Let's Delve into the Dyson V8 Absolute: Worth the Hype?
Detailed Evaluation of Dyson V8 Absolute Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
When it comes to cordless stick vacuum cleaners, Dyson has taken the market by storm, and their latest offering is none other than the $849 V8 Absolute. But how does this baby stack up against its predecessor, the V6 Absolute?
For starters, let's talk power. The V8 boasts a mighty motor that churns out approximately 115 airwatts, compared to the V6's lower but still respectable power. The V8's superior suction means it'll suck up more dirt, pet hairs, and dust bunnies, even on the most stubborn carpets[1][2].
Now, what about battery? The V8's seven-cell lithium-ion battery promises up to 40 minutes of runtime on a single charge, with fade-free suction. That's a hefty improvement from the V6's roughly 20 minutes of runtime[2][3]. And if you've got your heart set on longer cleaning sessions, the V8's battery is swappable, giving you the option of double the cleaning time with an extra battery[3].
But what good is all that power if the vacuum can't access the nooks and crannies? That's where the V8 shines once again. Packed with a suite of tools, the V8 is ready to tackle any mess, from hard floors to high ceiling corners and everything in between. And as an added bonus, many of the CHOICE staff found themselves surprisingly enjoying the experience of keyboard dust-free keyboards[4].
So, is the V8 Absolute worth the splurge? If you're new to the world of stick vacuums, or if you're looking for a vacuum with more oomph and longer cleaning sessions, the answer is a resounding yes. It's a CHOICE Recommended product, and for good reason[4].
