The V8 still delivers that signature Dyson suction on hard floors and low-pile rugs, and the Motorbar genuinely detangles pet hair as you clean, but battery life is the dealbreaker for anyone with more than a small space. Count on about 30 minutes of normal runtime, a 3-hour recharge, and a trigger you have to hold the whole time unless you buy an aftermarket adapter.
