I've had my V6 Slim for 5 years now and it's still going strong! Plus it's very easy to take all the way apart and wash the bin/cyclone head. I love it!

Long term review/thoughts here. Purchased in December 2017 for $298. In that time it has been used in two properties - both around 1400sqft. Seen daily use for the duration of my ownership. Very little maintenance. 1) The motor works fine. Suction is solid on carpet and hardwood. The battery life on a full charge is around 30 minutes. If you have a larger property than mine do no expect to vacuum the whole place on a single charge. I typically vacuum the basement and ground floor before it dies on me. 2) The battery itself has a lifespan of about 2 years. I replaced it once already, and I'm debating replacing it again (it's not holding a charge well atm). As an fyi these OEM batteries are $95 from Dyson - if you want to play Russian roulette with the Chinese knockoffs on Amazon, have at it though (sets tou back $30-50). Unless you vacuum once a week or less you're not getting much more life out of them. 3) overall build quality seems solid. Reddit seems to bash Dyson's plastic material, but I have dropped the shit outta this thing and its held up. This is not a buy-it-for-life machine but its served me well. 4) brush roller will need to be replaced. I just replaced the entire motorhead ($50'ish direct from Dyson). The new motorhead includes (obviously) the brush, but it comes with new felt strips, new wheels, and the rollers that are on the main shaft. A 3rd party brush replacement can be around $30 so I figured id just replace the motorhead. 4) For transparency I am moving to a canister vacuum (probably a Miele). Cordless vacuums require new batteries which will never be cheap, plus I want to move toward a buy-it-once brand (Dyson is not unfortunately). Also I need to be able to vacuum my entire home on one go, so theres that.

Holy cow. What an excellent review! Thank you!

Great channel. Thank you very much for all your work and for the presenting style.

You do the best vacuum reviews. We had this V7 MH but had to return it after a few weeks due to “pulsing” issues. Pulling the trigger resulted in a motor that pulsed on and off and didn’t remain on. Cleaned and dried the filter thoroughly multiple times but the issue remained. Thanks for the videos

It’s great! Beat up cosmetically for sure. The battery may not last as long as it did but it’s great for small jobs still. I have since passed it to my mom and last month purchased a refurbished v11 animal +. When it arrived, I noticed the battery was floating in and out of the handle, causing the unit to not cut on and/or stay on even when the trigger was released. I called dyson and they had a new motor head sent out to me within a week free of charge as they still come with a warranty. It’s the best vacuum I have ever owned, hands down. Highly recommend going refurb!

I have a V7 and a V11. I think of my V11 as my more formal vacuum for cleaning, and the V7 as my portable vacuum because it is just so much lighter for quick spot cleans.

Oh can’t wait to get my Dyson V8 even tho I have an upright one but it’s heavy when I vacuum the stairs so the Dyson cordless one will make my life more easy

I've had a Dyson DC59 for over 3 years now (basically the predecessor to the V6 and V7 with the same basic chassis), and I have to agree with this review. On carpet it's super effective even on low power, but on my hard kitchen floor it's almost useless - I tend to just stick one of the brush attachments to the end of the hose instead. The lack of HEPA is annoying too, as it can produce bad smells that better filters would normally trap. For how relatively little I paid for it though, it's served me so well, and I've never felt I'm missing anything by not having a proper corded vacuum. Will certainly be sticking to Dyson for now!

This is the vacuum we have at work for quick cleanups as needed before the cleaning crew is there. One thing that really surprised me is just how quite it is compared to my V6 animal model.. Oh and never use this vacuum to clean up printer toner. Toner particles are so fine that they finds there way through the filtration straight out of the exhaust vents in the back.

I’ve been waiting for this review, thank you soooo much for a great review and answering all the questions i had. I’ve had this vacuum for about a year and I Like it but I feel as Though the filtration could be better and would like to upgrade to a v10 or v11 absolute.😁

I just replaced my old V6 with V7 this month and I think it is worth if you have V6 previously like me :) It is much more quiet, easier to empty and works longer. Also, it's bin is bigger and brushbar has more power and no tangle itself as easy with longer hairs as old one. Can be pushed on area rug with no effort. Motor does not heat itself as the old one. I prefer V7 over V6 ;)

I used to work at an oreck store and another that sold Miele. Love your channel.

Thank you, this was informative but disappointing on the hair test, which is our main problem.

very nice and simple review

Very helpful thank you.

I own a Dyson V7 animal for 12 months now. Very impressed by it’s performance. It’s a ‘life saver’ on my fabric couch, which was a bit of a miss-buy, cause it is a hair magnet on my dogs and cat (hence the purchase of the V7 animal in the first place, recommended by a friend). The V7 animal comes with a mini-turbo brush, which on high speed cleans the couch perfectly. I use some seperate carpets on my couch where the dogs can sleep on, which can be cleaned on the low setting. I have 1 perticular door mat which is always filled with hair and other filth, which our normal vacuum cleaner couldn’t handle. When I use the V7, with the floor turbo-brush on high speed, it cleans very good: as if it is a new door mat all together. The battery isn’t sufficient to clean the whole house at once. I always swipe the hard floors, so I can pick up the dust, hairs etc, with the V7. Currently I am saving up to buy the V11 absolute. A big pro for me, is the fact that it is cordless. I always hated vacuuming because of the cord which is a drag to work with.

