Is The Dyson V11 Animal Still The Best Vacuum For Pets?

[@rceme74]

This is my second Dyson. The first one is now a camp vacuum. The Dyson 11 I bought was mainly for dog hair. As for your demo's the vacuum picked up everything pretty well. However, I have noticed it does not pick up the Dog hair as well as it did. I have changed everything but the rubber bumper on the power head. We clean our carpets 3 times a year with a professional carpet cleaner. We vacuum every day so the hair doesn't collect, but we have noticed lately there is still a fair amount of hair on the floors and carpets.

Dog hair might be a bit heavier. A cordless is fantastic for day to day cleaning, but nothing is going to beat corded vacuum with a good beater bar and strong suction for deep cleaning.

Nice video. I think the thing Dyson has over competitors is the multi-cyclones. But I am not personally a Dyson fan. I like the Shark Stratos line. I think I saw the Stratos did slightly better on pickup tests, with 100% on carpet. It's less expensive than Dyson, but I also realize there are Dyson fans and Shark fans, and "never the twain shall meet" lol! I always enjoy your videos and comedy 😂👍

We’re going to be reviewing that line VERY soon! Thanks so much for the comment

The Dyson V11 Animal doesn't have the LCD screen though 🤔 might be V11 but not sure it's the Animal... also says "Animal" on top of the main long piece that goes into the canister/motor unit (& power head at bottom). Didn't come with screw-shaped small motor attachment but the straight small power head attachment. Updated: after further research, this is 100% V11, not V11 Animal, sorry guys

I purchased this on 11/22/22 from Amazon. I have a receipt for V11 Animal. It was purchased renewed though, so perhaps that's why it's different. Either way, the screw shaped tool is superior to the mini brush tool and the anti-tangle head is much superior to the regular head for minimizing time spent pulling out hair.

@@vacuumnerds yeah it looks better, but even on Dyson site you can see this is the V11 model. Perhaps error in listing for you, but I've been on the phone w/them about my v11 Animal and can confirm the Animal model never had that cool tool nor the LCD. It's good to know the v11 is that good though!

[@vacuumnerds]

Thanks for the info. Yes, perhaps an Amazon listing error? Either way, it's an excellent vac and the screw style pet hair tool is better than the mini brush tool that came with my V10. I'll make an update post or short video to clarify

@@vacuumnerds It's kind of a plus for the regular v11 to know it has those added features and seems to be just as good on pet hair! 👍
