Dyson V8 Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Review: Unprecedented Stick Power

A compact cordless vacuum cleaner is a device that saves the user from “happiness” getting confused in electric wires. Units of this type differ in modest dimensions, maneuverability and versatility. The Dyson wireless V8 vacuum cleaner from the world famous English brand was no exception.

What else can this wireless unit boast of? We offer a detailed overview of the vacuum cleaner with a description of the technical equipment, performance, equipment and features of the Dyson V8 Absolute. In addition, we pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of the wireless unit, and also compared the model in question with its closest competitors.

Dyson Battery Review

The device, invented by British engineers, fully claims the status of universal technology. The wireless machine can be used in a wide variety of cleaning options - from flooring to the ceiling area.

The duration of the vacuum cleaner from the batteries under normal suction power is 40 minutes. This time is enough for cleaning a standard two-room apartment.

If you need to clean the premises of an increased area, you can take a short break to rest and simultaneously charge the battery.

Specifications of the Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner:

The developers of version 8 added a definition to the brand name - Absolute (absolute, unlimited).

Indeed, from any point of view - design or technological, the Dyson v8 model looks like an absolutely flawless device. Let's see what this modern design of cleaning equipment offers users.

Features of the wireless sweeper

Given the complete difference from traditional designs, accordingly, you need to anticipate a completely different configuration.

Accessory kit for Dyson cordless household cleaning equipment. This package has the 8th version of the Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner

A set of accessories for efficient operation of the Dyson V8 modification vacuum cleaner is provided in the following assortment:

• electric brush + direct drive;
• electric brush Fluffy;
• miniature electric brush;
• extension tube;
• universal and crevice work nozzles;
• charging station;
• Power Supply.

If we consider the features of a wireless machine, the first thing to do is evaluate the universal nozzle for direct drive. Power consumption when working with a universal nozzle is 35 watts.

Carbon nylon brush for universal nozzle

The bristles of the universal brush head, made on the basis of nylon and carbon fiber, contribute to the thorough removal of litter, including very fine dust.

Due to the location of the bristles over the entire width of the nozzle body, it is possible to capture a large area of ​​the treated surface in each pass.

All constructive versions of working nozzles that are permissible to use in the mode of cleaning the premises with a vacuum cleaner. This set of tools allows you to achieve perfect cleanliness of the serviced areas

The practice of cleaning has shown the effective action of the universal nozzle of the Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner in the most difficult conditions, according to manufacturers.

At the same time, any type of flooring is supported by a universal nozzle, including:

• pile;
• carpet;
• solid;
• soft and semi-soft.

Soft pile roller nozzle

The execution of this cleaning tool from the point of view of the bristly base is almost the same as the execution of a universal brush.

But the cleaning tool with a soft roller is noteworthy in that it guarantees high-quality cleaning of surfaces where there are cracks and joints from debris.

A working nozzle with a soft roller and two types of bristles is one of the most commonly used surface cleaning tools. Allows you to effectively clean areas where there are joints and crevices

Due to the voluminous soft roller, the nozzle adheres tightly to the surfaces, the brush pile penetrates deeply into the cracks and removes accumulated dirt.

This is a kind of innovative Dyson solution for the wireless design of the V8 version. Innovation - direct integration of the engine inside the nozzle.

Type of universal nozzle in disassembled condition. The mechanism for rotating the soft roller and bristles is integrated directly inside the housing. If desired, the user can disassemble using a regular coin

This engineering approach made it possible to precisely center and distribute pressure and weight during operation. Therefore, the efficiency of the nozzle with a volume soft roller is clearly visible in the corners, at intersections, at transitions, etc.

The manufacturer claims that there is no electrostatic effect due to the use of carbon fiber.

Engine and technology of cyclones 2 Tier Radial

The developers have equipped the design of the wireless vacuum cleaner with an electric motor controlled by digital electronics. For the configuration of the Dyson V8, the motor power is enough to ensure high quality cleaning (dust intake).

