Our Verdict

Dyson V7

Dyson Omni-glide

The Dyson V7 and Dyson Omni-glide suit different uses. The V7 delivers better performance on bare floors and is great on carpets. It also comes with a much wider variety of tools, including a hard bristle brush and a turbo brush. On the other hand, the Omni-glide is much more maneuverable and has a significantly better battery performance since its battery is removable and comes with a charging dock. However, it's not intended for cleaning carpets, and its performance on bare floors is only passable.
