The "Dual Cyclone" step-by-step:
- Dirty air is drawn in by a fan.
- This air goes into the top corner of a drum or vacuum bin, and the angle it enters the bin causes it to spiral around, creating centrifugal force. This force causes the larger dust particles to spin out of the air stream and fall to the bottom of the bin.
-
The air then flows through a filter, which catches more dust particles.
- The air continues through a conical cylinder, housed in the bin, and the angle the air enters from and the sloping walls of the cylinder combine to cause the air, containing the smallest dust particles, to spin down to the bottom of the cone at an increasing speed.
- Centrifugal force acting on the air stream increases, forcing the dust particles against the sides of the cone and through the hole in the bottom of the cone, while the air escapes up the centre.
How Does It Trap Dust?
- Dyson's Dual Cyclone features double chamber cleaning technology, which optimises your vacuum's suction and prevents dust from being blown back into the room.
- When dirt enters the Dual Cyclone tube, it's swirled around at an immense speed by the first cyclone. Gravitational forces cause large particles to sink to the bottom of the transparent dust container.
-
At the same time, hair and fluff are prevented from passing through to the second Dyson cyclone by a shroud, which is a sort of sieve, and the hair and fluff are then safely trapped in the bin.
- The smallest bits enter the second compartment at the core of the Dual Cyclone, where wind speed is at its highest and even the finest dust is forced to fall down.
- At the end of this process, the air is perfectly clean, odourless and void of any dust or allergens. In fact, it's cleaner than the regular air around your room.
Benefits of the Dual Cyclone:
- Improved suction - dirt particles are no longer clogging up an air-filtering dust bag, so suction is improved and won't decrease as you go from room to room. Proper suction ensures that no dirt is left behind.
- No bags needed - no vacuum bags are necessary with this design, which means that you don't have to dirty your hands replacing a filthy sack of dust. It also reduces the hidden costs of operating your vacuum.
The only parts of a Dyson vacuum cleaner that need occasional replacement are:
-
The pre-motor filter, which prevents any dust from getting into the motor.
- The anti-allergenic HEPA filter, which takes care of extremely fine particulates, and should be changed every 12 months.
Dyson technology is cleaner, cheaper to operate and more energy- and time-efficient than bagged vacuum models.

How does a Dyson vacuum cleaner work ?
Throughout its 100-year history, the vacuum cleaner has become an indispensable household appliance for most people, and it's clear why. Just imagine picking all the sawdust off the carpet by hand!
Have you ever wondered how Dyson vacuums work? Is there anything that distinguishes its way of operation from other vacuum cleaners of other brands?
Don't worry; in this article we have answers to these two questions!
People all over the world turn to Dyson vacuums to clean hard wood, carpets or stairs, these are among the best vacuums, as they work powerfully and efficiently, from cleaning small dirt particles to pet hair.
How does a Dyson vacuum cleaner work?
Prior to the development of Dyson, all vacuum cleaners were available with bags. The problem is that as the bags get full, the vacuum loses its suction power, but Dyson doesn't have bags, so it never loses its suction power.
Instead, the Dyson vacuum cleaner uses centrifugal force to generate suction. The state-of-the-art Robot Cyclone technology in the Dyson vacuum cleaner circulates air at a high speed, resulting in powerful suction.
Dirt is collected in the clear plastic basket container; so the suction power remains even if the container is full.

Super suction power
Dyson vacuum cleaners use their characterizing cyclone technology which enables air to circulate at high speeds inside the vacuum cleaner.
To remove dust, allergens and other particles, the Dyson collects all dirt through a filtration system. Larger particles are captured and separated, providing permanent suction while reducing the chance of clogging.
Ball technology is designed for ease of movement
One feature that sets Dyson apart from other vacuum cleaner brands is its unique ball technology. The ball rotates easily in every direction, which means less user fatigue.
Dyson vacuums use HEPA filters
HEPA filters are designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles that effectively cleaning the air of tiny dust and allergens, and these filters can last a lifetime.
