What We Love about the Dyson V8 Absolute 

*Couldn't live without it! Does a Wonderful job **MyBest.Tools** cleaning floors of dust bunnies pet hair, kitchen crumbs, etc. Easy to wash, dry and pretty easy to put parts back in place.*

This man can give solid and impeccable reviews. You should totally get paid by Dyson for such a wonderful review. My wife asked me to buy her one but if i did not see this video, i don't think i would have been convinced to buy it! Your review was very clear, medium paced and to the point. Thanks!

Thanks for the review Nigel. You're reviews are extremely easy to understand and I assume that is due to the amount of effort you put into your preparation. Great job!

As a 24 year old buying her first vacuum and wanting something good but not $1000 this video really helped 😊

the v8 is awesome! i initially thought i'd use it for smaller jobs and continue to use an older full size corded dyson (10yrs running strong with heavy daily use, i even beat on it and vacuum the basement ) for most of the house, but was so impressed how well the v8 cleaned the living room carpet the first time i used it i just kept going! the short brush head was great on the furniture and cat towers also. i only used the turbo mode to play with it so the regular mode seems to have plenty of suction power. i agree with some of the comments dyson should make a 2nd battery option for people with bigger houses..but..from the dust container size i don't think this was designed to be a "whole house or big house" vacuum from the get go. very lightweight, comfortable in the hand and easily glides under the bed and places other vacuums can't get to. i've become a "vacuum snob" since my first dyson and def recommend their products...this is one of those instances u get what u pay for, and think the steep price is justified with performance.

5 years later I bought a V8. Cant wait to use it. Great description and review.

One thing that wasn't demonstrated was fully pulling the canister off the V6. It took me a while to figure out that I don't have to ever dig my finger in to pull out fluff if I just pop off the canister all the way to begin with each time. It's not that hard to pull it off and pop it back on every time. When you pull down on the red release and the bottom opens up to release most of the dust, you just pull the canister to the side with your other hand and it comes right off.

After reading every review I could find and every comment and reply here I purchased the V8 with silver wand on the Dyson chat the other night for a great savings over the other wand colors. I got 4 extra tools including the new adapter which enables the use of my V6 cordless and 5 year old animal canister tools with the V8, which incidentally has been available in the UK for some time now. Today I received my new V8, unpacked it, charged it and vacuumed an area rug vacuumed just yesterday with my 2 year old V6 and was amazed at the amount of dust & dirt the V8 picked up! It is so much quieter and easy to empty as well and I am thrilled with it.

Bought a Dyson v8 as my apartment is small so needed something compact instead of the big ball Dyson. It's great. Good suction, love that I'm able to hang it up out of the way. Only downside it is very expensive!! It was 350euro. Hope it lasts. I wonder what the v11 is like. Can't be much difference. Except price.

Thanks for the video. We just unboxed our Dyson Absolute and need to fully charge it first. What surprised me was the manual. It's mostly pictures and symbols so we're wondering which is for carpet, which for bare floor. So your video cleared that up almost right away. Dyson is having $100.00 off right now and if you buy at a particular nationwide store that nets you an additional 20%off. So, what your 2nd video points out in dislikes will seem like nothing to me after years of trying to maneuver an old model Dyson in some pretty tight areas. Thanks again for your very informative video. I'm sure I'll appreciate my new Dyson Absolute.

Thank you so much for your reviews, you helped me so much, and I really like that you speak in a calm voice :) you must be a peaceful person ✌

Thanks. This was a great help in figuring out how my new Dyson V8 Absolute worked, particularly how to empty. Dyson instruction manual not easy to follow.

Awesome review! Answered all my questions and explained everything really well.

Great machine, but I can't believe they did not put a light in front like the other brands have

Thank you, technically in India Dyson is selling older vaccuum cleaner models at a premium

I have had a Dyson V8 for a year and it's awesome !

Nigel is the Bob Ross of vacuum reviews.

I just ordered one and am really excited about receiving it! I have a 550 sq/ft 2/1 condo with carpeted bedrooms, a tile bathroom, and laminate wood flooring in my living room/kitchen and I feel like this will be the perfect vacuum for my little place. Also, I have two cats, so I'm REALLY excited about the HEPA filter and really just being able to get a handle on never-ending the cat hair issue. My previous vacuum was a Shark upright and it did a good job, but it was kind of a pain to use when I wanted to use the handheld portion of it (and obviously it wasn't battery operated), so I think a high-powered stick vacuum will do me well. Thanks for the great vid!

Nothing better than an all-american V8.

Man you're such a pro regarding vacuum cleaners. You're really helping me make a choice. Thank you so much!

I noticed that a lot of the demos for the soft roller head are with fairly large debris. Is it necessary to use the soft head on small debris on bare floors like tile? Thanks.

