Powerful, portable and perfectly capable of sucking EVERYTHING in its path, the Dyson V8 Absolute Cord-Free Vacuum is worth revving your engine over.
If you’re pining for a new vacuum, then allow us to introduce you to your new cleaning BFF.
Most of us are already well aware of the awesome rep that Dyson has. And with good reason. Their products are innovative, inventive and built to last. Their award-winning V8 Absolute Cord-Free Vacuum Cleaner is no exception.
We recently got a chance to test drive this cord-free Dyson and, boy oh boy, was it a pleasure to play with! I’m not one of those people who actually enjoys cleaning, but with this little device, cleaning the house was actually kind of exciting.
The cord-free cleaning experience
Let’s start with my VERY FAVOURITE feature of the V8 Absolute – the fact that it’s cordless. It comes with ultimate fade-free sucking power without the annoyance of a cord, which shaved minutes off my regular cleaning time.
My house is a bit of a nightmare to clean as the layout is odd and I have to change power outlets frequently (and unplug my boys’ Playstation every time I do the playroom). Not anymore. Gone are the days of wheeling a vacuum around the house (and tripping over the damn cord every few steps).
Plus, the vac comes with up to 40 minutes of run time, which lets me do the entire house – carpets, rugs, couch, blinds, fans, floor, even walls (and stop for a few much-needed breathers along the way). Talk about stamina! I wish other things in my house lasted 40 minutes…
Talking about much-needed breathers, HEPA filters in the V8 Absolute mean that there’s no dust blowing back into your rooms. What gets sucked up, stays sucked up. And that’s especially important if you have kids with allergies or asthma.
Floors, fabrics and fans – Oh MY!
The Dyson V8 Absolute comes with all the gadgets you need to get every crevice of the house, from the AC vents to the ceiling fans. Even that awkward area between the fridge and the oven. I did a full blown clean over the weekend and WOW – the change was amazing! Seriously, there was not a spec of dirt, dust, dander or pet hair anywhere!
Until my boys came home from soccer, that is.
But, even after they spilled biscuits all over the kitchen floor, we just brought the Dyson back out and had it cleaned up in less than a minute. Before the Dyson cordless, it would take that long just to lug the vacuum out of the cupboard and plug it in!
Here’s the other thing to love. The suction is so strong, that you get every particle, every time. No having to go over the same bit of floor twice, or even three times. One sweep will do. And it gets the chunky floor fodder too. Cheerio, Cheerios!
Still not sure? Watch what I had to say when I put it through its paces…
Car-nage no more!
Okay, but it gets better… Because as soon as my boys got home and saw the new device, they HAD to try it. And because it’s cordless, they could easily carry it the garage and clean the car without needing to manoeuvre the cord around the vehicle.
My boys did the entire car themselves. While I supervised… aka, sat in the sun, drank my (hot) coffee and read the paper. In fact, they like using it so much that they fight to see who gets to clean up the post-dinner crumbs. And they’re even happy to vacuum the floors in their own bedrooms.
In fact, check out just how amazingly convenient Dyson cord-free vacuuming is in the car with the Dyson V6, a predecessor to the Dyson V8 cord-free vacuum cleaner.
Even better, the V8 Absolute is so easy to empty – just hold it over the bin or a bag, pull the red button upwards and it all drops straight out! No mess, no fuss! Plus, that makes it super simple to retrieve Lego bits and any other stray small toy parts that get sucked up. #iwarnedthem 😉

THE VERDICT:
It might not be the cheapest cordless vacuum around and having reviewed quite a few in my time with Mum Central, hands down, the Dyson V8 Absolute wins the cake!
It’s a solid machine, lightweight, SO adaptable and to be honest, it’s seriously got the grunt, the features and of course it can handle whatever we throw at it.
Up to 40 minute battery runtime means I don’t have to charge it after every use, it’s got a host of attachments to face any challenge I throw at it and it’s simply a robust, well engineered and lightweight machine.
It does what it says it does with ease.
FIVE STARS FROM ME!
Bravo Dyson, you’ve done it again and it’s earnt you our MUM’S THUMBS UP AWARD!
