Worth every cent

published

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.

Great battery life and an excellent set of accessories

published

I purchased the absolute pro v11 from the Dyson website including all the accessories. I use the vacuum on my hardwood floor and tiles, and the two different heads are excellent for their respective purposes. The soft roller head is slightly smaller which allows me to navigate through my decorative posts. The accessories are very useful.

I upgraded from the v8 and the best part about this vacuum is its battery life. which is 3 times better than v8. My only complaint is that the v11 should have had a trigger that once clicked stays on instead of continuously pressing it with our finger. If you are vacuuming for a while your finger will start to hurt over time.

Excellent on carpets but...

published

This may just be my experience but the Torque Drive generally fairs really well on carpets and anything that gives a bit of friction but on hard surfaces such as tiles of wood it seems to knock the dirt away from the suction. Otherwise happy with my purchase.

So disappointed with the performance of the V11 torque head on my tile floors.

published

At times on my glossy tile floors it leaves a line of dirt which has been sucked to the back of the head and not even using turbo removes it.

I use this on floor boards, tiles and rugs in my place. Im very happy with it because its power and because of its weight and because of how convenient it is to clean and store away. Battery could be improved on thou.

Not impressed with the performance at all

published

We owned the upright Dyson and a handheld before this purchase. I decided to get a cordless for convenience as I need to vacuum daily. Thought the performance would be as good as the handheld, but it is not. It does not pick up the dirt well, at all, on carpet or rugs. I can literally see the dirt and it will not pick up even after having it on turbo and repeatedly going over the area. Having it on turbo also means a significantly reduced battery life. On tiles and linoleum it is fine. I would not buy one again even though it is really convenient. The style is good, performance is inadequate.

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.

New Dyson Have an Issue

published

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.

My machine failed after 2 months of light domestic use

My machine failed after 2 months of light domestic use. Am still awaiting replacement battery pack and charger. Dyson support stated they had no stock, which might indicate they are having issues. I expected more from the Dyson brand.

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.

Why did I wait so long?

published

Purchased this in July 2022 and got a deal including the docking stand.
This vacuum is everything I needed and more.
I haven't used many of the attachments, purely because the high torque cleaner head is smart enough to go from polished porcelain tiles to plush carpet and adjust the power as necessary.
Run time on a full charge is more than enough to get through my four bedroom house and I'm so happy with the vacuum- i'm actually disgusted in how much dust, cat hair and general debris I must have been missing before with my old corded Hoover machine.
I will never go back to any other vacuum again!

Lynleyasked

I have a Dyson v11 absolute and when I use the automatic head it makes the loudest vibrating rateling sounds eveyone thst hears it is in shock a Dyson makes such a loud noise . There is no blockage it does it on tiles and carpet and is almost to powerful evan on low! It chews up the dust and whatever is on the floor then spins and flicks it out the back

Take it to Dyson as this was the problem with ours. It’s the bracket disintegrating in the unit.

Lynley

Oh thank you! So do I call them and make a complaint and see where I send it to ? Did they service or replace the part?


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.

Sophasked

Hi, does anyone have an absolutely filthy filter EVEN BEFORE they use their vacuum? For example, when I wash the filter, and wait 24 hours and then put the filter back in, its filthy straight away. Without even vacuuming again! Anyone else?

3 answers
Paul
Paul

Hi Soph. It actually seems that way to me!! I wash the filter (As you do) - Leave it for 24 hours overnight (Same as you) and then use it for a VERY short time - and the filter is filthy. My last Dyson only needed the filter cleaned every 6 months or so. This one I basically HAVE to clean after each use - even if I had only used it for a very short period of time!! Don't bother sending it back for Service under Warranty - they will only change the filter - then send it back to you!!

Soph
Soph

I agree, my last Dyson filter I only changed once a year or something! This is crazy and I have no time for this. So what did you do to fix it?

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

This certainly isn't normal nor what we would expect. The filter should not be dirty as soon as you install it, or after a short period.

We would kindly ask you to forward your details to [email protected] and we will be happy to help.