Innovative dust ejector
The Dyson Dust Ejector is a one-of-a-kind function with a silicone collar that slides down into the dustbin. The ejector pushes collected dirt and debris as it moves, meaning you don't need to get your hand in the dust to empty it.
Various designs
Dyson's line of vacuum cleaners suits the needs of many homeowners and some commercial establishments. There are compact and lightweight stick designs that are easy to store, vacuum cleaners with a larger capacity, and cordless hand vacuums for hard-to-reach places.
Made to last
Dyson vacuums are made from the same material as crash helmets, making them a flexible and durable machine to handle heavy daily use.
On top of that, the quality of the Dyson vacuum cleaner means there's no need to repair or replace the machine compared to other brands.
Better investment
Dyson vacuum cleaners are more expensive compared to other brands because of the features they offer. On the other hand, this is a good investment; because you are getting rid of the constant change of the vacuum cleaner that usually occurs in lower quality brands. This can save you money in the long run.
The Dyson brand has always been highly trusted, as many happy customers assured that. This is one of the reasons why it is one of the best and most in-demand vacuum cleaners today.
Finally, this vacuum cleaner was built from the start to be innovative and new, and to tackle the age-old problem of suction loss.
Dyson remains a highly competitive company, constantly bringing out the latest models and renewing old ones, so its vacuums are among the best.
laser, display and automatic power control
After a significant number of upright vacuum cleaners that we tested, it was already thought that it would not be possible to surprise us any more. But in life there is always room for something new. And it didn't pass us by. We present you the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute, which not only advises the owner on how to fix himself, but also shows off how much and how much dust he removed.
During testing, we will understand and tell you why there is a laser in the floor nozzle, why no threads are wound on the upholstery brush, and how automatic power control works and what its advantages are. nine0003

Contents
The white cardboard box in which this vacuum cleaner arrived contains very little information: only photos of the device from different angles, one on each side, and the model name on the front and back sides.
In line with current environmental trends, there is not a gram of packaging plastic or polyethylene here: all components and accessories of the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute are wrapped in paper or lie in complexly shaped cardboard boxes. nine0003
Inside the box we found:
- vacuum cleaner motor unit with dustbin
- removable battery
- electric brush head for carpets
- brush head for hard floors
- furniture and clothes nozzle with electric cone brush
- extension tube
- corner adapter
- slot nozzle
- 2 in 1 brush head
- wide brush nine0128 long brush
- nozzle holder to fit on extension tube
- disassembled wall base with a set of hardware for mounting
- power adapter
- Safety Instructions for Handling
The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute comes with an extensive package: three electric brushes, four non-motorized nozzles and a fair amount of additional accessories for all occasions.
At first glance
The body of the vacuum cleaner is made of silver-steel plastic. The middle of the cylindrical motor block is decorated with a golden belt of complex shape. The plastic cover of the fine filter, located at the back of the unit, is purple and transparent. Moving parts - control button, latches and seals - are bright scarlet. It is difficult to call the design of the device strict, but the color scheme definitely catches the eye, is remembered for a long time and does not merge with the situation.
The layout of the motor block is longitudinal: in the front there is a garbage collector with a cyclone filter, in the middle there is an engine housing, and in the back there is a fine filter unit. At the end of the device there is a round LCD display with a power control button. nine0003
A pistol grip extends from the motor unit with a trigger that turns on the vacuum cleaner. It has a removable battery attached to it.
In the front end there is a nozzle for connecting an extension tube, nozzles or electric brushes.
To power the latter, the connector is equipped with a two-pin socket.
The body of the waste bin has an original emptying mechanism: to shake out the coarse debris discarded by the cyclone filter, you need to move the transparent cover forward with the red lever at the bottom of the container. The front end cover is then automatically folded up. Dust that may accumulate on the pre-filter screen is cleaned off by the sealing ring on the rear end of the container and does not wake up when opened. nine0003
The bin can be completely removed from the cyclone for maintenance and cleaning: it is held in place by another latch at the bottom.
The steel mesh pre-filter, designed to filter fine debris, has very frequent perforations so that only the finest dust can pass through.
