Higher ratedRanked #4 in Best Cordless Stick Vacuums

Dyson V8

4.1

$299

The redesigned V8 keeps everything most buyers wanted from Dyson — sealed HEPA, anti-tangle brushroll and a confident detachable handheld — while dropping the price below $300 on sale. You lose the V15's laser, particle counter and 240 AW headroom, but the V8 cleans short-pile carpet and hardwood reliably for the cost of a budget Shark. It's the value-tier Dyson that actually delivers Dyson cleaning.

Strengths

— Detangling Motorbar cleaner head solves the V8's old hair-wrap weakness
— Lightest Dyson cordless at 5.6 lbs handle weight
— 40-minute Eco runtime is competitive at this price

Watch-outs

— 115 AW peak suction is less than half the Dyson V15's 240 AW
— Boost mode lasts only 7-10 minutes per Vacuum Wars and TechGearLab testing
— 0.53 L bin requires more frequent emptying than the V15's 0.76 L

How they stack up

Dyson V8

Cheaper than every other vacuum on this page except the eufy HomeVac S11 Infinity. Less suction than the Tineco Pure ONE S15 Pro and far less than the Dyson V15 Detect, but the only sub-$300 vacuum with full Dyson HEPA sealing and the new detangling Motorbar head.

eufy HomeVac S11 Infinity

Lowest sticker price on this page and the only one with two batteries in the box. Matches the Shark Cordless Detect Pro on peak suction but with less polished smart-sensing. Less powerful than Dyson V8 on carpet but cheaper.
