Who Should Buy the Dyson V7?
The Dyson V7 is a stick vacuum with the ability to break down into a handheld vacuum. Powerful suction, a long battery run time, several cleaning tools / accessories, and a quality build all combine to create a cordless vacuum well worth considering.
I would recommend the Dyson V7 if you’re looking for the following features in a stick vacuum:
Want a 2-in-1 vacuum - The Dyson V7 is primarily known for its stick configuration, but it also has the ability to be used as a handheld. With the exception of the floor heads, all of the tools included with the V7 work with both the stick and handheld configurations.
Want a lightweight stick vacuum - When fully assembled as a stick vacuum, the Dyson V7 weighs 5.45 pounds. This is light enough for most people to lift above their head and clean above the ground, in addition to on the ground.
Need a good run time - This Dyson cordless vacuum offers a 30 minute run time when fully charged.
Don’t mind a higher price tag - Although the V7 has a lot to offer, the price point is not low. If budget is not an issue, then the V7 could be a good choice. Otherwise, you may want to explore more inexpensive units, like Dyson’s V6 model.

    If I understood correctly, all main parts are exactly the same. so here are my questions: 1. can I simply add the hepa filter to models that do not have it? 2. how does trigger model compare to rest? Can I just buy accessories I need for it with no worries?

  • @ModernCastle

    @ModernCastle

    4 жыл бұрын

    I don't believe the HEPA filters are interchangeable between the models. While they are similar, I think they are different enough that they cannot simply be swapped. Even so, the HEPA filters are inexpensive to replace if needed. Do you mean the V7 Trigger? That's the standalone handheld version. Yes, you can buy extra accessories if you decide you need them.

    I have the v7 absolute. It doesnt have a hepa filter but I found out that the all types of V7 and V8 models have the exact same pieces that fit into each other. So I went on Ebay and bought a V7 animal main body for 30 bucks and replace my absolute's mainbody with it so I can have a HEPA filter.

    3:57 That's the V10 fluffy head. V7 fluffy head doesn't have the blue non-motorized roller on the back, just wheels. Although, you can use the V10 fluffy head with V7. V10 flufy head also has more power 30W versus 20W on V7.

    Unfortunately, you cannot. The body of the V7 Motorhead and versions that include a HEPA filter are different. In the Motorhead and other non-HEPA versions the end cap is simply a hard plastic. In versions with a HEPA filter it has a twistable end, which is where the HEPA filter goes, itself becoming the end of the vacuum's body.

    is great machine and very lightweight !

Also i think the V8 battery fits V7 (not sure about that so you can do a video for that ) ..as some sellers are selling V8 batteries for V7 vacuum cleaners that claiming it fits both V7 and v8
