Power up. Noise down.

The Dyson digital motor V8.

Digital pulses switch the polarity of neodymium magnets, to spin the patented Dyson digital motor V8 at up to 107,000rpm - five times faster than a Formula One car engine. Producing up to 115 Air Watts, it generates powerful suction on carpets and hard floors.

2 Tier Radial™ cyclones

15 small cyclones each generate powerful g-forces to fling dust into the bin. The post-motor filter is 1.5m of ePTFE porous membrane sandwiched between layers of PE/PET, folded 158 times to fit in a compact space. It’s optimised to provide filtration with minimal pressure consumption, for more suction. So it captures microscopic dirt particles as small as 0.3 microns – almost 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Redesigned battery chemistry.

The six-cell lithium-ion battery has been engineered with nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) chemistry. The NCA cathode offers high power capability, with the ability to store a high charge per unit volume and to discharge this energy quickly. Which gives the Dyson V8™ vacuum up to 40 minutes of fade-free power¹ – double the run time of its predecessor.

Acoustic control.

Streamlined airways and open-cell foam direct airflow around the motor to reduce noisy turbulence. A converging fluted funnel on the back of the motor reduces noise further, along with an acoustic baffle that blocks the line of sight to the sound source, and acoustic felt and closed-cell foam that absorbs vibrations. So it’s 50% quieter than the Dyson V6™ vacuum.
