Just purchased one of these and used it for the first time. Pretty awesome product. Battery lasted as long as it took to fully clean a 2 bedroom apartment (mostly carpet). The amount of dirt it picked up was surprising. Didn't realize my cat shed as much as she did. Time will tell how it holds up over the long term. First impressions are very good.
This vacuum is amazing I got one from best buy on sale for 220$ and just receive it today. My house is 2.000 square feet mostly carpet and it works great and the battery even doesn’t die on me. It is going to make my life much easier with 2 toddlers. It is the best thing I have ever bough in my whole life! ❤️❤️
I'm thinking about getting this vacuum. I'm glad you're not having trouble with it dying because of the battery. I've read so many reviews that say it doesn't last long enough. But I've read as many good reviews too. So I guess I won't know till I try it.
I want to design a kit for Dyson to help the v6 v7 v8 runs long enough for cleaning. when the battery in the machine is used up, replace it by the spare one, and charge the used-up battery in a separate charging dock.
I have 850 sq ft Studio with a high quality industrial carpet Kitchen & Bathroom are wood fl I purchase the V7 couple months ago all I can say its an amazing vacuum it sucs so well actually don't need to run on high. The battery last around 34 min (Clocket 5 times) another interesting thing the first 6 vac's it pick-up not only fur dust but solid type like powder (Dust Mites) It's a pleasure to use also won't leave any dust + Better sleep no sinus issues !
I got my V7 Animal from Costco here in Canada. Only thing I don’t like is emptying. I almost have to wear a mask as dust seems to get everywhere! I have to wrap a plastic shopping bag tightly around the bin before it drops open. Even then , dust escapes so I do this emptying outside the house or in my garage. Love the big retro toaster you got there!
Good to hear your experiences with the V7! I do find emptying a little dusty, but I always empty outside. I guess it’s the nature of the beast! I do like my toaster, but I think you are the first person ever to compliment me on it! Cheers :D
People are interested in the V7 Animal reviews because they probably have an animal. It would have been nice to actually see how it coped with things like dog hair on carpets.
V8 425W 40min w/nonmotor, 25 min w/motor both at 22AW, 7Min max 115AW; V7 350w 30min w/nonmotor, 20min w/motor both at 21AW, 6min max 100AW: V6 same as V7 except in normal instead of 21AW it is 28AW with 30min due to more AW in normal.
V7 increases time(30min) by lowering suck power to 21AW vrs 28AW(V6,V8), Max PWR time is same for V6 and V7 (6minutes) with 100AW, V8 (115AW maxpwr 6min, normpwr 25min28AW), so the upgrades are quieter,bin, battery(V8onlynominal), max button, mostly cosmetic upgrades.
I purchased this on QVC, and it arrived today, so, I was looking for reviews tonight while it is charging. The decision to purchase mine was based on the purchase 10 months ago of my Dyson Model # DC50 Ball Compact, and I have been very impressed with how it cleans like no other vacuum that I have owned. This V7 Animal, I feel will be convenient for bedrooms for reaching smaller areas. I had been debating for a long time about maybe purchasing the V8 with more battery run time, but I believe this V7 Animal will provide enough time and the new way in this V7 of how the canister opens is very nice. Thank you for the video!!!
CHRISTINA WHITE If you think the Dyson DC50 cleans unlike any other vacuum cleaner then you obviously have never tried a quality machine like a SEBO Felix before. Not only do they clean better than a Dyson but are much better quality. Made in Germany and not Malaysia.
Great video! I was going to buy the V6 because it was cheaper and I thought it was a good deal. After watching your video I made my decision and bought the V7 Motorhead. I bought it off the dyson website and got a black Friday deal, in the end it only cost me 50 more bucks then the v6 and I also got 3 free extra attachments with the black Friday deal! Thanks for educating us on this fantastic machine, we are really in the future and this vacuum proves it! I use it for my house as well as my cars and once you go dyson you never go back lol. Thanks again mate!