The air flow with the remaining contaminants passes through the motor of the vacuum cleaner and enters the fine filter of two elements: preliminary, made of non-woven material, and the main, with an accordion HEPA filter.
The manufacturer reports that the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute filtration system is capable of delaying 99.99% microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns.
The battery is held on the handle of the device with another latch (like almost all vacuum cleaner controls, it is scarlet). According to the information on the battery, the power supply consists of seven lithium-ion cells with a total capacity of 3600 mAh.
On the back of the battery there is a connector for an adapter. The power supply unit can be connected directly to the vacuum cleaner, but perhaps it will be more convenient to fix its plug in the supplied wall base: for this, a special groove is made in its body. You can also connect power directly to the battery removed from the device. nine0003
The base of the vacuum cleaner is supplied unassembled - for wall mounting it must be assembled from two parts. The base case is designed to store two nozzles.
The charger is made of the same silver gray plastic as the body of the vacuum cleaner.
According to the information on the charger, the adapter delivers 30VDC, 1.1A.
The electric carpet nozzle is equipped with a cylindrical rotor with two spiral elements - the bristles are black and scarlet. They make one turn around the cylinder and are protected on both sides by blue lamellae. The top cover of the nozzle is transparent: the rotation of the contrasting colored brushes is easy to control through it
There is a switch on the front of the nozzle that adjusts the pressure of the nozzle on the carpet: it controls the retractable stops that extend from the bottom panel in front of the brush.
All electric nozzles are equipped with a swivel mechanism that allows them to rotate 90° forward and backward and 180° right and left.
The brush rotor is removed from the end: to do this, turn the round cap on the left side of the nozzle.
Hard floor nozzle roller covered in velor in two colours. A strip of soft bristles is attached to it between sections of the fabric, which increases the efficiency of sweeping.
Due to the small diameter of the rotor, the nozzle has a very small height - only 50 mm. This allows you to remove debris even under low furniture. nine0003
The backlight unit is mounted on the right end, one of the highlights of the model: the device is equipped with a green laser, due to which (and a specially oriented lens) the removed debris should become more noticeable than with traditional LEDs. We will certainly test this device in action and talk about it a little lower.
The nozzle rests on four rollers - two at the back and two at the ends. Convex velor elements on the sides and back of the rotor also contribute to easy sliding. To remove the roller, turn the end cap and pull the rotor sideways. nine0003
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with another nozzle of a very interesting design: unlike the cylindrical brushes we are used to, the working element of this accessory is a conical Archimedean screw with a spiral brush row.
This design prevents long hair, pet hair and threads from winding around the rotor: the thread that gets on the electric brush does not wrap around it, but flies off the thin side of the working element, falling into the air path of the vacuum cleaner, and from there into the dustbin.
nine0003
The lower part of the nozzle is equipped with a velor element that makes it easier to glide over the fabric.
For cleaning and maintenance, the accessory can be disassembled into two parts: to do this, it is enough to release the scarlet latch on the transparent casing.
TheDyson V15 Detect Absolute is also equipped with four non-motorized nozzles: two brushes - transverse and longitudinal, a crevice brush nozzle and a long narrow crevice nozzle. The design of these accessories is simple and familiar, we did not note any unique features in their design. nine0003
Inside the 69 cm long extension tube there is a wire that feeds the electric nozzles, and at both ends there are plugs for connecting them.
The user can attach a holder to the handset to keep one or two non-motorized handpieces close at hand.
The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute also includes a swivel adapter that allows the air path to be bent up to 90°. The rotary element of the adapter is fixed with a yellow latch.
nine0003
Unlike most similar swivel adapters from other manufacturers, this accessory has electrical plugs located at the ends of the tube and is compatible with electric nozzles.
Manual
The vacuum cleaner comes with a 44-page A4 user manual in eighteen European languages. The Russian-language part of the document is two and a half pages long and contains only mandatory information about compliance with regulatory requirements and safety when handling the device. The same document is available for download from the official product page. To our surprise, we did not find a user manual in the usual sense. nine0003
The vacuum cleaner and a brief introduction to its maintenance and use of the main attachments can be found in the quick start guide, which is a small illustrated booklet.
