Dyson V8 Animal - Standard price of $849. Decent special on these types of vacuums. I believe this model is better for pet hair when compared with the standard Dyson V8.

I'm still rocking the even older v6, and it more than covers my needs. Needs a new battery every few years, but the genuine one from Dyson for $99 is the best way to keep it going.
Bought a 3rd party battery for our old v6 from aliexpress for $42.22 shipped. It's been 1.5 years now and it still works perfectly.
I've replaced three battery packs from Dyson for my two V6 vacuum cleaners, they generally last 3 to 4 years and they also come with a two year warranty. The bonus is I have 18 18650 batteries which are working 100% with no faults so I can only presume it's the charging controller on the battery pack. I considered buying third party batteries but that can be a bit hit and miss.
Oh man, I just got a battery holder for my power tool battery and modified it so now I power my V6 with my AEG tool batteries. When the battery runs out, 5 second to slide out the flat one and load in a new fully charged.
No more Dyson batteries and the run time is waaayyy longer. Plus I have more batteries for my tools now too.
Personally I find the older ones don't have enough suction when you're used to a corded vacuum. But compared with other cordless options they are great - depends what your benchmark is I guess
In general the main difference between normal, animal, absolute; are the attachments they come with.
When I was buying my dyson I found the youtube channel 'Vacuum Wars' very useful. They do thorough reviews on individual models and provide good comparisons between V7, V8, V10.

Good luck deciding which one to get :)
Can price match with Noel Leeming for extra fly buy points?
Noel leeming is also dropping the price to $599
$84.99 for extra 3 years warranty, definitely better than HN ($109 for two years).
This model is more than enough for general vacuum, we have had it for more than three years now, never had any issue with it.
Been using the V8 for 4.5 years. I reckon it was the point where I think a stick vacuum can replace the traditional ones.
4.5 years later, it failed. Because we got the extended warranty from Harvey Norman (up to 5 years) so we got a full refund (got it for $589 at the time).
Then we use the money for a V10 at $799. Not a crazy upgrade in terms of power but it's a good to have imo.
As others have mentioned, it's the old flagship. I reckon it's still a good stick vacuum cleaner but you might also want to consider the V10 when it drops to $799.Did you buy the extended warranty for V10 as well?
Yes we did. Based on our experience with the V8. Just for a peace of mind.
Wow! How much was the 5year extra warranty for your V8 originally and now the V10?
@RSTH: It's a 3-year store warranty on top of the 2 year Dyson warranty. You can see the warranty pricing on the retailer's website.
If you struggle to pricematch, Dysons Trademe store are also offering it at $599
https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/home-living/cleaning…I suggest going for the V10s . A 200 sqm house is easily covered by the V10(lowest setting, which is enough for most of the cases), with at least 30% battery left.
And better design too.V6,7,8 are the best
V10 battery and suction is great, but the material is rubbish
Never tried v11 and v15. Expensive afI was going to share this too!! You beat me to it :) can get $10 off with the current promo code
Thanks, I just picked it up from NL for $589 (priced matched with Farmers). I read and watched a lot of reviews, the V10 extra battery life is probably better for our sized house but I couldn't justify the extra cost. The suction seems really good on the V8 even compared to our Miele corded.
Anyone got any user feedback on this? Reviews online are promising but it's a model from 2016 which is quite old
