Agreed. The V8 model doesn't require the stick to be removed to empty either, so is very convenient.
Dyson though, keep your receipt and push if you have a battery fail. Our battery lasts about a year and a half, and we rarely use the max power mode setting. We've had it replaced twice by dyson but are now out of warranty.
It seems they want their batteries to fail. I've had 2 Dysons and the battery has failed on both after 1 year to 1.5 years. It's a feature.
But when you've spent like mega bucks on a vacuum like this even on a discoint it isn't good enough.
Not disagreeing with you on the battery, however Dyson seemed to have good aftersales service, at least for me.
Have a V6 that the battery died after 2.5years, contacted dyson and get replaced for free somehow (was going to argue CGA but there is no charge). Failing again after 1 year, replaced under warranty and given another 1 year warranty on the battery.
That's a V6 running for 5 years now and still strong. The only complaint I have is the size of the dust bin.
@spam: That may be the case but it highlights the flaw in their products. If you bought a 2k mobile phone you don't expect it to be fixed in 12 months, then again in another 12 months, irrespective of how good the warranty is.
It's a vacuum, and no one should spend more time doing anything else other than that, lol.
The problem with these Dysons is the controller. Keeping them charged at 100% 24 seven eventually destroys at least one cell. If they had a switch that would limit there charging to 80% these batteries would last at least five years. I've replaced batteries twice and now I use my Dewalt flex volt with an adapter for my V6, last a couple of months but only uses for small tidy up jobs anyway. I use another V6 at my batch and that only lasted two years, but only minimal use. So now I unplug it and that was four years ago . I have also taken the battery pack apart and found the cells charge 100% only 4 being faulty after a few charges so I suppose it's a bonus getting 18 18650 batteries.
You can get adapters so you can use power tool batteries, just search aliexpress for what ever brand of tools you have batteries for
The issue is why spend mega bucks only to spend more money after 12 months? Makes zero sense.
@Discount Code: zero sense for consumer not for manufacture.
i sold the battery and i use my power tools, been using the same one for a few years now.
+1
I run makita batteties on my v8 and it's great. A 5Ah battery lasts ages and if it goes flat mid-vacuum I swap it out for another.
Unfortunately there are no adapters for my v10 (voltage at 25V is too far out for a makitas 18v.
We had a V8 and I would not recommend (on hard floor and carpet). It would miss a lot that a regular vacuum would easily pick up. Battery life wasn’t great either. Replaced it with a V15 Detect and so far that has been very good all round albeit more expensive.
Lol like $1000 more expensive.
Agree with larger items on hard floor, its better but not perfect on floors eg. Cat biscults.
For dust, hair and smaller objects it works great.
I think the carpet forms more of an encased area of suction.
I got Dyson v8 on boxing day i would say it's fantastic it's the lightest Dyson it's compact it's easy to empty rubbish . It's also a sealed vaccum it makes a difference which I though would not
I have the v7, is the v8 much of an upgrade?
May be check YouTube videos I think v7 is discontinued,
This deal expired at midnight last night but still appears to be available on The Warehouse app (with$7 shipping) and also separately via the Dyson NZ website
As appliances go I'd give the V8 a solid 10/10. Use it everyday.
