get a battery adapter and use power tool batteries.. works great for us
wait, this is a thing?
Thanks for the heads up , V8 is due for another battery replacement but ive got a drawer full of 18v ryobi batteries. New battery and short runtime (on high) solved all in one.
Watch out on high, my 7 cuts out due to heat and won’t let you use high for a good while.
We must have very different Dyson V8s - 10 minutes? Maybe on "max", but… I need that so rarely, maybe only on very thick, very soiled carpet.
The V8 is what changed my mind about stick vacs, and I've had this one 5 years. Dyson sent me a replacement battery pack when I told them mine was unable to hold voltage earlier this year.
I’ve had mine for 5 years as well with no issue. Use it everyday and still sucks up all my cats hair.
Definitely a different experience with a v7. I have floorboards and do most of a 4x2 house on low with a single charge and it picks up pretty much everything. The only exception being "chunks" of stuff, but the trade off having something super easy to use is definitely worth it.
Stick vacuums are a bit worse on carpet however - need high power for it to be effective enough, and then the battery life is pretty awful. Would use a corded vacuum in a mostly carpet house.
Feels. I own two of the c&#@$ and every time i use them i die a little. I had to replace the battery on one, because it's smart enough to know when the battery life is at 70% - so just disable it to force replacement.
2 weeks later the other one decided the battery has expired. Absolute garbage. Sure, it works, but the cheap black and decker one at work works even better and it was like $99.
Dyson is more fashionable than practical.
ordered thanks OP, not the cheapest but my last one broke just yesterday.
I remember struggling to get v7 down to $300 a year or so back so this is a good deal.
Is this much different to the V8 Absolute?
It Absolutely is
Which is better?
buy 10 now ask questions later.
Absolute has an extra floor head (fluffy for hard floors) and HEPA filter. https://www.dyson.com.au/products/vacuum-cleaners/stick-vacu…
My old V6 needs a replacement, is this V8 worth the upgrade or should I wait for something better?
Same boat, but can’t see myself paying more than $300 for a v8 as the v10 has been down to $500.. Black Friday is coming up so might get lucky
You might just need a new battery. BTW their old models had batteries that came out by pressing a button so you could be charging one while using the other. I suspect they stopped that to sell more units.
Battery is still decent just that the head is worn out and other things like connections seem to need a good push etc
Filter needs replacement too
We have 2 x V6 and bought a V8 recently and they are so much better.
I’m sure the even later ones are that much better still but the V8 at thi price is excellent value.

How did you make it to $341?
Is this any good with a misso that has a lot long hair falling on the floor all the time?
I am unlucky enough to have a Dyson V8 - and unfortunately only now do I know that Dyson stick vacuums are a ripoff at anything more than about $300, which is what they're reasonably worth. Unless maybe all you need to vacuum is some flour off a tabletop or some similar easy and very brief task, because like all stick vacuums they are piss weak and run for about 10 mins.
