Dyson V8 Animal+ – Plus.Parts® Maintenance Set

The Dyson V8 Animal+ is a pet-specialist configuration of the V8 range, delivering 115 AW suction with up to 40 minutes of runtime. The Animal+ designation indicates additional pet-focused accessories over the standard Animal configuration. In active multi-pet households, hair reaches the bearing ends of the direct-drive brush bar within one to two weeks; Dyson specifies clearing both end caps on this schedule rather than waiting for the brush bar motor’s thermal cutout to activate mid-clean. The pre-motor filter accumulates dander and fine pet hair rapidly and in daily pet-household use should be washed every two to three weeks rather than the standard monthly interval. Both the pre-motor filter and the post-motor HEPA filter must be confirmed fully dry for 24 hours before the machine is reassembled after washing.

This kit is a Plus.Parts® alternative to the original Dyson parts /, supplying 2 matched pairs of washable HEPA filters (4 filters in total), a bin cover and quick-release buttons (small and large). The two filter pairs support a continuous run-and-wash rotation: one pair stays in the machine while the other completes its mandatory 24-hour air-dry after washing. The bin cover replaces the wear-prone lid that cracks under repeated point-and-shoot emptying; the quick-release buttons – supplied in both small and large sizes – restore the snap-fit that holds attachments securely during use. Wash both filters cold-water only, rubbing firmly until the rinse water runs clear, then leave them upright in a well-ventilated area for a full 24 hours before refitting. Never use heat, detergent or a washing machine. Replace both filters after approximately 12 months of normal use, or sooner if repeated washing no longer restores visible whiteness.