The absence of the usual operating instructions does not interfere at all, however, with the acquaintance with the device - its use is intuitive and does not cause any difficulties.
Control
The instrument is activated by the red “trigger” on the pistol grip. Unlike most similar models, the power button on the Dyson V15 is not fixed. nine0003
The power modes of the vacuum cleaner (there are three in total) are switched by pressing the silver button at the end of the device. It is placed far from the handle and it is impossible to press it with the thumb of the hand that holds the vacuum cleaner: the user needs a second hand to switch the power. The device controls are convenient for both left-handers and right-handers.
Above the power button is a round LCD color display. We will talk about it below.
Operation
The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute surprised us right from the start: it was the first handheld vacuum cleaner to offer a choice of language before use. You can select the language settings on the LCD touch screen when you turn it on for the first time. After selecting the Russian language, the device offered to fully charge the battery to continue working, which we did.
nine0003
The first charge took just over two hours: to extend battery life, the device is shipped half charged.
Having started working with the vacuum cleaner, we encountered another unusual feature of this model: the “trigger” that turns on the device does not lock in the pressed position. This decision distinguishes the V15 from the vast majority of analogues, but, perhaps, it is logical - there is no need for a cordless vacuum cleaner to idle. The power button has a soft stroke, keeping it pressed is not difficult. nine0003
As noted above, the Dyson V15 has three modes of operation: economical (with reduced power), powerful and automatic. The last option interested us the most.
In the automatic power selection mode, the device independently determines the degree of pollution: a special sensor at the inlet to the container determines the amount of dust and, if necessary, turns on increased speed. When using this function, there is no need to adjust the power manually, by eye, the vacuum cleaner decides when it should push.
nine0003
When we first got acquainted with the device, we were somewhat skeptical about the automatic mode, but after some time we found that we use only it. Indeed, the Dyson V15's auto power select works efficiently and predictably, conserving battery power and revving up only when it's really needed.
Auto power select only works with motor attachments. When simple non-motorized accessories are connected to the vacuum cleaner, instead of the “Auto” mode, “Medium” becomes available, with the appropriate power. nine0003
Eco and Turbo modes with non-electrified nozzles have a higher suction power, which is logical: without rotor brushes, a stronger air flow is required for high-quality cleaning. But the battery life in this mode is much less.
The small round display of the vacuum cleaner proved to be extremely informative. In addition to the traditional signaling of the degree of battery discharge and the currently selected power level, it provides the user with many more useful information.
nine0003
During cleaning, the vacuum cleaner shows in real time the composition of the removed dust: a diagram on the display informs the user about the size of the particles that have fallen into the dustbin and their number. This function cannot be called vital, but it is perhaps useful and curious to know how much dust we have removed invisible to the eye.
In case of malfunctions, the device will not only report them, but also tell you how to eliminate them. So, for example, if the fine filter is installed incorrectly, the vacuum cleaner displays a text message, and then plays an animated picture explaining how to correctly fix the filter. nine0003
In the event of a drop in suction power, the V15 will assume that the problem is either a clog in the air path or an overflow of the bin and in a short video will tell the user how to properly clear the clog or empty the bin.
During charging, the vacuum cleaner displays an animated battery on the screen, which fills up in proportion to the replenishment of the battery.
With such a high level of interactivity, the user of the vacuum cleaner can really do without a printed manual: the appliance itself tells you how to use it. The only drawback of the display is, perhaps, too small a font: it is difficult for people with poor eyesight to read the text on the screen. nine0003
The vacuum cleaner is well balanced and, despite its rather large weight, fits comfortably in the hand and is well controlled.
The design of both electric floor nozzles does not allow vertical parking: during pauses in cleaning, the device has to be supported against walls or furniture.
One of our favorite innovations has been (quite predictably) the laser light on the hard floor nozzle.
It illuminates dust and small debris much better than the usual LED, and makes cleaning more efficient and faster: uncleaned areas are clearly visible in polarized light. nine0003
The backlight works not only in darkness and twilight: in the photo below, taken in bright sunlight, contrasting shadows from small light specks are clearly visible.
