I have the V15 and am very satisfied with it. I think the V8 will serve you well for small pickups around the house. It’s very convenient to just grab a small vacuum like this to clean up small bits here and there. I cut my hair at home and this thing is awesome for cleaning up afterwards, as well as cleaning the messes that my boxer creates throughout the day.

I agree. We just bought the V15. I can’t believe how much stuff it picks up. We have cats and the cat hair it picks up is insane. You’d think we never vacuumed before.

I have a Dyson V15 detect cordless for quick clean ups and. Miele Canister for full-on vacuums. My Miele is a C2 Electroplus (motorized head for carpets).

This is so true and I wish I would have known this before I bought my SEBO K3. I love my cute little pink canister, but in my 700sqft apartment it’s really a pain to drag around. I got a refurbished Dyson V15 on Black Friday and it’s SO much more convenient. I feel obsessed with vacuuming now lol. I’ll always have my SEBO and it definitely is more powerful, but I’m not sure it’s worth it for a small space with hardwood floors.

Two dogs who shed a ton and have had great success with the V15 the laser head attachment is top notch

After years of trying the best canister & cordless vacuums, I can assure you, no cordless vacuum can ever be as as great a cleaning machine as a great canister vacuum. But you do sacrifice portability & overall ease of use. They both have use cases. So now, we've the Miele Complete C3 Brilliant & the Dyson V15 Detect.
