Dyson V8 on Amazon: https://geni.us/TXm50Q

This guy must have the cleanest house in the world.

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 YouTube video on how to do it.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

3:38  the battery is removable you have to unscrew 3 philips screws one near the hepa filter and 2 others near the bin on the bottom

Thanks :) And the cat was clearly enjoying being vacuumed haha 😅

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 🙌🏻

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.

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

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