Verdict

The Akitas V8 is a 3-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by a 150W digital motor and a 22.2V lithium-ion battery, delivering a maximum suction power of 15Kpa with a 0.5L dustbin capacity. Main characteristics include a lightweight 2.4kg frame, a washable HEPA filter with True Cyclonic Filtration, an integrated LED headlight on its motorized turbo brush head, and dual power options (Eco Mode and Max Mode). Its primary advantages are its highly maneuverable, lightweight design, a generous runtime of up to 40 minutes in Eco mode, an affordable budget-friendly price point, and the versatility to easily convert into a handheld unit. However, notable drawbacks include a significantly reduced battery life of around 23 to 30 minutes when used continuously on Max mode, a lengthy charging time of 4 to 5 hours, and mixed reviews regarding its suction effectiveness on thicker carpets.
