Hi guys, would be so nice and useful if you tell us why is that reaction about that vacuum. I was about to by one but now you made hesitate and l'd appreciate so much to know as much opinions as possible before I make the move. Thanx

[@Gregi76]

@@mattchowbeach I got mine today. And I totally agree that it's amazing! Why? Because it picks up so much dust and hair from my carpet even on eco mode that I cannot imagine where it comes from. I had a quite old corded Dyson and probably it will replace even that one. I have more hard floors than carpets and have 2 cats as well. The area to be cleaned is about 200m2 and it will handle the whole thing in one charge, since I don't have too much carpets. So this is my first experiences.

[@PrinceBarin77]

Joe Beach Highly convenient but also effective as a full scale vacuum cleaner. I wouldn’t replace my standup rotary but for 80% of the time, I can just grab this off the wall mount and quickly clean the kitchen floor, a bedroom etc in less than a minute and I’m done. No need to drag it from a closet, unfurl and plug in or lug it around. The dyson is super light and therefore fast to use. Great suction and a rotary head. Sold.

My wife and I used to make fun of Dyson ads. They sounded like they were trying to be Apple. But that all went away after we plunked down $400 and got one. It is STUNNING how much our V8 sucks up. Especially the really fine dust. The light weight and cordlessness really makes you want to vacuum more often. It's so effortless. Best $400 we ever spent!

[@pikay6360]

Using V11 in weekly church cleaning with elderly people here are additional flaws: 1) removal of the long stick prior to emptying the bin requires nimble fingers and high dexterity. It requires a precise holding angle to minimize friction, however due to a high weight of the vacuum this is quite difficult to achieve. It is even more difficult to insert the stick back as it requires precise alignment at precise holding position. A mission impossible for elderly people. A solution could be a tapered male insert (as in the old classic vacuum cleaners) with ring contacts on the perimeter so that no alignment is necessary, just insert and push in. 2) The vacuum airflow blocks frequently. The problem is that the air passage narrows at the exit into the bin, which is the Achilles heel of this vacuum. Larger items can be sucked in but as the passage narrows, they get stuck. Clearing of the narrow exit inside the bin is extremely difficult. Solution - have the smallest passage at the entrance of the airflow. Alternatively make the small exit hole on an detachable piece for easy cleaning. 3) The power button requires to be constantly held in in position. Watching elderly people using the vacuum, it is noticeable how they struggle to keep the power switch on all the time. The vacuum cleaner keeps switching on and off even few times per second. 4) Fragile bin. I am expecting, in the process of emptying, the bin to be dropped and broken quite regularly. Solution - make the bin from flexible plastic which doesn't brake on impact.

[@VacuumWars]

Good input! thank you for sharing!

[@Fat_Catt]

Spot on with these flaws. I’ve owned it for 6 months and the newest version has the same problems. I never noticed how annoying it is to constantly hold the power button down while cleaning until you brought it up.

[@coralie288]

You should look up for the trigger locks sold online if holding the trigger is an issue. :)

[@MrDochorrible]

I purchased the v11 after reading & watching tons of reviews. Your reviews were the most useful, so thank you for that. I use ours nearly every day. Having the power of a full upright in a portable setup means I'm vacuuming far more often and our messy house (we have two toddlers and two cats) is significantly cleaner. The amount of gunk it pulls out of our carpets is impressive / super gross. Our previous dyson lasted about 12 years before it kicked the bucket, and I'm hoping this model has similar longevity (battery replacement aside).

[@alyahamzah1952]

Im keen to get the V11 but my current dyson (10 years old) is still working very well.

[@mraeece]

alya hamzah alya the v11 is on offer right now. The v11 absolute is 499 with Dyson. That’s a 100 pounds off and you get a free wand and there’s a promotion to spread the cost over 12 months with 0 interest using PayPal credit. Best time to get one

[@Amerigo_Vespucci]

@@alyahamzah1952 Mine died after 4 month of fairly light use. More than likely they are cheaping out on quality parts and to increase profit margin using garbage components

[@baratrion]

Now I understand the battery life in use is quite impressive with this machine but I'm more worried about the battery health of V11 after years of moderate usage. I've seen a lot of negative reviews batteries dying even in less than year for previous models I'm curious to hear from people using it more than a year for long time durability of V11's batteries.

