Simply perfect! Worth every penny

published

Bought Dyson V11 Absolute during 2022 Black Friday sales and can tell you it is worth every penny. Extremely easy to use, sleekly designed, powerful, reasonably quiet and much more.
I used it on tiled and carpeted floor as well as rug for all kinds of mess a 2-year-old can possibly make and the outcome was brilliant!
Battery life is excellent as I used it on Eco Mode for 36 minutes and the battery was still well above half. It is so easy to use that we clean the whole house 3 times more frequent than before.

Purchased in December 2021 at Bing Lee Online store for $888.00.

Expensive but very good

published

Let’s be honest, it is quite expensive and the filter at the rear requires regular cleaning
I still however stand behind the quality of the appliance and charge is more then enough for the regular home
The dog doesn’t mind using the small head on him too which sort of combines brushing and hair pickup

It’s ok. Not really worth the money.

published

We have vinyl, hardwood and carpet flooring in our home. I bought this in hopes of making it easier to clean up after my two toddlers, with the ease of not having to lug around a big vacuum plugged into the wall.
I find it extremely heavy, and you have to hold the lever on while you’re vacuuming, I liken it to holding a petrol pump on. I get cramps in my hand after two mins of vacuuming.
When on carpet mode it’s so powerful it just pulls the rug inside it but doesn’t actually pick up the crumbs.
I would prefer to use my $300 Electrolux. Not a fan.

Purchased in November 2021 at Harvey Norman.

We have tiles and floorboards. It performs great but does need frequent cleaning on the spinners. Battery life is fairly good for a small vacuum. Also very lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

Strong vacuum, well engineered. Using it an engineered floors mainly as its not super practical on my wooden carpeted areas given back capacity. A bit pricey for what it is but best in class from previous experience.

Worth every cent

We use our Dyson mainly on polished hardwood floors and it works great, handy and lightweight. Also great on fabric lounge. I was a sceptic when saw the price but its worth every cent. No mucking about with cords. Plenty of power.

Lightweight and powerful vacuum

published

This vacuum is much powerful than all other normal vacuum I got before and it does the jobs well especially on carpets.

And it's so light and portable that you can use it for car interior. And I like very much on their wall mount, can keep the vacuum easily and need after use.

Battery might be the only issue as it last not more than 20minutes but it's good enough for my house.

Purchased in June 2021.

Good cleaner from Dyson, fantastic build quality, battery time is great. Not so good: high torque cleaner head has a design flaw, lint is accumulating under the brush bar and very quickly (one or two weeks) blocks rotating head if went unnoticed.

Why have I waited so long!

published

Purchased the v11 absolute yesterday, WOW!! With 2 daughters having long hair this is a gem, the first use made carpets look new again. Love it! Highly recommend the v11, after spending a few hundred dollars every couple of years on lesser machines, I now understand what all the how was about when it comes to a dyson, expensive but well worth it.

Questions & Answers

Kirsty P.

Kirsty P.asked

Curious to why the V11 standing dock is unable to hold all the tools on the stand. What tool is suitable for the stand? I’ve found the smaller motorised head does not fit. When connecting the brush tools the brushes touch the stands pole which presses on the bristles alas the bristles get bent. Is this normal? Is it also normal for the stand to feel unsteady and if not what can be done to rectify this?

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

While the Dok is made of lighter materials, the base has been weighted to ensure it remains upright.

The tool storage clip for the wand of your machine can also be clipped onto the pole of the Dok. When clipped onto the pole of the Dok, it will be able to hold the Mini Soft Dusting Brush, as well as the Mini Motorised head, just insert them backwards (we would suggest the Mini Motorised head is on top).

We hope this helps, however our Dyson Experts are available via [email protected] if we can assist further.

How well does the V11 Absolute work on carpet with a high pile?

It feels as though it works better than my old vacuum for sure. Our carpets are fairly thick

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Most owners find that this machine vacuums thick rugs and carpets with ease, and here's why. When in Auto mode, the Dyson V11 Absolute™ intelligently detects resistance of the brush bar and automatically changes the motor speed for the floor surface, and the level of suction can also be adjusted manually on the Torque Drive head to best suit the surface.

Depends on how high, I have 70s shag carpet and it wont vacuum it.


Retail Enthusiast

Retail Enthusiastasked

When using the smaller attachments like the crevice or small brushes there is barely any suction power. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? For ‘the most powerful Dyson yet’ it seems to have woeful suction without one of the large powered heads. HELP!

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy with the suction power and certainly wouldn't anticipate you to have any problems with the performance of your machine.

If you haven't already, we would kindly ask you to get in touch with our Dyson Experts via [email protected] as we will only be happy to help.
