Verdict
The budget door into Dyson: older motor, smaller bin, still better-filtered than most mid-rangers.
- Entry Dyson pricing
- Whole-machine filtration

- ~40 min max runtime
- Smaller bin and weaker motor than V15
Best for: Dyson-curious buyers on budgets.
Skip it if: Deep-carpet power needs (V15/V11).

Written reviews elsewhere
“The Dyson V8 is a decent choice for a house. This small cordless stick vacuum is so well-sealed that it won't impact air quality as you clean, although you should be careful not to release a cloud of dust when emptying its bagless dirt compartment.”
RTINGS“The Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum offers a good balance of cleaning power and battery life for a fairly affordable price.”
