However, that won’t be the case if you’re getting the V7 Absolute or the Fluffy with the Soft Roller tool. The V8 will run for as much as 41 minutes with the crevice tool. And up to 33 minutes using the Direct Drive attachment.

For the record, there are times you may experience high noise levels, and this is a clear sign that something is amiss. We noticed increased sound levels when the brushroll is jammed, as the vacuum tries to compensate for the inefficiency. Cleaning head The handling is superb courtesy of the ergonomic and comfortable handle, as well as the equal weight distribution. It has been perfectly balanced using Archimedes’ principle to make it easy for homeowners to clean the high up places, and the floor without much strain. Maintenance The Dyson V8 Absolute is the best choice as it is equipped with cleaning heads for both hard floors, as well as carpets. The Animal is more efficient at cleaning low-pile carpets, but performs poorly on higher pile carpets. The Animal has a larger garbage bin, which holds 0.55 liters of dirt. It also features a better ergonomic design and wider cleaning path. The V7 Motorhead has a direct drive cleaner head that can turn a fair bit. It can get under furniture and other hard-to-reach places. Cleans surface dirt better on carpets: The V7 scored 100% in seven of the eight tests and was a few percentage points better than the V8.It has a smaller battery than the V8, so it doesn’t run as long. However, cleaning performance isn’t far off, especially on carpet. I prefer the Fluffy attachment because it has better padding; thus, it lessens the risk of scuffing hardwood surfaces significantly. Sand on hardwood comparison of Dyson V7 vs. V8 The V7 Motorhead is a viable option inside smaller homes with lots of carpets where run time won’t be a factor. The V8 Animal is more efficient on low-pile carpets, and is less efficient on high-pile carpets. Unlike the V8 Absolute, the Animal features more accessories and power. You can buy extra accessories for the motorhead to collect pet hair and keep the brush from getting tangled. In addition, the V8 Animal’s bag-less dust bin is a standard size and will hold half a liter of trash at a time. You can also empty the trash bin without contaminating it with dust.

Crevice tool– This is a tool that comes in handy when cleaning the tight spaces between sofas, between car seats and other hard to reach areas. Nonetheless, to prevent downtime, I would suggest purchasing at least an extra set of filters, so you have something to utilize while the filter is drying up. However, the V7 had better results with surface cleaning on carpets. It’s one of the most surprising findings from the experiments I did. Suction power– The motor is also the same for the Animal, Absolute, and Motorhead, but the Animal+ has a less powerful motor, and hence lesser suction.Of all the Dyson cordless vacuums, these two are the best utilized as handhelds due to their smaller stature. All V7 options have the same motor and battery. The difference would be the tools and a post-motor HEPA filter.
