Whether you have pets, children, both or neither, you probably like a clean house. Enter the Dyson V8 Plus. It’s a coveted cordless vacuum that’s lightweight and easy to carry around the house and useful for floors, furniture and ceilings. A single charge will give you 40 minutes of cleaning time, and it has famously strong suction that works on both carpet and hard floors, sucking up fur, dust, crumbs, dirt and everything else. And shoppers love it so much, they say it’s “basically a member of the family.”
The vacuum also has whole-machine filtration that sucks in allergens and finer dust as well, helping the air stay fresh in your home. Dyson’s easy-empty design also means you can release all the gross stuff you’ve sucked up with only the touch of a button into the trash can, keeping your hands clean, too. And right now, it’s at a deep sale price for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale at 39% off its original price. While the V8 Plus comes with better anti-tangle accessories, you can also get the original V8 on sale for 35% off.
The OG V8 is Dyson’s classic stick vacuum...
The V8′s versatile design allows it to transform into a small handheld vacuum for stairs or cars or countertops, or you can easily use it on ceilings, baseboards and other hard-to-reach places, as it’s easy to lift and not limited by a cord. Along with the vacuum itself, you’ll get the de-tangling “Motorbar,” a cleaner head designed for pet hair that won’t get all tangled or clogged, a combination cleaning tool with a wide nozzle and brush perfect for cleaning your car, a crevice tool and docking station where it also charges.
...but the V8 Plus has an upgraded “Motorbar” cleaner head and a different attachment.
While both vacuums use Dyson’s V8 motor, the V8 Plus comes with a different accessory to tackle cleaning exactly the way you want to. The OG V8 has a combination tool for cleaning and gentle dusting, while the V8 Plus has a mini soft dusting brush purely for dusting. However, the V8 Plus has an upgraded Motherbar cleaning head, which can better address tangling and pet hairs.
Grab a V8 or V8 Plus and enjoy a two-year warranty and endless years of a sparkling home. If you’re still debating on snagging the Dyson V8 Plus, check out some of these promising reviews:
“Don’t buy anything other than a Dyson! For five years, I bought off brands to save money. This decision ended up costing me more in the long run. I went ahead and spent the money on this Dyson after the other ones simply didn’t clean efficiently. What a difference! The suction power cleans my floors on the first swipe without going over the same spot ten times like the other vacuums! Lightweight and extremely efficient, this is a quality vacuum that makes my life easier and my house cleaner.
My only regret is wasting money on the off brands instead of getting this from the start!” — Susan
“Don’t know how I survived without this Dyson vacume !!! My upright vacume was a beast of a machine,heavy clunker with a 20 ft endless cord. Now it’s a 10 minute job to vacume with Dyson for 1500 sq ft living area. Do yourself a one time buy and be very happy. You will love it . Powerful suction 2 speed beater bar head and soooo easy to clean and empty, no bags no mess just push a button to empty. CAN YOU TELL IM A HAPPY GUY !!!!” — Ronnie
“I bought this Dyson V8 stick vacuum after my Electrolux disappointed me after 1 year of gentle use on hardwood floors and area rugs. The retail price of both of these are comparable. I took a long time to shop for a new stick vacuum that will last with gentle daily use, unlike the Electrolux. So far this Dyson is amazing, well made, and cleans like a beast.
I used this vacuum to clean my entire house on hardwood floors and both low pile area rugs and a large shag area rug. My house has three levels and I was able to deep clean my whole house, including vacuuming my furniture, and I still had 2 bars out of three on the battery. My Electrolux doesn’t hold a candle to this. I would use the Electrolux and was out of battery in 20 minutes and had lug my upright around.
This Dyson is more than adequate to use as a main vacuum and the suction power is impressive. This vacuum was very easy to assemble and is also light weight and easy to maneuver and carry up and down stairs. The latch locks on the attachments are sturdy and don’t break off easily, unlike the Electrolux which broke a latch off in the first 2 weeks. I love the tangle free roller and the pet attachment, which makes my furniture look beautiful.
The things I miss on this vacuum are, no dirt finding lights on the floor attachment, and the trigger style “on switch” needs to be held down while using. The dirt cup is also awkward to empty and doesn’t come off, so you have to open the dirt cup door and pull up on the top of the dirt cup to empty it over the trash can, then pull out hair etc., which gets stuck inside. That said, the trigger style “on switch” is placed in a ergonomic position and doesn’t cause any fatigue in my hand, so once I got used to it it isn’t bad. I can also live without the dirt finding lights. The dirt cup is the only thing I would change about the design of the vacuum, but overall the pros far out weigh the cons and so far I’m loving this amazing stick vac. I also didn’t want to drill holes in my wall for the charging port so I bought a stand for it that accommodates this vacuum and it hold all the tools too and doesn’t look unsightly in my entryway. I highly recommend this vacuum. Don’t let the bad reviews about battery life dissuade you from buying this. The price is great so go for it and buy it!” — RegD70
