I am so disappointed with my V11 Absolute. I am sending it back to Dyson for the 3rd time for trigger failure. The first time they replaced the battery, the trigger still didn’t work, sent it back again and it has worked for 3 months and it’s broken again! It’s out of warranty in July. I do not want it repaired. I have asked for a store credit. My Old Dyson barrel vacuum lasted 13 years. I don’t think I will get another. It’s so frustrating sending it back and being without a vacuum especially when I spent $1200.

I have had the V11 for a year now - I got a great deal during Click Frenzy.
The house I have been using it in is 3x1, and the V11 is the perfect size for a place of this size. Generally when I finish cleaning on auto/medium mode I still have 30-40 of cleaning time remaining. I've never run out of battery in a single use. It is super convenient for cleaning the car. The powered mini motorized brush is fantastic to get sand out of the carpets in the car. I no longer have to lug my corded vacuum outside nor do I need to find an extension cord to ...

My V11 broke down less than 1 year. It started having trouble with the trigger and then it completely stopped working. Dyson replaced the main body when I called up which I appreciated. We decided to open up the faulty body see what happened and we found the trigger was cracked inside. The trigger wasn't engineered to withstand the constant pressing. The replacement already started showing trigger problem again.
Googling on internet, this is a common issue and there are even YouTube video to show how to replace the poor quality trigger.

Yes, the cordless feature is convenient but when you have to go over the same spot multiple times to pick up any spec of dust or dirt, terribly inefficient. With dark hardwood floors, this is very obvious. Vacuum is only 1 year old and the trigger has just failed and has to be brought in to service - given no time frame on how long it will take to be repaired so we are without a vacuum for who knows how long. Our Miele vacuum lasted 10+ years with no problems and regret giving it away.

Vacuum is heavy.
Only does a half decent job on the “boost” setting which then runs the battery out very quickly.
The stick attachment slowly became loose and was replaced by Dyson 4 months ago. Went to use the vacuum tonight and the new one has completely come off from where is attaches. Will have to call in the morning to see if they will replace again.
Blocks all the time in multiple areas of the machine.
Really regret getting rid of my Miele vacuum which was less than half the price of this absolutely poor excuse of a vacuum.

Use this vacuum on all floor surfaces timber, vinyl, carpet as well as soft furniture and performs well on all would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is interested in a quality easy to use powerful vacuum

The reviews for these were so good I decided to replace our 16 year old Dyson corded vacuum (that vac was awesome, lasted a lot of heavy use over 16 years and never missed a beat. Finally some of the plastic connectors broke and I figured it was time to replace it).

They said this new v11 was so much more powerful than the previous model. Having never used a cordless Dyson that sounded impressive.

All I can say is that the previous models must be really bad. I’ve have various “dust busters” in the past that had similar suction. Honestly, th...

Omg! What can I say, I am in love. No longer do I struggle with power cords, I just have to start vaccuming. Suction is great, filter cleaning a cinch and drum emptying a breeze. Best vac ever!

I love my updated Dyson Stick Vac. With more options for cleaning different surfaces I can't fault it. And a bigger drum to catch the dust means you don't have to empty it as often.

Trigger has completely failed. Terrible design as you need to press the trigger for the vacuum to work - there is no way to lock it on or any on/off button, you constantly squeeze the trigger as you vacuum. It started to lose its sensitivity and then completed stopped turning on within 2 weeks of problem arising. The trigger button is now completely depressed, as in the internal spring that usually bounces it back has become compressed. Such a massive design flaw for such an expensive vacuum.

When it was working, the vacuum was convenient bu...

Have been using the Dyson V11 for a few months now. Was in search for a freestanding stick vacuum as an everyday machine. As we are all aware, there are many products out on the market. After some thorough search we settled on the Dyson V11. Initially, I was leaning towards the Dyson V8. The V11, fortunately offered more for me and also considered future use.
Let’s start with pros: - yes it’s a stick and can be easily transferred from right to left hand. This may not be an issue for some, but true to others. For me, I tend to rotate from one ha...

Carpet & hard floor use .
It works great when it works but my concern is 6 weeks for a problem to occur like this is absolutely ridiculous and such a inconvenience.

The v11 has been nothing but trouble , it’s pretty bad when you spend $1000 on a vacuum, you would think it would last !!!
1 st problem was that it just stopped working altogether and luckily it was under warranty so was sent out a new body, awesome!!
But now the trigger works when it wants too !! So now what ??
Luckily I still have warranty so another body ??
Come on dyson seriously get with it ..

Does a good job overall but you can’t pick up certain debris when pulling backwards. Once the head stop spinning the vacuum is not very strong. Had it for 3months still works well, the price it definitely a bit rich for vacuum.

Had my Dyson V11 Absolute Pro for 3 months now and made cleaning much, much easier and actually enjoyable. I have 2 long haired cats and this vacuum picks up all their fur from everywhere. A tad heavy for one arm use and have developed some biceps pain initially but have since gotten used to it.

We use this on timber and carpet, since purchase all we have had are problems. It keeps breaking down. We have sent it back to Dyson 3 times. I'm over it now will never buy another Dyson product.

This vacuum cleaner has made life very easy for us. It is easy to handle, quickly picking up things. The floors have never been cleaner.

I would love to just have an extra battery or if they could make the battery life longer. Need to keep recharging.

Suction is so bad the boost function needs to be used to be able to do a decent vacuum so you don't have to go back over & pick up what has been left on the floor. But using the boost function, the battery only lasts about 10 minutes, no good for a bigger size house. Wood floors could be vacuumed on the mod function but certainly need the boost function for carpets. The convenience of no cord is good, that's the only good thing about this vacuum cleaner!!

Garbage, waste of money. Constantly gets blocked and switches off. Would never buy a dyson again. Used on wooden floors. 1 pet. Works on on rugs but again, constantly thinks it's blocked, even when it's not. Stops and starts. Terrible.

I bought a V11 in March. Few months in, it stopped working. It would charge but just would not turn on. I called them and was given a new motor. Same thing happened again! I called them and asked if they wanted me to send the machine back and they said no, and sent me a new motor. Vacuum wouldn’t turn on again and this time around it was a week before Xmas and they made me send back the machine with no replacement being sent. I have no vacuum over Xmas. I just called them to see where the repairs are upto and on their support line was just told...