The main electric motor of the vacuum cleaner provides a high level of power for its class. Relatively low noise level in the "normal" mode allows you to work in comfortable conditions

The electric motor in operation is powered by the energy of a nickel-cobalt battery. The theoretical duration of the operation declared by the parameter is at least 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, if a direct drive nozzle is used, the power consumption is 35 W and the machine’s operating time is reduced to 25 minutes.

Details of an operational nature can be seen in the following video about the production model Absolute:

However, thanks to patented technology 2 Tier Radial, intensive mode, even limited to 25 minutes of time, is enough to perform high-quality cleaning.

Moreover, a perfectly clean cleaning due to the work is provided. 15 double row cyclonesoperating in parallel, increasing the power of the air flow.

The unique two-row module of cyclones is noted for its effective work on screening garbage from the air stream. This ensures long-term operation of the fine filter without the need for replacement

It is worth noting the presence of a special power regulator included in the engine control system. Thanks to the regulator, the user can switch the vacuum cleaner from the normal mode to the “Turbo” mode. But there is one caveat!

In the “Turbo” mode, the machine is able to work out no more than 7 minutes, as the power of the device rises to the “maximum” border. This mode is designed for unusual cleaning conditions.

About the Dyson v8 Absolute Filtering System

The developers of the Dyson wireless model characterize their unique air filtration system.

A filter element that provides fine cleaning of the air flow. The filter cloth class corresponding to the HEPA class is used. Therefore, the outlet air is cleaner than indoors

Technologically, the cleaning effect of such a system gives the following result:

• capture of the smallest particles (0.3 microns);
• reliable delay of allergens;
• reliable barrier to microorganisms.

According to the manufacturer, due to the HEPA fiber filter that complements the cyclone compartment, the air at the outlet of the vacuum cleaner is cleaner than inside the premises being cleaned.

Therefore, the Dyson V8 model is ideally suited for people suffering from hypersensitivity of an allergic nature.

Thanks to the convenient and easy reconfiguration of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, a variety of surfaces, including ceilings, are available for cleaning. Different types of nozzles allow cleaning in any conditions

By the way, equipped cyclone filtration system the vacuum cleaner model is well suited for cleaning work on high surfaces - ceiling, shelves, superstructures.

It is also convenient to work with equipment in the conditions of cleaning furniture or floor areas located under furniture.

Dust and other contaminants collected by a powerful suction stream accumulate in a garbage container. Dyson specialists announce the use of a new waste container cleaning system. Thanks to which the user gets rid of collected garbage in one motion, without coming into direct contact.

Additional facilities for the convenience of the owner

From other original fixtures of the design, an auxiliary accessory stands out - “dock station».

This is a kind of parking module that the user can place (install) where he considers it most convenient, for example, to fix it on the wall - a classic installation.

The parking place of the vacuum cleaner is the so-called docking station. A classic installation is wall mounting, but other options are also possible, depending on the preferences of the owner

The parking module provides the process of recharging the vacuum cleaner batteries and at the same time acts as a repository of the machine itself and the entire working set. Structurally, the “station” is designed in such a way as to save the area of ​​the space where it is installed.

Another optional accessory is removable pipe - accessory that virtually everyone is equipped with models of vacuum cleaners Dyson.

Thanks to this accessory, the sweeper can be quickly and easily turned into the most convenient technology for specific difficult to reach cleaning areas.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Dyson V8

The design and operational advantages of the British development Dyson v8 has significantly more than the minuses.

One of the obvious advantages of the model is the non-contact dumping of collected garbage. The container is simply placed above the waste bin, after which the user opens the lower flap with one movement of the lever

If you rely on the practical use of technology, you can confidently highlight the following advantages:

• an extensive assortment of nozzles;
• sufficient suction power for this class of models;
• when working in normal mode, a low noise level;
• comfortable, sufficient handle bar;
• convenient collection control for garbage collection;
• effective cyclone filter;
• beautiful appearance.

Meanwhile, with all the uniqueness of the design, innovative design “features”, the device is still not without drawbacks.

