Dyson has, once again, taken vacuuming to a new level. The V11 is compact, light and manoeuvrable and comes with all the tools you could ever need. I already own a Dyson upright and handheld, but this new model does the job of both - only better.On opening the box, you see straight away that nothing has been compromised. Dyson uses first class materials for all its products and they put as much effort into design as they do to function. Who would have thought that a domestic essential like a vacuum cleaner could become a design icon? But that is what successive generations of Dysons have been. They each have an immediate aesthetic appeal and this one is no exception.The motor is ultra small and quiet and can be programmed by a simple push button on the top to work in one of three modes,depending on the level of power needed. In eco mode it is so quiet that even the dog didn’t flinch. On higher powers, the battery life is reduced, but a single charge is more than enough to clean the whole of my house.Moreover, it is so light and comfortable to use and the mini ball technology allows almost unlimited manoeuvrability and easy access under furniture and in spaces that are no go areas when using a larger vacuum cleaner. I have a back problem, so this is especially welcome.With the wand removed, the V11 becomes a powerful handheld and the tools connect straight to the motor housing. I really like the soft brush which is perfect for dusting my computer keyboard. It’s great for the car too.With the wand reattached, I tried the special hard floor head. This has brushes with a particularly soft, velvety texture, ensuring that expensive laminates and natural materials are not scratched. The main, motorised head can also be used for this job, as the stiffer brushes automatically adjust to different flooring types.For gadget fanatics like me there is even a little screen on the top of the motor where clever graphics give operating information, battery life, etc. Very neat!The V11 comes complete with a sturdy charging dock which can be screwed to the wall, keeping the vacuum handy, charged and always ready for use. Alternatively, you can connect the charger directly.If fitting the wall dock, you should remember to leave sufficient space so that the long tube can be left attached during storage and there are fixings to stash tools on the dock as well as a clip that fixes to the vacuum to enable selected attachments to be carried easily when cleaning around the house.Most importantly, the suction is excellent at all power settings. The dust collector is deceptively large - similar to the compact upright I already have - and emptying is really simple. Just hold over the bin, push a a sprung latch and you are done. No dust clouds and no mess. I am an asthmatic and this is a really well designed feature.Finally, for dog owners, the V11 is another faithful friend. It finds all the dog hairs I usually miss and effortlessly cleans up bedding etc.So, in summary, the V11 combines usual Dyson quality with superlative convenience and versatility in a compact, powerful package. I didn’t think I could be smitten by a vacuum cleaner, but I am with this one!

For many years I have used Dyson Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaners (the first being a DC03 and latterly, the DC33). Initially I was sceptical about how a cordless Dyson would perform and live up to a corded machine – my main concerns being suction, cleaning power and battery life, but after using the Dyson V11 Absolute, I wouldn’t go back to a corded vacuum cleaner.The brand-new Dyson V11 Absolute is a savvy piece of technology that brings pure joy to vacuuming. After removing all the parts from the box, it was very simple to assemble and easy to put on charge. After a three hour charge it was good to go. The LCD screen is a nice touch and counts down, letting you know how much vacuuming time you have left,depending on which power mode you are using. There are three modes to choose from Eco, Auto and Boost. The LCD screen also shows you on-screen tutorials for blockages and filter washing/removal.On the first full charge, I quite easily vacuumed five large carpeted rooms and one hard floor room, with at least 20 minutes of vacuuming time left. I used various power modes, and It was totally effortless, gliding from room to room, from carpet to hard floor with no need to change any settings. There is no loss of suction and I was totally amazed at how much dust and fine particles the V11 collected. I thought my Dyson DC33 was doing a good job but the Dyson V11 put it to shame when I saw the amount of dust collected on my initial clean.The Dyson V11 Absolute comes with six tools which are very easy to change with the press of a single button, transforming the machine between upright and hand-held quickly and easily.When you change to the crevice tool or combination tool, you can easily reach the ceiling and cornicing removing all those pesky cobwebs. Also, when using the High Torque Cleaning head, it really gets into all the tricky corners and it was great to get under radiators without having to change the head and getting under the dining room table without having to move all the chairs is a dream. I am now finding it is so much easier to do the vacuuming every day without dragging out the big corded upright, no more risk of tripping over the cable or snagging under the doors, thus the Dyson V11 has now turned vacuuming into a good chore and not a dreaded chore. Now I’ve got a Dyson V11 Absolute, I’ll never go back to corded and my old Dyson DC33 is now redundant and sulks in the corner, because there’s a new piece of “tech on the block”, namely the V11, that’s taken its place.I honestly can’t find anything negative to report about the V11, even the colours of it are beautiful (iridescent blue wand with red and purple brush heads) some of my favourite colours. If you’ve ever had a second thought about trying a Dyson Cordless Vacuum, don’t wait anymore, go out and get a Dyson V11 Absolute and release yourself of vacuuming drudgery. 5 stars all the way!!

