Gets everywhere that dirt does
Lightweight and versatile. So it's easy to clean up high, down low and everywhere in between.
Always to hand
The wall-mounted charging dock recharges your Dyson V8™ vacuum. So it’s ready whenever you need it, and easy to store as soon as you've finished.
Drives dirt from carpets
The direct-drive cleaner head’s motor pushes stiff nylon bristles into carpets to capture deep-down dirt.
The Dyson digital motor V8
Digital pulses switch the polarity of neodymium magnets, to spin the patented Dyson digital motor V8 at up to 110,000 rpm – five times faster than a Formula One car engine. Producing up to 115 Air Watts, it generates powerful suction on carpets and hard floors.
Patented 2 Tier Radical™ cyclones
15 small cyclones each generate powerful g-forces to fling dust into the bin. The post-motor filter is 1.5m of ePTFE porous membrane sandwiched between layers of PE/PET, folded 158 times to fit in a compact space. It’s optimised to provide filtration with minimal pressure consumption, for more suction. So it captures microscopic dirt particles as small as 0.3 microns – almost 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Redesigned battery chemistry
The six-cell lithium-ion battery has been engineered with nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) chemistry. The NCA cathode offers high power capability, with the ability to store a high charge per unit volume and to discharge this energy quickly. Which gives the Dyson V8™ vacuum up to 40 minutes of fade-free power1 – double the run time of its predecessor.
