About This Vacuum
Meet the Dyson V8 Animal+ Cord-Free Vacuum—a pet-focused powerhouse engineered for homes where fur, dander, and deep-down dirt demand serious attention. The V8's digital motor drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpet fibers through its Direct Drive cleaner head, while whole-machine HEPA filtration captures allergens and microscopic particles that trigger sensitivities. At 5.72 lb, it maneuvers easily from room to room, and the instant-release trigger conserves battery by running only when you squeeze—no power wasted between cleaning spots. This model delivers up to 40 minutes of runtime with non-motorized tools, dropping to 8 minutes in MAX mode for those stubborn, ground-in messes. The comprehensive tool kit includes a Mini Motorhead for upholstery and pet beds, Combo Tool for versatile surface switching, Crevice Tool for baseboards and tight gaps, Soft Dusting Brush for delicate surfaces, and an Up Top Adapter for high shelves and ceiling fans. The hygienic bin empties with a single action, keeping pet hair and debris contained. The V8 Animal+ excels in multi-pet households, homes with mixed flooring, and spaces where allergen control matters. It tackles everything from daily fur tumbleweeds to weekly deep-cleans on area rugs and stairs. Like all cordless models, runtime varies by mode and surface—expect longer sessions on hard floors with basic tools, shorter bursts when using motorized heads on thick carpets. The 4-hour initial charge requirement means planning ahead for first use.
