Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, Blue

Very pleased with vacuum, great for pet hair.

We typically just use it one room at a time, but it should be able to last a few rooms. Its also light enough and portable enough to carry up a flight of stairs easily. There are two issues I have with it though. First, its top heavy. Which is obvious, since everything is up top. So, even though its lightweight, for my elderly parents, its not as easy to use. The second issue is more of a design issue. You have to keep your finger on the trigger. Granted its a very light trigger. But when you add in this is top heavy, it easily gets very difficult juggling the weight with the need to constantly pull the trigger. I would have preferred an on off trigger, so that you can hold the vacuum however is most comfortable. As for the vacuum itself. It sucks everything up. What I was most impressed with was how much dust it picks up. Definitely a lot more than my older vacuum. The attachments are also easy to put on, and take off. Emptying the vacuum is easy with the one touch ejection. But definitely empty the vacuum outside in the trash can, as dust does seem to fly around when cleaning it. Other than that, it does whats advertised. Can be used on carpet or hardwood floors. it rolls easy, although cornering takes a bit of work.

After much consideration and after reading and watching many reviews and demos, I pull the trigger on this Dyson V11 Torque Dr. a few months ago. Amazon allowed me to do the six payment plan which was very helpful. I also bought the extended warranty. In short it’s been super, I even vacuum my cat. Total game changer. Yes it’s plastic, but it works perfect every time every day, honestly it’s almost the perfect vacuum cleaner. Pros: It’s lightweight and cleans better than anything I’ve used before, easy to steer and handle, easy to empty, easy to swap out filters, comes with all necessary attachments, great customer service, I’ve called them twice with questions, quiet, pet hair friendly my cat even lets me vacuum her she loves it!, Almost 0 emissions, Great for catching in house rogue mosquitoes, holds a charge long enough for my needs. It’s quite literally the perfect vacuum cleaner. I mainly use the auto adjustment but have used ecco successfully and the almighty powerful boost mode which will drain the battery quickly but refurbish a rug back to its new luster. I have a house with predominantly floor tile and two large floor rugs also front and back door mats; roughly 1470 sq footage. Also low profile carpet in a refurbished 2 car garage. I can maintain the entire space and clean my cat twice a day and not run out of a charge. If I’m doing heavier cleaning I will run out eventually but it charges quick enough. It was one of my big concerns and I’ve only found myself twice wishing I had further charge. Cons: my only gripe is I’ve developed a callus on the inside top of my middle finger and the right side of my thumb. Itd be nice to see a more ergonomic grip redesign that also includes a trigger lock so you don’t have to constantly pull with your finger. I did purchase a small third party plastic device that acts as a trigger lock that works OK. I would add that anybody who has a physical impairment might be challenged to operate this vacuum cleaner. Not any more or less than any other standard Upright but it is something to consider. This being cordless would be a benefit that said. I highly recommend getting extra filters and changing your filter once every couple weeks even. I do not recommend waiting for the filter change icon to appear. I believe this will help the vacuum cleaner live longer. Dyson filters run $24 apiece, I ordered this third-party manufacturer filter and they work just as well https://www.amazon.com/Wolfish-Filters-Replacements-Cordless-970013-02/dp/B07V85J4SS ***Do not vacuum anything wet or any liquids; it will mess up the motor, also nothing fine like ash. I read other reviews were people have learned this the hard way. I’ve had good luck with cat hair and cat dander. It’s so awesome I can vacuum my cat!

Only could give this 4 stars because it was near impossible to get the battery charger separated from the other part that attaches to the wall!!! Instructions says just click but it doesnt just click. I actually had contractor try to get it off, called the 800 number on the manual says tech services at your assistance and the hours I was in the hours provided had the model number but I spoke to someone that would not admit there were no tech services people there at all or if ever(?). I repeatedly stated I want to talk to tech services person and and maybe they can walk us through separating these parts so it can be attached to the wall. She finally admitted there are no tech services people! All she could do was order another part and have it sent as this was new and still under original warranty. After hung up we finally got it open but had use several different tools and pry it apart which sort of damaged the plastic. So thats the deal otherwise the vacuum works great maybe its just that part I received but its on the wall now and still havent received the replacement part if this was a deal where it wouldnt charge I would not have a vacuum of any kind so their service department is severely lacking or non existent.

