May be ok in a small house with hard floors but almost useless in a larger house with some carpets. Certainly convenient with no cords and charging station but I spend too much time cleaning the filters, trying to get the various pieces to come apart and going back over the floors to find the bits it left behind on the first run through. At this price it is a very poor buy. Subsequently bought a shark stick cleaner at a third of the price and it does a much better job. Gave my Dyson to a charity in the hope someone can find a use for it.

Purchased beginning of 2020. Machine works well but I've had a couple of issues with the machine. However, the aftersales support has been extremely impressive. The staff at Dyson were pleasant, knowledgeable and offered quick delivery of replacement parts. You can tell a lot about a company by their aftersales support.

I think i had a lemon. Within weeks of use the handle began to crack on the main body, then the Motörhead stopped working, then the power on button began playing up. Not what you would expect from a $1300 product.

Unfortunately i have had to involve Fair Trading as i had bad experiences with some of the customer service team. My machine was repaired but was lost in transit. I've been without a machine for a month. Dyson have agreed to replace my machine.

It's state of the art.
It did to our carpet what our other vac couldn't it really worked well....Our apartment felt cleaner and we were amazed at how much dust it extracted from a carpet that looked clean...Plus our 9 year old daughter could use it.
Plus the dust is easy to get from the machine...although the dust holder is a bit small

I have had my Absolute v11 only a few months but in this time the Motor has had to be replaced which was delivered quickly, but now the red lever on bin wont work to open the bin for emptying. It is going to be a 6 to 8 week wait for replacement. This is not good enough as now I have to go and buy a second vacuum to use during this wait when advertising suggests you only need one vacuum once you purchase a Dyson - not true. I love the way the Dyson works and makes cleaning so much easier but am very disappointed with mine.

The V11 Animal goes from floorboards to carpet with ease. Great performer, versatile, light, easy to use and empty. Accompanying tools manage any vacuuming situation, and wall bracket makes storage simple. Exceptional all round cleaning tool.

Product is too heavy, top heavy, difficult to move around, difficult to change attachments, hand aches badly after use.
Wish I had have done more research before purchase, there’s obviously many unhappy customers out there. So disappointed

A difficult one to review as we have owned this for approx 12mths and after using it daily it had a complete failure of the motor and electrics.
After a quick phone call to the support crew and a discussion on what the issue was a new replacement body/motor was in the post.

Arrived after a few days and swap the battery over it works great again.
I understand a product that costs this much should last a lot longer however with the great product support they offer we cant complain so they definitely deserve 5 stars.

Will never go back to a plug in vacuum after using the handheld, so convenient not to mention much more powerful.

Upgraded from a V6 Absolute, so quite a difference. New design features have ironed out all the issues with previous models. Used it yesterday on wood, carpet and slate floors, and happy with the result. Auto adjust very useful, and point and shoot emptying a real improvement. If I have any criticism it would be the weight( difficult to use one handed for above head cleaning) and the price of $1199.
Having said that, it’s a beautifully designed stick vacuum, and I would definitely recommend it.

I purchased my Dyson from Dyson in the hope any problems I had would be resolved quickly. Well I was wrong. Firstly I had trouble with the trigger not releasing when I moved my finger. So I rang and was told a new body would be sent out. That was ok but a week later after cleaning the filter and now I can no longer power up the unit.
This is where I get cranky. I was told it would take minimum 4-6 weeks to get replacement body.
So what am I meant to use in the meantime. I feel I should be sent a new until and they can this one back. I am sure they have complete units available.

I am not inclined to buy or recommend Dyson again.

I received it yesterday, charged it and used it today. I did the 3 bedrooms carpets and it was so heavy compared to previous Dyson. It is so disappointing. I have now pain in arm and shoulder. I am only 40 years old, almost 6 feet tall and quite active. It’s not worth the price..!!
It performs well but too heavy to do the whole house.!

This is my third Dyson and just love this model. I have the cumbersome corded DC23 which is quite heavy. I used it conjunction with the Hand Stick DC35 which was great for smaller jobs.
Now I have been so impressed with this model as it is not too heavy, and no cord....yay....it works great for hard and soft floors and adjusts accordingly or you can give it an extra boost as required. I have a large house and it will do the whole house if I choose, but I alternate one day for the hard floors and the other for the carpets. Would recommend.

Hands down can't express how good this unit is.

Price was a deterrent for a long time with the cordless vacuums, bit the bullet and couldn't be happier. The ease of grabbing it and cleaning a quick mess is fantastic.

Suction is very strong on auto and has two other modes to suit your need, definately quiter than you're conventional vacuums. Easy dust cartridge release.

Battery life is well capable for a average size 3 bedroom house, haven't had an issue to date of running out of juice. Quick and easy removable battery, handy if you have a larger house and need two battery's.

Amazing for pets that shed a lot of hair.
Only downside would be using the small attachments the unit does get heavy quickly, other than that I can't fault it.

OK so I've bought a lot of Power tools in my time ranging from $50 to $2000 and in a way they have always been worth the money to a point.
Take for example Bosch cordless angle grinder $300 tool definitely will do the job, very powerful and durable. Or get a Bundle pack for $800 with 2 X 6 Ah batteries that will way outlast a Dyson battery any day.

So i ask the question
If the V11 was a power tool, Would this be worth the money? Sadly I don't think it even comes close.
To be honest, Its built quality is to a toy standards.
Had my unit for less then 3 months and the battery melted while on charge. This is pathetic to any industry standard.

it's easy to use for quick cleaning , doesn't clean edges , or even go under beds , battery life is very low so its annoying when you want to clean all your house and stops midway
