By far the most in-depth review of this product. I needed to hear from someone who takes cleaning seriously. Thank you!
Thank you for mentioning the trigger! I've never heard anyone point that out before. I have arthritis in my hands and that trigger hold is a deal breaker. Again, thanks....you saved me a hassle!
I'm so glad that was helpful for you! I figured it might be a deal breaker for some people.
Hi I have had mine for a couple years and have some hand issues also but the trigger is very light to depress its basically the same pressure you use to pull the trigger that you use to hold the handle it’s not an issue unless your using 20lb of pressure to pull a 1 lb trigger ...
This is the best V8 review I've seen on CZcams and I bought mine based on your exceptional video. Thank you!
What do think abt it so far? I saw it on special and I'm debating🤔
I have this too and I love it, I love to do the small cleaning more often than just big cleaning once in a while lol.
Yes, that makes it so much easier!
I really loved everything about this video. The review was thorough and informative, and your bright personality and upbeat delivery just made me really wake up and pay attention. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
I have a V8 origin and and older V6. I love them both so much. Entirely worth the money. I use them all of the time. Truly the easiest way to clean with Dyson. I got the v8 for $249 at Target on sale. Only reason I got a second was because I needed to replace the filter and couldn’t wait for the delivery. I love it that much.
Thanks so much for your run thru about the Dyson V8 Animal! Just got mine and I’ll be trying to it out tomorrow. 🤗
Hope you enjoy it!
We just bought this on Black Friday and ran into a few bugs. So, googled V8 Animal to see if others had same problems and found your video as being the most recent. You certainly clarified some of the issues that we are having and we found it may be more operator error rather than the vacuum. Going to check out some of your approaches tonight when we get home and see if that resolves it. Thank goodness for CZcams.
Love this Live Laugh Love RVing! I'm so glad it was helpful for you.
this was an amazing review, thank you! I purchased my dyson tonight and I cant wait to use it!
Honey i put my husbands DEWALT BATT PACK SAME STYLE BIT. RUNS TO 1.5 -2.05 hours
Just bought this today. It is charging. Can’t wait to use it!
Well done ! We just got this Dyson V8 and your video is very helpful
Thanks for reviewing the docking station. It answered the question I was most curious about.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for a thorough guide on how to use it too especially emptying the vacuum because I am a Support Worker and one of my clients had this vacuum. I was able to figure out how to get it off the docking station, vacuum using all the attachments but I couldn't work out how to empty it from all the dust and dirt. I asked if she still had instructions, unfortunately she had not kept the instructions. When I see this client tomorrow morning I will be able to empty the vacuum of dust and dirt in the bin for her before taking her on the Shopping and Community Support. Also next week on her Domestic Support I will be a lot more efficient in using her cordless Dyson vacuum throughout her apartment.
Much appreciate this information
I use one everyday. Four indoor/outdoor dogs. One sheds like crazy. This vacuum handles all of their fur with ease. A longer battery life would be nice. It lasts a decent amount of time on the lower setting. The higher setting is extremely powerful. Easy maintenance, lightweight. Very maneuverable. Got one for $249 at Lowe's. Highly recommend if you have pets. Your home will always been clean because this vacuum is so convenient to use.
Thanks for sharing Tom Foolery 👍
Great review! You put a lot of energy and details into it and answered all my questions. I'm headed to Home Depot to buy one. Thank you!
+Rik Gno Thanks! I’m so glad it was helpful for you!
This was such an informative review! Especially around the battery life
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Best V8 review I have seen so far! Thanks for making this for us, it definitely helped me make my decision.
Thank you for your honest opinion.
Very good video. I had all the attachments but was not using them. After watching your video I realized what I have been missing. Thank you and I did subscribe.
The best review I've watched on this!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful for you.
EXCELLENT job
Love how you explained it too
Great review , looking at getting one for my channel fora vs kirby Avalir 2, think battery life would be an issue. as i do like to deep clean with kirbys on my channel.
Love this
I have been wanting it for LONG time
This review was very helpful and detailed, thank you! I just ordered mine.
Glad it was helpful!
This was such an awesome review! Just bought this vacuum and I love it :)
Yay! Thank you!
