The V8 has been updated by Dyson several times since the original arrived in 2016. Some versions were more of a refresh than a new vacuum, but the V8 Cyclone feels different. In this review we cover its pros, cons, and features, including why this may be the best V8 cordless stick vacuum yet.
The JELLYPIG X100 pairs excellent sealed suction, long max mode runtime, and a large dustbin with mixed pickup and below average carpet deep cleaning. Here’s how it performed in our evaluations.
The Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty is a newer cordless vacuum similar to the flagship Clean & Empty, but with a few key differences, all of which we cover in this full review. As usual, we bought this cordless vacuum with our own money and put it through a series of evaluations to see how well it held up against the flagship PowerDetect. We found that there were some clear advantages to the lighter design, along with a few trade-offs.

The Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine is Dyson’s new flagship cordless vacuum, adding a redesigned All Floor Cones cleaner head, strong carpet and hard floor performance, sealed HEPA filtration, long battery life, and the Submarine wet-cleaning head. After our independent studio evaluations, it earned the top spot in our cordless vacuum rankings.
The Bissell PowerClean 4173 impressed us with excellent pickup performance, a perfect 100% carpet deep-cleaning score, strong filtration, and quiet operation. However, concerns about handle weight, convenience features, and long-term reliability kept it out of our Top 10 Cordless Vacuums rankings.
Dyson recently introduced the V9 as a new entry in its cordless lineup, slotting it between the V8 and the V11 in terms of both price and features. It adopts the in-line body style Dyson popularized with the V10 and V11, comes in lighter than the V8, and is currently selling for significantly less than its original list price. In this review, we’ll cover the strengths and weaknesses of the Dyson V9 Motorbar and see how it stacks up against other cordless vacuums we’ve tested.
