Dyson V8 Motorhead Cordless Vaccum Cleaner

Product Information

The V7 Motorhead is a viable option inside smaller homes with lots of carpets where run time won’t be a factor. 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. Combination tool– The combo tool combines a brushing attachment and mini-upholstery, too, for cleaning the delicate surfaces. Soft roller cleaner head– This is a brush bar with soft woven nylon bristles and anti-static carbon fiber filaments. As the name suggests, this is a tool that has been specially designed to clean the hard surfaces, for example, tile floors, hardwood, linoleum, e.t.c.

I did a fog test with both vacuums, and the V8 didn’t leak smoke. In contrast, the V7 spewed smoke at the exhaust – a clear sign that allergens would seep through. Noise comparison 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 Crevice tool– This is a tool that comes in handy when cleaning the tight spaces between sofas, between car seats and other hard to reach areas. Filtration– Even though the dust cup capacity varies from one model to the other, the filtration system is the same across all boards.We will also be shedding light on two models you will find online – the Dyson Animal+ and Dyson V8 Total Clean. 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.

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.

Another difference is the battery status. The V8 has three LED indicators informing users when the battery is at the 33% level mark. As usual, we test all the vacuums we review, and the Dyson V8 was no exception. We tested only the models available in the US, and these are the Dyson V8 Animal, Animal, and Absolute. 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 Dyson V8 Absolute has two filters – one pre-motor filter in the middle of the cyclones plus a HEPA filter behind the motor. Let’s explore how the V7 and V8 are similar and different. Are these worthy alternatives to the more expensive variants like the V10 Absolute, V11 Torque Drive, and Outsize? You’re probably wondering: “What’s the difference between a Dyson VS. an animal?” The Dyson V8 motorhead can handle medium and low-pile carpets, but it won’t get the job done quite as well on low-pile carpets. Those photos don’t show the plowing effect of the motorhead’s direct drive. And while the motorhead will clean a lot of coffee grounds, which are fine, the V8 didn’t do so well on medium and low-pile carpets.

Tools out of the box 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 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. Above that, there's a HEPA filter encased in blue/purple plastic, with air vents on the sides. Below the filter and air vents is the toggle switch to change suction power – there are just standard and max settings to choose from on the V8.

Every single Dyson product has a design aesthetic that’s very appealing, and the same philosophy applies to the V8 as well. The Dyson V8 Animal+ delivers a maximum of 100WA compared to the 115AW delivered by the other models. However, the V8’s capacity is slightly larger at 0.54 liters versus the 0.53 liters of the V7.

Interface comparison

The Dyson V8 offers several advantages over the V7. First, it runs longer thanks to the larger capacity Li-ion battery. Third, the Fluffy attachment enables it to clean hard floors better than the MotorHead tool of the V7. When it comes to recharging, it takes around 5 hours for the battery to recharge fully. This is quite a long time, and unfortunately, you can’t have a spare battery, as Shark did with the Shark IONFlex 2X. The vacuum has three charging lights, which indicate a low charge level, medium charge, and full charge. Usability One surprise from the testswas the V7 MotorHead outdoing the V8 Absolute, at least with surface debris. As mentioned before, the V8 comes with a bunch of accessories, including a telescopic tube that’s perfect for general use. Every tool clips easily on and off the main handheld unit, even with one hand. The standard direct-drive head is great on pretty much any surface, but if you happen to buy the V8 Absolute, you’ll get a Soft Roller cleaning head that’s the best option for hard floors.
