Dyson V8

E Expert Reviews Jo Plumridge · reviewer · Dec 2025

The Dyson V8 Cyclone has been around for a good few years now, but instead of quietly retiring it and moving onto something different, the company has chosen to give it a refresh. That makes sense, as there’s plenty of brand recognition there – and, let’s be honest, the form factor has remained very similar over the years.

I must say, I really like this. It's a combination of the the classic that Dyson have had for years. Uh combined with a like a silver and a gray finish. So, overall, as a finish, I think it's really really modern-looking compared to some of the other Dyson that have been around. Uh overall, the capacity on the bin, you're looking at 0.54 L on this model. Uh this that's not changed.

For a Dyson at its most budget-friendly price, the Dyson V8 remains a respected player. The entry-level design lacks the bells and whistles of other models but still offers a comprehensive clean with up to 40 minutes of battery life and two power modes you can manually toggle between.

Uh as you go to the minimum suction, you can achieve around 60 minutes run time, which is very good for this kind of V8 vacuum.

So, if you do suffer with things like dust allergies, then the V10 might be the better one to go for. When it comes to tools and accessories that Dyson provide with each model, they are starting to slim the number of accessories they're providing with a lot of models now. And with the V8, it just comes with this, the cheeky little crevice tool. Although it's a very useful tool, especially if you'r

A few features that I like about this newer model is how quiet the Dyson Absolute is. I also like where they put the high speed switch because I would frequently accidentally press that button on the older Dyson vacuum. Thirdly, I like the new way that you empty the Dyson vacuum cleaner bin.

N New York Post Victoria McDonnell · reviewer · Apr 2026

It’s an exceptionally powerful vacuum with great suction power.

And what I like about it is that you can actually empty the canister without removing the wand. That's something that you can't do with the newer models. Now, compared to the Dyson V15, the handle is considerably smaller, and I think it's a little easier to use and hold, and it's actually much lighter. The main unit of the V8 weighs just a little over 3 lb, whereas the V15 weighs 4 1/2 lb.

Another and probably one of the biggest upgrades is the removable battery. The old V8 has a couple screws somewhere around here. One here and a couple here holding the battery in place. So, if you need to get extra run time, you have to wait for the vacuum to charge. This one you can remove this battery and replace it. The batteries, I believe, are similar size. The actual voltage is higher.

Does anybody else really love the sound of like the that happens when you're vacuuming and you're like, "Oh yeah, I got some good stuff this time." This is the Dyson V8 Animal and I've had it for 4 years and I got to say it still holds up. The battery lasts as long as I need it to go. I've never had a problem where I'm working with it, then all of a sudden it just dies on me.

Both of these are excellent vacuums with their biggest differences actually being in their features and operation. The Dyson V11 is an all-around larger vacuum with greater power and dust bin capacity. It has longer battery life rated at 60 minutes on eco mode versus the V8 rated at only 40 minutes on eco mode.

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.

C Car and Driver Jon Langston · reviewer · Aug 2022

The battery life is the big negative on the V8. It's equipped with two different power levels, and max power lasted just under eight minutes in our test. Shocked, we charged the battery again for 24 hours, and once again, it lasted the same amount of time.

T The French Glow The French Glow · 38.3K subscribers · Jul 2025

Where you will notice a difference in terms of the overall performance is when you get to the larger macaroni. And I think that's related to the suction power on the Dyson on its lower setting on the V8 specifically is not as powerful as medium mode on your Fur Guard. So on the Fur Guard, it does a better job picking up all of these larger particles.

F Forbes Sholeen Damarwala · reviewer · Apr 2026

One downside we noticed is that this vacuum isn’t well suited to high-pile rugs. During testing, we found that the thick fabric typically gets stuck in the vacuum head and, even on the lowest setting, is unable to move through to pick up dirt and debris.

T The French Glow The French Glow · 38.3K subscribers · Jun 2026

And Dyson increased the suction power here as well as made the battery life better. But if you take a closer look at the Dyson V8 Cyclone, you might notice something different because it looks just like this, the original Dyson V8. But actually the internals really mirror what you get here on our Dyson V12 Slim.

M Mumsnet Rachel Erdos · reviewer · Feb 2026

The downsides are mostly ergonomic. The handle has no padding and can dig into your thumb during longer sessions. The on-off button is also positioned so you need to keep one hand free, which feels slightly clunky compared to side-mounted switches.

P Parwaz786 Parwaz786 · 33.4K subscribers · Jun 2026

It's done really well on the left-hand side, and on the right-hand side, on the front, it's not too great at all, unfortunately. But then again, that's what the crevice tool is for. That's really surprising. You know what? Yeah, the V8 is not even the most powerful cordless Dyson, but when I lift the floor tool away from the floor, nothing will even fell out.

T The Independent Joanne Lewsley · reviewer · Jul 2026

It’s not as feature-packed as newer Dyson models, as you only get two attachments, and there’s no laser light to reveal hidden dust. Still, this is a reliable cordless offering excellent value.

So guys, this is the Dyson V8 cordless vacuum. The thing I'll give you some pros and cons on this. Do really like that it is lightweight. So, we had the other Dyson, but this is a lightweight version. It can also obviously do pet hair. You've got the area up top here. This is the filter. This just unscrews. You can clean that. Garbage little can here. This can hold 0.54 L, I believe.

I Ideal Home Article · Oct 2025

And, ultimately, I do think that the Cyclone is a step-up from the original and that Dyson has made definite improvements on the issues that many people had with the older model.

B Bibou’s Guide Bibou’s Guide · 8.8K subscribers · Aug 2026

My pick is the Samsung Jet 75. It offers stronger suction, longer battery options, a larger dust bin, and better filtration. But if you find the Dyson V8 heavily discounted, especially if you have lots of carpets or pet hair, it's still a very capable vacuum.

Pros: Incredible suction, effortless maneuverability, and an improved power button Cons: Limited battery life on max mode, bin requires frequent emptying during deep cleans

I always consider Dyson a little bit overpriced. Um, the new ones definitely are. This is one actually pretty affordable. Let's see how it turns out. As far as this particular bundle, it comes with the vacuum cleaner, the wand, which is like the pole, the soft roller cleaner head, which is good for hardwood floors. As you can see here, I have hardwood in this room, and I have tile, so it's great.

Thanks ! Eh yeah I think the V8 is solid. Still hasn’t been long enough to see what issues could pop up but I know it’s more reliable then a v12 at this point of time.

A Adam's Faves Adam's Faves · 2.1K subscribers · Nov 2025

The thing that's kind of interesting is the V9 actually is not quite as powerful as the V8. The V8 has 115 airwatts of power and the V9 has 100. But I found in the real world both of them perform very well and I didn't feel like one was stronger than the other. I did notice though with the V8 you either have low power or max power.

G Good Housekeeping Megan Geall · reviewer · Mar 2026

It removed pet hair without any tangling though and has a wide array of tools to help with cleaning. One for big homes or spaces.

A Adam's Faves Adam's Faves · 2.1K subscribers · May 2025

But with the V8 Plus, you get a bunch more attachments that make this a much better buy in my opinion. namely the fact that you get the wand and the motor brush on it. And you also get the upgraded mini motor brush that has the anti-tangle screw. Makes it a lot easier to get hair off this if it gets stuck. And then you get the standard crevice tool and you also get a brush.
