Verdict

The Dyson V8 Absolute (model 214744-01) is a lightweight 2.61kg cordless stick vacuum featuring a digital motor spinning at 110,000rpm to deliver 115 air watts of max suction power. It features a 0.54-litre bin with a hygienic dirt ejector, whole-machine HEPA filtration, and dual suction modes powered by a six-cell battery that provides up to 40 minutes of fade-free runtime. Key advantages include its versatile 2-in-1 conversion into a handheld, specialized Motorbar and Fluffy cleaner heads that automatically de-tangle pet hair, and strong performance on both carpets and hard floors. However, it takes a lengthy 5 hours to fully charge, its runtime drops significantly to around 7 minutes on Max power mode, and the trigger must be held down continuously during use.

Dyson V8 Absolute review: finally a cordless alternative to an upright

The Guardian's 2016 review concludes that the Dyson V8 Absolute is a powerful, viable alternative to corded vacuums, offering improved 40-minute battery life in normal mode, excellent suction, and a superior hygienic bin-emptying mechanism. While the "fluffy" hard floor cleaner head is a standout, notable disadvantages include the high £519 launch price, only seven minutes of battery life in MAX mode, and potential hand fatigue from the 2.6kg weight.

Dyson V8 Absolute+ Vacuum Cleaner - MammacheTest

According to community reviews on MammacheTest, the Dyson V8 Absolute+ earns a 9.3/10 rating, noted for its 2.63 kg lightweight design, advanced 2 Tier Radial™ filtration, and versatile Direct Drive and soft roller "Fluffy" heads. The vacuum features a one-click transformation into a handheld unit and offers strong, effective cleaning across multiple floor types. However, drawbacks include a high price point, a small 0.54-litre bin requiring frequent emptying, a 5-hour charge time, and a 40-minute maximum runtime that drops significantly on high power.