Great video, I just bought the Dyson Pro Animal and love it. We travel in an Airstream and it really makes cleaning quick and fun.
Thanks M Miller! Our friends who live on a sailboat are actually the ones who gave me the idea to try out a cordless vacuum. I'm so glad I did. It's one of the best home purchases I've made!
Do you have to hold down the trigger with the animal one?
Great review!! Answered all the questions me and my wife had and more!
Great to hear!
Thanks for the review. On Amazon you can purchase extra attachment holders.
Nice review , thanks for all the detail ! 💕
Thank you for this review! It's very helpful.
A great review, love your details about care and cleaning. I vacuum till it needs to be recharged...then allow it to cool for 15 mins. then pop it into the dock. I do not recharge when the battery pack is warm. Thanks for your video. :D
Thanks Iris Mcnab 💗
Letting it cool down before throwing it back on the charger is actually a huge deal. It will save the overall long term life of the battery
Excellent review! Thanks so much for this very detailed review ❤
Hows it holding up so far and would you buy it again ? It have any charging issues ? Really sounds like it needs to be redesigned with a 30 minute rapid charge like cordless drills have Dyson.
One of the better V8 reviews. Thank you 🙂
Thanks!
Great review, thanks for the info.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great review!!!!! I really appreciate it! I just bought mine today and did not know how to use it. This video
really helps a lot!!! I am hesitant to keep it or return it considering it is too much for the cordless vacuum, i paid $399 at lowes today. I think i am going to keep the vacuum. Thanks again!!
I have a cordless vacuum,could your help me to test it?
I've been going back and forth about buying it.. watching alot of reviews but yours answered so many questions, not just how well it works but the practicalities of it in REAL day to day use.
Thank you for your time
Glad I could help!
I was just ready to purchase this vacuum and read the reviews on the site but wasn't too sure so I thought I better check y tube for more information, and I'm so glad I came across your video you gave a great review thank you, I'm definitely going to purchase it 😊
Glad I could help!
COVID19 ... I have to do the house cleaning myself so I need a good cordless vacuum. Your video made me buy one.
Excellent review, thank you so much!
I bought the v7 motorhead during the Black Friday sale at Target and love it but it didn’t come with all of the attachments. Instead of buying the attachments separately I just ordered the v8 from Dyson and will return the v7. My house isn’t huge so I can normally get what I need done before the battery runs out. I highly recommend this especially for people who have pain/medical issues.
Thanks so much for sharing this Sandy Patrice
The V7 doesn’t have the HEPA filter, instead I purchased the V8 animal.
Excellent review! I’ve watched five different Dyson V8 animal vacuum reviews so far, and I’m so happy to have come across yours! You really hit all the points and went over every question I had. I appreciate you taking the time to make such a detailed video. I did have one question though, I have fake hardwood floors. I forget what it’s called, but it’s just the standard flooring that looks like hard wood, but it’s not real. Can I use the regular head on my floors or should I get the additional felt head that you can buy??
Nola Girl Thanks so much 💗 Are your floors scratch resistant, or do they scratch easily? A lot of the fake wood floors are more durable than wood, eliminating the need for the soft head.
It's called 'Laminate' flooring...
You'd be better off using the soft power head. Why take the chance of scuffing your floor?
Ducati Dude Yeah good point, thanks
It does have a Post filter under blue cap on end by back of handle
Nice job on the review !!! Your a natural...
Good, balanced explanation. Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you for your review.. it was very detailed and helpful!😊
Glad it was helpful!
are those accessories included when you buy the v8 animal?
Best review all over youtube. Excellent job 👍👍👍👍
Can you use that on a regular carpet? Or are they specifically used for wood/tile floor? We are poor and only have a carpet
do you think its better for floors or carpets?
Hi, where did you purchase the console table underneath your TV in your living room? It’s beautiful!
LolaboneC Thanks! I got it at Kirklands.
Great review. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jackie K 💗
My Mom has an Orick Stand up Vac and a Miele Canister ..She just purchased the Dyson V8 Animal Because of this video..She wants something light.. She paid $224.99.. Oh and I just had to go buy the Hardwood floor main attachment for ($105.00) Thanks for doing this
JFPriest Love this! Thanks so much!
