Review on Dyson V8 Absolute Global vacuum cleaner, silver by Laura Nicole Grandi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

In general, I thought the design was appealing; it would be a great fit for people who don't have carpets, but because I do, the excitement of making the purchase was somewhat dampened. Aside from that, though, everything is as advertised: writing is quick and easy; there are no wires or other restrictions. The power is enough, but I wouldn't say it cleans any better than others. It didn't remove a lot of dust from our furniture or carpets.

Pros
  • Despite its small size and user-friendliness, the current charge is still sufficient for cleaning a 105 square meter home.
Cons
  • I would give it a 1, but the shocks from the charging connector make it difficult to use on carpets of any kind, natural or synthetic. You can get used to vacuuming without touching the charging socket if your hand is small enough (this works for me, but not for my husband; I still get shocked multiple times while cleaning a single carpet; it's not fun), but you'd think that, for the price, this detail would have been taken into account, and the charging socket would be located elsewhere (or not shock you at all). A second drawback is that the power is not variable; while there is a maximum setting, a minimum setting would be preferable for cleaning small rugs without damaging them (since the maximum setting pulls the villi out of the cat's fur house, though this is more of a question of the quality of the house than of the rugs themselves).
