Woman & HomeHands-on review · 2026
An older, cheaper Dyson that still cleans as well as pricier models, is light and nimble with good runtime, and omits only the newer sensor and laser extras.

Vacuum WarsNo printed score · Hands-on review
The redesigned V8 handles very well, picks up carpet debris excellently and adds hair detangling and a big attachment set at a lower Dyson price.