The laser light is, of course, useless when cleaning carpets and upholstered furniture - the other two electric nozzles do not have it. However, it may be necessary to illuminate hard-to-reach places, and traditional LED lighting would be useful here.
We also like the angle joint that allows the use of motorized attachments: it makes cleaning hard-to-reach areas much easier. It is especially convenient to handle furniture and vertical surfaces with it. nine0003
The design of the conical electric brush used in the furniture nozzle proved its effectiveness during practical testing: we never found any long hair or wound threads on it.
In manual configuration, the vacuum cleaner is also comfortable, and the behavior of non-motorized nozzles is simple and predictable. It is equally convenient for them to clean furniture, household items, clothes and interior elements.
When cleaning the interior of a car, the vacuum cleaner shows all the advantages of high power, effectively sucking debris out of crevices and nooks and crannies.
However, the relatively large dimensions of the case do not allow easy access with its help to the most inaccessible places in the cabin: a flexible corrugated tube would be useful here, but, unfortunately, it is not included in the configuration of the model in question. nine0003
The transparent body of the bin makes it easy to see how full it is. The design of the cyclone filter is very effective: a significant part of the debris remains in the lower part of the container, and only a small percentage of very fine dust is retained on the steel mesh.
Emptying the bin is easy. You can do this without getting your hands dirty. A special cuff that removes dust from the steel mesh when the container is moved from the cyclone works very efficiently: the dust remains in the container and does not spill onto the floor. nine0003
After several intensive cleanings, only a slight gray coating is visible on the fabric part of the fine filter: due to the very high efficiency of the pre-filters, very little reaches the last element.
The inside of the non-woven filter stays white and clean. No contamination was noticed on the harmonica of the cylindrical HEPA element, which completes the airflow purification chain.
Dyson V15 Detect Absolute has an excellent multi-stage filtration system, very effective at all stages. nine0003
Care
The laconic instructions did not provide detailed information on how to care for the vacuum cleaner. Using common sense, we assume that the body of the bin can be washed by thoroughly wiping and drying.
We wiped the cyclone filter elements with a slightly damp cloth, and dry cleaning the fine filters, according to the old habit: we know that the efficiency of HEPA elements can noticeably drop after washing. Although in this case the manufacturer himself is full of optimism about this: Dyson claims that their HEPA filter can be washed once a month, then dried for a day, and it will be “like new”. nine0003
Our measurements
We give the mass measurements of the main components of the vacuum cleaner in the table:
| Component name | Weight, g |
|---|---|
| Main unit with dust collector | 1315 |
| Battery | 730 |
| Extension tube | 260 |
| Electric hard floor brush | 425 | nine0015
| Electric carpet brush | 800 |
| Electric furniture brush | 385 |
| Angle joint | 175 |
| 2 in 1 brush head | 70 |
| Crevice Nozzle | 45 |
| Wide brush | 42 |
| Long brush | 50 |
| Weight, complete, maximum | 3105 |
| Weight, complete, minimum | 2087 |
Suction power (what it is and how we measure it is described in a separate article) we determined when the vacuum cleaner was working with an extension tube, but without attachments.
The dependence of suction power on the vacuum created is shown in the graph below:
The maximum suction power we measured in turbo mode was 166.5 watts - an excellent result for this class of vacuum cleaners. The maximum power in the medium mode is 76 watts, and in the eco mode - 57 watts. nine0003
The average time for a full charge, which we tested over several cycles, was 3 hours and 40 minutes: the vacuum cleaner charges a little faster than promised by the manufacturer. The vacuum cleaner adapter consumes an average of 30.8 watts during battery power, and less than 0.1 watts in standby mode.
The noise level emitted by the device depends on the operating mode. At maximum power in the configuration for cleaning the floor, the vacuum cleaner is noisy at 78 dBA, the minimum power reduces the level to 65 dBA.
