Our Verdict

Dyson V7

Dyson V12 Detect Slim

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is better than the Dyson V7. The V12 has a far more powerful suction motor and delivers correspondingly stronger performance on bare floors and high-pile carpets. The V12 is also easier to maneuver, comes with more attachments, has fewer parts needing to be cleaned periodically, and has a longer overall battery life. Unlike the V7, it can also automatically increase its suction power on carpets or whenever it encounters an area with a high concentration of debris. Conversely, the V7 has a larger dirt compartment.
