Dyson V7 Animal Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Purple, Medium

Product Information

This vacuum cleaner not only looks after your floors, but is light enough to hold overhead to get cobwebs off the ceiling. Thankfully, its lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver, and its bagless design incurs virtually no recurring costs. All Dyson cordless vacuums have fully sealed filtration systems to trap microscopic particles and allergens - expelling cleaner air. It might be the most affordable Dyson handstick, but it still carries a bit of the 'Dyson premium' compared to other options on the market. Worse still, it takes nearly three hours to charge, and it doesn't have any indicator lights to let you know when your battery starts running low.

It activates the vacuum when you pull it and turns it off the instant you let go so you have to keep it depressed as you clean. The Samsung has a larger dustbin, charges much faster while lasting longer on a single charge, and performs better on bare floors and high-pile carpet. If, at any time, you’re switching on the max setting, you’re not going to get more than 10 minutes of runtime with it on. If you'd like to see an in-depth look at the reasoning and methodology behind this change, you can see our full changelog here.While she's happiest with a camera in her hand, she's also an avid reader and has become a passionate proponent of ereaders, having appeared on Singaporean radio to talk about the convenience of these underrated devices. Released in 2017, a year after the V8 and two years after the V6, it aims to bridge the gap between portability and performance. That said, the design of its floorhead compensates for that in some ways and enables it to draw out debris in cracks and crevices.

Batteries being sold cheaper elsewhere on the internet may not have undergone the appropriate rigorous safety tests and are often sold with fake warranties. The Samsung has fewer maintenance requirements, features a larger dustbin, lasts longer on a single charge, charges faster, exerts a stronger suction force at its floorhead, and does a better job of clearing away debris on bare floors and high-pile carpet, not to mention cracks and crevices. The V12 has a far more powerful suction motor and delivers correspondingly stronger performance on bare floors and high-pile carpet. The vacuum's parts clip together, and there's a button you can use to quickly unclip them when you want to reconfigure it. The V15 features an onboard tool storage rack, has a slightly larger dirt compartment that doesn't need emptying as often, has a longer battery life, and delivers superior performance on bare floors and low and high-pile carpet thanks to a motor that provides almost twice as much power.This vacuum has poor suction performance at its floorhead, so it may have some trouble pulling debris embedded deeply within shag carpeting. During our testing period, the V7 switched off once at the 29-minute mark while, during another cleaning session, it gave out at the 32-minute mark. Also on the main unit is the slider to switch suction modes – while it’s located right in front of the handheld unit, you will need your other hand to swap modes if you’re doing so in the middle of a clean.