mcdjque No worries! I’m glad the video was of some use. The V7 is leagues ahead of the V6 in my opinion and not too far behind the v8. A very good buy for the money. Sounds like you got a great deal on yours too ;)
Nice review but I would of liked a bit more info and demonstration. I have thick pile carpet it is ideal? Also is it handy when cleaning a car especially under the seats etc
Not that good for the car unless you have the flexible hose. It's good on the thicker carpet pile though. Plus, ours is still going strong. It's years old now. Quite impressive.
Is emptying the bin puller meant to be stiff with a click click sound as you pull the red bin puller. As mine is just pull the red bin puller and it opens up. I also have a dyson v7 animal. I’m thinking is mine faulty?
I want to design a kit for Dyson to help the v6 v7 v8 runs long enough for cleaning. when the battery in the machine is used up, replace it by the spare one, and recharge the used-up battery in a separate charging dock. What do you think?
Dyson are the Apple of vacuum world.. they don't want you to be able to replace the battery easily, they want you to buy a new vacuum when the battery life starts to deteriorate.
Absolutely amazing machine, amazing on my cars and the dirt it removes is amazing, tools are amazing too, you don't even need the super max mode as the normal mode is super
Pat Montreal I've not found the need to use max mode as normal mode is more than good enough. If you do need max mode, it's not for more than 30 seconds. If max mode doesn't remove stubborn dirt within 30 secs, then it's not a vacuum cleaner you need ;)
JB CTR So I think the point is that the cordless machines are not yet ready to replace the mains powered machine like Dyson claims. Continuous use in the low mode will allow a build up in the very base of the carpet as low mode is not powerful enough to remove the deeply embedded grit.
I very much agree (now in 2018). I think the point everyone avoids is that these are not meant to be the primary vacuum in a household, but rather a secondary light one for light everyday jobs..which I would be perfectly ok with if they weren't so expensive!
Its staggering really. The battery is terrible honestly. The best portable vacuum has the worse battery life. I want to use it to detail cars. I guess ill have to either not finish the job or...sweep then vacuum but then I may as well buy another vacuum and do the same thing...
The battery should be at least an hour *at least*. I'm pretty sure if you have coped so far with having a v6, you'll be fine after, unless you pony up the dollar for the v11 that actually has what you'd expect in this category in regards to battery performance, etc. only at a ridiculous "dyson prices"- if you can afford to waste money, that is. If you're concerned about getting the most out of money, then send a message to these companies and stop buying underpowered crap at substantial enough price. Agonisong over the difference between two shoddy products (v6 and v8) at 250 as of writing this is as ridiculous as what a 600+ proposition is for the V11 *minimum*.
Sweets Stuff Not the same thing. The V7 unit is the same (albeit in a different colour) but the accessories are different - mainly the brush bar. There is a link to the v7 animal on amazon in the description of the video if you are UK based. John Lewis also have them in stock but at nearly twice the price at the moment.
Sweets Stuff v7 has few extra tools and its good for homes with pets too otherwise its same as the motorhead apart from the colour and few extra tools has the same motor and power
TheTCOLL You need to read things properly. Dyson are talking about motor head power and not AW. The V8 has a 50W motor head meaning 150% more power than the Dyson V6’s 20W motor head. The V7 has a 35W motor head meaning 75% more power the V6 equivalent.
Ofir Golan Thanks! I am aware of the audio levels... still a work in progress! My later videos are much better (although I’m still not perfectly happy) :)
MachoMaximilianALTYT Prices in the video were correct at time of recording. I’ve included a link to amazon in the description which includes their latest pricing. I think they are coming out slightly cheaper than curry’s at the moment :)