The battery life of the Dyson V15 depends on the attachment used and the selected power setting. The collected data are presented in the form of a table.
nine0003
| Hard Floor Electric Nozzle | Without attachments | |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum power | 83:16 | 73:03 |
| Maximum power | 15:30 | 8:13 |
Since the vacuum cleaner works at higher power without the use of electric nozzles, the battery life in manual mode is noticeably higher than with an additional load in the form of an electric motor and laser illumination. nine0003
Let's summarize our measurements in one table.
| Maximum suction power | 166 AW |
|---|---|
| Operating time at maximum power (manual mode) | 8:13 |
| Run time at minimum power (motorized attachment) | up to 83 minutes |
| Noise level | up to 78 dBA |
| Weight floor configuration | 3105 g |
| Weight in manual configuration | 2087 |
Conclusions
We liked the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute for its high power and excellent efficiency.
In the course of practical tests, we were convinced that the company's products deservedly hold the leading positions among vacuum cleaner manufacturers: the original design of the device itself and the numerous accessories included in the kit ensure long and efficient operation. nine0003
One of the most striking features of the model was automatic power control: the vacuum cleaner independently selects the level you need right now, maintaining the optimal balance between efficiency and battery life.
The three included motorized brush heads are convenient and effective: the carpet brush is great for cleaning soft floors, and the conical brush is great for furniture and clothing. But most of all, we liked the hard surface nozzle, equipped with a laser illumination system that allows you to notice missed debris in both dimness and bright sunlight. nine0003
The color display will not only report the expected duration of work in the selected mode to the nearest second, but also tell you how good the current cleaning turned out to be.
In the event of an interruption in operation, the information on the display will help you quickly resolve the problem.
Perhaps the only drawback of the vacuum cleaner is its price - all devices from this manufacturer are not cheap, to put it mildly.
Pros :
- high power nine0128 convenient automatic mode
- long battery life
- informative display
- original and effective nozzle design
- laser illumination of the cleaning area
Cons :
- high price

Accessories - what is included in the Dyson V8 Absolute package?
The more accessories, the better?
We at Smart-Home-Fox believe: Not necessarily.
Many manufacturers put countless useless attachments in their cordless vacuum cleaners to stand out from the competition. Things that no one needs and that we, the customers, should keep at home.
This does not apply to Dyson V8 Absolute . Each accessory has its own rationale and its own specific application .
Dyson V8 Absolute Kit
- Combo Accessory Nozzle
- crevice tool
- Electric brush with direct drive
- Direct drive soft roller
- Mini electric brush
- Extra soft brush
- Charger
- Wall mount
Which suction attachment for what?
Standard electric brush
You can use the standard vacuum brush on both hard and soft surfaces. It has a width of 25 cm.
Soft roller
Particularly suitable for sucking up dirt from hard floors such as laminate or parquet.
nine0003
Combination Accessory Nozzle
This is a useful addition that you can use to vacuum items. Use the soft bristles on sensitive surfaces, and if you want to work a little harder, you can retract the bristles back at the push of a button.
Crevice tool
The crevice tool never goes out of style when it comes to vacuum cleaner accessories. With it, you can get into narrow gaps where no other brush can get. Ideal for vacuuming in the car or between upholstery. nine0003
Wall mount
It is very useful to store the vacuum cleaner on the wall to save space and charge it at the same time.
Mini Electric Brush
This is a real advantage if you want to vacuum pet hair off your upholstery.
Extra soft brush
Suitable for removing dust from furniture and sensitive surfaces.
Which Dyson V8 should I get?
When the V8 was released, there were many different variants: V8 "Absolute", "Motorhead", "Fluffy", etc.
, etc. nine0003
Models differ mainly in accessories.
Today you can only buy two different V8 models from the manufacturer:
- Dyson V8 Absolute and
- Dyson V8 Total Clean
What makes them different is one single nozzle.
While the Dyson V8 Absolute has a super soft brush, the Total Clean comes with a flexible hose.
So the choice between a soft brush and a flexible hose is decide which cordless vacuum cleaner you will buy. A matter of taste!

Dyson V8 Absolute cleaning test - our review
We have standardized our testing procedure to evaluate suction power.
