Dyson V7 vs V8 - Which should you buy?
Ғылым және технология
In this video we compare the Dyson V7 to the Dyson V8 and highlight each model and the differences.
See the V7 Motorhead on Amazon: amzn.to/2FuRjvQ
See the V8 Absolute on Amazon: amzn.to/2ENSMgl
Read our written review of the V7 vs V8: vacuum-cleaner-advisor.com/Dy...
We start by discussing the different models and what comes with each package - Dyson V8 Absolute, Dyson V8 Animal, Dyson V7 Absolute, Dyson V7 Animal, and Dyson V7 Motorhead. In addition, we discuss the batteries, and provide tables of run times - both official and tested.
We look into the level of filtration provided by the V7 and the V8 and highlight which units have HEPA filters. We look into the system for emptying the dust canisters and compare them to that provided with the V6. In addition, we use a digital noise level meter and compare the decibels generated by each vacuum.
Both the V7 and V8 are then run through a detailed series of cleaning tests on both carpet and bare floors - the results are provided in a table and discussed. We highlight the different weights of each model (V7 and V8) and also the approximate costs of each vacuum. Finally we sum all this up in a final short discussion.
I would also like to point out that I make every effort to be unbiased in my videos. If there is something about a product I do not like - I will let you know!

I just can't understand why anyone would give any of your videos a thumbs down. Your extremely thorough, honest and have a calm soothing voice. I'm sure you have helped many people make the right decision on what vacuum to buy. Keep the reviews coming I really enjoy them. Thanks

Finally someone explaining with clarity exactly what each model does! This absolutely helped us decide, thanks Vacuum Advisor :)
You make such informative, unbiased, independent reviews - they're fantastic :)
I could not have imagined how helpful this would be! Thank you!
Just a man and a couple of vacuumes, Love it. May I say sir your carpet is the perfect color/shade for cleaning demonstrations 👌
Thank you for being one of the most thorough reviewers for residential vacuum cleaners. The other year, bought a subscription to Consumer Reports hoping they would assist selecting a model for purchase. Nothing as thorough as your channel. Eventually googled your website and this channel in a desperate search for accurate information. Thank you again!

Thank you for that great review. You’ve helped me decide to purchase the v7 absolute.
EXCELLENT review - A+!! I've watched several of your videos, and they're all uniformly excellent. I'm deciding between a Dyson V7 or V8, and you told me literally everything I need to know. This is especially valuable to the Dyson uninitiated like me, to whom at first blush the various "V's" and "Motorhead/Animal/Absolute" tags are pretty murky. I get so tired of KZread reviews that provide 5 minutes of info jam packed into 15 minutes. You hit the perfect combination of complete and succinct. You're providing a terrific service, sir. Cheers!

markchapel which did you choose? Are you happy with your selection? Thanks!
An extremely insightful and concise review. I was looking all over for resources to make a decision between the v7 or v8 and you laid all the facts out beautifully.
After watching your videos I picked up the V10. It’s great. I still enjoy your videos even though I am happy with what I’ve got
That is the best review i have ever seen about the vacuum cleaners. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your thourough reviews, they are very high quality!
Great review, just what I was looking for.
What a great video. Really answered my questions better than any other source really. I like your methodology (triple testing and variable switching). You have reassured me that the v7 is great for me!
I want my son to be able to analysis his school work like this. Awesome worK! Love it!
Most Amazing review. We love the intricate details
Thanks a lot for this detailed video. It really helped me when I decide which version to buy.

How do you like it after a year?
Pretty clear, so much didactic, it happens that today I decided to buy one and this has really helped me. I am writing from México City
You should do a 2018 Black Friday best picks buying guide or something like that. Your reviews make me want to buy vacuums.
Now glad I bought the V7, thanks for your analysis.
amazing video....so instructive and well done. thank you
You remind me of a math teacher, Idk why! Love the review regardless, really helped me making a decision.
I have the V7 Motorhead and I'm impressed.
Great review I can confirm this … I’m a house cleaner my client has the v7 and I myself for my own home has the v8 … I immediately noticed that my clients Motörhead picks up more .. I couldn’t understand because I had the newer model.. I realized there’s a difference in the head sizes of the vacs .. so I ordered a v7 roller head .. and low and behold that’s the difference
So informative and thorough!
Such a good detailed review.. thank you
Your reviews are so honest, through and professionally done that I don’t need to spend hours trawling through videos that don’t come anywhere as close to yours. I’m thinking of getting the V7 and purchasing a compatible soft roller with it. My only concern is about battery life. I’ve seen bad reviews. That’s the only thing holding me back now. God bless you. Keep them videos coming.
This is such a great review! thank you.

