The battery indicator is a single light on one side of the V7’s handle (as opposed to the three-bar light found on the V8). Also on the main unit is the slider to switch suction modes – while it’s located right in front of the handheld unit, you will need your other hand to swap modes if you’re doing so in the middle of a clean. That’s the only thing you’re going to need both hands for, though, as the V7 is remarkably easy to use single-handed. Performance Sand was not a problem on hard floors. But when it came to coarse dirt like lentils and oat flakes, the V7 definitely had a harder time. The coarse dirt was only pushed around in front of the roller and some of it was even skidded around.The battery runtime depends on the suction level and the selected attachment. With the standard electric brush in low suction mode, the V7 lasts for 30 minutes. In turbo mode, the cordless vacuum cleaner works for only 6 minutes. We assess the cleaning performance of each vacuum cleaner, compare it to the competition, and then rate it.

During the test, the devices have to vacuum different kinds of dirt from different floor types. Overall, the Dyson V7 did a very good job.