Where do I start with this amazing machine from Dyson. It has certainly opened my eyes to a new way of hoovering that I never knew could exist. I have always been sceptical in getting a cordless hoover - but Dyson you have lived up to my expectations and a lot more. Goodbye to my old faithful corded model. Hello cordless Dyson. I absolutely love everything about this model. Cordless vacuuming where have you been. Having my Dyson for a week now my 3 bedroom house has never looked cleaner and has put a new lease to my carpets as they look so fresh and new again. Maybe because I just want to use this hoover all the time or perhaps it because this model is so convient to pull from the cupboard and hoover.Hoovering is a joy now not a chore. I have a mix of wooden flooring, heavy piled carpets and thick piled rugs and the transition to each floor type is amazing adjusting the power to suit each flooring type. For example on the auto mode the digital display automatically adjusts the power between the different surfaces adjusting the battery time for each floor type. How genius. The genius technology allows me to hoover from top to bottom in my house with one charge still retaining more charge of the hoover once I am finished and showing you the exact time you have left before you need to recharge. Seeing the dirt gather in the hygienic bin you honestly would think there is nothing more to get out my carpets and rugs but how wrong can I be. It just goes to show how powerful the suction is and how incredible it can still suck up deep into the pile of my carpet and rugs. I have asthma and Pets and love the point and shoot to eject the dust and debris from this bin direct into my bucket meaning you don’t need to touch any of the dirt. I love the convenience of just grabbing a cordless hoover and it has made hoovering an absolute pleasure. I also love how the digital display will alert you when the machine requires attention which is genius. Saves you getting out a manual as the display provides step by step instructions on the screen to help you. Love the attachments that come with the hoover. Especially the one for doing my stairs. Cleaning my stairs I always used to dread but this machine makes stair cleaning so easy and quick. For car owners you won’t be disappointed. To be able to grab the machine and hoover your mats has never been easier. Something I always found difficult with my corded Dyson. Showroom standards now on my car mats. So would I change anything. Probably not. But too early to see how the battery lasts as I have only been using it for a week but you do get a two year Dyson guarantee so fingers crossed. The only other observation is I would have loved to have somewhere to keep/hang my other attachments. Only the soft roller and the stair attachment. Well done Dyson. Genius machine and a pleasure to use.

Dyson V11 Absolute. As a previous Dyson owner I had high expectations of the V11. I was not disappointed. Our house has a mix of solid wood floors and carpets, 2 large dogs and 2 large teen/ 20's rugby playing boys. So cleaning up is a constant job.What can I say... this machine is so clever! Suction seems stronger and battery life wow much longer. What I like is the new feature of a sensor in the motorised head that detects the change from hard floors to carpet automatically it makes cleaning up a breeze and ensures your Dyson is using less battery power on the wooden floors then increasing power on the carpeted areas. I cannot praise this function enough. This machine is seriously good at picking up dirt.

As a family of four with two dogs, we create a lot of mess on a daily basis. However nothing we do is too much for our new Dyson V11 absolute. We couldn't believe that it has over an hour usage time from a full charge when eco mode is selected on the digital screen. Don't be tricked into thinking that eco mode means that it won't do a good job, "because it picks up everything in that mode". The other 2 modes are for extreme cleaning. We live in a 4 bed, 3 bathroom house with a selection of laminate flooring, tiles and carpets and even after a very thorough clean there's still plenty of power in the battery to do it all again.With all the different heads and attachments it comes with,

In November 2017 I moved from an upright and a cylinder (both corded) to the Dyson V8. This was because of a bad back. Although I kept both older models, I haven’t used them since. So, I am reviewing this from two perspectives: new to a Dyson cordless and also an upgrade to a V11.It’s still very early days (I’ve only had it three or four days), but I have to say I’m very impressed: it is bigger and better than the V8 and light years ahead on the older corded machines. As many people have remarked before, it changes the way you vacuum. No longer do you have to go the broom cupboard, manhandle it out, unwind the cable and then find a plug socket that will enable you to get the most coverage without swapping it over for every different room,

