Could you talk a bit about what makes the v15 $200+ better than the V8 refurb? Dyson models confuse me. Thanks!

Main difference from what I've read on the v15 vs v8 is suction is much better and battery lasts longer with a smarter auto mode. It has particle detection, automatically adjusting the suction for the type and amount of particles it's encountering. I just ordered one so I can't speak to it personally though. Also the batteries can be easily swapped on the v15 for a spare (same with v11) if you run out of juice, where as i don't think the v8 can? The v15 has a soft head with a green laser light that illuminates the floor so you can see the particles easily which people have commented as being a nice favorable attribute. There are some other attachments that I believe come with the v15 that the v8 doesn't have, like the hair screw tool which is helpful for fabric with longer hair/fur. Check out rtings.com for way more in depth info on comparisons.

Thanks. Ebay banned my account for unknown reasons. Good riddance.

Worth noting that the warranty is 6 months if purchasing on Dyson's site vs 2 years (via Allstate) when purchased from eBay.

Great vacuum, except the fact everyone's Motorhead is breaking(screws get stripped) and they have been out of stock for months. Oh and it costs $150ish for a new Motorhead.
Just a heads up

Do the refurbs come with new batteries? How is the overall condition purchasing from eBay?

I bought a v8 refurb from ebay it lasted a long time. i eventually replaced the battery with an after market one from amazon that was bigger. However the v11 I have now is substantially better, especially if you're dealing with hair.

I have both, V15 is miles better at sucking performance - but, if you've never had either, or any Dyson cordless, the V8 is great anyway.

Would Costco's deal be better? Brand new, longer warranty and easy returns for $100-something more? I believe it's only $540 in store.

Had this for about a month.

8 minute run-time on highest setting.

What a joke!!

Returned it and bought a Shark for $80 that completely obliterated it.

Dyson is overpriced.

Shark is the superior vacuum at 80% lower price.

Unless you only vacuum once a month, you probably don't need to run this on the highest setting. I get 30 minutes on the auto and 60 minutes on the eco mode.

I dont have a shark, so I can't compare, but mine replaced a ryobi hp that was shite. The fluffy head is amazing for hard floors, especially if you have pets.

Thank you @Bearclawjohnson, I had been waiting for a good deal on this and missed out the prior eBay coupon code discount. This comes very similar to that previous price and in addition good to have Square Trade warranty as well.

I've had numerous Dysons over the years and this is the best of them - I use the auto setting and it's great. Never an issue with the battery.
