    Dyson is known all over the world for their vacuum design and technology. The Dyson Handstick range is designed to be the ideal tool for smaller homes or even as an additional spot-cleaning tool in larger homes. The V8 Animal Handstick is a premium offering from Dyson.

    The V8 digital motor and large-capacity lithium battery provide up to 40 minutes of fade-free, powerful suction when using unpowered vacuum heads. HEPA filtration ensures that micro particles are extracted from the exhausted air, which means you’ll have cleaner air leaving the vacuum than the air you breathe.

    Designed with your convenience in mind, the Handstick range from Dyson comes with a docking station that will store additional accessories and charge your vacuum while not in use. The Dyson V8 Animal Handstick is versatile, simple to operate, easy to store and powerful.
    HEPA Filter

    Short for high-efficiency particulate arresting, HEPA filters capture particles that are as small as 0.3 µm. In other words, it will capture particles that are smaller than human skin cells, dust mites, and it can even capture dust mite excrement. The filtered air that leaves your vacuum will be cleaner than the air you breathe.

    Direct Drive Cleaner Head

    The direct-drive cleaner head provided with this vacuum is designed to drive its bristles deep into your carpet to extract ground-in dirt. Coupled with powerful suction, deep-cleaning with this vacuum is simple.

    Docking Station

    Provided with this vacuum is a convenient docking station that will store your accessories and will charge your vacuum when not in use. So when you’re ready to clean, your vacuum will be too. (Different model pictured.)

    40 Minutes of Fade-free Suction

    A new lithium-ion battery powers this vacuum for up to 40 minutes of fade-free suction when using the soft roller cleaning head. Even when using the motorised direct-drive cleaner head, the large-capacity battery will provide you 25 minutes of usage.

    Great. But electrocution?
    Am I the only one who gets electrocuted when my palm grazes the power plug in the handle while holding this vacuum? Unexpected jolts while vacuuming are distressing, but they might be worth it for the convenience of this great cordless...

    Great suction!
    I can’t believe how much better this machine works than my upright. My only complaint is that I constantly get shocks from the power plug when doing the carpets. Very uncomfortable. Other than that, it is doing an amazing job.

    Easy to Use
    I am happy with our Dyson so far. One thing that I do not like is that it is scratching our hardwood flooring. The soft purple piping on the power head has come off as well.
