The V8 is from Dysons latest line of nine powerfulcordless vacuums.

But what sets it apart from the rest of the models is its price point.

For added convenience and versatility, convert the machine to ahandheld vacuum.

thanks to its lightweight, ergonomic design.

We also collected data points on battery runtime, maneuverability and clearance around and under furniture.

Next, we tested the crevice tool to vacuum furniture, cleaning between tight cushions.

Throughout our testing, the vacuum delivered roughly 30 minutes of fade-free power!

Lastly, we followed the manufacturers cleaning and emptying instructions.

While Sarah has only been using the vacuum for a few weeks, shes already smitten.

Ask my husbandI vacuum way too much.

It brings joy to my life!

Sarah loves the long battery life, powerful suction and bounty of attachments.

(And I often operate it one-handed while Im on my phone.)

The suction is powerful and reliable; no crumb or speck is left behind.

Cleaning the canister is so simple and satisfying, too.

We strive to recommend the very best products using honest and fair testing practices.