Hi, the thing you did not mentioned is if the heads are anti hair wrap so you don't have to remove hair wrapped around.
Many many thanks 😊 Great review 🇦🇺👍
Hi Coral - thanks for the fantastic review! I am considering purchasing this vacuum. How does this vacuum do on tile floor with grout lines? How does it handle debris that is pushed up against the baseboards - is it able to grab, or do you need a broom to sweep debris away from the wall/baseboards?
jenpen1517 The majority of our house is tile and it works great on all our floors - no issues with the grout lines. And I don't have any problem at all with picking up dirt against the baseboards.
Thanks for a very thorough review, would have liked to see some physical tests to see power/battery life attributes! Well done otherwise! Go Astros!
When the battery is fully charged do you take it off of the docking station? Like is keeping it plugged in after it’s fully charged kill the battery?
this video was very helpful. I bought the Shark Rocket Pet Pro and I keep finding myself wondering, "Should I have gotten a Dyson?" I still have time to return the Shark, so I think I might just do it! Thanks for the review!
How do you get dog smell out of the filter?
Thorough review 👍🏽
Thanks Juju Bees 💗
What about carpet like the one of your video?
Which one’s quieter between this and the C10 animal?
I loved your super informal review, and bought the Dyson Animal V8 because of it! It's on sale rn, and I am very excited about using it!
Also, where did you get your CUTE blouse? Love it as well.
So glad it was helpful for you!
My top is from Target.
how's the battery life now? has it dropped? thinking of buying.
Great review! Thanks for sharing!! 2 dogs 1 cat 2 teenagers! :)
You're a really lovely person. Geat video!
Aww, thank you!
Reward her with 8 inches
Great review, I think it would be nice a suction power demo.
Thanks RicharXD ! That's a great idea if I ever do an update video for the vacuum.
I’m totally going to buy this sometime within the next few months! I live in a two bed, two bath apartment and corded vacuums just drive me crazy lol plus I just got a cat too so it would be helpful to be able to vacuum up some litter and toilet paper that she decides to tear up 😂
Outstanding review!
Thanks for watching!
As you have long hair, are you having to detangle your hair from the brush bar all the time. I hate that about my v6 a long haired girl and Mum in the house and I’m constantly removing the brush bar to get hair off and out of the bearings
How do I clean my Dyson?
Thanks for your review ! My Gf and I got this for Xmas from her uncle and I've been using it. I'm also a clean freak especially when I'm home alone lol. When I first unboxed it I couldn't use it because it had to charge ,so I did that and instead used my regular vacuum for this session. The first time I used it I realized it took HOURS for it to completely charge. After it charged I used it on our wood floors and sofas . It must have been 20min after that I realized it already had low battery! I remember the box said it last up to 40min so I was taken aback on how fast it died. I got to hit a little bit of a room for a test run ,but that was it. I charged it again completely and used it the following day. After I vacuumed up my Husky's fur and did a little run in certain places of the apartment ,I again realized that my battery had already gone down one battery life in less than 10 min. I thought maybe I got a messed up one so I decided to come on here and see some reviews . It turns out the battery life just sucks. It works really good when it's charged , but like you said , if you are going to do a deep clean make sure you have one of those big regular vacuums.
P.s
No relation to the guy below me .lol
Thx 😊
How heavy is it?
how well would you say it functions for long human hair? do you shed a lot of hair? cause I do and A LOT and I worry my long hairs will make the vacuum get constantly stuck and I that I have to clean it too often :/ that would be annoying! DX
I just bought this vacuum yesterday on a whim when it was a super great price at BBB (Black Friday sale). I wasn’t sure if I wanted it or not, but am glad I got it-time to break it out of the box!
Mama Ray I think you’re going to love it! It has been a game changer in our house. I think it’s one of the best house purchases we’ve made.
How much did you get it for? Target has a sale today but not sure if I should wait for cyber Monday
Angelica Ponce I paid $187 (plus tax)
It was in sale and BBB had 25% off coupon before noon yesterday.
Seemed like the best price I had seen this vacuum for.
