My parents bought a large corded Dyson, almost a decade ago, and I thought it was ridiculous. The price, bulkiness, clumsy gimmicks, combined with average performance gave me a bad impression on Dyson. However, a few months ago, I decided I needed a good lightweight vacuum to clean areas my Roomba can't, and my Dad highly recommended this model. I was apprehensive, but my brother also has a newer corded Dyson and assured me it was nothing like the monstrosity my parents one owned.
After using it for a few months, I have to say, this is truly a different kind of vacuum. It has the power of a corded vacuum, but is quieter than any corded vacuum I've used, and obviously way more portable. From the unique him that it makes, I feel like I'm in the future when I'm using it.
Additionally, I really like the trigger system, so you have fine control over the energy consumption.
Furthermore, I initially thought the bin emptying mechanism was a silly gimmick, but it turns out to be really genius, because it scrubs any debris from the filter interface, so you'll never have to manually clean the bin.
We have been watching Dyson commercials for years. Many times we thought about buying one but didn't. Suffice to say we should have made the purchase years ago.
This vacuum is everything that it is advertised as. It picks up everything - especially hair. It is easy to empty and charges relatively quickly.
Only con: There is literally NO warning when the battery is going to die. It will simply 'stop' when the battery is to low. And I don't mean slow down, it STOPS. The first time it happened it was alarming. Regardless it is a wonderful tool and we plan on purchasing the next size!
Awesome vacuum. Sweet spot for me price wise. It has double the power of the V6 but much cheaper than the V8. All around this seems to be the best priced model value wise. I was skeptical and researched quite awhile before deciding. This thing is soooo convenient. My apartment is much cleaner now just because I can just grab this thing and fly over my floors rather than hauling out the vacuum cleaner and having to plug it in three different places because the cord doesn't reach. The swivel is just genius.
The suction is really good. One thing to know that on max suction the battery only lasts 6 minutes. This wasn't obvious to me when researching. Otherwise, it lasts 20m on normal mode or 30m for handheld at regular suction.The handheld attachments are nice and way easier than using a dusting cloth. It has been a game changer for me.
Some minor complaints is that it feels weird pushing this on my carpet. My carpet is low profile and suited for it, but it doesn't roll smooth like on wood floors. Maybe this to be expected, but much different than a regular vacuum. Not a biggie though. On the wood floors, it's a champ. Another minor complaint is that it doesn't tend to get bigger particles. I think because it sets so low, it tends to push them. This can be worked around by lifting it and sitting it on the particle. It's not as strong as a plugged in Dyson, but for me it's perfect and worth the trade off. Max suction is pretty decent though and I can drag my bar stools via the suction.
However, If you hit a totally flat surface where it can't breath it will cut off a brief second -- not sure if it's by design or not. Maybe it needs just a tiny bit of airflow. This only happens when cleaning my bar stool tops though -- because they are super flat perhaps.
I highly recommend this product.
This is an amazing device. The suction is as good as my old, corded Dyson (from 2006). It's light. The fact that it's cordless is awesome--I didn't realize how much fighting with the cord on my old vacuum contributed to making the chore of cleaning onerous. The battery lasts in normal cleaning mode more than long enough to do our entire downstairs, over 2000 sq ft. Because it only runs when you pull the trigger, you're not wasting battery life when you move from room to room, so the total time I spend cleaning is longer than the battery life. The attachment for stairs is excellent. It works equally well on hardwood floors and carpet.
I did purchase the fluffy head attachment for hardwood floors, but the bristles on the regular head that come with this are pretty soft and I don't think I would have needed the fluffy head for my hand-scraped hardwood floors. If you have polished hardwood, you might have a different experience.
Overall, I think this is well worth the price.
I always wondered what the hype was all about for Dyson vacuums. Now I know. I just traded in my heavy, corded vacuum for the V7 Animal and wow am I impressed! Didn't lose suction, and had enough battery life to take care of about 2000 square feet in one go, with multiple stops to empty the dirt cup. I also love how convenient it is to store.

Seriously, this vacuum is the best! Getting a 32 year old guy to be overly excited about vacuuming is a true testament to product marketing and ingenuity. I ran out of things to vacuum at my place so I contemplated asking my neighbors if I could vacuum theirs so I had an excuse to keep using it. Worth the money.
This vacuums & picks up dust and trash amazingly well. But the switch is poor design. Makes sense that for it to operate , I must keep finger on switch. But that quickly caused a callus on my finger. But my main complaint is understanding how to clean the filters which apparently is required. I’m very frustrated. OK. Follow up. The seller contacted me & helped me get past my frustration trying to get filters out of machine to clean so my focus now is how does it vacuum. It’s great & since the debris that gets picked up is visible, I am always amazed. But I’ve been using an Electrolux for 50 years with wands & powerhead, etc. This portable Dyson is just for quick broad areas & I love it for that but it’ll never replace my Electrolux for getting in corners, nooks & crannies.
Loved it. I was nervous since it was "used-acceptable "
But the price was significantly lower than new. It's in excellent condition and with full warranty. Would do amazon warehouse again. Vacuum works great cans with all original parts and packaging. Very light vacuum, good suction
How does one write a review on a vacuum? It really sucks! No, I mean it doesn't suck. Well, I mean...
I'm not sure how this vacuum got anything but 5-star reviews. It works just like the video in the product description. It's lightweight, easy to use because it's cordless, attachments click on and off simply, no bags or filters to change, it's easy to store on the wall hanger, but best of all, it is has SUPER POWERFUL suction. I've never experienced a vacuum like it, and, sad to say, I've experienced many vacuums over the years.
It's still new to me, so if anything changes, I'll update my review.
BTW, I almost didn't buy this vacuum because I read some of the less than stellar reviews. Then a good friend told me how much she loved hers, so I went for it. I'm so glad I did. Makes me wonder if those people who wrote bad reviews are real. Or, perhaps they work at competitors? Or maybe there was a bad batch manufactured. All I can say is my experience is nothing but excellent.
Just what I wanted. Very efficient low noise and so light. I use it if I drop anything. Before I used to get
The broom out well not anymore. It is easy to
Empty and to clean.
It has enough autonomy that I can clean my 1300sq foot appartement in one go. I rarely use the strong suction Just on mats where my cat sleeps to pick up the hair and on the cat trees.
The only downfall is that the other elements are not attached to the core of the vacuum so sometimes I have to stop it to get the other brushes. But this is a very minor downfall. Also you have to keep you finger on the button to keep it on.
