Dyson V8 Animal

Current price NZ$499 looked a bargain compared to the latest offerings - and it is!
Does everything that was expected of it; better than the V6, and easier to empty with the newer mechanism.
Throw in the additional, small powered head, and it's the complete answer to any cleaning situation.
Our 3rd Dyson, and won't be the last.

I used on my carpets and wooden floor as well. It's just if they have something for cars. It would be icing on cake. It doesn't have proper equipment for cars.

I use this vacuum on both my tiles and carpet.
I like the fact that you can select the strength of suction. I use normal suction on tiles and deep suction on carpet. Would be surprised how much extra dust it picks up even after vacuuming with our other vacuum cleaner. Only drawback is that if using deep suction it will not vacuum the whole house so by breaking up between deep and normal the battery will last

Easily mounted on the wall in our laundry for charging and storage.
Quiet motor.
Effective rotation brush for cleaning a variety of surfaces without impacting negatively on the surface.
Efficiently and effectively cleans tiled areas quickly.
Design is creative from the aspect of cleaning under hard to get at areas. It is versatile.
We have found the product effective, especially on tiles and wooden flooring. It lacks effectiveness in thoroughly cleaning particulate matter from carpets. We like the product, however, I believe it lacks the drawi...

Bought this three months ago. Has worked fine and done a great job until today. I switch it on and the engine ‘pulses’ before stopping indicating a blockage. I clean the dus bucket after every use and have washed the filters every month everything is clean so where is the blockage? Phone Dyson ‘support’ every time I try I’m on hold for 10-15 minutes before getting cut off without speaking to anyone. Finally after the third call I get through to someone. She is quite helpful and starts trying to solve the problem only to be cut off again halfway...

The suction is only half as good as my old Miele. The dust clogs the filter up every few minutes. It’s constantly stopping because of said clog up with only a quarter full in the catcher. It’s cheap plastic charging station is clumsy. You have to constantly change the head pieces for different floor areas. It’s actually the worst product I’ve ever purchased. I expected so much more with all the hype. Waaaay over rated.

I use the animal on floor tiles and carpets . 2 settings clean and deep clean . Easy to clean filters after and empty' ' hired a handy man to attach it to the wall in my living area always charged ready to be used.

We use the Dyson each day for just a quick vacuum of the house which is carpet and tiles. Such a great item when you have a couple of cats, A quick vacuum and you can see how much it picks up amazing. Could not do without one and this is one product that gets used every day.

I did try so many vacuum spend so much money satisfaction I had with dyson it’s invaluable now everyone in my family and friends have Dyson vacuum it’s amazing on carpet,wooden floor any kind of surface

This Vacuum has great power and is easy to charge and has a few useful tools. The 2 things I would like to be changed in a new model is the button that you have to press for it to stay on, it's exhausting holding that button continuously while vacuuming, it should have been hold down and it would get pressed and then you can vacuum and when you are done, you should be able to release the button. Also another battery would have been super useful to increase cleaning time.

I use this Dyson on my floorboards & carpet.
Actually- this vacuum could work anywhere! Even the car. Picks up all the hair that’s stuck in carpet, In between cushions of couches, bathroom. This is a fantastic vacuum. Easy to clean to avoid build of hair. Excellent choice for anyone that has an animal that sheds hair.

I purchased the Dyson V8 animal from David Jones 4 years ago. The Vaccum had done an amazing job. I have all 3- Tiles, timber flooring and carpet and it always does an amazing job in all 3 surfaces. It is really handy when you have kids out and about as its a cordless vaccum and simply easy to clean up mass made by kids within minutes. It is definitely worth having one around.

I would give it a 5 star but i am starting to have battery problems now. But it has definitely done it job in the last 4 years.

I use in hard timber floors and carpet with excellent results. easy to change accessories to clean difficult corners. Conveniently installed in the garage to charge, battery last long enough to clean the whole house.

The brushes really lift off the hairs and fur bits of pets in the house. Sometimes it vacuums up so much, it can clog up with the longer hairs of my dog. Just have to take the head off the stick and clear it. Canister a little hard and awkward to empty, though, thus 4 stars. Battery lasts for ages and easily available when a replacement is needed. Using is easy and effectively efficient on all surfaces. Would recommend.

Very user friendly. Easy disposal, no mess, no touch. Easy storage. Makes chores so much joyful. Great job for staircase, around edges and narrow gaps, corners. Great for blinds too and window seals too.
