Dyson V8 Motorhead Cordless Vaccum Cleaner

Product Information

The V8 Animal is more efficient on low-pile carpets, and is less efficient on high-pile carpets. Unlike the V8 Absolute, the Animal features more accessories and power. You can buy extra accessories for the motorhead to collect pet hair and keep the brush from getting tangled. In addition, the V8 Animal’s bag-less dust bin is a standard size and will hold half a liter of trash at a time. You can also empty the trash bin without contaminating it with dust. That isn’t true even if the V7 and V8 don’t have a clip-on battery; replacing the battery is doable using a Philips screwdriver. Now, we are almost coming to the end of this Dyson V8 Animal vs. Animal+ vs. Absolute vs. Motorhead face to face comparison review. The results in the airflow test are consistent with the cleaning experiments as the V7 does surprisingly better on carpets, which we’ll go into next. How do the Dyson V7 and V8 clean?

The Dyson V8 Animal+ delivers a maximum of 100WA compared to the 115AW delivered by the other models. The V8 Absolute comes with the Fluffy and Direct Drive tools that work exceptionally well on hard floors and carpets, respectively. From a noise perspective though, it’s among the noisier cordless home vacuums we have tested, at 80dB on max setting and 75dB on standard. However, it does depend on what market you’re comparing it in, as those levels actually make it one of the quieter handheld car vacs. Overall, it’s unlikely to annoy you - particularly on the standard setting. There’s up to 40 minutes of fade-free power available with the V8 on a single charge, and that holds true even when using the motorized cleaning tools (like the direct-drive and soft roller heads) — which is not something we were expecting.Mini motorized tool– This is a compact version of the direct-drive cleaning head and comes in handy when agitating the embedded dirt on fragile surfaces, for example, the car interior, upholstery, and fixtures among others. From the above, you can tell that the Dyson V8 Absolute is the best choice as it has the most accessories, and is available in the US. Please note that you can buy any other tool or accessory separately. Make sure what you are buying is compatible with the Dyson V8. The SV10 is more powerful than the V8, but is not as compact. It features two tier radial cyclones that push air through fifteen small conical chutes. The air created by this combination of air produces centrifugal force that helps the motor to clean up smaller particles. Its motor rotates at an impressive 110,000 rpm. The V8 motorhead is available in yellow and iron, and the hand-held model is designed to be sleek and attractive. Dyson v8 absolute The Dyson V8 Absolute is the best choice as it is equipped with cleaning heads for both hard floors, as well as carpets.

This model comes with the least accessories – direct-drive cleaner head, combination tool, and the crevice tool. The Dyson V8 was once Dyson’s flagship option, chosen as the “best” cordless vacuum in numerous publications. This Dyson cordless was the first to have a hygienic system and was a considerable upgrade over the V6’s trap door design.Better on hard floors: The Fluffy attachment of the V8 Absolute is superior to the V7’s MotorHead brush. It’s more efficient and isn’t as prone to scratching the surface. The Dyson V8 offers several advantages over the V7. First, it runs longer thanks to the larger capacity Li-ion battery. From the table, you’ll notice that the V7’s hard floor performance is in the low 90s. It’s skewed by the low score with the Quaker oats test. Aside from that, it did well in other trials.

The difference is only minimal in the default setting. You’ll notice in the chart that the V7 has almost as much airflow at the wand and nozzle. Yes, the tools of the V7 fit with the V8 and the other way around. If you can’t find a specific device from the V7 selection, then a V8 tool will be compatible with it. The Dyson V8 Animal is a cordless vacuum cleaner with both hard floors and carpets. Its motor, suction, and dust bin are identical. However, the Animal motorhead does not have the fluffy head of the Absolute. Instead, it has a regular head, which works just as well. The two models are similar except for the price difference and the accessories. The Animal version is a little more powerful than the Absolute, with 40 minutes of run time when charged. The Animal model also has an up top adaptor and a tool bag.The V8 Absolute is the better all-around option suited for bigger homes with a mix of hard floors and carpets. However, the V7 had better results with surface cleaning on carpets. It’s one of the most surprising findings from the experiments I did. Another difference is the battery status. The V8 has three LED indicators informing users when the battery is at the 33% level mark. The colors mentioned above are highlighted on the wand, cleaning head, and also the main unit. Accessories, Tools and Attachments Of all the Dyson cordless vacuums, these two are the best utilized as handhelds due to their smaller stature.

However, the V8’s soft roller attachment is superior to the MotorHead as it’s more efficient, sweeping up most of the debris in the initial pass. Which is better on hard floors? More airflow: One of the surprises is the V7 having more airflow than the V8, at least in the max setting using the primary cleaning nozzle. We were also interested in the operation noise of the vacuum, and we are glad there’s an improvement compared to the Dyson V7. The Animal is more efficient at cleaning low-pile carpets, but performs poorly on higher pile carpets. The Animal has a larger garbage bin, which holds 0.55 liters of dirt. It also features a better ergonomic design and wider cleaning path. The V7 Motorhead has a direct drive cleaner head that can turn a fair bit. It can get under furniture and other hard-to-reach places. It did noticeably better with nothing wrapping after the nine-inch test, but the limit is eleven and twelve-inch hair. Tools out of the boxIf you’re only comparing the V8 Absolute and V7 MotorHead, the nod goes to the V8 since it has the Fluffy attachment. With non-powered tools, the Dyson V8 runs for 42 minutes in low power, and 7 minutes when in high-power mode. When it comes to the powered cleaner head, the runtime was much shorter, with 26.5 minutes in low power mode and 7 minutes in max power. The Dyson V8 Animal, Animal+, Absolute, and Motorhead all bear the same features here except for the slight difference in the dimensions and weight. The handling is superb courtesy of the ergonomic and comfortable handle, as well as the equal weight distribution. It has been perfectly balanced using Archimedes’ principle to make it easy for homeowners to clean the high up places, and the floor without much strain. Maintenance