First, the good — and it’s mostly good — for some reason, the pricing was down from what I’d expected. Still not cheap, but less than $500. I bought ‘The Animal” not ‘The Torque” drive. The only difference is the digital sophistication of the readout on the motor indicating battery life, etc. That option looked nice, but I figured I didn’t need it. The battery life is very good. The suction on this machine is in the WOW range ... but there is a downside to that. I’m thinking that the suction on the ECO setting is about the same as the V10’s suction on the AUTO setting, but I’m not sure. You can hear the change in power when you move the roller from hard floor to the carpet ... and that’s where the problem lies. I have new carpeting (one reason I upgraded to the V11 - I’m a Dyson cordless stick vac devotee and have had one for years). The V11 will NOT move across the new carpet in AUTO mode. I admit that I find this a bit distressing as I can’t take advantage of the additional power of the machine. The carpet is Mohawk Smartstrand Silk, and very soft and thick. Fortunately if set on ECO, the vacuum operates across the carpet pretty much like the old one did on the AUTO setting.... so, in the end, I suspect that I’m getting about the same suction power as with the older vacuum on AUTO. The V11 is also noticeably heavier, but I can handle it and it doesn’t bother me too much. Still, I struggle with the idea that there is a setting that I can’t use... and one hates to have a top of the line machine that has a problem of this nature. ... and YES, I have the air gates wide open.

This is by far the best vacuum I have ever purchased!!!!! Handles pet hair and anything else you throw in it’s path. My only complaint would be…. Why didn’t I buy this sooner!!!! Seriously though….. it can get a little heavy if doing a large job but other than that it’s perfect! Fits in small tight spaces and automatically switches from shag carpet to hardwood flooring effortlessly. Would definitely buy again if/when needed.

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.

Putchased a second one!! NOTHING CAN BE IMPROVED once you put a little dab of wax on the tube you must remove to dump the hair & dirt. This vacuum is seductive, “use me, vacuum now !! USE ME!! “ it silently screams! I leave it in corner by dining room and every time I pass it I want to vacuum the little tiny stuff that accumulates every day. I have 8 cats in the house, (some stay in different areas) and the power is so underrated. Make payments on this sucker, never EVER vacuum with that damned tether called a CORD again. You will never regret it and be glad this old 70 yr old lady spoke up. It even gets halfway under a king-sized bed!! Vacuum the remainder from other side of bed!! I have never used one of the cheaper sticks, but with two large Lithium batteries and all the accessories they cannot compare. My gawd, women, trust me. It’s worth every penny. 105° outside, yah gotta have AC. Dirt: yah gotta have THIS CORDLESS high-powered Dyson.

I loved this vacuum when it worked. It lasted roughly a year before the power head wasn’t spinning. I called Dyson, they said the power head needed replacing. They sent me another at a huge charge, only to find out that wasn’t the problem. As it was still sucking the dirt up somewhat, I continued to use. However, it was one problem after another. These machines have a sealed unit and therefore, cannot be repaired. Very disappointing. Not worth the money, I’m afraid.

This vacuum is truly amazing. The cordless feature is so dreamy. It sucks up cat hair and dog hair and dirt so efficiently. The battery is sufficient to clean a 1200 square-foot space without a recharge. The features are easy to use and it easily hangs on the wall tucked night nicely away with the wall mount that comes with a vacuum cleaner. I have two of these and they make my life so much easier. The vacuum comes with a hand held attachment that allows you to quickly and efficiently, vacuum cat and dog hair, riddled, furniture, and vehicle upholstery.
