A Floor's Best Friend
My apartment mainly consists of laminate flooring which I had been cleaning with a Swiffer and occasionally vacuuming with a traditional upright vacuum. Even so, I still found myself stepping on food crumbs or picking up clumps of dust near the walls. The Dyson V7 with the fluffy head has solved these problems and even makes vacuuming pretty enjoyable. PROS: - The Fluffy head is perfect for any type of hard floor, including wood, tile, and laminate. Traditional upright vacuums and Swiffers have a tendency to simply push debris around rather than capture it. Dyson’s Fluffy head has a very large opening – the brush sits directly on the floor rather than a large plastic lip. This allows the Fluffy to pick up all types of debris with just one pass. After going through my entire apartment just once, I was amazed at how much dust and debris was captured in the bin. - The compact size of the Fluffy head and vacuum stick makes it easy to clean under tables, desks, and even sofas. - This particular V7 configuration comes with a generous amount of secondary tools, including: mini motorized tool; crevice tool; combination brush; and a dusting brush. These tools turn the V7 into a powerful handheld vacuum that can be used on sofas or in cars. - Fully assembled, the V7 with Fluffy head is extremely light-weight and easy to maneuver. CONS: - Battery life isn’t bad, but it’s not great either. The vacuum obviously works best on “Max” mode, but the battery only lasts about 7 minutes this way. In normal mode, it lasts just shy of 30 minutes. Acceptable for a smaller apartment like mine, but those with large homes may be disappointed. - The battery also takes a long time to recharge – almost 3.5 hours to get to 100%. - Emptying the canister is easy enough, but it seems kind of awkward to me. You have to hover the canister over your trash can or bag and use your opposite hand to force down the latch. Dyson greatly improved this in the V11 model with the “point-and-shoot” method. OVERALL: The V7 Fluffy will be a revelation for those with large areas of hard floors. Forget the brooms, Swiffers, and clunky old vacuums – this will be your new favorite cleaning tool. Yes, it’s expensive, but for someone like me who values a clean home, it’s well worth the cost. The versatility and expandability of this machine is also unmatched by any other brand. Highly recommended!

Very impressed so far...
I own a few Dyson products, from a pure floor vacuum, to an air purifier and they always produce well made, top quality products. This V7 Fluffy is no exception (although that name...) and feels good and solid in your hand. It comes with a variety of attachments, including furniture brushes, a smaller rotating brush, the usual vent attachment and a softer brush attachment. Also included is a very convenient wall mounted charging plate. It was simple to install and the way the mounting holes are created allows you to fine tune the mount to be nice and level. A simple push up and in to connect the vacuum in there and a push up and pull out to release it. Works nicely. As for the vacuum, it comes in a nice matte blue and grey. It's solidly built, and not too heavy. Looking over the vacuum and putting it together, testing it out etc, I did have one problem with the release of the dust bucket. If you don't pull it up all the way, it can become stuck in the chamber and won't go up or down, to open the bin or go back into place. At one point I felt like I was going to break the vacuum before I'd even used it, because the dust bucket was stuck. I finally managed to free it, without breaking it, and it's been working fine ever since, so just make sure when emptying the dust bucket, to pull it all the way up (over a trash can of course) so that it doesn't jam on you. It has enough power for hardwood floors, and they brush/roller is definitely designed ONLY for smooth flat surfaces (tile/wood) and not for carpet, so don't even kid yourself this will be a carpet vacuum. On the low setting, I got about 24 mins out of the vacuum. On the high setting, that reduced it to about 9 mins. Typically, if vacuuming once a day tho, on the wood floors, you are going to be able to easily cover the area you need to on a charge. The size of it is adequate for a portable/handheld/rechargeable device, not too heavy in the hand or cumbersome. The only thing I would like to see is a dedicated 'on' button... as I found my hand getting a little tired, trying to hold the trigger and maneuver the vacuum around, especially when I was vacuuming the wood in between the spindles on the stairs. Outside of that, I am very impressed with the Dyson V7 Fluffy, it's a nice addition to my Dyson arsenal.

