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.

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 KZfaq video on how to do it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
@tlou26856 ай бұрын
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.

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!

If an accessory from older models work with newer models and vice versa. It'll make shopping for accessories much easier.

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.
