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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
