It's amazing?!

I use this cleaner to clean my carpet, It leaves the carpet very clean it's like I cleaned it with shampoo. It removes hair and dirt. I would recommend this carpet to anyone living in a house or apartment with carpet. The price is so worth it

Life Changing

published

This vacuum has been an absolute dream. I have had it for about 2 months now and the love has not faded. Purchased for double story house with floorboards tiles carpet and rugs. It does not skip a beat. I have actually made use of most of the attachments which are great. Initially I thought the battery life would not be enough but I can do the whole house with minutes to spare. Great for stairs too. Easy to clean, easy to empty the waste, easy to charge. One thing to make note of is the weight, perfectly fine for me to do my house, even the children have a go ( not the whole house unfortunately) but it can be heavy for week wrist people.
Highly recommended!!!

Exactly what we were looking for

published

We desperately needed a cordless vacuum, looked at several different brands and even got the kids to test out in the shops. They Dyson Absolute Pro was light enough and easy for the kids to manoeuvre. Charges well, kids are able to take turns doing seperate rooms .. winning

Makes life easy

Am blown away by this V11 vacuum. I didn't realise how much dust was hiding in our carpet until now. I also love how it tells you the location of a blockage, this can be so frustrating! Cant fault this machine.

published

Was a very pleasant surprise I gave my wife . Ann is very happy with having not to roll out the barrel dyson even when I vaccumn the corded one was a nuscence having to change power points around the house . It :s areal pleasure to go from Tile to Carpet to Cork Tiles with the same head . It has a very strong suction our carpets have looked so good even sucks up our dog hair around the house. Makes my life happier all-round.

Best rechargeable stick vacuum by far!

published

Works very well on both hard floors and carpets. With all the tools I got, I can vacuum the car as well. The extendable crevice tool is great. Would have liked a free standing charging station but I was able to mount the V11 on the same wall charger as the V7 which I sold.

Great for all around the house

published

I use mine all over the house.
The kitchen has a wooden floor, the bathroom is tiled and the rest of the house is carpeted. Some room also have rugs on top of the carpet. Short and long pile.
The vacuum does a perfect job on all the surfaces in the house as the vacuum adjusts to the different level.
Another great thing about this vacuum is that it has an attachment for doing you mattresses. Oh how good is that. I do the mattresses once a month and that way I have a peace of mind that there is no dust mites handing around.
I am so happy with my vacuum. The price was a little steep but it was worth it. Quality is more important then price.
I would recommend this brand to anyone with a 10 out of 10 rating.

The best vacuum i’ve ever used

published

The best vacuum I’ve ever had. Have replaced my 2400 watt machine with the Dyson. Was amazed by the sand it picked up on carpets. No longer lugging around a heavy vacuum. A pleasure to use and much quicker to clean floors.

Premium price premium performance

published

This is my first cordless vacuum and decided to go all out for the premium one. To begin with the build is absolutely fantastic and meets what one would expect from Dyson. Though the pro version comes with plenty of accessories I have been pretty much satisfied with the performance of the torque head.

The entire house is carpeted sans the kitchen and am absolutely blown by the amount of dust this vacuum picks up. The V11 with its improved battery capacity and bigger bin size makes it ideal for a moderate 2BHK house.

Now some cons, it is heavy. Your wrists will get a good workout and you will probably have to take one or two breaks in a long session. The increased battery capacity adds to the battery weight and thus making it heavier.

A good improvement - performs well

published

I upgraded from a V6, the increased bin, battery and suction control make it a very good stick vac.
I can now do my entire house on one charge and without emptying the bin. I found the crevice tool works better on full suction, whereas medium is adequate for my vinyl plank floor.

I’m so impressed with the new @Dyson V11!!
an absolute game changer. You can literally use the same head throughout your house and it changes the power and suction accordingly.

This has been a game changer for us!

published

We LOVE our Dyson V11. We use it on carpet, rugs, tiles & floorboards. It adjust itself to what powel level it needs, depending on what floor surface it’s on, so as to save your battery power! I’ve used this on my floors, lounges & mattresses and have been thrilled with the results!

The new technology is phenomenal and I’d recommend everyone purchase the V11

Best vacuum cleaner ever!

published

Love the V11 Absolute Pro! Perfect for hard and soft surfaces, mattresses and lounges, and the long-life battery doesn’t run out even when vacuuming our whole house (which is largish at 45 squares). The stick is lightweight, easy to maneuver and the suction doesn’t lose power. Hands down our new fave household appliance!

Questions & Answers

Laraine Anne B.asked

V11 Absolute Pro

I'm just surprised that on the Dyson web site it says this vacuum will run for up to 60 minutes on a full charge. It takes an hour and a half to properly vacuum an average 3-bedroom home. I have four bedrooms and it certainly takes me this long.

Hmm I would say that it’s 60 minutes on Eco mode (low power). What it does really well is automatically ups the power when transitioning from tiles/wood to carpet - my 4 bedroom place takes probably 20-30 minutes with this but probably 40-50 with a regular taking into account pulling it behind me, switching power points etc.

Laraine Anne B.
Laraine Anne B.

I don't pull a heavy vac behind me or continually unplug and plug in. I have a central vacuuming system. But most people don't vacuum properly. You have to take it SLOWLY to allow the machine time to pick up the deep-down dust in the carpet, which is why it should take an hour and a half to vaccuum an average home. Most people use a vacuum like a scrubbing machine. If you follow the present fashion of clattery bare floorboards it probably doesn't take as long, of course.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Laraine Anne B.

The V11 has three modes of suction: Boost, Auto/Med and Eco.

The run time these modes provide depends on the floor surface you're cleaning and, whether the tool selected is motorised or unmotorised.

Boost mode provides 5-10 minutes of run time, Auto/Med mode gives approximately 18-40 minutes of run time, and Eco offering a run time of up to 60 minutes with a non-motorised head.

You can find a video explaining these modes and how to switch between them here: https://youtu.be/Sk7C9sYn-Mk?t=29
