I am converted. A proper battery powered vacuum is incredible. The ease of use and speed I can clean the house is amazing. We primarily use this on hardwood floors ad the motor heads works pretty well. On occasion is does kick the dirt around a bit but switching it to Max mode make easy work of this.
We use is on thick woolen carpet as well in our bedrooms and the amount of dust it sucks up is pretty scary considering the floors look clean.
This is so portable, I would highly recommend!!

This is the second Dyson vacuum I have purchased.
First one is V6 slim, and the battery couldn't be re-charge after a year, as I counldn't find the receipt, so I didn't chase for the warrantee, I thought that might be a coincidence.
Then I purchased the V7 7 months ago basicaly for clean insdie of my car. Now the battery couldn't re-charge again, the Customer Care line so hard to get through, and they only make the procedure harder and I have lost the trust of this "famous' Brand.

bought this for my girlfriend who lives in a studio apartment with carpet and has made her cleaning a lot easier and more efficient. easy to store and without chords is a huge improvement from her old vacuum

Because we have hard floors throughout our place, I thought we would go for the convenience of a cord free vacuum. The Dyson V7 has not disappointed us, picking up everything on the floor, and the run time on battery is sufficient for doing the whole place.
My hand does get a bit tired though as the weight of the vacuum sits in the part you are holding on to, as opposed to a barrel vacuum where the part you are holding on to is very light.
I can definitely tell it isn't as powerful as our Miele barrel vacuum, but for hard floors it's perfect.

Very good vacuum and would recommending it.
it clean well both on hard flooring and carpet.
it does only last for about 6-7min nonstop.
Best to use in living where there is power

The Dyson V7 Cord free vaccum cleaner is great. It sucks up everything, even the tiniest crumbs. It even suck up all the dog hair sheddings on our carpet. Only bad side is the battery life, but if you have a small apartment it's fine, otherwise you'll need a few charges to get a big house done.

Vacuuming was always a chore, but having the V7 has made it a breeze. The batter life is more than sufficient for a one-bedroom apartment and does fairly well on all surfaces.

I’m not going to disagree that this vacuum is expensive! But this machine has truly changed my life. It has made vacuuming an absolute pleasure. It has made me enjoy cleaning! Thanks to its rolling brush, it picks up everything perfectly at the first pass on carpet. However it should be noted that it doesn’t do as well on tiles as dirt gets kicked about. The soft roller should work better. I live in a one bedroom and I never had a problem with the battery run out on me before — and I am a very thorough person when cleaning. I’ll clean the entire house including vacuuming the bed.

When I bought this I was worried about how small the collection container and size would be an issue. I was so wrong. I find that because it is so portable and easy to use, I grab it more often and therefore there is less of a need to do a big vacuum. I doubt I will ever go back to corded.

Pro:
- Very easy to empty bin, large improvement to V6
- Reasonable battery life on normal mode
- Clean dirty better than my big and heavy cord traditional 2000w vacuum

Con:
- Battery still not good on Max mode
- Could be better if they have hybrid option, like can plug in for Max mode.

I use this vacuum cleaner in all areas and it performs great. It especially works very well when cleaning the car and works well on any surface around the house.

We have slate tiles at home, for those of you who don’t know they’re bumpy. And the Dyson works very well in getting everything off the floor. The battery life when not on charge is pretty good. Not enough to do the whole house. But enough to do an average living room and possibly 2 bedrooms. It’s easy to charge and charges fairly quickly. It’s lasted us about 3 years and still working well

Paid $399 8 months ago at Harvey norman. Everything goes well. So so in love with the Dyson .
A great, lightweight cleaner that is an ideal complement to a larger vacuum.

Pros
Great cleaning on any type of flooring
Light, well balanced and quiet
Superb for pet hair
Easy emptying
Excellent tools
Awesome for stairs

The Dyson hand held is a must have it works great on all flour types, can be used to clean out the car with ease. I use it on my mattress (omg couldn’t believe what I was sleeping on) and even used to do the corners (cobwebs) I also do the wall fans in my bathroom, which I don’t have to take the cover off any more it works on everything. I can do my whole house (3b’room)on one charge it works that good without the boost button that I don’t often need it. My 4 & 6 year old grab it off the wall and love to clean up there own mess yeah!!!

We use our Dyson every day, love the convenience of cordless cleaning, decent suction and great swivel head. More expensive than other brands with similar features yet the battery has been replaced three times now and that’s not cheap either. Purchased for longevity however I’m not sure we’ll buy again as the lifespan isn’t near what we expected v the initial outlay and battery replacement costs. Not up there with value for money unfortunately.

Easy to use in rooms and especially in cars. It's not heavy. Tried on all surfaces - tiles, carpet, laminate - all good. Overall I'm happy with the purchase.
The only thing I don't like very much is how long the charge lasts. I have to stop in the middle of cleaning, charge it and then continue.

It’s been a great purchase so far! Quick, good suction and the whole family can use it. My 11 year old and 8 year old now enjoy helping clean! Surfaces used on - tiles, carpet wood. Only negative is how long the charge lasts for as I usually can’t make it around the whole house.

Great for the car, and maybe a few rooms of the house.
This is used on a combination of wood, carpets and rugs.
Unfortunately, it has a small capacity and fills after each room. It is however, very easy to empty.
I think it's a great tool to supplement the full sized vacuum and has made some areas of the house much easier to clean, but not a replacement.
