Ps, you can easily replace the battery with 3 screws, they even sell user replacement batteries for this model on dysons website, you can also get specialized handle battery cradles that even fit Milwaukee or Dewalt batteries which last longer and simply slide on and off.
I have a very old v8 pet model. I love it and still doing great. I had the same issue. I cleaned the filter. Did not help. But I did not soak in soapy water. I took in to a sweeper shop. They charged a lot to do a full cleaning. Now I know what to so. I was only rinsing the filter. Thank you so much for this video.
Danny, sorry to hear of your negative experience with this product. And, thanks for sharing with your fellow viewers so they know there can be problems. Best, DFJ
Thanks very much Jay for taking the time to make and upload this video. I found it very helpful as I'm researching the V8 now, before deciding to buy it. Cheers! Cathy in Ireland☺
had mine for maybe 6 years i guess, battery just now is starting to go down,i use a little brush on a wire , like a bottle brush to unstick the inside which works great, youre right though they should have color coded the heads instead of looking through to see the brush, i wash the middle filter the one that gave you the problem, got to keep that clean
hello! is it normal for the dyson v8 to blow exessive cool air from the filter....cus my vacuum is brand new still havent used it...had another one before and it didnt blow that much air and it did clean so good....should i take it back is it bad ugh I dont know😂

You are very welcome! Let me know how it goes!
We bought one about a month ago and so far we don’t have any issues…Thanks for your post!

How much did they charge?
Bought one about 4 yrs ago. Gone through two batteries. Your luckier than me. You said Motörhead lol. Lemmy lives forever

Mine was 5 years old and I went through 5 batteries!!
Thank you for a very helpful and informative review. The V8 is on sale at Dyson and I just wanted to make sure I'm making the right decision.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Your video helped convince me to buy one!

Can get 3rd party battery off Amazon and just put it on. Super easy. Just a couple screws.
Love it! Ours is still going strong, but this is great to know. Thanks for writing! DFJ
Thanks so much Jay you explained the Dyson v8 model so well! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Just picked up a refurbished one for 150 off ebay. Looking forward to using it
Wahooooo!

We also have one and so far it is doing fine 👍👍.
Good to hear!
good idea labeling the different heads. To someone in a hurry they look like the same thing
Very informative. 👍🏼👍🏼
I bought the v8 and it started doing that pulsating thing after just one use. I returned it.
Best review on the net of the dyson V8 great job ,pleasure to watch .Thank you very much Sir
Thanks for watching!
You can buy so many aftermarket batteries for the V8 now. They're easy to install, all you need is a screwdriver.
Thank you!
Interesting, battery in mine was useless within a year.
On normal the inability to suck skin off rice pudding comes to mind!!
That has to be one of the most unusual comments we've ever received! LOL! Best, DFJ
