V11 Cordless Stick Vacuum, Large, Nickel/Blue

I bought my first Dyson DC16 over 15 years ago and still use it to this day! In the early days, their cordless vacs were functionally great but lacked decent battery runtime. Recently, I decided it was time to pull the trigger on a new cordless vac but couldn't bring myself to spend the money for a Dyson. I went with the BuTure 450W 33KPA unit to save some money. It was a great little unit but seemed lacking in the power and battery life department. I finally decided to cough up the cash for a Dyson. This gave me a unique insight into the pros and cons of going cheap vs going Dyson. Here's the breakdown: Dyson V11 Pros: 1. Outstanding suction power and brush head performance 2. Excellent battery life 3. Great build quality 4. Easy charging setup integrated into wall mount Dyson V11 Cons: 1. Trigger pull operation can be tiring and uncomfortable 2. Expensive 3. No front facing light on brush head Buture Pros: 1. Much cheaper than Dyson 2. No need to hold a trigger down for operation 3. Nice bright headlight on brush head Buture Cons: 1. Suction is good but not great 2. Battery life is decent but tapers off quickly reducing power 3. Build quality is not as solid, brush head sort of flops around 4. Charging is less convenient, as you have to manually plug it in to charge Bottom line: The Dyson V11 is amazing! The suction is incredible, rivaling some plugin models. The Brush head is aggressive and great at pulling pet hair off carpet. The trigger pull operation can be uncomfortable after a while, ironically highlighted by the extremely long battery life. I only wish Dyson would have put a forward-facing light on the brush head. Buture and others like it are great alternatives if you can’t spend the money for the Dyson, but they don’t quite measure up in performance and quality. In some cases though, they do have better features like no trigger hold and cool headlights. Overall, the Dyson is the clear winner for functionality and quality. If you can part with the extra cash, definitely go with the Dyson.

Purchased December 2023, for about $400 through Amazon (Dyson's website had the same holiday price). I didn't initially want to spend this much money on a vacuum but we have little kids, and use the vacuum a lot, so I'm glad we got a quality vacuum that works for us. Totally worth it! We did a lot of research and finally landed on the Dyson V11 Cordless Stick Vaccum. We previously had a stand up Shark pet pro vacuum but this blows that out of the water!! We vacuumed areas that have been previously vacuumed with the other vacuum but the dyson picked up SO MUCH DUST/DIRT! Where was all that dirt hiding??! 👀 The vacuum has a little weight to it, but even with a fractured arm, I'm still able to maneuver it a little awkwardly with a bit of extra support. Be aware that you have to hold the power button down the entire time while you vacuum- there is no just "on" switch. This is to conserve battery life. As soon as you finger comes off the trigger, power goes off. The switch doesn't require tons of pressure so I'm not sure why people are complaining about their hands hurting from holding the button. 🤷🏼‍♀️ My nearly 4 year old can hold the vacuum, power button down and maneuver it on his own (not as fast or agile as an adult, but by himself nonetheless)- if that gives you an idea for weight. The suction is powerful and has several levels to pick from that affect the battery life (which will show you on a digital display how much run time you have based on the level of suction power you select) , emptying the dustbin is easy. And with the vacuum being cordless my husband is even excited to vacuum now! If you're on the fence- spend the money, make your life a little easier and get something quality that will do a great job cleaning and last a long time.

This is by far the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. The suction is stronger than the cord vacuums I’ve owned including a cord Dyson I have which I was very disappointed in after I bought it but I thought I’d give it another try and this cordless one made up for the first Dyson. The three power levels are super useful. I use eco when doing bathroom rugs, Boost for heavy pickups and Med for everything else in between! Switching between all three power levels, I’m able to clean my entire house on one charge and I have a 3200 sqft home. Emptying out the vacuum is very easy and the attachment tool make it easy to get hard to reach area like cleaning out my vehicle. Not sure why anyone would give this vacuum anything other than 5 stars.

My Dyson stick vac died. Well I probably murdered it, I have huskies and after 10 years of service it could take no more. So I needed a new vacuum. I tried 4 other brands before going back to Dyson. The only vacuum that came even close to the suction of this on was a shark but the high pitched ululation of the motor was enough to make my ears bleed so back it went. This little vacuum is flat out amazing. Dyson’s build quality is top notch and the placement of the on switch make sense unlike som others where the on switch is on the back or top. I also appreciate that it only stays on while depressing the trigger so you are only running the motor when you need it instead of needlessly wasting the battery life. Speaking of which, the battery will run around 45 min on medium power, and 15-20 on high. Since this is a stick vac meant for spot cleaning and dust bunnies (or in my case, tumbleweeds of dog fur) I am perfectly content with 15 minutes of battery life. I’ll grab my big vac if I need to cover more area. The dust cup is a decent size and is easy to empty. The filters are easy to get to and to clean. The wall bracket is convenient for storage of the vacuum and two of your most used tools. It’s not horribly loud even on high and wow the suction on this thing is amazing. If my last Dyson was any indicator, this vac should last me a good long time. In this day of planned obsolescence that’s so hard to find. TLDR: expensive but worth it.

Es una excelente aspiradora. Es muy potente y, en comparación con otras, bastante silenciosa. Las tres velocidades y los cuatro cabezales la hacen muy versátil, rápida y funcional. La aspiradora tiene un peso considerable, porque esta versión tiene más espacio de almacenamiento que otras. Para mí lo vale porque puedo aspirar hasta por una hora sin necesidad de interrumpir. El vaciado es bastante más sencillo e higiénico que en otras aspiradoras. Mi única queja es que el soporte tiene sólo tres espacios para guardar las herramientas, pero hay cuatro cabezales, entonces uno debe guardarse aparte.

Have a German Shepard that sheds enough hair you'd think I have 10 dogs so when the dyson arrived I vacuumed with the old vacuum while it was charging which picked up alot, went over everything again with the dyson and had to empty the canister 6+ times packed with hair and lots of fine dust and that was just on med setting. Going cordless made cleaning a large sectional with the hair screw attachment a breeze. So far quite impressed with its functionality, ease of movement, quick attachment swaps, battery life is great on eco, med is 30-40 mins more than enough to get threw 4 rooms, boost mode will prob be used for the spring dog shed more than anything. Cleaning our cars will be much simpler with this lil powerhouse

Cara, pero es una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Facilita muchísimo la limpieza y si son de los que tienen un departamento pequeño, es mil veces mejor (y más rápido) que utilizar una escoba. Énfasis en "departamento pequeño": el mío es de 2 habitaciones, sala, cocina y baño, y puedo utilizar la aspiradora en su máxima potencia sin preocuparme por quedarme sin batería (la batería en máxima potencia dura menos de 15 minutos).

Honestly it’s embarrassing to vacuum your “clean” house with this vacuum only to discover it wasn’t clean at all! This vacuum is incredible and lives up to all the hype. No hair tangling in the blade, quick and easy dumping of the canister (hint:if everything doesn’t fall out of the canister on the first swipe just close and open it again and the rest will fall out). I wish I’d bought this vacuum before spending a lot of money on a Miele only to discover they are very overrated. This Dyson with no cord, great battery life, ease of use and emptying, no bags, and incredible suction is the best vacuum I’ve ever owned by a landslide. Zero buyers remorse

Muy buen producto, vale la pena la inversión
