No return to other vacs once you’ve used this!

Navy carpet is so difficult to keep looking clean with other vacuums, but the Dyson v11 is simply amazing and easy!! The charge is very good too, better than v10 which we bought at almost the same time for a different house.

Love, love, love !!!

I am in love with this vacuum ! I can’t believe the fine dust that is coming out of my carpets. My carpets almost look like they have been dry cleaned. It was expensive and I had to think for some time about this purchase as I was underwhelmed by my previous Dyson stick vac (V5 Animal), but it has been worth the money .

I never knew vacuuming could be so easy.

published

I have dark hard wood floors, and as you can imagine with 3 kids you can see every scrap of dirt. Everyone of my friends always raved about their Dyson but my husband always thought there were better ways to spend money. I finally gathered enough money to buy myself one this year. its so light and so easy to use, the different heads make vacuuming the rugs a breeze. it honestly the best vacuum cleaner I have ever had.

Best purchase!

I absolutely love my Dyson v11. It’s rather expensive so I was unsure at the beginning and it took a month or two to take the leap and make the purchase but I’m so glad I did and wish i did it sooner! The suction is amazing. I have a bad back and I don’t get pain vacuuming like I did with my old VAX vacuum. The battery life is great, I haven’t yet mounted the brackets to my wall because I’m in a rental but it’s still easy to charge without it. It comes with so many attachments which makes cleaning my car so easy. It looks great, isn’t heavy. It’s definitely well worth the price!

It's absolutely worth it.

published

We bought this v11 Absolute whilst on special offered by eBay Plus via Bing Lee. Delivery was quick. Have been using it for nearly months now and we are with it. We use it on tiled floor, window frames and cleaning car interior. The battery juice is about the same as advertised by Dyson but it depends on how you use it. The suction power is acceptable but of course it can't match electric powered unit.
So all in all, this is a recommended cordless vacuum for households and car cleaning.

The Perfect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

published

This has to be the best vacuum cleaner that I have bought from Dyson...I have bought other models but the V11 is amazing...Easy to carry up and down stairs, has 3 power modes for mats, lino and carpet...easier to clean...the filter is located on the top so a quick clean after each vacuum ensures the machine works at it's best capacity...I know I paid over $1000 for it but it is worth every cent...

Absolute time saver. Easier access than the corded vacuum, floor head adjusts automatically from hard floor to carpets.

Wood & tiled floors; cleans thoroughly, eliminating sand, hair, crumbs, bird seed etc with ease.
Carpets: gives a good deep clean- I couldn’t believe the dust in the canister after my first try with this vacuum & our carpets are only a few years old!

Amazing

published

I have tiled floors with rugs throughout. I have a German Shepard which you can imagine all the hair left behind daily. This vac is amazing, quick to use & easy to handle. The suction is so intense that it will pick up the mats while vacuuming. Can complete the whole house on the medium suction with out recharging.
Wonderful.

I use my Dyson V11 Absolute on Ceramic Tiles and carpet. I bought it as I already had a Dyson but found that the V11 Absolute was more user friendly from being cordless.

Great product and excellent value for money

We had an old Dyson DC35 vacuum and thought it is time to upgrade to V11 Absolute. The product has super strong suction. We use it both on our carpet and timber floor. The LCD screen display is handy and it is super easy to use. High recommended!

Questions & Answers

Kirsty P.

Kirsty P.asked

V11 Absolute

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?

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.

V11 Absolute

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!