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

baratrion I Don’t know if this helpful, but I’ll share anyway. I have had my V7 for two years now, and the battery still works as well as it did the day I bought it. I ‘m very happy with it and plan to get a V11 soon. Absolutely no problems with mine whatsoever.

[@Steamrick]

I've bought the V11 as my first standalone cordless thanks in no small part due to the reviews here. They're absolutely the best vacuum reviews I've found, with all the measurements I care about available. My home is much cleaner now not only due to the much better performance compared to the old vacuum I inherited from my mom when I moved out, but mainly because getting the cordless out of its charging station and sucking up whatever spec of dirt I've found is just so much quicker and easier compared to the corded vacuum. It removes that 'but I don't want to bother' barrier.

[@am1d]

but do you really need Dyson for that though? How about a Philips?

[@Steamrick]

@@am1d Do I really need a vacuum at all, if you get down to it? A broom would work, too.

[@nganina]

For what it's worth, I bought mine in the spring of 2022 from Costco. It's a nice machine, we use it several times a week on floors, rugs, furniture and even coverlet blankets (when dog sheds). With all these cordless, I highly recommend having a bagged HEPA vacuum (like a Miele) for regular deep cleans. Our house is vacuumed with a corded/bagged vacuum twice a month by a cleaning service. I basically used the Dyson exclusively between cleaning services. It's amazing for a quick vacuum and absolutely a MONSTER for cleaning pet hair (if you have a longer coated dog, e.g. husky, you mileage may vary, but it's perfect from medium to short coated dogs).

[@VacuumWars]

Cool feedback! Thank you!

[@Capstonetoy]

Went to a local pallet resell store that just opened and they were just putting one of these out as I walked in. I asked the guy how much he wanted for it and he looked it up online. He said he does half of retail. I don’t know what model he looked up but he said $220. No hesitation I took it. It was brand new without the box. I love this thing. I’ve had from the v5-v8 and this thing is light years ahead. Love telling people that I got it for less than half of retail!

[@VacuumWars]

That's great!

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

I own a V11 and love it ... except for two things: 1) Dyson needs a trigger that can be set to “on” so that you don’t have to keep pressing it 2) I took out the top filter that you can wet and wash... washed it and let it dry for what I thought was almost 24 hours. Long story short, it wasn’t 100% dry and INSTANTLY broke the machine. Dyson was amazing and instantly sent me a new spare filter AND a whole new V11

[@gabileja2351]

I washed the filter about a couple days ago and now when I went to use it today the screen would not turn on and nothing happened when I used the trigger. Is this what happened to you? And I cannot contact Dyson due to coronavirus shutting their help centers down.

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Gabi Leja yes that’s exactly what happened to me. There can’t be a single drop of water or it ruins the whole thing. You should still be able to contact them.. mine was during the pandemic too and they had reduced staff but were still there. They will have you return your machine (they provide postage) then will send you a brand new machine. They even sent me a spare top filter, free of charge. That way I can swap them out when one is wet

[@novainvicta]

As an engineer and a person that has owned multiple Dyson floor cleaners my biggest gripe is the tool change. Sometimes dust gets between the two surfaces and makes taking a tool off difficult. I think Dyson should look at the tool change being a cone shape so as you pull away you have less surface resistance.

[@chuckbrown8344]

I've used paraffin on the connection making it easier to remove.

[@Mortthemoose]

I've recently bought the v12, but am not happy with a few aspects of it. Plus, tonight, the red fabric strip peeled off the small pet hair head! Not good, considering I've only used it for a total of 1 hour 10 mins! What worries me, is your type of comment ie. "A person that has owned multiple Dysons". I see that written all the time, and I don't understand why people have owned "multiple" Dysons. That, to me, would suggest that they fail after a year or two!!! I've bought mine out of necessity, as I'm disabled with chronic illness/pain, and can't use my 13 yr old Meile much any more. I can't afford to get replacing it every 1-2 years though!

Robots just aren't going to be able to pack all of the power and features in that the big fancy vacuums he uses do. Robots are great for everyday maintenance, but not a deep clean.

