However, it lags behind newer, pricier Dyson models like the Dyson V15 Detect or Dyson Gen5detect regarding raw suction power. For users who are looking for a high-performing cordless stick vacuum with excellent run time and intelligent usability, the V11 is objectively the best cordless stick vacuum on the market today. It offers many advanced features introduced with the Dyson V10 last year ( see our review), but with some new additions. Unlike the older models in the “V-series” lineup, the V10 and V11 share the same “point and shoot” style for emptying the dust bin. Conversely, the LG clears more debris on bare floors and high-pile carpet, weighs less, and can be bundled with a second battery that effectively doubles its runtime.

It’s best to purchase the soft roller cleaner head (seen in the pros image), but it is no longer sold on Dyson. is the first Dyson cordless vacuum we've tested to that can truly stand toe-to-toe with its corded vacuum cousins. There are no wheels on the cleaning head, but the brushroll navigates smoothly and it’s lightweight to push or carry. Rather than dragging around a corded heavy thing that makes a racket, sucks for England (or wherever) but didn’t actually lift dirt away from carpets, this thing unclips in a moment, fairly flies around over carpets and rugs and hard floors whilst actually cleaning them. Using it makes me feel like a mom in a commercial who derives a disturbing amount of pleasure from using the correct dishwasher soap.

Dirt compartment: You need to remove the wand before you empty the dirt compartment, which you can detach by pressing the red release latch.

For the big jobs, like embedded dirt, the V11 shifts to "Boost" mode that ramps up the suction power but takes a huge toll on the battery life: just 9 minutes and 30 seconds (approx. Both vacuum cleaners are capable of running for up to one hour and have the same weight and suction power. The latest in Dyson’s series, it’s incredibly powerful, smart, convenient, and light enough for me to lift with one hand as I stand on a step stool and vacuum spiderwebs from my bedroom ceiling corners (using the crevice attachment). If you use it in its handheld configuration in the 'Eco' setting, it can provide well over an hour of continuous use, which is quite long by the standards of other cordless stick vacuums. The Samsung is notably lighter, charges much faster, makes a little less noise, and delivers better performance on bare floors as well as low and high-pile carpets.It does an excellent job of picking up pet hair as well as solid debris, and performance remains consistent as its dirt compartment fills up. Its multi-surface floorhead still provides a good amount of surface agitation, so it's effective in clearing away finer material like baking soda and larger debris like sand. The Torque drive cleaning head is the only cleaning head included with the Dyson V11 (with either the Torque Drive or Animal model). simply drop your vacuum into the wall-mounted dock, where it will charge and be neatly out of your way until the next clean. The Dyson V11 line includes several models, including: the V11 Animal, V11 Torque Drive, V11 Absolute, and V11 Outsize.
