![]() When I turn on the max mode, the rolling speed of the head is the same but the suction is a lot more powerful. Even in normal mode, the head can pick up fine dust and large debris very well. The head is covered in soft woven nylon and carbon fiber filaments. Of course, you can use the direct-drive head but the soft roller head is much more efficient on the wood floor. Most of the time, I use the vacuum with the wand and soft roller head to clean hard floor. However, it’s notable that the new motor is significantly more powerful than the one on V6. The V8 has the suction power of 115 Air Watts while bigger vacuums often reach at least twice that power. In terms of specs, the handheld cleaner can’t compete with its bigger brother. I tested the Dyson V8 mostly in the max mode because I want to see how it compares to the full-sized upright vacuums. A full charge will take around 5 hours and all the lights will turn off when the battery is full. There are 3 lights and they will help you know when you need to return it to the charging dock. So, I can clean the floor in all 4 rooms of my apartment before the battery is drained out.Īnother minor but highly-appreciated change is the LED indicator showing the current battery level. I find the battery life is good enough for me because the vacuum is powered on only when I press the trigger. When you use the direct-drive or soft roller cleaner head, the battery life is just 25 – 30 minutes in normal mode or 7 minutes in max mode. Dyson stated that the battery life could last up to 40 minutes, however, it only could last that long with non-motorized attachments in normal mode. The biggest concern of Dyson vacuums is battery life. In fact, you don’t have to carry that weight, so the vacuum is actually very lightweight and easy to maneuver. The total weight of the vacuum body is 5.75 lbs and I really appreciate that some heads have the brush bar motor, so it feels more balanced when you use the vacuum. The system feels easier and more robust than any other handheld vacuum out there. I can also transform it from a full vacuum to a handheld one in seconds. Just press a button and slide the attachment out, then snap another attachment in. I can easily move the vacuum and clean different places in my house. ![]() I really love the cordless vacuum because it’s much more portable and I don’t have to deal with the mess of long power cord. There are actually some notable changes here. We are seeing a similar design with 2-tier radial cyclones, HEPA filters, a red trigger, a big dustbin, and the same plastic exterior. The minimal design and solid build will make it something you can proudly hang on the wall of your living room. So, this is actually a very clean setup.ĭyson brings the same design philosophy to the new V8 Absolute. In real-life usage, I hardly use the direct-drive head because I don’t have any carpet while the mini motorized tool is used occasionally when I clean my sofa or mattress. That means I just need to keep away 2 attachments. This is the concern of many consumers, fortunately, you can mount the docking station on the wall to keep the vacuum with the attached extension hose and cleaner head, along with the combination tool and crevice tool. The variety of attachments makes it the most versatile handheld vacuum but it also causes the storage problem. Inside the box, you will have the vacuum body, a soft roller cleaner head, a direct-drive cleaner head, a mini motorized tool, a combination tool, a crevice tool, an extension hose, a soft dusting brush, and the docking station. As I expected, the Dyson V8 Absolute comes with all kinds of accessories.
