"I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge."
"being cordless and effective for what I need. ... For some the tradeoff for cordless, no bags, good suction, etal means we vacuum more than we otherwise would. ... I never would have thought I'd defend a near $1,000 cordless vacuum but I got one as a gift and will never buy anything different now."
"I love the dyson stick vacuum for quick pickups."

"I’ve had one for my V8 and it’s lasted longer than the oem now, plus it is a lather capacity battery too."
"replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) ... I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period"

"the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs ... I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs"

"I hate to hold pressing the power button all the time."
"I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming."
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.
r/VacuumCleaners • Dyson v8 plus worth it ? ->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!
r/VacuumCleaners • Dyson v8 plus worth it ? ->I feel the same way. As much as I love my Dyson v7 for going over the house quickly, it’s not fun to clean (and doesn’t hold much) compared to my Kirby g4.
r/VacuumCleaners • This is why I don’t miss having a corded bagless vacuum cleaner! ->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.
r/AskUK • Hoovers. What are you using and why? ->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.
r/HomeImprovement • Small apartment + pet hair, is a cordless vacuum actually worth it or should I stick to a regular one? ->Damn, I love you for this. Nerd out my friend! I just bought a Dyson V10 Animal to replace my Dyson V7 that was gifted to me refurbished 3-4 years ago. The tech in the V10 for long hair is AMAZING. No more having to physically cut hair and cat fur off of the brush every month. I tried to fix the V7: replaced the filters and the battery. But it was literally just pushing around debris on the floor. The V10 had a $100 rebate off and I broke, using some Christmas gift money to buy it. I regret nothing, but will take better maintenance care of this one to keep it for life.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->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.
r/wohnen • Akkustaubsauger - Ich raste komplett aus ⬇️ ->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.
r/wohnen • Akkustaubsauger - Ich raste komplett aus ⬇️ ->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
r/VacuumCleaners • What features define the best stick vacuum for most households? ->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.
r/newzealand • Decent cheap vacuum recommendations? ->Dyson v15 works fantastic, got the green light on hard floor head, so I vac in the dark and see all hair and dirt. Carpet head works a treat, Power head is great for stairs and the car. Only downside is being cordless has limited run time so I alternate days I vacuum up and down stairs or give a few hours to charge up It replaced my previous Dyson v7 wich worked great when i bought my house, shortly after getting my heeler it just couldn't cope. lol
