The V8 battery life is significantly less then the V10 along with the price tag. Otherwise their are small nuanced differences. The absolute versions include both the brush roller head and soft roller. The attachments in these higher tier versions (absolute vs their basic) are really overkill.
For battery life think about how long your actually vaccum on time will beโฆ.it ends up not being a lot. Ex I bought 2 dyson refurbished (eBay) v6 absolutes for $280 + tax 4 years ago. I have 2200sqft with 50/50 carpet/hard woodโฆ between the both of them it's enough to do the whole place. One is dying very soon.
If I recall correctly, after the V6 most of the next versions had The major issues worked out (easier to empty bin, HEPA filter etc).

the purchase price was like $270 add $100 for the battery and divide by 6 years of good battery life= you are paying about $60 a year to have the basic model. thats assuming nothing else fails on it. they only have 2 year warranty on this v7.
you could just get crap walmart vacuum and throw it away get a new one every year. bad for the earth obviously. Walmart has basic compact vacuums for about $60 right now. I've had them before you get about a year out of them. I love this v7 but when you see on slickdeal front page some shark corded vac for $100 vs dumping $100 into a battery for a 3.5 year old dyson machine its a toss up. If i even saw a v6 or v7 like $200 I would just get a new one before i would dump $100 into just a battery.
You can buy a new battery for $30 on Amazon

I also find that the fluffy head is prone to cracking in various places and takes a lot of maintenance to keep it working. James Dyson will not get any more of my money.
