Dyson V11 Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, 760 milliliters, Blue

Product Information

In the UK, the tool is a new addition to Dyson’s range and it improves on the V10’s Direct Drive cleaner head by increasing the surface area and adding an adjustable slider, which is used to increase or decrease suction. A new, higher-capacity lithium-ion battery means the runtime of up to 60 minutes matches the V10 models, despite the V11’s extra power, and the trigger switch means no wasted battery caused by the motor running when you’re not actually cleaning. Cleaning in the Dyson V11’s Boost mode is seriously impressive and improves considerably on the V10’s Max mode. Otherwise, you’re missing out on one of its key new features – the pressure-sensing automatic suction mode enabled by the High Torque head. The battery is designed to last for an hour in Eco mode, operating with or without a motorised brush.

We test a vacuum's capabilities by replicating three typical household cleaning scenarios: oats scattered on a tiled floor; carpet freshener and talc scattered on a carpet; and pet hairs on a rug and sofa. The filter and floor heads can be removed for cleaning, and there’s no need to get your hands dirty emptying the V11 – just push the lever down and the 0. While the Dyson does feel a little heavy when used as both a stick vacuum and as a handheld (likely due to where the weight is concentrated), at just 2.This time around, I’m very pleased to say that Dyson has finally bundled a clip that fits around the extension pole and takes both the crevice tool and one of the brushes (the 2-in-1 wide nozzle tool/stiff brush or soft brushing dust_. We also test maneuverability for cleaning around and under furniture and on stairs, ease of emptying the bin, and battery life. When it comes to runtime, Alison found that there was plenty of time to vacuum the whole house, which included three double bedrooms, an upstairs bathroom, a hallway, living room, study, dining room, kitchen and utility room. With the V11 vacuum, you can tackle all floor types, high corners, skirting boards, upholstery, pet bedding and stairs – and our tester even used the soft dusting brush to dust the fireplace. On either edge of the cleaner’s head, there are grooves that allow for dust to filter in from the sides, giving the head a wider cleaning path than its direct drive counterpart.

Even with a handful of sticky Cheerios scattered on a hard floor, the V11’s High Torque head is able to roll over and clean up the mess. If last year’s model signalled the death of corded models, the V11 gives them that final push over the edge. The LCD screen is easy to navigate, and is handy for letting you know if there’s a blockage and how much run-time is left.Cornflakes, rice and leaves were gone in a single sweep, as were sand, toast crumbs and washing powder, leaving Alison's floors look spotlessly clean. My favourite accessory – one that Dyson seems to have forgotten about in its marketing documents – is the new on-wand storage clip. This year, Dyson continues to move forth with that promise by launching the Dyson V11 Absolute, the next-generation cordless model. It has a more powerful motor than the V10 and a bigger battery, while integrated sensors lying within the machine’s new motorised head allow it to adapt to its surroundings and save energy.

The improvement in suction comes via the more powerful motor, but Dyson has made some improvements to airflow, too.with the wand and soft roller cleaner attached, the Dyson V11 Absolute feels light in use, despite weighing a little more than the V10 models – the position of the battery means the cleaner feels perfectly balanced when you’re using it, and the extra weight is barely noticeable. Having these on-body means that you’ve got more storage space on the main dock, and you’re more likely to have the tools you need for a job to hand.
