Filtering System: One of the outstanding features of Dyson vacuum cleaners, including the V8, is their powerful filtration system. The V8 can capture 99.99% of tiny particles as small as 0.3 microns, releasing cleaner air back into the environment. During cleaning, there is minimal odor, creating a fresher atmosphere.
