Dyson V8 Motorhead Cordless Vaccum Cleaner

Product Information

The V8 Absolute’s soft roller brush was excellent, between five and nine inches, but there’s noticeable hair wrap on longer eleven and twelve-inch strands. 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. Dyson v8 motorhead 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. 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 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. On paper, the Dyson V8 seems to be a better product than the V7. It has more suction, a larger battery, and more tools. 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. 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.It has a smaller battery than the V8, so it doesn’t run as long. However, cleaning performance isn’t far off, especially on carpet. Mini soft dusting brush– This specialty brush has soft bristles that makes it ideal for cleaning the soft surfaces like car interior, leather sofas, lampshades, e.t.c.

However, that won’t be the case if you’re getting the V7 Absolute or the Fluffy with the Soft Roller tool. Better at resisting tangles: The chunkier brush in the Direct Drive head resists tangles better than the thinner brush of the MotorHead. In contrast, the V7 can only last for 32 minutes with the crevice tool and 27 minutes with the cleaning head. However, the gap widens in the max setting – as much as 8.77% difference at the wand in favor of the V8. Strangely, the V7 has 2% more airflow at the cleaning nozzle. For the record, there are times you may experience high noise levels, and this is a clear sign that something is amiss. We noticed increased sound levels when the brushroll is jammed, as the vacuum tries to compensate for the inefficiency. Cleaning head

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.

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. 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. Surprisingly, the Dyson V7 recorded higher decibel levels in both the low and high settings. Ergonomics comparison 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.Between the two, the V7 is the more nimble option. The smaller battery frees up the excess weight and gives it a lighter steering feel, particularly carpets. 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 difference in power and battery life isn’t significant, though. The V7 can operate for about 30 minutes before it needs to be recharged, and the V8 has a 40-minute run time when fully charged. Both machines are powered by a two-year battery. The V10 can operate for up to 60 minutes at a time, depending on which suction mode you use. The battery life of each model will vary depending on its attachments and cleaning mode. Combination tool– The combo tool combines a brushing attachment and mini-upholstery, too, for cleaning the delicate surfaces.

This model comes with the least accessories – direct-drive cleaner head, combination tool, and the crevice tool. 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? 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. Every single Dyson product has a design aesthetic that’s very appealing, and the same philosophy applies to the V8 as well.

However, the V8’s capacity is slightly larger at 0.54 liters versus the 0.53 liters of the V7. Filter comparison While there are many differences between the two models, both offer similar functions. If you have bare floors, the Animal is the clear winner. It has the highest suction power, a large bin, and extra tools to clean crevices. The animal is better suited to carpeted floors. The motorhead is better for harder surfaces, but it is more expensive. The animal is a great option for pets and those with bare floors. Of all the Dyson cordless vacuums, these two are the best utilized as handhelds due to their smaller stature. 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
