Reach further and clean deeper with Dyson engineered accessories to clean all around your home. Select machines may include more or less accessories. Additional accessories available to be bought separately Counts and sizes dust particles - automatically increasing suction power when more dust is identified. I can’t believe how easy vacuuming is now. I can clean the whole flat without using any energy. The suction is very powerful even on the lesser strength and I have a cat who sheds hairs everywhere. Today I’m happily looking forward to cleaning the filters. I tell all my friends, it’s fabulous. 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 difference between the models becomes even more confusing when comparing their suction power, where the V7 is the weakest of the lot. It has 21 Airwatts on powerful mode and 100 Airwatts in max mode. By comparison, the V8 has 22 and 115, while the V6 has 28 and 100, respectively.

There really isn’t any other cordless cleaner on the market that gets even close to the Dyson V7 Animal’s cleaning power, convenience and versatility on carpeted steps. Well, okay, other than the V6 and V8. On normal power mode a few more passes were required to fully deep-clean the carpet, and there were noticeable grains of the heavier carpet-cleaning powder deep in the pile. A good mains cleaner (or the V7 on Max) will do a better job of deep-cleaning deeper-pile carpets, but with a little and often approach, normal power proved fine for daily dust, debris and pet-hair cleaning. On the down side, we suspect that much of that saving comes from removing the rear post-motor filter of the V6 or V8. This is replaced on the V7 with a foam baffle to reduce noise. We can’t say we noticed any more dust in the exiting air than the other models, but the engineering would suggest the V7 isn’t exhausting air quite as clean and dust-free as its siblings. Dyson V7 Animal – How does it clean carpets and hard floors?As with all vacuum cleaners, you’ll need to remove and clean the filters from time to time and these are easy to access by simply pulling the pin on top. The 0.54-litre bin is extremely easy to empty, too: by simply pulling the lever at the top, the bin door flips open and the main body of the V7 motor unit slides up, pushing out dust and debris. This not only makes it easier to empty than the V6 but also makes it a breeze to remove hairs that might have become tangled inside. The main floorhead’s fairly soft-bristled brush make it safe for use on softwood hard floor steps, but you might find the larger dusting tools even easier if you’re cleaning simple dust, dirt and pet hairs. Suction tested to IEC62885-4 CL5.8 and CL5.9, tested at the flexible inlet, loaded to bin full, in Boost mode by independent third-party, SGS-IBR Laboratories US in 2022. We don't stop caring about our machines once they're yours. We offer a guarantee on parts and labour.

A second pass usually secures a clean sweep and we decided for a small oats spill such as that we’d be using the Max mode anyway. Needless to say, ramp up the V7 to Max power, and the suction is fantastic and all particles were cleaned up in a single pass. Intentional cosmetic decoration or modification that may impact a product’s resale, refurbishment, restoration or usability will void the terms of your product’s warranty and the Dyson return policy.

All our cordless vacuums use at least five layers of advanced, whole-machine filtration to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.¹From the first pull of the trigger, the V7 is markedly quieter than the V8, and the pitch tone is much softer and less aggressive than the jet-engine-like V6. We measured the V7 at 61-62dB in normal power mode at arm’s length and a very reasonable 64-66dB on Max power. 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." Polycarbonate hair removal vanes inside the Motorbar™ cleaner head lift tangled strands from the brush bar, sending them straight to the bin. Given that Dyson’s motor is spinning at over 120,000rpm, and the machine delivers mains-like suction power on this higher setting, that’s mighty quiet. Those figures are way, way down on the previous models and make this cleaner very pleasant to use indeed. 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.

The new Dyson Gen5detect is a top-of-the-line vacuum cleaner that has exceeded all of my expectations. With its powerful suction and advanced features, this machine has made cleaning my home a breeze." The V7 Animal also comes with Dyson’s latest Soft Dusting Brush tool. This is an even better shape for dusting shelves and high-up surfaces than the main 2-in-1 tool, and features very soft bristles for delicate cleaning. My keyboard has never looked so crumb-free. Next-day scheduled delivery may not be available during peak times. Instead, you can choose the next available slot. We apologise for any inconvenience. Dyson's researchers study how dust particles transfer between surfaces. Helping to pioneer technology that deep cleans potentially harmful allergens such as pet dander. As with all Dyson handheld cleaners, the power is offered in two stages – normal and Max – and is selected with a slide switch on top. Run-times for the V7 Animal are promised at 30 minutes and 6 minutes respectively.

This assembly is brand new. UK postage is free. Can also send international which will cost extra on postage, please see postage costs. For comparison, we measured the V8 at 75dB on Max power. As decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, that 10dB difference is huge. Of course, the Animal version on test here is only part of a lineup that also features the flagship Total Clean model and the slightly more affordable Motorhead edition.

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. So no surprise then that the V7 is properly brilliant on stairs. It handles well, cleans superbly and is quiet while doing so. We can do a large flight of awkwardly shaped carpeted steps on Max power with ease in the allotted 6 minutes if we need more serious cleaning gumption too. 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." Dyson vacuums are engineered to capture and contain household dirt and pet hair – even the microscopic pet dander you can't see.READ NEXT: Dyson V8 Absolute review: Still the best cordless vacuum? Dyson V7 Animal review: Price and competition Dyson’s range of vacuum cleaners can be very confusing to a layman. There are both corded and cordless models with both categories inundated with new products every year. The V7 Animal isn’t new. Released in 2017, a year after the V8 and two years after the V6, it aims to bridge the gap between portability and performance. Is this just a filler for the British-born company or is there still a market for it in 2020? 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.
