Yes I'm pleased with the performance of it. I've just ordered the new Ball Animal 2 as well. It is due for delivery tomorrow :) I've never had so many just released machines before LOL

Hi Matt, thanks for your review and really detailed info on the V10, I also liked your video. I am looking to replace my DC59 this week and am torn between the V8 Total Clean and the V10 Total Clean. I am trying to justify the £150 difference between the 2. I would use it mainly for hard floors with a little bit carpet and a bit for cleaning the car. It seems that on normal power with the motorised head there is little difference in runtime between the 2. Do you think the extra performance justifies the extra expense for the V10 - £500 seems so much, although £350 is not small change either! 😀

Hello vacfan, I see u are from Cardiff too! I’ve changed my mind again, but I’ve ordered them both this afternoon 😳 I had all but decided on the V10 but was really struggling with the £500 as I know I will only be selling in a year or so when something else comes along. Anyway I opened a Very account and ordered the V8 Absolute and the Ball Animal 2 - with 10% off first order and 3 months to pay. So both of them cost just over the price of the V10. Can’t wait to try the Ball Animal 2 out - especially the new hose set up.

Vacfan1982 & Somertons25 While the V8/V10 & LightBall/Ball2 take the same style quick release tools the sizing fitment is very different with the diameter of the cordless tools being a lot smaller. Therefore the tools from the cordless machines do not fit the mains powered ones. | ||

I want that US Ball 2 so badly. It has 250 air watts and the EU Ball 2 90 air watts. That is so unfair. Also the US version has that aggressive brushroll with extremely good agitation. We don't have that either.
Only thing what I would add to the US Ball 2 is the large debris channels and suction selector from the EU model. | ||

Hi Patrick
I was wondering if the US Ball 2 was the same as the UK DC41 Mk2 or the DC55 which I have. But looking at the brush roll it seems a little different. BTW I love the colour accent on the front of the brush roll! Your machines look in perfect condition - do you use them? If you do, how are the bins so clear? I have seen on some YouTube videos mentions of hairspray in the bin when new? I’m wondering what type of fluffy head I will get with the V8 when it arrives. It seems that there’s a version with two rollers (like yours) and a different one with no roller at the back? I wonder why it was changed and what’s the difference? | ||

Hi Matt
That’s a shame, I assumed the tools would be interchangeable like my V6/DC55. I guess that means there’s 2 adapters to buy. There’s a few extra tools I had with the DC55 that I’d like to keep. BTW I just found out as a new member I can only post every 30 minutes - that’s frustrating! 🙄 Does anyone know how long that restriction lasts? | ||

I got the opportunity to play with one at Best Buy yesterday. Apparently, the Best Buy employees get kind of pissed off if you try the demo displays. Anyway, this Dyson certainly looked neat. It did not have as much suction as I was expecting. Airflow is next to none. It picked up larger particles that the nozzle was run over. I dumped a little dirt on the test rug they had and was less than impressed with the results. The opening to the bin and cyclone assembly was really small, reducing airflow and creating a blockage point. Battery is non removable as well. I wonder how long it will take for these to show up in my local vacuum shop

Hey guys, got home uber excited this evening to my 2 new Dysons.
There’s loads of reviews about the V8 so I won’t tell you about that. But the Ball Animal 2 is just gorgeous, seems so much quieter than the DC55 I’ve got. The new hose set up is great too! The machine seems much more nimble than the DC55/41 - although it’s turning circle is tighter, it doesn’t seem to nip round the corners the same way. As Matt has already said the colour scheme is beautiful too! I haven’t been this excited about a new machine since the Sebo Felix about 7 or 8 years ago. I don’t mean I haven’t enjoyed lots of lovely machines over the years but this is just beautiful - can I say that after being such a Miele/Sebo and bagged fan for years?!? I thought I was going to be super excited about the floor nozzle, but I’m just meh... about it. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to Miele turbo nozzles screaming it just seems a little quiet to me. Also it just seems a bit small. I’m not sure if I will be keeping the mini turbo tool on the side as I think it spoils the look - although I used to feel that about the Sebo X4 but I got used to it. Dyson also arranged to send me out the adapters for the V8 and the Ball 2 - so I can keep all my old tools too. Although I’ve not got quite the collection the Patrick has 😀 Anyway if you got any questions I’ll be happy to answer -obviously as a newbie and not trying to steal anyone’s thunder as there are others far more knowledgable than I that have the machine first 😜 Matt 😜 Can u tell I’m a little giddy 🙄 | ||

Haha really glad you're pleased with your new machines. The Ball Animal 2 has to be one of the nicest Dyson uprights imho. I agree about it being a little strange the tangle free turbine head being housed on the machine but you soon get used to it. | ||

@Vacfan1982 Hi Mark.. I guess my Joke didn’t land.. I was making a “mistake” with your name to try to be humorous. Sorry it wasn’t funny. Oh well I do have an odd sense of humor. Hugs Mark and I can’t believe you make mistakes all the time. 🤔 Patrick | ||

size f Dyson tools and adapters This would be mainly about the corded vacs. Did Dyson ever use standard 32 mm tools? I know they don't anymore but was wondering if they ever did and if an adapter exists to convert Dyson's current tool design to a standard one. Mike | ||

Hi mike
I’m not sure if the early models were 32mm or larger. I have DC07 in the loft and will check tomorrow and report back. I do have an adapter that converts DC41/V6 tools to older models so will check this tomorrow too. And I am also just waiting on adapters from dyson that concert V8/UK Ball Animal 2 styles to DC41 style. I didn’t have any models between DC07 (2003) and DC41 (2016). Someone else may not here?!? I found the following video that demonstrates the adapters to you. shop.manchestervacs.co.uk/dyson-... Hope this helps. Regards. Jon. | ||