One of the obvious disadvantages of the model is the wear of plastic parts over time. This is the case of the container (jammed muddy plastic) after a certain period of operation

The number of shortcomings, of course, can not be compared with the number of available advantages, but they are:

• increased noise when operating at maximum power;
• sensitive heating of the case at maximum power;
• most of the parts are plastic.

Another disadvantage that many owners complain is the very limited cleaning time (7 minutes) in the Turbo mode. True, they note that it is extremely rare to use this option.

In the Dyson product line, the V8 model is not the only representative of the class of wireless technology. If you are looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with this rating.

Owner opinions on Dyson

The majority of owners of Dyson V8 consider purchasing a vacuum cleaner a very successful event. But there are also such users who noticed a number of shortcomings and inconveniences in the design.

For example, one of those who happened to buy equipment and use for pleasure, notes that he tried almost all wireless models. To do this, attended the showrooms. As a result, I found out that I didn’t either buy anything, or take version 8 Absolute.

Some owners indicate a decent weight design. At the time of cleaning, you have to shift the vacuum cleaner from one hand to another. Not satisfied with the short duration. They write in reviews that 30 minutes in normal mode and 10 minutes in “turbo” is not enough for a full cleaning.

There are owners who call their purchase “UFO”, alluding to the colorful design and wireless power system. An important part from the operation side is also noted - the lack of a bulky, uncomfortable corrugated hose.

In general, how many happy owners of a cordless vacuum cleaner are so many different reviews. However, positive opinions prevail.

Competitor models in this class of vacuum cleaners

The attention of many well-known companies is now focused on cordless vacuum cleaners. Therefore, competition in this segment is fierce.

Competitor # 1 - LG A9DDCARPET

A significant confrontation for the described model is provided, for example, by the LG A9DDCARPET vacuum cleaner. LG technology has a slightly higher price (a couple of thousand more expensive), but it offers the best performance.

Thus, LG's suction power reaches 140 W, and the battery cleaning time is similar and is 40 minutes without a Power Drive Nozzle ™ nozzle, with a nozzle - 30 minutes, in turbo mode 6 minutes. Also in this model, Dual PowerPack is implemented - the technology of replaceable lithium-ion batteries.

The waste bin capacity of the LG A9DDCARPET is smaller and is 0.44 liters. This model has a Power Drive Nozzle brush, a slotted and combined 2-in-1 nozzle.

Competitor # 2 - Xiaomi Roidmi F8

Another competitor who manages to kill user sympathies not only with market value (20 thousandrubles), but also decent technical specifications - Xiaomi Roidmi F8. Its design, like the Dyson V8, provides a two-in-one cleaning mode - lower and vertical.

Power consumption - 415 W, provides suction power in the cleaning mode up to 115 watts. The capacity of the garbage container, however, is small compared to Dyson (0.4 liters).

The battery is one with a capacity of 2500 mA / h. She keeps the equipment working for 55 minutes. But the set of nozzles is rather modest. True, there is an opportunity to understaff.

Competitor # 3 - Thomas Quick Stick Tempo

The even lower price tag (10 - 11 thousand rubles) is shown by the next competitor from Thomas, who received the name of the model - Quick Stick Tempo.

True, such a low price is due to more modest performance. The dust bag is hidden from view, but there is a fill indicator. Duration of work on one charge - no more than 20 minutes.

The battery has a capacity of 2000 mA / h. It takes 6 hours to fully charge. Power consumption - 150 W when working with one universal nozzle "3 in 1". The volume of the waste bin is brought up to 0.65 liters.

The design weighs 2.1 kg, but in manual transformation, the weight is reduced to 1.5 kg.

Conclusions and the best deals on the market

The practice of operating the Dyson v8 shows the main factor of such models is user convenience. Light weight and small dimensions make it possible to manipulate the device more efficiently.

At the same time, the quality of cleaning is noted at a decent level. Wireless technology is evident with pronounced advantages, despite some moments of inconvenience associated with recharging the battery.