As I was looking a lady came up and grabbed one and then there were only two left, so thought I would get it and I could always return if I don’t want it.
This review was good and positive, so I have charged it up this morning and will be vacuuming soon!
Mama Ray thanks for the info! Last question What store did you get it?
Angelica Ponce she got it at Bed Bath and Beyond
Has anyone tried this with dyson zorb powder?
We have This one too We love it and got it at Kohl’s for 250. Have you seen the new animal ? Do you think you will upgrade to the new one
JJ Le Bon Wow $250 is a good deal for this vacuum! I haven't seen the new animal yet, but I haven't even had this one for a year yet, so I'm sure I'll stick with this one for a while.
Thanks for the great exercise video. I just follow along and swing my arms like you when you're talking and I get a fantastic workout. I've noticed a great increase in my forearm strength in only four weeks. Just messing with you. This is a fantastic video. Very energetic and you cover all the cool points about this vacuum and it's attachments. Very informative and fun to watch.
+retrodog63 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a HUGE “hand-talker.” I’m honestly surprised that you are the first person to mention it!
@@CoralHoyt Maybe I'm the only one looking for a new vacuum and a high energy workout video at the same time.
retrodog63 😂
Can you hang this vacuum and do you have to buy a different attachment?
The vacuum comes with a dock that is made to be mounted on the wall and it comes with all the mounting hardware.
I just want to say, I love your name!
Thank you so much!
Would you recommend using command strips to hold the docking station? We don’t want to drill into our wall.
Enrique De León that's tricky. I totally understand your concern - I use command strips all the time to keep from making holes in the wall. I think it might be a little too heavy for them though. It's worth a shot, but I would be careful that the vacuum doesn't get ruined if it falls.
If u buy the soft motorhead will it fit the animal v8?
Yes, just make sure you get the one that is made for the V8.
Bom dia. Obrigado!
how does this work on the wood floors?
I've never used it on wood floors. But I've heard it works well with the fluffy head - the regular head can scratch hardwood floors.
Hello!! Ive got cats too! But every time I clean the sand that falls of the litter box using my vacuum, it does suck the sand in, but when i turn it off the vacuum just spits out all the sands that it sucks in. Is this dyson litter sand friendly??????
I do sometimes have issues with cat litter. The trick that I've found that works well is to hold the trigger for a few seconds after you're done vacuuming up the litter. This seems to get the litter all the way into the dirt collector so it doesn't fall out when you release the trigger.
Expensive for what it is, needs atleast a 4500-5000 mAh battery, but it's VERY convenient if you don't have wall-to-wall carpeting. There's also a tube attachment you can find on Amazon that makes car cleaning much easier since cars are basically 80% crevices and nooks.
What is the attachment....?
Hi I bought it and I charged it for 5 hrs and it only lasted 10 mins is that normal ..it also got really hot
No, I don't think that's normal. I would contact customer support.
I loved it until you started pointing out the cons of the vacuum it would probably be just perfect for me but the short battery life and five hour charging time may cause me to look into other things. I wished you would’ve shown how to clean the Motörhead a thank you for your review it’s very helpful!
Where is that white tv stand from??
It's from Kirklands.
Always wanted this vacuum. Bought one on sale today at Sam's club. Got it mounted; charged for 3 hours. So disappointed right out of the gate. On high setting, it only lasted about 8-10 minutes. I vacuumed the Living Room Rug (7x9). Proceeded to Master Bedroom... Only vacuumed about 4x4 area before dying. It had a full charge. So very disappointed. Wasn't expecting the 40 minutes as advertised... I figured I would get 20 minutes out of it.. But OMG... not even 10 minutes. Back on the charger.
(UPDATE) Just got to the point in the video where you explained the max power lasts about 7 minutes. I will try the lower power and see how that does for me.
Merry Christmas..
Merry Christmas to you too JFPriest
What kind of warranty? Is it worth the extra they try to get you take as more warranty?
I think it's a one year warranty. I've had mine for over 3 years now and it's still going strong.
Show me how to empty canister
Where did you get your lamp on the table?
Jenni O'Connor I got it at TJ Maxx
@@CoralHoyt mine are the same, but I bought them 2nd hand
Love