Have you got any updates a year later I’m considering maybe buying
any updates after 2 years?

I have two cats, that's why I'm looking at this vacuum yet NONE of the reviews are from pet owners!!! What the actual hell????
i have it and its really great at removing cathair or kitty litter on the ground.
@@haliemonroe2130 it's cause people buy the animal version even when they don't have any because it comes with extra add-ons
Yeah it's kind of annoying
I am vacuuming for a Newfoundland and A boxer One week in am very impressed
V8 425W 40min w/nonmotor, 25 min w/motor both at 22AW, 7Min max 115AW; V7 350w 30min w/nonmotor, 20min w/motor both at 21AW, 6min max 100AW: V6 same as V7 except in normal instead of 21AW it is 28AW with 30min due to more AW in normal.

You are wrong. This version of V7 animal does not have the HEPA filter. Only V7 animal plus has it is indicated by its purple color and it is bigger.

Are u satasfied with this vacum?

Not that good for the car unless you have the flexible hose. It's good on the thicker carpet pile though. Plus, ours is still going strong. It's years old now. Quite impressive.
@@JBCTR is it good on wooden floors ?
Just bought one today! Thank you for your review!
So glad you just opened it and got on with it thank you

Couldn't agree more. I used it on some coir matting and it was pretty effective. Otherwise, I've not had to use it :)
I just ordered this - my first Dyson sooooo excited 🤪
So how is it?!
I've been looking for hours for someone to tell me if I should buy the V8 over the V7 ! Thank you for giving me an answer lol
Shaye Holcombe they both the same not any diff to be honest
surtigal the v8 is more powerful
I love my v7 died on me once In the a whole year of use. And it's because I didn't charge it
Thank you... Very helpful... Desperate to buy one to launch a war against mites!!!
Enjoyed watching your thorough review before buying Dyson v10 cyclone ..
it only last 6 minutes on high and then it take 3.5 hrs to recharge... you find this good ? in 2017 ? seriously ? :(
Pat Montreal I've not found the need to use max mode as normal mode is more than good enough. If you do need max mode, it's not for more than 30 seconds. If max mode doesn't remove stubborn dirt within 30 secs, then it's not a vacuum cleaner you need ;)

Does that back filter really twist off? I think I have that version and I can’t twist off that back cap.
Its staggering really. The battery is terrible honestly. The best portable vacuum has the worse battery life. I want to use it to detail cars. I guess ill have to either not finish the job or...sweep then vacuum but then I may as well buy another vacuum and do the same thing...
This was so helpful, thank you!!
Zoe Scott Thanks Zoe! Glad it was of some use :)
If you run it on the lower setting you should get over 30 minutes
Good review, thanks!
Just got one thanks for the review
nice kitchen - great video, thanks
Thanks!

Such a good review that we bought one!
Really nice review 👍🏻
I’m getting mine on saturday
There is no on and off button so you had to use a tape! Sad.
Just bought 1 👍 I have a dog I’ll post how it goes .
So I’ve had it a week , and I gotta say it’s awesome ! Really light and easy to use , simple to empty . Cleans my carpets like new 👍
Thank you, that’s all I wanted to know, but this video didn’t help with that! Thank you again!
Why is my girlfriend so excited about this thing? She sent me this emoji like it was the funniest thing ever 👩🏼🦯
Thanks!
My V7 has a hepa filter.. yours doesn’t?
Does this have the same amount of power as the V6? Its advertised as 150% more but then the AW dont seem to be different
TheTCOLL v8 is much more powerful v7 has same power as v6
Doesn't make a lot of sense. Dyson advertises the V7 as having 75% more than the V6.
TheTCOLL You need to read things properly. Dyson are talking about motor head power and not AW. The V8 has a 50W motor head meaning 150% more power than the Dyson V6’s 20W motor head. The V7 has a 35W motor head meaning 75% more power the V6 equivalent.
terrible trigger discipline at 1:57
keep your finger at the side until you're ready to shoot
Speaking of good buy this is goodbye and thanks for the information it was very helpfull
Stop calling it a Hoover when you mean vacuum.
Nice review.
Your audio is rubbish and the some you put it is about 400% louder.
Would be great if you can adjust the volumes on the video next time.
Ofir Golan Thanks! I am aware of the audio levels... still a work in progress! My later videos are much better (although I’m still not perfectly happy) :)
buy him some better equipment. Then you won't have to complain
Nice Kitchen
James Macfarlane Thanks! Fitted myself 😂
No but seriously, we’ve just purchased a V7 Animal based on your review, nice work.
Super exciting
I will run to Currys pc world and then get the v7 animal for £250
MachoMaximilianALTYT Prices in the video were correct at time of recording. I’ve included a link to amazon in the description which includes their latest pricing. I think they are coming out slightly cheaper than curry’s at the moment :)
Poor sound cannot understand what he is talking.
