Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, Blue

My partner and I love this vacuum. All of the attachments make it very versatile for use around the house. It does especially a great job on hard floors. I love that it can easily turn into a handheld vacuum which is great for use on stairs and dusting applications. It is not my first choice for thick carpet though as the power doesnt adapt very well so it kind of grabs onto the carpet and becomes difficult to move. My only other complaint is that it is a little bit on the heavy side.

Love the Dyson overall and have owned multiple. Only issue with the V11 torque is the weak housing around the trigger. You have to push the battery into the housing to turn it off. I was finally able to get Dyson to warranty. They are sending a new main body housing. This is a common problem based on my research online and a manuf. defect.

I dont write reviews very often but felt I needed to based on negative reviews I read. I was hesitant to drop $600 on a vacuum because of the reviews, but most of the negative reviews have no merit, IMO. First of all, the vacuum is not that heavy...at 6.5lbs, its two pounds lighter than a gallon of milk. If you cant carry a gallon of milk around then youre in pretty terrible shape. Not only that, but when youre actually vacuuming, some of the weight is alleviated by letting gravity do its work. Second, having to hold the trigger down is not bad at all. You dont have to squeeze the d*mn thing as hard as you can to get it to run. You barely have to touch it to trigger the vacuums power. You can have a very relaxed hand while using this vacuum and not run into any issues. The different modes seem to work fine. Its pretty incredible how much stuff it picks up when its on turbo mode. Its true the battery doesnt last long when using it, but it has pretty good suction on auto so you really shouldnt need to use turbo too often unless you want to do a deep cleaning. I cant comment on the issue of the vacuum not working after a couple of months. Weve had it for two months and it still works, so only time will tell if that issue comes up.

I have been wanting a Cordless Dyson for a long time and i am not disappointed! The battery lasts very good except on Boost mode but that seems self explanatory because it’s going to full power to get deep into your carpet. You get about 14 min at full charge in this mode.

Purchased this vacuum looking for a premium product that would do the job well, have good reliability and in situations where there were issues, would have a good support team backing it up. Because after all, this is the premium option right? Unfortunately, this was not the case. The product lasted ~4 months with fairly minimal use and regular cleaning before the trigger began having issues. The product would turn on when you pull the trigger, but upon release, it would continue to run for 30 seconds to a minute before finally turning off the motor. We worked around it for a few days thinking it was just a bug or an issue but it continued this behavior. I was actually excited to contact Dyson because typically when dealing with a premium product like this, the customer service is top notch. Unfortunately again, this was not the case. The chat feature on their website would not work. It would take you through a script before asking you a question that would just error out. I ended up calling their support line where I had to jump through menus before finally getting to talk to someone where the immediate vibe was not how can we help but instead what do you want. I went through the issues with the representative where they informed me, that before they could do anything to even answer my questions, they needed to register me in their system. Fine, not a big deal. I went through the process of tracking down the serial number on my vacuum, communicating that to them over the phone, and telling them my information multiple times, only to be told that the product was already registered under a different name. I asked them how this could happen, and was told that the only way this could happen is if I was sold an open box product, which I will address later in this review. I told the representative that I had purchased it brand new from Amazon and that I would be happy to send them a PDF copy of the invoice from my original purchase (even though I dont think I should have to jump through this hoop for them to just make their $700 vacuum work as expected). The representative basically just said tough luck. If we cant register your product we will not answer any questions, you cannot speak to a support rep, nothing. I asked them what my options were and they said There is nothing we can do for you, you need to contact Amazon and have them replace the product. That was the end of my Dyson experience, I had already made up my mind that I would not be exchanging the product as I have no interest in ever owning another Dyson product if that is the level of their support. Now to Amazon ... I immediately went back and confirmed the listing that it was fulfilled and sold by Amazon (it was) and that the condition of the product was listed as New (it was) to make sure I hadnt made a mistake when ordering. Once I had confirmed this, I called Amazon to make the issue right. To their credit, they were willing to give me a refund, but told me that I was responsible for returning the product. I had to go purchase a box, pack it, and send it to them, even though the entire issue was their fault for sending me an open box product they had listed as new.