[@PaulBelkin]

We got the V11 Outsize model and its the best overall vacuum ever. This one replaced the Dyson canister which we hated. No power head, lugging it around with a cord. When I got the V11 there was a special to get an additional $40 worth of tools, which is good, but the charging base only holds 2 of the 15 tools we got with it. It would be nice if Dyson included a bag to store them, or have a better charging base to hold more than 2. When I bought it my wife was not happy thinking its just another Dyson. Now after using it for a few months, she loves, loves, loves it. Easy to use and empty. Easy to clean filter, not like the sharks that have 4 filters. Very satisfied.

[@AMGPilot]

I recently bought a V11 Torque Drive on sale at QVC with the 9 attachments. The V11 Torque Drive (Since Spring of 2020) now comes with a removable battery just like the V11 Outsize, in fact it is the same battery. I purchased a spare battery from Dyson and now I will never run out of battery power when vacuuming with my new V11 Torque Drive!! I really love it! It is by far the best vacuum I have ever owned. If you take care of it, there is no reason this shouldn't last for many many years. Thanks for all of the great reviews that you perform for all of our enjoyment 😎

In March, I adopted a dog. In April, I bought a bunch of rugs so my gal can safely get her zoomies out. In May, the vet told me she still had fleas from the shelter and to vacuum and wash EVERYTHING. While I wish I had seen the original video before buying the v11 (animal... because my dog is, in fact, an animal ;) ), several months later I'm stumbling across this review relieved. I know it was a huge financial gamble, but I vacuum like 20x as often as I used to, and I am still amazed at how much this thing picks up. Still picking up the loose fibers from the new rugs months later! Even had a visit from my step mom who has pretty rough allergies. Between the dog and my wool and down couch, I was concerned about her comfort. She even commented on how she was not bothered at all!

[@themizfam4]

Thank you SO much for your reviews. You really helped me make a very hard decision. The V11 torque is THE BEST vacuum I have ever used.

[@degeneraturat]

I bought one after Your review, so similar age. + Great suction, first day, when i cleaned the small carpet, I pulled 3 full loads of sand, dust and other trash. That showed how powerful it is comparing to other machines. + It is so good and powerful, that I'm using it as main and only vacuum in house. + very easy to empty + Great filtration It is so strong, that I lost 2 phone chargers. It can suck end of cord, and by torque cylinder just pull isolation out of it. - very, very delicate plastic. My roller is cracked because of some debris was sucked and hit rolling brush's core. It works, but it's cracked, so I believe next time it brakes. - terrible air output. I'm trying to use it to dust some areas of house, but air going out of the device is blowing directly on surfaces I'm going to vacuum, so it makes dust clouds before i can suck them - my wife hates it because of the button You have to constantly keep pushed, so I'm the only one that vacuum whole home :D - my dog hate it really bad, other vacuums were fine for her ;) Soft roller, I used it like two times, Overall, very satisfied, I'm glad that I bought this, not robot. It's easy to use, very good filtration, sucks almost everting. So once again thank You very much for initial review that helped me to buy this great piece of engineering.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

I’ve had a v11 for a little over a year. It works pretty good, but it’s def not perfect. I got it mainly for my dogs hair that gets everywhere. It picks it up fairly well, problem is, the hair constantly clogs the vacuum. You almost need to clean and clear out the canister every time you vacuum to make sure it will work. If they would make the hole where the debris gets into the canister a little bit bigger, it would work better and not clog often. It happens almost every time I use boost mode on my rug. As soon as I start boost mode I will always get a message on the vacuum saying “clean this or airway is being blocked”. Sometimes the brush head just won’t spin too, also, the first like 2 weeks I had it I washed the filter just to test it out. Well, I washed it and put it back on and tried to vacuum. As soon as I pulled the handles trigger to start, the Dyson immediately shut off and wouldn’t work. Ended up calling customer service and the guy said when I did that, it sucked up all the moisture right to the electronics snd fried the thing. I had to get a replacement v11 and now I use two filters. Wash one and put the other one on. You have to make sure it’s dry before you out it back. It’s a stupid design flaw. I still like the v11, but it wasn’t worth the price tag. Few hundred bucks less and I’d recommend it

