I have a trusty V7 Motorhead for over 7 years and its just beginning to lose its :edge”. I would appreciate recommendations for replacing with a current model please.

 

We dont have pets of children living at home but just want a good replacement such as V15 Detect ?

Hi ​@GaryS,

Thanks for coming back with this additional detail!

It sounds like the Dyson V12 Detect Slim™ Absolute could be a good choice for your needs.

This is currently the lightest and most compact cordless vacuum in our UK range, and has sensors to automatically adjust suction power based on the quantity of dust particles it’s picking up: https://www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v12

Take a look, and let us know if you have any further questions we can help with.

Hi ​@GaryS,

Welcome to the Dyson Community!

If you need some tips on ensuring your current Dyson V7 Motorhead vacuum is working as well as it should be, we can support with this.

But if the time has come to find a suitable replacement, this is also something we’d be happy to help you with! To help us narrow down the selection - 

  • Appreciate you don’t have pets or children around - please can you let us know if you have more hard or carpeted floors, or an equal mixture of both?
  • Also, do you think you’d prefer a machine with a higher capacity suitable for bigger cleans in a larger home, or something more lightweight and compact?

We’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks Jack

 

Mostly low carpet not heavy pile and just the hallway is hard floor so no big deal. V7 coped with both

 

We would prefer a more lightweight and compact model as it's not a huge house. The V7 was perfect in that respect

 

The prospect of something more powerful is attractive as I suspect the more modern models are