One by one, we spread the same amount of sand, lentils and oatmeal on different floors and surfaces and then vacuum them to the highest standard.
After our cleaning test with Dyson V8 Absolute we can say that is the result of an impressive .
The test revealed its strengths and weaknesses, but the cordless vacuum cleaner was definitely ahead of its time.
Dyson V8 Absolute Hard Floor Cleaning Test
Dyson V8 absorbs sand and oatmeal well on hard floors. At first he pushes the oatmeal in front of him, however, in the end, he collects it.
But the Dyson V8 could only absorb 80% of the lentils. We chalk it up to the too narrow slot on the standard brush. This means that the vacuum cleaner will not be able to completely pick up coarse or accumulated dirt. nine0003
Tip : If you use the supplied soft brush (instead of the standard electric brush), the result looks much better.
So those who don't want to change the brush often can clean the floor with a soft brush without any problems. Thanks to her, the dirt is first pressed, and then it is quite easy to collect.

How cleaning works with Dyson V8 our review.
Powerful suction is required to achieve good cleaning results. Various factors affect how good or bad the cleaning results of a cordless vacuum cleaner are.
Standard electric brush or soft roller?
Thanks to the own drive of the standard brush roller rotates independently and transports the dirt lying around at high speed into the suction tube.
It perfectly maintains the suction power.
However, what was striking in our test was that the V8 achieves much better cleaning results when using the soft brush on hard floors and the standard brush on soft floors . The disadvantage is clear: you have to change the brush.
Dyson V8 as handheld vacuum cleaner
You can quickly and easily convert a Dyson V8 into a handheld vacuum cleaner. With the right nozzle, you can vacuum anywhere you can't reach with a regular vacuum cleaner.
In addition, you can connect each nozzle to both the power supply and the suction pipe.
Take the suction pipe plus the crevice nozzle as an example: they can be used to easily remove cobwebs from the corners of the ceiling.

Battery life - How long can I vacuum with the Dyson V8?
When Dyson V8 came out, battery life was max about 40 minutes in normal mode. With today's new devices, a few years after V8 came out, 40 minutes should be the bare minimum.
However, 40 minutes is enough to clean most homes.
In turbo mode you can vacuum for 7 minutes , however, turbo mode is not necessary if the apartment is not very dirty.
Of course, the duration also depends on the attachments used.
| Suction mode | Battery power |
| Normal | about 40 minutes |
| Turbo | approximately 7 minutes |

Maintenance of the Dyson V8 Absolute - review
In our test, we found that with the Dyson V8 you have to do four things regularly:
- Emptying and cleaning the dirt container
- Cleaning the HEPA filter
- Brush cleaning
- Battery charger
Emptying the dirt container
There is a lever on the top of the motor block. When you pull it out, the dust container opens and the dirt falls into the bin (which is underneath).
It works well and the mechanism is very stable. However, the 0.5 liter dirt container is somewhat smaller than its successors.
Emptying the dirt container
Small red lever on the bottom of the dust container allows you to completely remove the container from the motor block .
You can then keep it under running water for cleaning.
Cleaning the HEPA filter
The HEPA filter is used to clean the air from the finest dust . This is especially good for allergy sufferers . In addition, the filters work extremely long, i.e. there are no additional costs.
However, the filter should be cleaned from time to time. To do this, you can simply pull it out of the motor unit, then tap it or even wash it. nine0003
Another filter is located at the rear. You can also just unscrew it and clean it.
Caution : The filter must dry for 24 hours before it can be reinstalled.
Cleaning the brushes
Sometimes thread or hair gets wrapped around the brush. This reduces the suction power.
Therefore, it is worth cleaning the brushes from time to time. To do this, you can open the side compartment of the brush and pull out the roller.
All you need is a coin or something. With a sharp knife, you can remove hair from the roller. nine0003
Battery maintenance
If the battery has become weak or even completely lost its strength, the vacuum cleaner should not be thrown away. The battery can simply be ordered and replaced.
Here, of course, a simple click system would be desirable, as the new Dyson V11 showed in the test.