I use an older Dyson upright and my wife uses a Bissell stick vacuum After one month: NO MORE CORDS! The V11 is light in weight but heavy on convenience and the suction is amazing. My wife has rheumatoid arthritis and I worried how she would be able to use the V11 with the works in the handle. She says it is as easy to use as the stick vac. It is very well balanced. The trigger switch has not been an issue for either of us. Maneuvering the vacuum head is dead easy and so much more convenient than the fixed heads of other vacuums. The vacuum head goes under cabinet overhangs and furniture, something the upright can’t do. The powered brush head does an excellent job on wood floors. Cleaning ceiling air and filter vents is so much more easy. I was skeptical how the V11 would handle the few short pile area rugs but it cleans them just fine. We have not run out of battery power cleaning our 2300 square foot house. The light weight, convenience and powered head means many small jobs go to the Dyson instead of the Dust Buster. Emptying is easy. My one concern is dust accumulation on the inside surfaces of the vacuum. I use an air compressor to blow out the dust accumulation in the innards of the Dyson upright and it is amazing how much there is. I’ve cleaned the V11 the same way and dust accumulation in it is also amazing. I can’t imagine not having an air compressor to clean these vacuums. The most important point I want to reiterate is that the convenience, light weight and maneuverability of the V11 means floors get vacuumed more often! What is the value of convenience, ease of use and good cleaning? Despite the initial cost, this vacuum can handle the jobs as well if not better than our other vacuums but with magnitudes more ease and convenience.

The Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum is a top-of-the-line cleaning machine that offers powerful suction, intelligent sensors, and a convenient and sleek design. With its ability to adjust suction power and battery life based on the surface being cleaned and a large 0.2-gallon bin capacity, it can tackle any mess with ease. The vacuums versatility is further enhanced by its ability to easily swap brush tools and its support for multiple surfaces. One of the standout features of the V11 is its dynamic adjustment, which adjusts suction power and estimates battery life based on the resistance of the brush head. This allows for a more effective cleaning experience. The vacuum also has an LCD screen that displays battery life and suction power, allowing users to easily switch between Eco, Auto, and Boost modes. Most the time im in auto though versus boosting or eco.

This is far superior than other brands I have tried! After a back injury, I have to have a lightweight vacuum. But other brands just didnt have the suction power, or the ease of use. I have two long-haired dogs, and this picks up fur easily... I use it on my carpets as well as my hard-wood floors. Separate brushes are perfect. Also, perfect attachments for use in my car or in tight places. Thanks so much for this great product. Ive recommended it to friends and family!

We were in the market for another cordless vacuum as the other one we had didnt do very well, so we decided to go for the gusto and invest in a higher quality one that we felt would last longer and do better. With that in mind we finally ended up looking at this Dyson model. After reading the reviews from here and elsewhere we look the plunge, although it was initially hard justifying the money we were putting into it. My wife is the skeptic of the family, so for her seeing was believing with this. She headed upstairs to vacuum the entire upstairs, which includes four bedrooms, two closets, and two baths. When she came down with it full of junk this thing had pulled off the floor she was a convert. Her baseline has always been her Rainbow vacuum that she swears by, but after using this and seeing how well it cleans shes now less eager to haul the Rainbow out and lug it around. Given the long battery life of it, and the incredible suction it has, I now frequently use it to do a quick cleaning of the house as I know its sucking up whatever it comes in contact with. Ive been especially impressed with the suction it has and the battery life of it. Ive vacuumed the entire upstairs and downstairs in a 2900 square foot house and still have plenty of battery life left. It obviously uses less battery on the tiles floors we have in the downstairs area and part of the upstairs, but for the carpeted areas it still gives me plenty of time to thoroughly clean them and still have plenty of battery life left. Both of us are totally sold on this vacuum and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a cordless vacuum that could very well end your need for a lumbering beast like our Rainbow. The cost is not cheap, but in this case I would say you get what you pay for.

I actually LOVE vacuuming now. It’s so easy for quick spills or daily tidying. Plenty powerful and cordless to take upstairs, downstairs, and ON THE STAIRS. I do wish the next one will have a larger fill chamber. With two dogs, I have to empty twice, but it IS so quick to change out.
