Sharonasked
I have my Dyson mounted in my garage. For the last few days the blue light has been off and the solid yellow light is displayed, and it has not charge. Could this be due to the temperature in the garage?

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your query.
Dyson machines are designed to be charged in temperatures between 3°C and 30°C. If outside this range, the machine may not function or charge as expected. In your particular circumstance, it sounds like the battery is either too hot or too cold and, as a safety precaution, it won't charge until it is within the recommended temperatures.
I hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to help.
Best wishes,

Once fully charged, can it stay plugged in?
2 answers
Yes. However need to unplug it to turn the machine on.
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Kenny,
Thank you for your query.
Your Dyson V7 Animal has smart electronics within the machine, battery and charger to ensure the machine won't overcharge.
We recommend you leave the machine on charge when not in use, this will ensure it is always ready for your next cleaning session. The electronics in the machine will ensure the battery charges to 100%, but not over.
Because of these electronics, it is also perfectly okay to do quick "top-up" charges without the need to exhaust the battery each time before charging.
I hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to help.
Best wishes,

Geoffasked
Our dyson V7 animal is cutting in and out. Could this be a faulty trigger or something else?

Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Geoff,
Thank you for your question.
Sorry to hear your machine is cutting in and out. If your machine is making a surging or pulsing sound this sound indicates a restriction in airflow through the machine. We would encourage checking the machine's airways as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpxRl17N03E
Should you find the issue persists, please contact our helpline on 1800 239 766 with your machine handy. Our helpline is open Mon-Fri 8am-7pm and on the weekend 8.30am-4pm.
Alternatively you can email your details through to [email protected] and one of our experts will be in touch as soon as possible to assist.

I go to charge my dyson 7 and it flashes blue until I put the charger back on then when I go use it the light flashes red an d don work.. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it very much!!!!!!!!!!!! The j you god bless!!
2 answers
I don't know about the red light. It should always be a blue light. When it is fully charged it should show all three bars blue and when you use it the bars light keep moving down until it is needs charging again. When all three bars disappear put it on charger again.

Magda Hasked
With the battery time being so little and having a big house. Can i actually buy any extra battery and use it with the original battery.?
1 answer
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Magda,
Thank you for your query.
The battery on the Dyson V7 machine is screwed to the main body, and while it can be removed in the event it needs to be replaced, we don't recommend routinely swapping the batteries out. That being said, this machine will provide a 20-30 minute run time on the high power mode (and 6 minutes on MAX), and charges in just 3.5 hours so the machine can be used multiple times a day.
I hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to help.

Maryasked
Our boat house varies in temperature from about 40 to 85 degrees. Is it safe to plug in a V7 with the temp. variations AND if we are not there for possilby 2 months, can the device be left on the charger?
1 answer
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Mary,
Thank you for your query.
We suggest that Dyson cord-free machines are charged between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius. Outside this, the machine won't perform as expected.
Should the machine not be used for an extended period of time, we would encourage removing it from the charger, and placing back on the charger when you return.
I hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to help.

Joeasked
Hi there just brought a dyson animal v7 whats the best way to charge the machine do i need to dicharge fulky then recharge?
2 answers
We fully charge any new gadget - but you’ll find there’s a bit juice in the battery to operate it.
Recommend fully charging it first - doesn’t take long. Then after each use we normally re-charge if we’ve done about 20 to 30 mins of vacuuming. Hope this helps?
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your question.
Because charging stops when the battery is full, we recommend to reconnect the machine to the charger when you are finished vacuuming as this ensures you have a full run time available when you need to vacuum again. However if you prefer to discharge fully before recharging instead, this should also not have any negative effect on the battery.
If you have any further questions or if you need assistance please email us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help.
Best wishes,

Radaasked
Hi
We got a dyson v7 vacuum very recently. Why does the charging last only 9-12 minutes?Is it something faulty or is it supposed to do so?? Please let me know ASAP.
2 answers
Hi there, it sounds like you're using the Turbo function. This is super powerful, so uses up the battery quicker. You should get 20-30 mins (from memory) if using the regular power - the button should be flicked to the left as you look down on the handheld bit. I only use the turbo for the patches of carpet where my dog has been lounging; the regular power does a great job for most areas.
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Rada,
Thank you for your question.
If using the machine on MAX mode you will be experiencing a reduced runtime. If this is not the case and you are only getting 9-12 minutes from the machine on normal mode please send through an email to us at [email protected] with your details and one of our experts will be in touch as soon as possible to assist.

Brianasked
how is device charged
1 answer
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Brian,
Thank you for your question and your interest in our technology.
The Dyson V7 Animal will come with a charger you can plug into a standard power point. You can plug the charger straight into the back of the machine or use the docking station that comes with the machine to wall mount it.
Best wishes,

Dia tuasked
I have a v7 total clean and I want to charge it in my porch but the plug socket is too close to the floor and the charger plug won’t fit in. Would it be possible to use an extension lead and plug the charger into it or would it not be safe? Thank you.
2 answers
Hi Dia tu, as far as I know if your extension lead is in perfect working order (not damaged at all) it will definitely be safe to plug in the charger and as long as it's out of the weather, on your porch.
Dyson Team ..Dyson
Hi Dia tu,
Thank you for your query.
Our recommendation is to plug the machine directly into the wall socket whenever possible, and to charge the machine inside.
If we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Experts will be happy to help.
