Meet the tester
I'm Lauren, Ideal Home's floorcare expert and Certified Expert in Vacuums. I tested the Dyson V8 Cyclone Cordless Vacuum Cleaner in my home in Kent, which has a mixture of hard flooring, carpet and large area rugs. I used it every single day (and sometimes twice a day) in place of my regular vacuum cleaner, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal.
As Ideal Home’s Vacuums Expert, I’ve tested more vacuum cleaners than I can count, and I’ve reviewed almost all of the best Dyson vacuums on the market today. So, when I learned that one of my favourite old-school Dysons had been given a makeover, I knew I needed to take it for a spin.
