Dyson V8 Absolute: should I buy it

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The bottom line: Before there was the heralded Dyson Cyclone V10, there was the V8 Absolute
This cordless dust-buster may not be the newest model in the lot, but it has plenty of power and clearly displays Dyson's renowned design
Maneuverability and its quiet presence are also big plusses
battery life
Dyson says it lasts up to 40 minutes, but most reports indicate this is when you are using attachments that aren't the motorhead brush
This means that standard cleaning with the V8 is going to last about 25 minutes before you need to recharge, which takes four hours minimum
before you can reuse the vacuum again
There are also complaints that the pistol grip isn't comfortable.Dyson V8 Absolute: Everything you need to knowAs noted, the Cyclone V10 has
powerful vacuum that can clean hardwood and carpet, handle everything from crumbs to dog hair, and comes with three separate attachments for
specialized cleaning
Absolute is billed as up to 40 minutes, but that goes down to up to 25 minutes when you use the motorized cleaning head
So, if you are using a hose attachment, you could get up to 40 minutes of cleaning power, but if you are using the standard motorized
attachment, that time will be much less
You'll also have to recharge it for at least four hours before you can use the V8 once the battery drains out.Design: Being a cordless
vacuum, you can take the V8 Absolute with you anywhere in the house, or even outside it
You can hold it up to suck down cobwebs, or use it to clean your car seats
It's adaptable to different cleaning environments thanks to its swappable brush heads
a much quieter vacuum than many on the market, which could be due to the HEPA filter
Not only does this capture allergens, but apparently it helps muffle the sound
This is a plus if you'd like something quieter that doesn't bother you or those you live with.Performance: Let's not overlook the V8
Absolute's performance
It runs on a Dyson digital motor V8 and is equally adept at cleaning hardwood floor and carpet
Able to capture everything from the finest dirt to long animal hair, the Dyson V8 Absolute will leave your floors cleaner than before it got
to them.Anything elseThe Dyson V8 Absolute is still one of the best cordless vacuums on the market, and there are loads of them
to be a fan favorite for a reason
It works really well, it's lightweight and it's versatile
