When we first got the Dyson® V8 Absolute, we were impressed with its quality and effectiveness. It had all the features a good “stick” vacuum should have - good suction, cordless but with reasonable run time, useful accessories, maneuverability, and lightweight to make it easy to transport throughout the home and up and down stairs!

We now have 4 years of heavy use history and are happy to report that we have been very happy with our purchase. We have become quite adept at cleaning out the powerheads from time to time to assure they continue to do their job well. If the time comes to replace the rollers or other parts in the powerheads, it will be easy to do.

We’ve also learned that you need to keep the filters clean. They remove A LOT OF DUST, so they have to be rinsed out and dried about once a month to assure the vacuum will work as it should. In fact, if you let too much dust collect in the filters, the vacuum will “pulse” letting you know that you have a clog somewhere or the filters need to be cleaned.

Fortunately, cleaning the filters is quite easy. Both need to be cleaned (the cyclone cone filter and the exhaust unit). We overlooked the cyclone filter because it looked clean to us, but the unit kept pulsing. When we put the cyclone filter in a bucket of soapy water, the water turned dark brown right away. So, don’t overlook this hardworking component when you service the unit.

We are also pleased to report that our concerns about the battery were unfounded. The battery is still going strong, charges quickly, and appears to still be taking a full charge. We thought we’d need a spare battery, but that isn’t the case.

Bottom Line? We remain enthusiastic about the Dyson® V8 Absolute and highly recommend it for general cleaning tasks throughout your home! While we don’t have any direct experience with any of the other models that have come out since we bought our V8, we suspect they will be as dependable and durable as the model we have.

JUST DO IT YOURSELF.
