Dyson V8™ Overview

Soft roller cleaner head– This is a brush bar with soft woven nylon bristles and anti-static carbon fiber filaments. As the name suggests, this is a tool that has been specially designed to clean the hard surfaces, for example, tile floors, hardwood, linoleum, e.t.c. Flexi crevice tool– This one flexes to reach the tight corners, and behind appliances where the standard crevice tool can’t reach. Above that, there's a HEPA filter encased in blue/purple plastic, with air vents on the sides. Below the filter and air vents is the toggle switch to change suction power – there are just standard and max settings to choose from on the V8. The colors mentioned above are highlighted on the wand, cleaning head, and also the main unit. Accessories, Tools and Attachments That isn’t true even if the V7 and V8 don’t have a clip-on battery; replacing the battery is doable using a Philips screwdriver.