[@jimbeaux89]

Sounds frustrating at that price point. I would’ve returned it for sure

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

I have saved up for the V11 Absolute Torque drive for 6 months and bought it last week. It is truly excellent! I allready owned the V7 Animal, but due to the battery pack, which is empty fast, I only used it for some parts of the house. This V11 is much much better, also because the display shows me the remaining time left on the battery. So there is less stress hurry to finish the job. I now vacume almost every day (got also 2 dogs and a cat, and a fabric couch, so you can imagine there is a lot of hair involved). It's a bit more bulky and heavy in comparison to the V7, but overall that is not a problem if you don't have issues on your joints/hands and what have you. The first time I used it, I was up very early in the morning; the eco-part is not loud, so everyone can sleep ;)) I was vacuming for about 20-25 minutes and had to empty the dustbin multiple times, because the deep cleaning is very very good.

[@joed1557]

I love my past and current Dysons, having said that I don't know why I'm just coming across your youtube videos now. Thanks for posting these very helpful reviews and videos for all of us here at the Dyson fan club. I just upgraded to V11 from V10 and just fell in love all over again.

Love my V11. The battery advantage over all other cordless vacuums is enough to warrant the price for me. Never had an issue with battery life and the cleaning power is amazing.

[@ksong1496]

I have V8 for about two years, and pretty satisfied. V11 should be more powerful, but I don't think I need that much power. So I think I will stay with it for a while. But... I highly doubt '15 years' of battery life. That's probably 'if you charge only once a week'. People usually charge cell phones once a day, and it lasts roughly 2 years before the capacity significantly drops. Multiply that by 7, you get roughly 15 years. I am using V8 almost everyday, and the battery life is already not as good as new. I don't worry too much about it, as if it gets bad, I will probably modify it to take my tool batteries (V8 has 6 cells in series while tool batteries have 5 cells, but shouldn't make a big problem). But if anyone is really expecting 15 years, probably that person will be disappointed. Even if the battery fails in few years, that's already beyond warranty period, and Dyson has no obligation about that matter. I do not trust any words from companies that they have no obligation. If they really want to 'promise', they have put 15 year warranty on batteries.

Great stuff, as always. I bought mine long ago after watching one of your first reviews. I’ve had to get it replaced twice because after a couple of months of use, the motor just didn’t work. Have to say Dyson customer service was fantastic, very cordial and helpful. Got replacement units on each occasion and am on my third now. This has been going good longer than the other two. However, I do notice that on this one, consistently all dirt and debris go past the rubber sealant on the bin collector and into the filtration unit. This has led to error messages saying filter pathways are clogged. I’m now wondering if I should just get my money back. Every single thing you said is true. It’s the BEST vacuum I’ve ever seen and used but a pity that one niggling issue or the other keeps popping up. A part of me doesn’t want to give it up while the other is concerned what happens once warranty ends and something or the other keeps failing. Have you seen these as well?

We have a Dyson V10 and after about a year and a half it started to have performance issues. I called Dyson the first time and they said to call back and they would send a free air filter if the problem persisted. I dealt with it for a few more months and was ready to just ask for the free air filter even though I did not think that would fix it, but figured it could not hurt. I called customer service and we did some very quick troubleshooting. After that they said we will just send you a brand new unit! Even though I had problems with our Dyson I still would have recommend it, but after what they did for me I am an even bigger fan of Dyson!

[@Robonza]

Good video. As someone that has fixed a lot of V11's There are three weak points 1) The red trigger button snaps a lot and that is very expensive outside of warranty as they sell a whole new body. It is a design fault. Only the V10 and V11 have this problem. 2) The bin runner breaks so the bin will fall off when emptying. This happens a lot but the fix is pretty easy. 3) The cyclone is easy to clog by overfilling, but I love this feature as I can charge a lot of labour and not use any parts.

I worked quite a bit in vacuum repair (not anymore) and did service Dysons. The battery is easy to change, only one screw. I can't speak for the V11 batteries, but i can assure you v6-10 batteries don't last 15 years. You're lucky if you get five out of them.

[@joc7996]

Hi, I hope you get to see this message. I have never used a cordless vacuum cleaner. But I am considering buying one. Are the batteries easily replaced?