Thank you so much for your reviews. Especially the information about the suction power. Dyson website is quite tricky when giving you the info on the AW and seeing your videos now I know why.

Verry useful, I thought I’d opened it wrong but it’s that simple

Thank You for the review I found it very helpful in choosing which Dyson to buy and especially about there being no HEPA filter in the V7 and the run times.

You remind me of Ned Flanders. You should grow a moustache!

Just an fyi, I was able to buy the v8 absolute for $535 on Amazon today and with no sales tax. Something to consider if you are on a budget.

This was a great demonstration and review. He didn't say, but I assume the demonstration of pickup/battery life was in standard mode.

Sold. I’m getting one. Thanks for your review - gives me confidence to purchase.

The Bob Ross of vacuums

And does this have a LED light to see the floors being vacuumed? My Eufy had it; powerful suction too but it just died after 5 months of use.

WoW. In the UK this thing is £549.99. I know you can shop around and reduce this slightly, but, good grief that's a hell of a lot of money for an average run time realistically of 25 mins. The fact that they have not incorporated a battery system like the Shark one for this kind of money is a massive fail in my eyes. It should have a second battery to swap out via a clip, not screws just as we can for a cordless drill for example. We live in a three storey town house, so this thing would be useless unless you want to clean over two days!

I used to have a V6 and my only problem with it was it didn't pick up large debris on hard floors. If there were leaves on the floor the brush would chop them up in little pieces and fling them around, instead of sucking them up! Is this problem solved with the new "fluffy" hard floor brush?

Excellent review, extremely informative. I watched your follow up review detailing things you disliked as well. Together you provided the best review I've found. Thank You!!!

The V8 animal is only $320 right now on Amazon and Walmart. Just picked one up.

A noise comparison using a mic on automatic gain. Useful.

Hello. We planned to buy the Dyson v8 absolute but I was asking myself a question. Is the Dyson big ball cinetic much more powerful? Of course on paper it is, but in practice, is it so to such a point, to do without a sweeper wireless?

Great review! After watching this, along with your "Things We Dislike…," I'm going to get the V8. Cheers!

Hi, I just bought a Dyson V8 motorhead extra, does anyone recommend it? so far so good with this vacuum!

Best RU-vid review on Dyson V8. Thank you very much for the great review.

Nice and thorough, don't understand the dislikes

Any plans to review the new V10? Looks like quite an upgrade from the previous models but would be great to get your views. Thanks

It should be noted that he is using max effect mode in all his testing which gives around 7 minutes.

Our rotating pieces stop when they make contact with surfaces. (Brand new product). Any trouble shooting advice ?

May I know whether the V8 Absolute is discontinued? There's a V8 Slim Fluffy+. Are they the same?

Thank you for the review. Do you know how it handles long hair? Does it get tangled around small wheels of the motorized tool, is it easy to remove?

Thanks for your review. Just two questions 1) how did you run your test? In standard or max mode? 2) how often do you need to go in max mode? Thanks for you answer

Is the clipboard included? Also I watched your dislike video in which you mention the weight, yet you like it in this video? I'm confused

Can you please give info on the height till which we can reach with the long pipe..? Like what about some spider web cleaning on wall corners at around 10-12 feets on the ceiling..can we?

I really want this vacuum for my main living area/kitchen in my condo. The hard floor tool is what does it for me. I have my Norwex mop (dry and wet head) but with a white fluffy cat I still like to vacuum the floors sometimes cause those tumbleweeds can blow around and also that fine dust can be hard to get). And I hate lugging my Dyson upright from downstairs where I have carpet to do it with the power bar turned off of course. (I have a small split level condo two flights of stairs!).I also have the DC61 handvac but I can easily pass that on if I get this. Thanks for the in depth pros and cons reviews.

Very good review.. .....you can't clean and entire house with a single charge we hope Dyson heard us and make a model with extra replaceable battery pack.,we hope for that.

Thanks for the great review. Very clear and succinct. Have watched quite a few now on your channel. Just two brief questions: 1. Which attachment would you use for tiles? The bare floors attachment? 2. Can it vacuum liquids and wet surfaces, say for example a bathroom? Many thanks.

I am buying the v8 and v10 next month

I don’t know which one to buy 🤷‍♀️. I don’t mind spending money on good staff. I have big and messy house. I am looking for my 4th vacuum to buy in on year. Vacuum doesn’t last long in my house 😩

@6:00, you kept pulling the Dyson back to attack the pile from the rear, in the Shark video, you only put the vac half way over the pile. Of course the shark couldn't get it, you didn't even give it a chance. It looks like Shark vs. Dyson is a lot like Apple Vs. Android.