I will be very honest and admit that I wrote to Dyson a few years ago quoting that I would never buy another Dyson vacuum cleaner again ever due to the DC 33 although perfect for straight forward carpet cleaning was absolutely ridiculous and slightly dangerous when using all the small tool attachments for the other cleaning jobs around the house (many people had made the same complaint), for these I bought another hand held vacuum with attachments and have soldiered on with both appliances to do the housework for several years.With the advent of battery powered vacuum cleaners I said to myself never would I buy one and stood fast for quite some time.Then a month ago I thought to myself its

I've owned several Dyson vacuum cleaners over the years, including 2 cordless versions. I've found them all great, but their latest model, the V11 Absolute, is the best ever and I was lucky enough to be given it to test out for an honest review. All my previous Dyson machines have been purchased by me, the last machine I bought being the V8 Absolute and while I'm completely happy with it's performance, there are a couple of things that I found a bit tiresome. Firstly I have a combination carpet, various rugs and laminate flooring throughout my house and having to swap between the various heads several times a bit of a nuisance.

Love this machine,it is so easy to use and makes light work of any surface you want to vacuum. It benefits from the new intelligent head that can change from carpet to hardfloor and vice versa without having to change or adjust anything. The hard floor head is so soft and velvety and picks up every little piece of dirt or fluff, even bits of grit that is so easily brought in the house on someone’s shoe. It even has the intelligence to tell you how much running time you have left depending on what setting you have it on. There are three levels of power that you can choose to use, they are:- economy, medium, and boost, I have been more than happy with the eco setting as even this picks up better than my previous cord free vacuum from another manufacturer.

The one time Dyson could of took a page or two from their competitors and they missed out with this model. I'm 6ft my wife is 5ft and she thought the DC11 was too big, heavy and clunky. I found it totally the opposite and loved the feel of of it. I would go so far as to say it felt as if it was designed by males for males which got my wife down. Our older cordless hoover is a Shark and by comparison my wife prefers that model. It's very light compared to the DC11. Dyson missed out by not putting led lights on the motorised heads which is a great feature and there is no where to store the additional tools. This is a dissapointing feature.One of the motorised heads is a buffer for laminate which is a great feature and another motorised head for carpet.

I had the earlier Dyson v8 and an ageing corded DC22 of 10 years. The new Dyson v11 doesn’t disappoint. Simple to use - just one button - and an easy to see, coloured LCD screen located on the top of the appliance. There is no complicated operating menu. Tapping the button sets the machine into Auto, Eco and Boost modes. It’s the ideal appliance for people who want a state-of the-art device but don’t want to be bamboozled by a hierarchy of operating settings/gizmos. In “auto” mode the machine automatically adapts the performance settings as it crosses over different floor surfaces. I particularly like how the machine senses a change in floor type (my home has carpet, wood floor and uneven kitchen slate tiles),

I admit to being a fan of Dyson products (if not, perhaps, of the prices!); the V11 Absolute is our third machine (at the moment we still have a small hand-held and a V8 Animal). Dyson’s innovation and quality of engineering has transformed household cleaning across the planet – no more lugging hefty machines around, constantly catching the power cord on furniture and struggling on the stairs.The V11 Absolute works extremely well. It is noticeably heavier than the V8, but that brings a bigger battery for longer cleaning time and extra power when you need it. Power is easily controlled by a button on the head, and the associated display constantly shows which mode you’re in.

Living in a family home with a dog, cat & teenagers the v11 easily tackles my every day cleaning challenges. I have been using the v11 over the past week and as yet can't fault it.I particularly like the the display screen which allows me to see how much time I have remaining depending which suction mode and cleaner head I have chosen. When using the Auto mode with the high torque cleaner head you can clearly see how different floor surface require different suction making it easy to manoeuvre over carpets, rugs, laminate, tiles and wooden floors. As the time is also adjusted it helps me to make the most time efficient choices when cleaning different areas in the house.

This is my first cordless model, an upgrade from the DC03 which has served well for a few years. I was impressed by the strong suction and good pick up and it has overcome my concerns that such a small light-weight cleaner would not replace a conventional wired model. There is a rather cool and very useful digital touch screen which tells you how much time is left before charging and also gives warnings and directions on some other features such as clearing blockages. You use a button next to the screen to select the power level between eco, normal and boost, making it easy to select. After a full charge, the display showed 68 mins on eco, 44 on normal and just 9 on boost. However,
