How easy is it to use the Dyson V8? In this section, we are going to discuss aspects like the controls, maneuvering, ergonomics, handling, and maintenance. Controls One surprise from the testswas the V7 MotorHead outdoing the V8 Absolute, at least with surface debris. All V7 options have the same motor and battery. The difference would be the tools and a post-motor HEPA filter.

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 comparisonThe 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.

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. 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. 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. Filtration– Even though the dust cup capacity varies from one model to the other, the filtration system is the same across all boards. 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.

Availability of Parts

The Dyson V8 Animal, Motorhead, Absolute and Total Clean all come with a Dyson digital motor that spins at an impressive 107,000rpm. 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. 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.

The first difference when it comes to design is the size. As you’ll see in the photo above, the V8 is slightly bigger. I’m not sure if it’s a fluke, but just sharing the results of the experiments. 5 Reasons to choose the Dyson V8 Absolute On paper, the Dyson V8 seems to be a better product than the V7. It has more suction, a larger battery, and more tools. Suction power– The motor is also the same for the Animal, Absolute, and Motorhead, but the Animal+ has a less powerful motor, and hence lesser suction. 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.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.
