The V8 Absolute’s soft roller brush was excellent, between five and nine inches, but there’s noticeable hair wrap on longer eleven and twelve-inch strands. The Animal version is a little more powerful than the Absolute, with 40 minutes of run time when charged. We will also be shedding light on two models you will find online – the Dyson Animal+ and Dyson V8 Total Clean. Its base and connection points make it easy to change out the smaller cleaning tools with the Dyson V8 Motorhead. As mentioned before, the V8 comes with a bunch of accessories, including a telescopic tube that’s perfect for general use.

This can be uncomfortable for some people (people with hand and wrist injuries, for example), but for most users shouldn't be a problem at all.For example, homes with hard floors will benefit from the V7 Fluffy since the Soft Roller attachment works best on this type of surface. A large red tab on the handheld unit with a bin icon is what you’ll need to pull when the dustbin needs emptying. Below is a rundown of the available accessories and attachments for the V8, and most importantly, which model comes with what accessory. While the animal works well on hard floors, the motorized head is better for bare floors and large rooms. The V7 can operate for about 30 minutes before it needs to be recharged, and the V8 has a 40-minute run time when fully charged.

The presence of the Fluffy tool makes the V8 Absolute better at sweeping large debris like Fruit loops and Cheerios. The Dyson V8 Absolute has two filters – one pre-motor filter in the middle of the cyclones plus a HEPA filter behind the motor. Both vacuum cleaners offer a direct drive cleaner head and a combination or crevice tool, but the animal features a smaller motorized brush head. All the Dyson V8 variants come with a direct-drive cleaning head making them ideal for vacuuming carpets and embedded dirt. The Dyson V8 Absolute is the best choice as it is equipped with cleaning heads for both hard floors, as well as carpets.The crevice tool also worked great for getting into tighter areas, like into door bins, behind pedals and in-seat folds, and is long enough to counteract the V8’s larger body than most other handheld vacs. Where other budget vacuum cleaners don’t have the power or the right design to ensure dirt along skirting boards and corners get sucked up, the V8 can handle the 90-degree angle along the edges of rooms and in most corners as well. On the other hand, as a handheld, you can clean upholstery, baselines, and even use it as a car vacuum.
