Dyson - Dyson V7 Advanced

I got a used V7 "Allergy" model advertised as "needs battery" ... it would operate for a bit and then turn off for overheating (it wasn't clear if this was the battery or the motor). While the "Allergy" filter filters the air exiting the unit, I removed it and found that the reduced resistance greatly extended the run time of the bad battery. HOWEVER, I looked at, tried tapping and shaking the allergy filter and nothing would come out so I had assumed it was fine but, think about it, over the course of a year if your mother did a lot of vacuuming how much air it actually ends up filtering. When you have a real "allergy" rated filter on a vacuum it puts out air with less particulates than the ambient air. Changing the battery and the filters (the one on the back and the conical one inside the centrifuge) I have what seems to be a new vacuuming experience. :) If she's using it multiple times a day then it might not be a surprise that it lasted for a year ... but the battery/filter replacement is pretty cheap if you get a combined battery/filter(s) replacement online. Mine was \~$25.

if you're at all a DIY person, then here's what I did. I spotted a V7 (with charger and all accessories) on FB Marketplace for $40, offered $30 and they accepted. It needed a new battery and filter which I got from Amazon for \~$25. It runs great, amazing cleaning power ... not sure about the battery life though since I just use it for a small area but for a total of about $55 I have very convenient access to a quick clean-up!

Vacuums. Hoover is a brand of vacuum cleaner. I'm a long-term user of a Dyson V7 for the quick jobs and a Henry for the larger areas.

We have a regular corded vacuum but we also have an 8 year old Dyson V7 cordless handheld vacuum that is so handy especially for quickly sucking up what we call "tumbleweeds" from our reddish haired golden doodle. I highly recommend these quickly cleaning up almost any dry mess.

My Dyson (v7 I think) actually worked pretty well when we lived in a townhouse similar to yours. The main downside imo is you won't be able to do the whole place without recharging. This sub also recommends against bagless and cordless generally speaking, and I agree that they're worse. But the cordless are easier when you're constantly going up and down the stairs

Depends on the situation as well. When I lived in a condo with hard floors the Dyson was great. Now that we live in a bigger house with a lot of carpet, wed have to charge it twice just to do the basement decently. Also had to warranty/purchase knockoff parts 5 items in the 6 years we've had it. Still great for small areas though

I have an older V7, and I put a V8 battery by mistake. Outcome: bigger battery but is a bit tight getting in the charging dock. Cost like £30. Really easy to change.

Ich habe den Dyson v7 seit 5 Jahren und bin mega zufrieden. Er saugt zuverlässig meine 67 qm (ohne tierische Mitbewohner). Wenn er mal das zeitliche segnen sollte, zieht wieder ein Dyson ein.

I’ve got the same dyson, Honestly it’s my go to. My husband bought a corded one from Argos after the dyson, it worked for a bit but didn’t out live my Dyson. I’m considering upgrading it, I’ve had it 4/5 years and it’s never failed me (I did replace the battery). My mum has the newest one and I must admit, it’s not as seamless as mines, looks harder to empty (I’ve not done it myself) but works great otherwise.

Ich werfe auch meinen Hut für Dyson in den Ring. Ich habe den V15 hier, der seit 4 Jahren klaglos seinen Dienst tut. Katzenhaare stressen ihn überhaupt nicht und auch alles andere bekommt er weg, wie man es von einem Staubsauger erwartet. Den Laser in der Bodendüse habe ich vor dem Kauf noch für Spielerei gehalten, er ist aber eine echte Hilfe und ein bisschen mehr Spaß macht das Saugen so auch 😄 Davor hatte ich einen Dyson V7, der jetzt bei Bekannten zum Einsatz kommt. Die Materialanmutung ist sicher nicht die beste, aber dafür haben Sauger und Zubehör trotz allem gut gehalten, nichts gebrochen oder sonstige Schäden, von Kratzern mal abgesehen.

The lighter and more compact the better. Affordable parts, HEPA filters need to be replaced. Good reliable battery.  I love my v7 that I picked up for free on marketplace, I've installed a battery adaptor that takes power tool batteries. It's a game changer

I have a Dyson cordless (v7 I think bought on sale last year). I have arthritis so hand strength is a bit of an issue and I really like it for this reason - it's light and easy to manoeuvre. We have a large 2 bedroom apartment and can do half of it before the battery dies and needs to be charged - I guess it depends on you whether that's an issue or not. We just work within that limitation, eg do the kitchen, living, bathroom then put it back on the charge, Carry on with other cleaning (bathrooms, kitchen etc) then finish off the vacuuming once it's charged again. It's really not that big a deal, pretty sure you can buy an extra battery though if it is a problem for you. I was also looking at a Miele cordless version at the time which I think had a better battery but was a fair bit more expensive. From what I was looking at at the time the dyson v7 came out on top with a cost versus quality calculation.
