The Dyson V8 Plus peaks at 115 Air Watts of suction on Max mode, making it a highly capable daily sweeper for hard floors and low-pile carpets. At just 5.6 pounds, this stick vacuum relies on Dyson’s Motorbar cleaner head to actively detangle pet hair before it wraps around the brush roll. You get up to 40 minutes of run time on the standard setting, which easily covers a typical two-bedroom apartment, though the battery drains in just five minutes if you leave it on maximum power.