Oh, and a bit of a con: within the year the brush in the mini-turbo brush is completely worn out. But Dyson has great service. I sended them an e-mail requesting a new brush. They sended me a new turbo brush all together (wonder why they don’t just send the brush-thing itself), without cost or shipping fee.

Since my mom is basically going to be using this one-handed the canister needs to be easy to open it needs to be relatively white light weight or easy to use one-handed so that she doesn’t get tired so easy movability or steerability I’m not sure if steerability is a word but I also have to be able to afford it so 2 to 300 and under what do you recommend?

V7 trigger is same as animal apart from extensions?

Got a v7 fluffy with a HEPA on sale for $200. No carpets in my house so it’s perfect.

I have the Dyson V7 cordless and love it but HATE cleaning the hair off the brush roll AND it's a major deal to take the roller out of the cleaning head...YUCK. But recently saw the Shark Cordless Pet Pro with sealed allergen system and HEPA filter with the SELF-CLEANING BRUSHROLL. While the Dyson has decent suction and I've been a Dyson owner for a very long time - a Dyson V7 cordless AND Dyson multifloor Upright (had the animal but found it too heavy to push) both great suction but have now ditched for the Shark Cordless Pet Pro AND Shark Rotator Lift-Away both with SELF-CLEANING DIRT EDGE BRUSHROLL. I own a cordless for kitchen, bath, laundry rooms with tile/LVP flooring and patio/deck rugs and the upright for deep cleaning carpets each month. The cordless comes in handy for a quick pick up before guests on both carpet and bare floors. But the game changer for me is the SELF-CLEANING BRUSH ROLL...with two English Springer Spaniels, this brush roll is a real game changer for me. Also I find the Shark Rotator Lift-Away superior to the Dyson MultiFloor because I can adjust the suction at the cleaning head making the Rotator a much easier vacuum to push/pull around thicker bedroom carpets. Also it maneuvers MUCH easier.

Amazing for anyone on a budget. Costs about £100 refurb/used with all tools

Please ask Roborock to send you new H6. Can’t wait for the review.

The v7 Absolute is 249 USD on Dyson's website now, far cheaper than the motorhead's pricing on Amazon. FYI. What do you think of the value of the v7 Absolute at 249 USD with an additional deep cleaning kit included for free? Thanks

In Australia the v7 Motorhead has a hepa!

How do you feel about the v7 fluffy?

I am very surprised that this v7 got a 100% score on the deep clean test compared to the v8. The v8 has more suction in max than the v7. It goes go to show that suction is not the way to deep clean. As most people seem to think.

Mines broken after about 2 and a half years - kept very well, I've never let hair collect etc. The motorhead stopped spinning. Took a plastic covering off of the motorhead floor attachment to find two very skinny wires, one red, one black, have split right open as the sit and go down into the bend. Now if two very tiny wires are bent back and forth from general use.. over time they're going to split 😑 really disappointed with it. It does push larger crumbs around hard floors too. A new motorhead attachment is around £80, very expensive considering its a design floor. My mum has the V8 and has had the same issue once with hers, and also had to have the battery replaced twice. Really unacceptable for a top end brand like dyson, and they're not being helpful. So looks like I will have to spend another £250-350 on another hoover, not dyson though.

I got a V7 Motor Head Vac which did not work right out of the box. After extensive back and fort with the company I opted to take it to a Vacuum repair shop and pay for it myself. The brush did not work at all and come to find out it had a jam in it right out the box. The warranty is a piece of toilet paper as far as I'm concerned. But I'm still not happy with the performance. I have more air coming out of the MotorHead in my face than suction on the vacuum. The suction is very very poor, but if you get a fresh hairdo, it's gone because the air coming out off the handle part is just so strong. It seems like something is wrong with that model. It should have a lot better suction and blowing less air in your face. I also have a Multi Floor Ball II which is a little over 2 years old and it's back in the shop again for the 3rd time. 5 year warranty, but it's not worth to deal with Dyson. I'll pay for it myself again. They just want to sell, but not own the warranty.

Is the V8 still actively marketed? I was on the Canadian Dyson site and they still advise V7s but make no mention of V8s.

I do not agree with your statements on Dyson being more reliable than most vacuum brands. While I respect that their halo products are indeed the ultimate, they [and any vacuum that uses a cyclone filtration system with complex ducting before the actual filter] are prone to suction loss due to blockage and smells after a year or so of use. Dyson are not a brand to by if you want the last vacuum you will ever need, they are for people who will use it occasionally or people who like to buy the latest and greatest every few years. Still enjoy your vids, just saying as someone who fixes these vacuums a lot.
