I've waited a very.long time for this purchase and it was worth the wait. No .ore cords, great attachments, reaches every corner of the house and under the bed. Swivels easily and easy to clean.

Dyson's V-series cleaners get a middle sibling in the form of the V7, tested here in its pet-hair-busting Animal guise. A whole lot quieter than the V6 and slightly more svelte than the V8 , it has most of the flagship's main features.

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

Brilliance doesn't come cheap

"Delighted with everything about this machine, it is just what I needed for easy and much quicker cleaning. There is just one small minus which has nothing to do with the performance, when I curl my finger round the trigger it rests uncomfortably against the back plate ."

I'm really pleased, I've been looking at various different types and decided to go for the Animal Dyson and am not disappointed. On 1st use I was surprised how light it was to use and didn't really feel like it had a great suction but do not be fooled! It's an amazing bit of kit.

Not much to say, really. It does what it says on the box, and it does it well. A little awkward to store as the docking station is fairly clunky, but why use that anyway Save space.

We are family with 2 kids, 4 and 10 plus large dog. Bought this Dyson animal as our Miele started overheating. After reading reviews was overwhelmed with positive responses and great features of the cleaner. Unfortunately when received wasn't impressed.

We have a SEBO upright cleaner, heavy to use, and not easy to get under other furniture. The Dyson is a revelation, lasting about 40mins on a charge, really good suction, ( the bedroom carpet felt like new after only once going over) and sliding under book cases without the usual awkward down click...

Having a bad shoulder I decided I needed something lighter than my current Dyson tank so after much humming and hawing I decided on the Dyson V7 Animal cordless. I was a bit unsure after reading some of the more negative reviews, especially considering the cost, but wow!

Still getting used to the machine but results have been good. Had difficulty opening it to empty the machine but have now cracked it.
Difficult to remove filter to wash it.

Works amazingly well, esp on stairs. Picks up an amazing amount of dust, hair, dirt out of carpeting!! Very portable and easy use on the stairs. Plus you can vacuum easily under furniture... awesome vacuum!!
