup as the original, remove the screw, pull the battery and replace it.

I bought a V8 in 2016 and used the heck out of it until I gave it to a family member. She still uses it all the time. I did replace the battery (it's easily removable with a couple of screws) because it didn't run long enough to cover my entire 1700SF. I don't see any improvements to the accessories on the new V8. That small motorized brush roll is a downgrade, IMO, because the brush doesn't come close to either edge like the older one did.

[@martinmoravek1645]

The power settings are not "low power" and "high power" but "normal power" and "high power" 😉
