Dyson V8 Motorhead Cordless Vacuum Cleaner/Black,

When it comes to the fragile surfaces, and hard floors, for example, hardwood, go for a Dyson V8 that tags along with the soft roller cleaner head. It has been designed with soft woven nylon, which is tough on the dirt and gentle on the floors. With this cleaning head, you can eliminate the large dirt debris while the anti-static carbon fiber filaments trap the fine dust and pet hair. Only the Dyson V8 Absolute has this attachment, but you can buy it separately if you need it. FiltrationSuction power– The motor is also the same for the Animal, Absolute, and Motorhead, but the Animal+ has a less powerful motor, and hence lesser suction. Weight– The Dyson V8 vacuums have different attachments, and this leads to a negligible difference in the weight. We were also interested in the operation noise of the vacuum, and we are glad there’s an improvement compared to the Dyson V7. One thing I like about the Dyson V7 is its compact frame. Even if the size difference in the spec sheet isn’t significant, the V7 feels much lighter than the V8. When it comes to filtration, the vacuums have been designed with two washable HEPA filters– a pre-motor filter in the middle of the cyclonic system, and a post-motor filter behind the motor. While these filters ensure that air is free from dust, bad odor, and allergens, they enhance the durability and efficiency of the motor. Unlike other models, this one doesn’t clog at all.

Dyson V8 Motorhead Vs Animal? What’s The Difference Between A Dyson V8 Motorhead Vs Animal?

From all the V8 vacuums, only the Dyson V8 Animal+ has a different bin capacity. This one is smaller at 0.4 L, but then, the hygienic bin emptying system is standard across all the models. If you’re only comparing the V8 Absolute and V7 MotorHead, the nod goes to the V8 since it has the Fluffy attachment. With non-powered tools, the Dyson V8 runs for 42 minutes in low power, and 7 minutes when in high-power mode. When it comes to the powered cleaner head, the runtime was much shorter, with 26.5 minutes in low power mode and 7 minutes in max power. The difference is only minimal in the default setting. You’ll notice in the chart that the V7 has almost as much airflow at the wand and nozzle.The handle is broad and comfortable, even for people with small hands, and the power button – which resembles a trigger – is ergonomically placed just where your forefinger should be.

Both vacuums score high marks with ergonomics. I like how the primary floor nozzles of each model are capable of sharp turns and avoiding furniture. The compact design helps immensely in cramped spaces. All V7 options have the same motor and battery. The difference would be the tools and a post-motor HEPA filter.It did noticeably better with nothing wrapping after the nine-inch test, but the limit is eleven and twelve-inch hair. Tools out of the box The Dyson V8 Absolute is a lightweight version of the Animal. It weighs only 5.1 pounds without the wand. It has a two-year parts and labor warranty. The Animal Motorhead is made of polypropylene and uses a radial cyclonic action to clean surfaces. It can clean dirt from kids and pets. You’ll feel free to take on more challenging cleaning tasks with this vacuum cleaner. The Dyson V8 Absolute has two filters – one pre-motor filter in the middle of the cyclones plus a HEPA filter behind the motor. In this Dyson V8 Animal vs. Absolute vs. Motorhead comparison review, we have detailed everything; from the similarities to the differences, and who each model is best suited for.

Above that, there's a HEPA filter encased in blue/purple plastic, with air vents on the sides. Below the filter and air vents is the toggle switch to change suction power – there are just standard and max settings to choose from on the V8. When the battery has drained, the motor just switches off, with no reduction in suction prior to that, so you get consistent power and performance for the full 40 minutes. The Absolute version can clean hard floors and carpet as it has the Fluffy and Direct Drive attachments. Mini soft dusting brush– This specialty brush has soft bristles that makes it ideal for cleaning the soft surfaces like car interior, leather sofas, lampshades, e.t.c. The colors mentioned above are highlighted on the wand, cleaning head, and also the main unit. Accessories, Tools and AttachmentsUsing soft fibers and carbon bristles on a rotating bar, the Soft Roller is designed to glide directly over floors, and this means that if you have larger debris (like kitchen spills) that need cleaning up, they’re not scattered willy nilly. And, depending on which V8 model you opt for, you also get a low-reach adaptor that you can fit onto the end of the telescopic tube to get under couches and low tables (as pictured in the image above). I did comprehensive tests for the Dyson V7 and V8 on five, seven, nine, eleven, and twelve-inch hair strands. While the V7 only has a single LED indicator, so it’s impossible to gauge how much battery life is remaining. Dyson V7 vs. V8 Power/Airflow Comparison While there are many differences between the two models, both offer similar functions. If you have bare floors, the Animal is the clear winner. It has the highest suction power, a large bin, and extra tools to clean crevices. The animal is better suited to carpeted floors. The motorhead is better for harder surfaces, but it is more expensive. The animal is a great option for pets and those with bare floors. Cleans surface dirt better on carpets: The V7 scored 100% in seven of the eight tests and was a few percentage points better than the V8.
