However, it's not intended for cleaning carpets, and its performance on bare floors is only passable. The vacuum's parts clip together, and there's a button you can use to quickly unclip them when you want to reconfigure it.

Aside from the different variations, the V7 itself sits somewhere in-between the Dyson V6 and V8, in both its design and performance characteristics. Add to that the 100 air watts of suction power you get on the max setting means the V7 can handle pretty much any job. The Dyson V7 is a versatile stick vacuum that performs very well on carpet but isn't as good as some other vacuums on bare floors, especially compared to newer, more expensive Dyson models like the Dyson V15 Detect.It’s not just hair and dust the V7 can suck up – if you’ve spilt cereal in the kitchen, got mud, small pebbles, or dried grass and straw in the car, the V7 can manage it all.

Please be aware of potentially dangerous batteries using cheap, unbranded cells being sold elsewhere on the internet. The 21 “Airwatts” of power suffices for light cleaning and the 30 minutes of battery life is just about enough time for a thorough sweep of a small two-bedroom flat with hard flooring.This not only makes it easier to empty than the V6 but also makes it a breeze to remove hairs that might have become tangled inside. There’s enough power here to suck up hair, sand and pebbles, although a 30-minute battery life on the standard power setting means you may not be able to get your entire home cleaned in one go. It's fantastic at picking up large debris like sand and does a great job of sucking up finer debris like baking soda. It's better at storing away when not in use, it has a slightly larger dirt compartment, and its battery performance is much better.
