Dyson V7 Animal Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Purple, Medium

Product Information

Dyson’s V-series cleaners get a middle sibling in the form of the V7, tested here in its pet-hair-busting Animal guise. A whole lot quieter than the V6 and slightly more svelte than the V8, it has most of the flagship’s main features. On normal power mode, the V7’s run-time is claimed to be around 30 minutes with the powered head attached, some 5 minutes longer than the V8. The trade-off is slightly lower suction power of 21AW (airwatts) compared to the V8’s 28AW in this mode. Punch both models up to Max power and they’ll run for about 6 minutes, the V7 delivering 100AW while the V8 has 15% more at 115AW. The old V6 also delivers 100AW on Max power for around 6 minutes, but its higher 28AW on normal power means it’s good for only 20 minutes run-time. Got all that? No, me neither – so here’s a comparison table. Heading around the house with the Direct Drive floorhead attached, we cleaned for a near textbook 30mins 30secs on average from a single charge on normal power. Several test sessions on various floor surfaces resulted in very little variation – from hard floors (31 minutes) to carpet pile so deep that you could loose a tribe of pigmies in it (29.5 minutes). Wow, where do I start.. I cannot believe the high quality service and product. I can't stop hoovering! I love this hoover. The power suction is second to none, even on the eco setting. I have a busy family and 3 hairy cats, and it's perfect. It's so amazing like I said I can't stop hoovering and my house has never been so clean and tidy."

All Dyson cordless vacuums have powerful, lightweight digital motors which generate powerful suction across all floor types. Suction is measured in Air Watts with the machine at maximum power mode."

Additional accessories available to be bought separately On paper, at least, the new Dyson V7 cordless cleaners sit between the original V6 and the flagship V8 models. The V7 range draws much of its design from the newer V8 but is lighter, quieter and runs for longer in normal power mode. The key change is its smaller, lighter battery, and a jiggling of the suction power versus run-time ratio. DLSᵀᴹ technology inside the Digital Motorbarᵀᴹ cleaner head monitors brush bar reistance 360 times a second, intelligently adapting power across carpets and hard floors. Find out how cordless vacuums measure up to traditional vacuum cleaners. We explain the pros and cons of cord-free cleaning.

All Dyson cordless vacuums have long lasting energy-dense batteries to clean here, there and everywhere around your home. Maximum run time is achieved in eco mode on hard floors. For comparison, we measured the V8 at 75dB on Max power. As decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, that 10dB difference is huge.

That’s particularly important if you’re using the more powerful of the V7’s two modes. Although the standard mode will last you 30 minutes, the V7 will last a mere six minutes if allowed to run continuously in “Max”. The cyclone action tends to compress pet hair into a more compact size, allowing you to get more fluff in the bin. Plus, you can push the bin to its fill limit thanks to the pull-out core when emptying. While most over-filled bagless bins will require you to poke about to pull out compressed furballs, the V7’s emptying system always dumps its contents cleanly – even if you run it until the bin is fit to burst. Dyson’s fully-sealed filtration traps microscopic particles and allergens – and expels cleaner air.All Dyson cordless vacuums are ergonomically designed to easily clean up high, down low and all around your home. I finally traded up from V7 (which didn’t need replacing and still going strong so I gave to my mother) as I had different needs as I now have disabilities. The lightness of it is great . The bin I find so much easier to empty as the bin no longer comes off with the open hatch :-)." Upgraded from a v10 to a v15. Glad I did! You won’t be disappointed. Long battery life, great suction, extra features like the light etc. all make this a great cordless vac".
