Dyson V8 Motorhead Cordless Vaccum Cleaner

Product Information

You get a transparent 0.54L dustbin that makes up the bulk of the handheld unit, with 15 small cyclone cones arranged in a two-tier flower shape in front of it. It weighs 3.5lbs/1.6kg with no attachments, and at its heaviest, it weighs 5.6lbs/2.6kg (with the wand and main cleaning head attached). For a household vac, that’s pretty lightweight, but it’s a little on the heavier side when considering comparable handheld vacs for car cleaning. All the Dyson V8 variants come with a direct-drive cleaning head making them ideal for vacuuming carpets and embedded dirt. It pushes the stiff nylon bristles into the carpet pile, flushing out the hidden dirt, and dust particles. 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 Animal and V7 do not feature a HEPA filter, though the Motorhead is a good option for stair cleaning. Compared to the Animal and Fluffy, the Motorhead is less powerful. But both models have a mini motorized tool for stairs. The Animal has a lightweight design, while the Motorhead is best suited for cleaning rooms and stairs. These two vacuum cleaners are best used with a dust-free environment.

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. The Absolute version can clean hard floors and carpet as it has the Fluffy and Direct Drive attachments. Nonetheless, to prevent downtime, I would suggest purchasing at least an extra set of filters, so you have something to utilize while the filter is drying up. The V8 will run for as much as 41 minutes with the crevice tool. And up to 33 minutes using the Direct Drive attachment. Of course, there are tradeoffs to take into consideration. First is the run time. Since the V7 has a smaller capacity battery, it won’t run as long as the V8.Better Ergonomically: Being more slightly compact makes the V7 better when it comes to ergonomics. The steering is more responsive on carpets where the smaller brush has less drag.

There’s also the option of getting the V7 Fluffy for people who live in homes with hard surfaces and don’t want to spend more for the higher-end V8 We noticed that at first, you have to grip the handle trigger too hard, and this hurts a little, but upon a bit of relaxation, you can reduce the stress. There’s also an easy to use switch for selecting the power mode – either high or low. 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

However, the V7 had better results with surface cleaning on carpets. It’s one of the most surprising findings from the experiments I did. Inside smaller homes with lots of carpets, the V7 is ideal. It won’t clean embedded stuff as well as the V8, but it’s less straining on the arm. Maintenance comparison I did comprehensive tests for the Dyson V7 and V8 on five, seven, nine, eleven, and twelve-inch hair strands.

Are the Dyson V7 and V8 attachments interchangeable?

All V7 options have the same motor and battery. The difference would be the tools and a post-motor HEPA filter. Using soft fibers and carbon bristles on a rotating bar, the Soft Roller is designed to glide directly over floors, and this means that if you have larger debris (like kitchen spills) that need cleaning up, they’re not scattered willy nilly. And, depending on which V8 model you opt for, you also get a low-reach adaptor that you can fit onto the end of the telescopic tube to get under couches and low tables (as pictured in the image above). Of all the Dyson cordless vacuums, these two are the best utilized as handhelds due to their smaller stature. The V8 Absolute has more tools out of the box, with a total of 8 if you include the two nozzles. It has a mini turbo brush and the soft dusting brush, absent in the V7. The handle is broad and comfortable, even for people with small hands, and the power button – which resembles a trigger – is ergonomically placed just where your forefinger should be.

Most tools in the Dyson cord-free product line are interchangeable except for the V6 and the Outsize. Run time comparison of Dyson V7 vs. V8 In contrast, the V7 can only last for 32 minutes with the crevice tool and 27 minutes with the cleaning head. The V7 Motorhead is a viable option inside smaller homes with lots of carpets where run time won’t be a factor. On paper, the Dyson V8 seems to be a better product than the V7. It has more suction, a larger battery, and more tools.For example, homes with hard floors will benefit from the V7 Fluffy since the Soft Roller attachment works best on this type of surface. 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. 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. One surprise from the testswas the V7 MotorHead outdoing the V8 Absolute, at least with surface debris. From all the V8 vacuums, only the Dyson V8 Animal+ has a different bin capacity. This one is smaller at 0.4 L, but then, the hygienic bin emptying system is standard across all the models.
