Dyson v11 absolute amazing product

I was sceptical whether cordless would be better as I had my fingers burnt with a vax blade 32v I just thought wow the price at the time for a v8 I think was silly like it is even more for the v11

But how wrong I was its far better than corded Dysons and I have had about 3 over the years and still have one now for car.

I couldn't believe how good it was sucking up dirt ingrained in my rug even corded Dysons couldn't shift it. The cord is a issue as you always stuck to how long it is and sometime it gets in way like the stairs. I didn't realise just how much is its a issue until I got this, I thought that too like you are.

You do pay for the technology but from what I seen no other manufacturer comes close in terms of suction and the battery life is good. I clean house in a totally different way and its no longer a chore as its so easy to pick up from the charger whip round a few rooms (plenty of charge left) and back on charger

Useful review, thanks for posting it.

Personally I don't get the popularity of, or emphasis by Dyson on, cordless, though. Is it really such a problem to plug a vacuum cleaner into those conveniently located power sockets?

I suspect it's a ploy by Dyson to make people see it as The Way Forward because they are ahead with the motor and electronics technology to run it.

I had the vax blade 32v worse cleaner I have ever had, often pick up dirt when motor is off it would fall back down the suction just barely kept it in the vacuum pole, also a real ball ache to clean and minute bin. Maybe blade 2 is better but blade 1 I cant even call it a cleaner it was that bad.

After tripping twice over a cord plugged into one of those conveniently located power sockets, as a safety feature alone battery operated vacuums are No.1 for me!

A Vax cordless is quite sufficient in my small fully carpeted home though at a third of the Dyson.

This is what I think the power is amazing even on low power definitely brought up a old rug up like new couldn't believe a old Dyson couldn't touch it nor could a good bash outside remove ground in dirt

Another vote for the V11 here, it's brilliant!
I had a Dyson ball previously which was great too but I wanted cordless for ease of use up and down stairs. I honestly feel this thing would suck up the dog given half the chance, it's so powerful!
It really makes it so much easier and quicker to clean when you don't have to faff with the cord. It's even restored the pile on my living room carpet which is 50+ years old and the last remaining relic in my house left over from my Grandma.
