Dyson V8 Absolute: Is it worth it?

- PRIYANKA A KHANDELWAL

When it comes to our home and keeping it sparkling, a good vacuum cleaner is one of the most valuable players that can make or break the purity of the house. As minuscule the importance of dry-cleaning certain corners of your house might seem, it is vital from the health perspectiv­e. While there are plenty of options available in the market, the technology and futuristic approach Dyson brings to the home-cleaning segment, no one does. Known for its innovation, the Dyson V8 Absolute model lasts twice as long as the corded pieces and transforms your way of cleaning, making you ready to replace the traditiona­l vacuum that trails along wherever you move with a heavy body and stout wire. But does the Dyson technology justifies the hefty price tag of Rs 34,900? In 2007, the Singaporea­n multinatio­nal technology company launched Dc16 — a new line of handheld vacuum cleaners (something that wasn’t available in India) and since then they have created gadgets disrupting the vacuum cleaner market. At the moment, their vacuum comes with detachable heads, a better battery, a sleek and lighter body, and wands that seamlessly turn to meet your cleaning purposes. One of the most effective factors that make this piece a good addition to your home appliances is duration — it can last up to 35 minutes on one charge.

The device motor runs at 425W, a significan­t upgrade from its predecesso­r that ran at 350W. The motor spins up to 110,000rpm and is equipped with fade-free lithium-ion batteries that help in advancing its running time. The device takes around five hours to fully charge. Moving on to the issue of noise that the machine makes, this particular model generates 50% less noise compared to the previous generation which weakens its suction power.

Considerin­g that the wand and head are attached together you initially feel the weight but with continuous usage, the weight doesn't bother you. Dyson V8 Absolute vacuum cleaner understand­s how various surfaces require different fittings and observantl­y works towards it. The appliance comes with a direct-drive cleaner head that removes groundin dirt from carpets and soft woven nylon and anti-static carbon fibre, for hard floors. In case your floor has obstinate dirt collected on the mats and carpets, use their stubborn dirt brush and we can vouch it does wonder. Most importantl­y, it comes with an advanced filtration feature that captures allergens and expels cleaner air.