Brilliant review! Thank you so much.

Thank you, videos very helpful I think V10 for overall performance.

excellent review! thank you so much for this you answered so many of my ?'s and we are going to buy the v8 today! thanks again!!!

Your reviews are a joy to watch! Is it possible to use the V8 vacuum while it is plugged in?

I just got mine today. Thank you so much for the review.

We have a bunch of Dyson Pure Cool HEPA filters in our house... So part of me was wondering if you can use this machine without the hepa filter attached and get a bit more battery life out of them... Is that a thing that can be done?

How long does battery last in V8 before replacing goes bad?

Excellent review. Absolutely informative

Hello, which Dyson you recommend for only hardwood floors? I thought about the omni glide but it doesn’t bring the accessories that the absolute does and battery life is really short (20 minutes) Thank you for the in depth reviews

very efficient. Does it need water for carpets

Great review! How will this be for left-handed use?

Thanks for your review. Your white low shag carpet makes me feel very nervous though! 😂

Thanks for this very helpful review. Greetings from France :)

Yeah, I agree with you. Dyson designers need to do more research in how to improve owner experience. It's too much work to to clean the machine after several uses. Too much clips and screws here and there to disassemble. Couldn't they just make a screw-in canister instead of those awful clips which breaks easily if not careful. They should also make a bigger battery to last at least 15 mins on Max mode. 6 to 7 mins. is not practical. If they cannot put in a bigger battery couldn't they design easy to drop in battery? So at least when the battery lost its' juices you can just drop in a new battery so you can continue cleaning instead of having to wait 3 to 4 hrs charging time to clean again. You would think an innovative company like Dyson would have thought this through but obviously not. It's just mere commonsense which I think Dyson designers are lacking. There are tons of improvement possibilities. So Dyson if you are listening please get back on your drawing table and come up with a better user friendly design please!

When was this vacuum 1st released????

Great review! Do you know of any cordless hand vacuum (dust buster type) that has swap-able batteries?

Hello, when can you do a Roidmi f8 Storm PRO vs Xiaomi Dreame V11 test & review? Thank you.

Thanks so much for creating your reviews. They're filmed well and you have a good, clear speaking voice. I had one question regarding the soft roller head: do you think it's better on hard floors, compared with using the standard head on hard floors? I ask because I'm trying to decide on getting the V10 Absolute or the V10 Animal. The animal doesn't come with the soft roller head, and Dyson has stated that the standard head is for use on both carpet *and* hard floors. I haven't been able to figure out what the purpose of the soft roller head is! Thanks for any advice you can give!

Oh I think you answered my question abt bin woes from minute 10 to 12 of the video. Thank u!!!

Thank you for the well done video, helped in my decision process! On a side note, I really like your shoes could you please let me know which brand/style they are?

Does this last years? That's what I want to know b4 I buy 1. Thanks.

thanks so much great review just bought mine ships in 2 days so excited 😊

Very factual review, it actually helps​ me with a decision.

We no longer use the weight as quoted by your person . We use Metric units please advise why youi try to sell using an out of date weight.

Great review Nigel. Very helpful ! Thanks a ton !

Really enjoyed listening and learning from you. Thank you!

Can you review the big ball canister?

Can someone tell me if v8 absolute does the same for pet hair as v8 animal?

Outstanding review! Great soothing voice.

Hi, I have a V6 and need to upgrade to a more powerful vac. I was going to get the V8 but know I m confused with that, the V10 & V11. I purchased a corded Miele which is brilliant but I need a powerful suction cordless. Please also confirm if the hand held is quite powerful as the V6 is not. Thanknyou

Is this the first Dyson cordless with an electric powerhead? Was the powerhead on the V6 series and before powered by air?

Good review and well explained. Thanks!

Excellent review, excellent reviewer 👍🏽

Great job on your reviews!

Bottom line for daily house hold use and occasional spilled cereal is this worth the money

will the dog hair get trapped om the vacume head?

Would you buy the v8 absolute in 2023????

@6:30 LOL I'd call that a fail for how expensive this is compared to others :/ Still have to play the lift in front and pull back game eh :D

So I was at bed bath and beyond and was about to buy the v8 when thank god unnoticed they changed the tool adapter part. The v8 can't use the 10 other dyson tools I own. Wth. Why does no one mention this 1st thing

Mr Rogers does reviews ?

This is really thorough ty! V8 in the mail 🥳

Thank you for review. Do you know may I clean a car with this vacuum?

Hey VacuumAdvisor, if i have to buy a model between the V8 and the cinetic big ball, wich model i need to choose? I want the dyson the most powerfull, leave NOTHING Thanks

I love my Dyson thank you .

Shoes on in the house?