I just purchased my V11 on Black Friday. I got a great deal and I am pleased with the performance. This is my 3rd Dyson.

[@ltwlof4967]

i got the v10 absolute and after a few months we got the v11 pro because it was bigger and gave the v10 to my parents who said we were stupid for getting a crappy stick vacuum. they now love it and regret dismissing the vacuum. they now use there old dyson ball vac for the pet areas only and the v10 for inside areas

No, not tape.. that will get all sticky and yukky!

(Probably the best way) Pictures: www.google.com/search?q=velcro+cable+tidy&tbm=isch B) TWISTY CABLE ORGANISER - need a fairly large one, there are various other styles. Also sold to hold garden plants to stakes. Pictures: www.google.com/search?q=cable+twist+clip&tbm=isch C) ELASTIC HAIR TIE (ponytail bobble) - to make these work you need the ones with a ball or decoration, so it can slip through and lock into the elastic loop.

Vacuum Wars: You sir, make truly excellent review videos. Bravo. :D

[@bgrzesiak5996]

We're picky and have 13, multiple $1000K Persian rugs in our house. I thought the V7 we received from Subaru as a gift was pretty good. I stopped using my Filter Queen which I"ve had for decades. The V11 blows (or sucks) the V7 away. I get the FINEST dust out of these rugs I had no idea were there. I thought the Filter Queen was the best. Well, it WAS...in the 60's - 2000's. IT's so powerful, I can only use it on ECO on the rugs. The suction is so strong it'll stop the roller on these wool/silk rugs. The rugs actually FELT better underfoot after a couple of vacuums. It ain't cheap, but it's well worth it.

[@JustGoAdventure]

I bought this last year to replace my Electrolux canister vac. What a difference. LOVE this vac. It sucked up so much crud from my carpets, I was SHOCKED! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so pet hair is an issue. I thought my carpet was clean, then I used this vac, OMG..I had to empty it 3 times. It was FULL of hair and dirt. All these years I thought my Electrolux was doing a good job..not! Also, it’s so nice to not drag a vacuum around, banging into walls and chairs.

[@VacuumWars]

That's great!

[@MariaRamos-tf8ws]

I purchased this two days ago it’ll be here on Friday! I did not discuss it with my husband before purchasing because YOU told me it’s the BEST vacuum out there. I’ve watched this video 10 times to make myself feel better but skip the cons because I get nauseous.

[@Acheiropoietos]

Very well structured review. A pleasure to listen to and watch.

[@samcha9448]

As soon as I held the motor, I knew I had to return it. It’s too heavy! I have relatively weak arms and wrists but am used to cleaning and vacuuming weekly. I have a whole house vacuum system, and the device is pretty light, but the tubing is clunky and doesn’t handle well. I thought this vacuum would be much easier to use, but the weight is significantly more than what I am used to.

[@Vampyiere]

Have you checked oput the miele triflex hx1?

[@suew5659]

Thanks for your comment. I have to consider weight because of a weak wrist that hurts when stressed with weight or twisting.

[@samcha9448]

Update, my mom bought this vacuum. It isn’t as heavy as I initially thought. She’s weaker than I am and uses it to clean, so maybe it’s ok.

[@FutureSystem738]

I’ve had one for quite some time now and LOVE it. Whilst (ridiculously) expensive, it is indeed great. We have a dog who’s as good as a toddler at making messes, a large house, lots of both hard floor and carpet, and it mostly does a terrific job. Great review!

[@salukispeed93]

I’ve owned the v11 for about two years. It works well BUT I’ve already had to replace the beater head and the trigger failed on my. This is not ok for a vacuum that’s only 2 years old.

[@adisharr]

$ 650 w/ no LED's and a trigger you have to hold in? Come on Dyson..

[@KoffieMoffie]

I will never buy anything made by Dyson again. To get my cordless vacuum cleaner repaired is a total nightmare because the service centre keeps no stock of parts. So every time it takes at least 2 months for something as simple as replacing a battery. Expensive to but initially, expensive to repair and this year it has been out of service for 16 weeks. Costly crap.