Beautiful, Powerful, Nimble and Versatile!
The Dyson V7 Fluffy Cordless Stick Vacuum is a remarkably lightweight, versatile device that provides nearly effortless, but very effective, vacuuming on hard floors, walls, window blinds and furniture. It has a HEPA filter and is bagless to make it even more attractive and earth friendly. What does the Dyson V7 Fluffy Stick Vac do best? Highest grades for efficiently vacuuming hard floors, upholstered furniture, window blinds, close-weave area rugs, picking up of pet hair and crumbs from the kitchen floor, clearing cobwebs from the ceiling, dust from walls, computer keyboard and other surfaces and, bonus, serves as a great car vacuum because of its versatile cordless feature. It does all of this quietly, and with great suction and maneuverability to reach into every tight corner. The unit easily switches to a hand held vacuum with a very well-engineered, light-weight body, good grip handle, CORDLESS, I am not shouting, just did not want you to miss that wonderful feature) which makes it a go to anytime vacuum if a mess occurs. It is so user friendly! If you hate dragging out a heavy vacuum for the small clean up or finding a space to fit more equipment into a crowded closet, this great Dyson stick vacuum with its slender profile will solve that problem too. How? Because you can hang it on the wall with the beautiful charging bracket provided! Dyson Appliances was founded by Sir James Dyson in 1991 and introduced the root cyclonic (centrifugal) separation system for home vacuums. Multiple root cyclones are used to improve the dust collection efficiency and to reduce the size and weight of the vacuum. The advantage of this technology is that dust can be extracted without clogging the suction system. Other innovations incorporated in all Dyson vacuums were the bagless, clear plastic dirt collection bin, washable filters and very high rpm electric motors. While at first I did not like the idea of seeing the dirt collected in the clear plastic collection bin, ironically, it is another one of the best features…because you want to empty the collected dirt out of the bin after vacuuming rather than store the dust and dirt in your unit. PLUS, yes, another plus, with this Dyson you are not buying collection bags every few months….so it’s environmentally friendly and economical too. One reason that Dyson vacuums are so highly rated is their superb suction power. Essentially every vacuum relies on two factors to pull in dirt: speed of airflow (measured in cubic feet per minute) and suction power (measured in inches of water lifted). Airflow is generated by the RPM of the motor and suction is created by the physical size of the fan blades attached to the motor. The combination of airflow and suction power is called airwatts. (The actual formula is AirWatts = Airflow CFM x Water Lift Inches x 0.117) The very high RPM digital motors used by Dyson create high airflow which reduces the need for large fan blades and the associated big, heavy motor found in most vacuum cleaners. The Dyson V7 Fluffy generates 21 airwatts in normal mode and 100 airwatts in max power mode. A typical full-size corded upright vacuum will produce about 100 -120 airwatts and the most powerful models (like the biggest Dyson) can generate about 270 airwatts. But keep in mind that these are designed for cleaning thick carpets. For hard floors and other surfaces the suction power required for cleaning is much lower due to the fact that you do not need to pull dirt up past a dense weave of carpet fibers. The 21 airwatts in normal mode is quite sufficient for cleaning hardwood, tile and granite floors. The 100 airwatts in max mode can handle area rugs and upholstered furniture very effectively. But beyond the dull technical details, Dyson vacuums have become the premier brand not only due to their engineering superiority but also for the elegant styling which all incorporate. The Dyson V7 Fluffy is just beautiful with glossy materials, well-chosen colors and a sleek, futuristic design. If a vacuum cleaner can be a status symbol, Dyson meets the requirement. Here is a summary of the key features: • Model: Dyson V7 Fluffy Cordless Stick Vacuum • Digital V7 21.6 volt, 16.2 amp brushless motor rotates at 107,000 RPM and provides powerful suction power • Large non-slip, balanced ergonomic handle and power trigger for effortless control • 15 radial cyclones in two tiers remove all dust and never clog • Powered 20 watt direct-drive main cleaner head removes ground-in dirt with 10 inch wide cleaning path • Swivel head connection for great maneuverability • Ultra soft bristles and fibers in powered rollerhead prevent scratches on delicate wood surfaces • Includes 20 watt powered mini turbo brush head, crevice tool, combination tool, narrow brush head, 27 inch extension tube, docking station • Easily converts to compact handheld vacuum • Hepa filtration cleans air as it operates • Washable lifetime filter • Two suction power choices: 21 airwatts (Normal), 100 airwatts (Max) • 2100 mAh six cell nickel cobalt manganese battery provides 30 minutes running time, 3.5 hour recharge time and very long life • Easily removable high-impact clear dust bin, no touch dirt emptying • Dimensions: 8.2 inch height, 49 inch length (with extension tube), 9.8 inch width • Lightweight! Just 5.3 pounds! • Two year warranty on parts and labor In my condo, the floor cleaning challenges I face are a 2300 sq. ft. mix of hardwood floors, granite floors and several area rugs. There are thresholds between several of the rooms to create visual breaks or because some of the floors are at slightly different heights. I also have a sweet little Yorkshire Terrier that does not shed, but she can somehow scatter her food on the floor around her food bowls. So how well does it clean? I found that it does an outstanding job of removing dust and debris from all of the hard surfaces as well as the upholstered furniture. The powered roller head was very agile, turning easily and covered every part of the floor. The power trigger has a very soft touch and the unit turns on and off instantly, extending the battery life. Because it is so light (5.3 pounds) you can easily carry it around your home and will not be worn out when you finish vacuuming. It was impressive that it did not scatter the bits of debris on the floor as I vacuumed and it picked up everything: dust, plant leaves, crumbs, dog food. I did not need to pick up a single thing off the floor by hand - it caught it all!! Fun fact: The fluffy roller head is two colors, red and blue. The long suction stick is a very regal purple. When the roller head is in motion it turns purple like the stick body. Pure magic! The nice variety of provided accessories (crevice tool, narrow brush, powered mini roller brush and combination brush) all attach easily and firmly with the quick release catch system. They greatly enhance the versatility of the Dyson stick vac. You can throw out that old dustbuster and car vacuum that never seem to work – your new Dyson is the world’s best cordless hand vacuum! Overall, you should be very impressed by the quality of the Dyson V7 and will appreciate its ability to thoroughly and effortlessly clean in your home. Final comment, my Yorkie gives it her 100 point tail-wag of approval after seeing a spotless floor around her food bowl again!

Versatile, extremely lightweight and easy to use
I have owned other cordless vacuum, but after using this machine a couple of times, I feel like this is truly different. It has the power of a corded vacuum but quieter and extremely portable and easy to maneuver. It does everything as advertised. What I like the most is that it is incredibly lightweight, I can clean ceiling vents with just one hand. It is easy to pick up, handle, and move around. The soft, bristle cleaner head does an excellent job picking large and fine dust particles. The swivel head and the light weight allows for quick and easy turning while vacuuming. Emptying the bin canister can be performed without touching the filter. The two filters and the rollers are washable, make sure they are completely dry before reusing them. I recommend this vacuum for its versatility, easy and quick cleaning, especially hard to reach places. Not only is it suitable for the floor but also wall and ceiling cleanings, such as AC vents, fans, stairs, and window blinds. Note that this vacuum is designed for quick and easy deep cleaning but not for prolonged deep cleaning. It is excellent for typical debris around the house.
