Features and Benefits

Lightweight and cordless design

Dyson has proved once again that portability is an achievable feature for powerful vacuum cleaners. With its cordless design, balanced and lightweight motor, and wall docking station, this vacuum is easy to take wherever you need to go. Like all of the Dyson cordless vacuums, this device can easily be converted into a handheld unit. This makes it perfect for any minor spills that don’t require heavy vacuuming. Its various accessories and attachments allows the Dyson V8 to clean areas that other vacuums simply cannot.


Powerful suction

While the Dyson V8 may be one of the more lightweight and portable vacuum cleaners on the market, it does not compromise on suction power at all. The Dyson V8 digital motor was engineered to differ from other portable vacuum designs. Rather than simply reducing the size of their normal vacuum motors, they created an entirely new motor that spins up to three times faster. This high speed is what generates the incredible suction power, allowing this vacuum to perform so well while keeping portability in mind.


Up to 40 minutes of battery life

For a cordless vacuum, battery life is a very important factor to consider. The Dyson V8 is capable of performing for up to 40 minutes of continuous vacuuming. This gives you an ample amount of time to clean the entire house, and its convenient docking station makes charging the device very simple. Charging times will vary depending on battery life, but for a full charge it will take around five hours. While this may seem like a substantial amount of time, the battery life of the Dyson V8 gives you plenty of time to get the job done.


Easy to clean hygienic dirt ejector

One of the most highly praised features of this vacuum among consumers is its incredibly easy to use cleaning system. With a trash can nearby, simply pull up on the dirt ejector handle and the bin will automatically be emptied in a single motion. This completely eliminates the messy cleaning operation that is common among standard vacuums, and makes it less likely for the vacuum to be clogged by built-up debris.


Extremely versatile with included accessories

The vacuum cleaner provides so much versatility thanks to the numerous attachments that are included. Two seperate cleaning heads allow you to easily switch between carpeted and smooth surfaces. A convenient docking station lets you keep this vacuum out of the way, and its simple release system makes it easy to remove the vacuum and hang it back up once finished. A multitude of attachable accessories allow you to spot clean in tight spaces, easily vacuum your mattress, and even remove cobwebs and other debris from the ceiling.


HEPA filtration

One of the easiest ways to keep your home allergen-free is by using a vacuum cleaner that has HEPA filtration. These work so that any allergens and other fine particles will be trapped in the filter rather than being blown back into the air. The Dyson V8 features two stage HEPA filtration, with a pre-filter that will collect any small particles so that the main HEPA filter can capture all of the allergens and expel cleaner air.
