Simply perfect! Worth every penny
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
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
Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman for $1,200.00.

It’s ok. Not really worth the money.
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.

Thanks for your reply we actually returned it and got a full refund last week as it was over heating.

Dyson has done it again!
The new V11 Absolute does not disappoint! It is very powerful and quite lightweight for all that it is. We have a cat so we have a lot of fur around the home plus my long hair and I have to say, the V11 is impressive with sucking up the hair. The hair doesn't seem to get tangled on the rollers. We use this vacuum on tiles and also carpet, and it works perfectly. Some specs I love about it is: it's actually quiet and lightweight for how powerful it is, the timer display screen for each mode - this is my favourite part of the vacuum! We also got ...Read more
the cleaning kit with the vacuum and it has some amazing little tools - my favourite is the long one with the black rubber that can clean under the car seats. We upgraded the V11 from a Dyson DC44 Animal and it does not disappoint, Dyson's technology is continuously improving and will forever be a brand we will use and recommend, because the products always exceed our expectations and is definitely great value for the cost.Purchased in December 2021 at Dyson for $1,088.00.

Love it
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.

Fantastic Suction. Upgraded from V6.
I chose to go for the Dyson Absolute rather than the Torque as I have more carpets than hard flooring. The Torque only comes with one main head which is better for hard floors. Whereas the Absolute has 2 main heads, one for carpets and the other for hard floors.
PROS
- Set up was simple and inside the box you do get a generous number of attachments. At the time of writing, Dyson also had an offer for an extra cleaning pack which contains an extension, a curved piece for over the top of cupboards and a mattress cleaner - this I am looking forw...Read more

Good product
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.

Disappointed with the maintenance required for the Dyson V11 Absolute!!
I purchased a Dyson V11 Absolute on 26.4.2019. I have always been impressed with the Dyson Machines although the Price is something I'm not so sure about!! So I have had this machine now for approx 8 months. I noticed about 2 months ago that every time that I checked the filter on this machine - it basically needed cleaning. It was always fully covered with dust and needed cleaning. I thought to myself that this could not be right - that every time I used this machine - even if it was for 10-15 mins - that I needed to clean the filter. I eventu...Read more
ally contacted Dyson - explained the issue - and was sent a complimentary filter. Not sure how this was supposed to solve the issue but I guess a sign of good faith on the part of Dyson. The issue continued ..... I must say that I have a very clean house due to my OCD. I became sick and tired of having to clean the filter each time I used this machine, so I contacted Dyson again. It was arranged that I send my machine down to Dyson in Melbourne - which I did. I sent it last friday and received notification today (Thursday the following week) that it had been sent back to me. I received an Invoice (No cost due to Warranty) that indicated that the only part that had been changed was - you guessed it - the filter unit. It would therefore appear that the filter on this unit DOES need cleaning after every use - and this was NOT a fault. Very disappointed. If I had known this in advance, I would NOT have purchased it. Dyson - the Leader in Technology - leaves a lot to be desired!! I will NOT be purchasing Dyson latest technology anytime soon in the future ....... To waste a week sending it down to Dyson in Melbourne - only to be told that the filter needed changing (It had already been changed if Dyson had looked at my Online Account) - was the most disappointing outcome for a Loyal Dyson Customer (Now to be Ex-Customer) .....Purchased in April 2021 at Harvey Norman Appliances Physical Store for $1,199.00.

It certainly does sound unusual for the filter on the V11 to be loaded with dust regularly. Under normal use, we'd expect it need to be washed once every month or so.

Just an update for those interested!! I received a reply from Dyson this morning. They had attached a copy of the Technicians Report for my recent repair of my Dyson V11. It reads - " Fair condition. ... Read more
Found filter clogged/cyclone blocked with excess dirt/dust. Recommend to Customer to tap cyclone when emptying bin to ensure all dust falls out of cyclone". My V11 is in Excellent Condition - NOT Fair as described by the Technician. The filter that I sent with my V11 for repairs was the NEW filter that Dyson had sent me - It had only been used twice for a short period of time!! I empty my V11 after every use. It is always kept clean and tidy including the filter and bin. I have never come across a Company like Dyson that tries so, so hard not to replace a faulty vacuum when clearly there is something wrong with it!! So frustrating....... I will keep you informed!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Nice design
Purchased the Dyson V11 a few months ago. Very convenient to use makes me want to vacuum. After 3 20 minute sessions the power head died. I phoned service. After trouble shooting it was determined I needed a new power head. Was told that part was unavailable it would be 2 or 3 weeks and would be notified when it is available. And would have to contact them again. Waited 3 weeks and no notification so i phoned again and told to same thing. What i don't understand is why i have to wait for a notification of availability. Just send me one and noti...Read more
fy it's in the mail. When i questioned the service person about this i was basically told i just work here and don't make the rules. I'm sure eventually i will receive a new power head just not sure when.Purchased in August 2021 at visions for $1,000.00.

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
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.

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.

The Dyson Evolution Continues
In a brand new house, the newest Dyson does all the things it is supposed to do.
One of the biggest improvements, apart from the smaller motor with a bigger power and sucking capacity, is the attachment that can clean up hair and not get tangled and bound up by it; true to its word. This is from someone that has had other vacuum cleaners that have become choked with twirls of long hair. There are three power settings, with the obvious boost being just that, more power using more power, but it is still very efficient in all modes, and can go...Read more

Why have I waited so long!
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.

The Absolute is Absolutely perfect
I purchased this vacuum because I have had an accident which limits the use of my right hand and my Upright Dyson is now too heavy for me to use. The V11 really is a fantastic vacuum - I filled the bin on the first use despite having just vacuumed with my older Dyson. It is quite light and I can use it easily with my left hand - the only issue I have is that I struggle a bit to separate/join the wand to the attachments/head - I thought it was because of my bad hand but my daughter has difficulties as well. This small issue has been solved by...Read more
laying it down on a bed or table which makes it much easier. I have hybrid planks throughout my living areas and carpet to the bedrooms plus shag rugs and the V11 handles all surfaces extremely well. The battery generally just lasts long enough to do my whole house (approx. 230 sqm living area). The only way I think the V11 could be improved is by having a removable battery and come with a spare battery. The vacuum is also very quiet. This is my 3rd Dyson vacuum and I don't think I would ever buy any other brand. I highly recommend it.Purchased in June 2021 at Myer Online Store for $1,199.00.

Questions & Answers
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 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.
Gisasked
How well does the V11 Absolute work on carpet with a high pile?
3 answers
It feels as though it works better than my old vacuum for sure. Our carpets are fairly thick
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 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!