[@karenpierce6424]

Exactly! And I had the same experience with an upright. I finally threw it out and then someone gifted me one of their portables. I don't want to seem ungrateful; however I wish I would have never even taken it out of the box and just simply trashed it! Vacs are supposed to make your life easier. Dysons cause so much stress and anxiety, they're not even worth trying or using if someone gifts them to you!

[@sandradennis8548]

Ian Bromley Ian I have a V11 for about 18 months now. I had a problem with my filter last month and called company. They sent me a new filter part free and I received the part within 10 days. I am in Canada and just call the number on the machine. It is my second dyson cordless. My first one lasted about 4 years and I called and bought the V11 on cyber Monday last year and received discount because it I had 2 other dyson products. Love dealing with dyson and live their products.

[@LazerQip]

@@karenpierce6424 Are there any specific vacs you'd recommend over dyson?

[@karenpierce6424]

@@LazerQip Bagged vacs are much better than bagless and last much longer . I love Oreck. They're full size and only weigh 8 to 10 pounds and come with an extra long cord. My favorite model is the commercial ones, which also are the cheapest ones. Do your research and order from Amazon because they're cheaper off Amazon. Look for two-speed or self-adjusting speeds and heavy duty beater bar and belt. Good luck.

[@Royalbigness]

I have the V10 Absolute plus and I couldn't be happier. We have all hard floors at our place and NO carpet and it performs brilliantly. The V11 is more for carpeted houses where the slightly extra suction can be useful otherwise, the V10 is still the best bang for buck at the present time.

[@myusrngml]

I have a v11 and the plastic that the circular disks covering the elbow screw into broke and so they both fell off. Have you seen that before and know of any fix? Dyson sells replacement disks which are of no use given the plastic they screw into on the torque head's elbow are broke off.

[@davem6442]

Have had the V11 Torque drive for just under two years before trigger started to jam. Bought the new trigger from Amazon . When I took the unit apart I found the switch assembly mount screw plastic had crumbled as have two of the mounting points for the motor. The issues it looks like are all related to that. Now I know why a leading consumer publication has removed Dyson from recommended status. I contacted Dyson and couldn't buy the part myself, was directed to ship the vacuum for repair or take it to a repair facility. Looks like they don't want anyone DIY fixing them. I've epoxy repaired the mounting points and will see how long that lasts. Now I also know why they only warranty this model for a year.

I agree with you on just about all points made. I've had it now for about 3 months and I also bought the Tineco (latest vacuum) and the Dyson is a superior product. I wish a 2nd battery and the soft roller were cheaper!

[@vincentrobinette1507]

For me, an easily replaceable battery is a must, not because of degradation, but, just like any other power tool, it would be handy to just swap out the battery, and keep vacuuming. I don't want to have to vacuum half the house one day, charge the battery, to vacuum the other half the following day. When I'm expecting company, it would be nice to just have the available battery capacity to get it done in one job. That would also solve the problem with weight. Some people prefer changing the battery more frequently, to not have to hold a heavy battery for a long time. I consider The Dyson V-10 and V-11 to be cordless power tools! They just serve a different purpose, than a saw, or a drill.(The "fluffy" power nozzle would be a major selling point for me, since I also have simulated hard wood floors)

[@Aquilanis]

you should try xiaomi dreame v11 which is dubbed as its competitor!

[@fortunatedad7695]

I still can't justify paying $900 when it uses a battery which inevitably will die and most likely will not have replacements available when you need it as they are always coming out with newer models. Ya right 15 years, that probably means it will be still run but not as long as a person would need. Battery's only last so long. I'd rather put that towards a plug in vacuum that will last alot longer.

[@uzaiyaro]

The battery on the v7 is replaced with about 4 screws and 5 minutes of time, l and there are some new models here (not sure if v11 or not) but they have interchangeable batteries, like a power tool. Honestly I wouldn't worry about the battery longevity. The cells they pick are very conservative in capacity, so they're made to last. Even if they weren't, like I said, it's not a big deal to replace them, not even slightly.

[@rheamarks]

My Dyson battery died after 1yr. When I called Dyson, they told me the battery to my cordless vacuum only had an expectancy of 2yrs. Thank god it was still under warranty but now I’m iffy about buying another cordless Dyson vacuum.