Just got my V7, its fantastic, thank you! Only have a small 1 bedroom flat, mostly carpet with only a little hardfloor in kitchen so I went for the Animal version. I have a cat too so it should be enough to pick up bits of cat litter and food too. Great video!
super helpful and clear! thank you !!!

Hello there.. I just want to thank you so much for your videos.. I am shopping for a Dyson.. and the V7 or V8 is in my price range.. I found this video very informative.. Your voice is so soothing and calm.. I still havent decided hahah but I am definitely close to a deciscion because of you.. thanks so much jody
This ASMR is so good!
Thank you ! I got to know difference very well
Wish I had watched this review first. I just bought a Dyson V8 Animal to replace my Dyson V7 Motorhead that I bought a few years ago. My husband thought I was nuts...but right away I noticed that the suction was not as good ...particularly on my throw rugs. I will be returning it and replacing it with another V7. Thanks for the video..at least I know I'm not crazy.

How’s the V7? Why did you replace the old one? Thinking of grabbing one on sale for Black Friday. Thanks!
I just bought the V7 for my wife for Christmas BEFORE I saw this video and your review confirmed I made the right choice. Dyson is offering the V7 absolute now for a great price. Mine came out at $200 including tax PLUS they offered two choices for an additional attachment package for free. Great job on the review by the way!

Excellent review well done

Hi. I love your in-depth and detailed reviews. Vould you please review sharkflex hv392c corded vacuum. I'm especially interested how sealed it is. Thank you.
the review. just perfect.
What a great video.Thank you so much.
Great video! Came out at a perfect time. To see the v7 is the clear winner because of price.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS .....A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF AWESOME .... I SALUTE YOU, SIR .....BRILLIANT VIDEO ....
Great review
Skip the rest of the reviews on KZread. This is the most concerned straight to the point honest feedback and review I saw. Lead me to purchase the v8 cause it was also $100 off
Not sure if it's changed over the last year but Dyson also has a v7 allergy which is like the motorhead but comes with a build in hepa filter.
i bought the dyson animal v8 today,,,,,,,,cant wait to use it
Thanks...also please tell me wich car to buy next...and wich dishwaster....

It is garbage
I think you will find the V7 carpet head is rated at 35W and the V8 carpet head is rated at 50W, hence why the V8 carpet head will not run on the V7. The Fluffy head is rated at 20W regardless of model, so should be interchangeable between the V7 and V8.
Just got my V7 Animal from Dyson for $200! This review convinced me to go for the V7.

Hey Nick. Glad you liked the review. I hope the V7 works out for you.
These VacuumAdvisor reviews are superb. Seriously, I've never seen better, can't imagine I ever will and I cannot fault them. A couple of additions I would love to see though. 1. An estimate of the relative effort required to push vacuums over carpet. Some vacs permit adjustment of brush height and/or suction power which is effective in reducing effort, but some do not and these often dig in and become very hard to operate on soft carpets. This would be very useful info. 2. I'd very much like to see reviews of the recent Shark cordless duoclean models compared directly with Dyson V7/V8. I can't find info on these and I need to make a purchasing decision soon Many thanks again for a terrifically useful and wonderfully pleasantly presented resource.

Thank you 🙏
This was extremely helpful and thorough! Love the research and methodology that went into it! Could I buy the v7 motor head and purchase the soft roller (for bare floors) separately? I can’t seem to find a v7 absolute.

Jetta K. If you haven’t purchased one yet, dyson has a V7 absolute right now on their website for 199.99 ($150 off) and you can pick a free tool kit worth up to $75. Free 2 day shipping also.
The soft roller head you used, is it a V7, or V8 model? Also, is compatible with both? I have a V7 Motorhead, and am thinking of ordering the V8 soft roller as the V7 is currently out of stock at the time of posting. Edit: Found the information in the "What we dislike about the Dyson V7" video at 3:25. You mentioned that you have the V8 soft roller head and it fits right on. Thank you
Outstanding review. You have my thanks and respect, liked.
Would you recommend spending an extra $30 to go from v7 absolute to v8 animal? I have both hardwood and carpet in my house
thank you so much!
I'm thinking there's a reason for your presentation in front of the 2 doors. Now I'm curious what's behind door 1 and door 2. Thanks again for the great review.

Hello, please will you tell me what your No. 1 vacuum choice is for pet hair on sofa's and hard wood floors? Thank you.
Well this video is good to know, but I thought Dyson said they are discontinuing the V8 because they have the V10, and it looks like the V7 is the replacement for it.
U are brilliant
Will the soft roller head ( price $99.97 for head alone ) from the V7 work on the V8 ?
