I'm trying to gather the information for the sake of comparison but for some reason I'm having trouble accessing parts of Dyson's web site. Here are some approximate figures:
Dyson Omniglide:
Weight: 4.25 pounds
Air suction power: 50 AW
Run-time: 20 minutes
Dyson v7:
Weight: 5.45 pounds fully assembled
Air suction power: 100 AW
Run time in normal mode: 30 minutes
Dyson v8:
The Dyson v8 OLD model is I think about 5.8 pounds. They released a new model recently with a hair-filtering motorhead brush that is about 5.5 pounds if I remember correctly.
Weight: ~5.5 pounds
Air suction power: 110 AW (approximated, I'm not sure)
Run time: The old v8 ran for at least 40 minutes in normal mode. However, reviews tended to favor the v7's performance in tests for reasons that were never clear to me. I don't know if this was improved with the new v8.
Dyson v12 Slim:
Weight: 5.2 pounds
Air Suction: 150 AW
Run-time: 60 minutes
The Dyson v12 Slim is the new hotness. It has a laser cleaner head and I would love to have one. It's priced at about $650 which is a lot but reasonable compared to the Dyson v15.
None of these models is going to be a great replacement for a corded vacuum--the dust bins are too small. If you want a cordless replacement for a full-fledged vacuum, then you should look at the Dyson Outsize models (which have an outsized price tag to boot lol).
The Dyson Omni-Glide's claim to fame is its dual brush swiveling fuzzy roller head. This thing is two fuzzy brush rolls that spin in opposite directions, which feed dirt and crumbs on hard floords into the vacuum's maw. These cleaning heads are mounted in an assembly on ball bearings, and using it is just plain fun. I know it sounds a little gimmicky--I would just watch a video and see if you like the way it maneuvers.
It doesn't need a lot of suction to do its job. It also features some of the latest features of the newest Dyson models--no trigger to push to run the vacuum, a replaceable battery, and an in-line dust bin (though whether this is good or not is debatable).
The dust bin is a little easier to fully remove from the motor.
It also has a charging cradle that doesn't need to be mounted to charge the main unit. It is a little cradle that can rest on a table and you can place the unit (or even just the battery, or an extra battery) on the unit to charge.
Who should buy this? Honestly, probably someone with almost entirely hard flooring, someone that already has another Dyson (if they like using it for more serious vacuuming), or someone who already has a full-fledged corded vacuum.
What I can say is that it's a pleasure to use and I'm really enjoying it. This is a good price, and you can think of it as a very sleek, sexy dust buster with some upholstery tools to boot.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, ask away. I only have a Dyson v7 and I'm not that interested in the heavier models but I've been researching Dyson a lot over the past 6 months or so. I'd love to help anyone who thinks they may enjoy using a Dyson pick the right one and get a good deal on it. My knowledge of other vacuums is limited, but I've done enough researching that I could probably tell you if you might not like a Dyson. It's really about having fun doing some light vacuuming though.
By the way, if it's OK I'd like to rep the web site Modern Castle. I learned a lot of info from the guy that runs that site, and he's very helpful. He has loads of Dyson reviews. There are likely better Dyson resources out there, but a lot of them are coming from the perspective of the UK market and reference a lot of legacy machines and/or machines that are not (and may never be) made available in the US.
Stick with the V's models.
Overall I think the rtings doesn't know how to really test vacuums. From all I could find, this excels at what it is intended for. Very quick and easy cleaning of hardwood floors.

My frustration when I was looking into getting a Dyson 6 months ago was that the v7, which actually came out after the v8, was in short supply. It's 0.5 pounds lighter than the v8, but has a shorter battery life and slightly lower suction. Curiously, more than one YouTube review said that the v7 inexplicably picked up more dirt. It wasn't a big difference though.
I really wanted something pretty light. Honestly, as you get heavier, there are loads of competitors coming up the road.
One thing to keep in mind is that all Dyson v8's come with a HEPA filter, whereas only some Dyson v7's do. In particular, the US version of the Dyson v7 Absolute does NOT come with a HEPA filter, despite it coming with loads of attachments. They do make after-market kits to add one on though. It just seems to me that, if the Dyson v7 came out after the Dyson v8, and all the Dyson v8's have HEPA filters, then all the Dyson v7's should too.
In general, you see Dyson v8's and v7's for $300 (though often it will be with only one or two attachments). If you have the main powered carpet head cleaner and possibly the fluffy head, you're good to go. It's nice to have the dusters, but you can get after-market dusters (or even used official Dyson ones in good condition) for cheap. I figure they're less subject to wear, since they're not powered parts.
I will say that this Omniglide deal is a little more special, because it is newer and has thus gone on sale less. I think it has been as low as $250 before, but maybe not with all these parts. Anyway, thanks for your post.
I'm curious to see how well the new hair detangling head works on the v8. The upkeep that my Dyson attachments have required has usually been due to hair. It hasn't been too bad though, but if they could solve that issue, so much the better.

His review of this plainly spells it out as a hard floor vacuum: https://youtu.be/QsYegBJLb5U
On the Dyson website, you can find the OmniGlide under Shop -> Vacuums -> Hardwood Floor Vacuums. The brushes are mechanically doing most of the work, so the lower suction power is fine - the brushes do a great job of feeding dust & debris in.
If you don't have primarily hard floors, look into other models, none of the various brands & models of cordless vacuums should be expected to do a poor job on hard surfaces, but if you need a multipurpose Jack of all trades this isn't for you. Luckily for mixed surfaces you have tons of options, I just don't expect the weight & ergonomic experience of the others to be on par with the comfort & ease of this one.
