DysonV11 Origin Cordless Vacuum, Nickel/Blue

I love how easy it is to carry around. It’s perfect for a quick clean. wish I bought this sooner !

I bought this Dyson vacuum after reading some of the prior reviews. What was particularly appealing to me was that customers said it would take a pet hair that was embedded in a rug. Not only does it do that, but it does so much more. I don’t need to put towels or blankets down on the couches because you can directly vacuum the couch as well as bedspreads and comforters without it getting caught. This vacuum is lightweight and very easy to maneuver. Some were disappointed with the battery life, but I have not found that to be the case. This Dyson is well worth the investment and I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I had an Oreck XL for 15 years and I never had it professionally serviced I changed out the parts buy getting them on AmazonBUT This beauty had been a Godsend especially since I now need a wheelchair to get around! It’s easy to handle, very powerful especially on the “ Boost” setting and for my 1 bedroom apartment there is plenty of run time The dust cup picks up an incredible amount of dirt and cat hair from my carpet and I have a caregiver who vacuums 3 times a week!I got this Dyson 11 on an Amazon sale and paid less than another high quality cordless vacuum cleaner.

I'm not one to write a lot of reviews. But the picture speaks for itself. This is after I had my normal housekeeping sevice come through with their upright vacuums. This vacuum is as quiet as my dyson airwrap, which I did not realize was a possibility. It did not frighten my baby, my dog, or my cats. I love this cordless vacuum. It picked up so much pet hair that it was honestly embarrassing. But I could immediately tell the difference when walking on the carpet. It's light and easily maneuvered. I also love the countdown on the battery life.

Our old Rocket vacuum needed replacing after 8 years, so I jumped on the holiday sale on the Dyson V11. I’ve used it for a couple weeks now, and I HAVE NOTES.• The important bit: It sucks. The vacuum’s suction is very good. Especially compared to my old Rocket. (I cleaned and maintained the filters on the old vacuum, but it could not provide the suction the V11 does.)•Packaging: Oh my god, so much packaging! It’s a Russian nesting doll of packaging. The vacuum itself is inside a box which is inside another box which is inside a shipping box. But wait… inside that last box? More boxes! Every single piece and attachment is packed inside its own box or nestles in an intricate support structure of cardboard. I mean, the pieces surely aren’t going to get damaged, but …so much packaging.• The Battery: Good new and bad news. It’s convenient to not have to stop to plug the old corded Rocket into a different outlet 4-5 times during vacuuming. The charging stand the V11 comes with makes it easy to recharge (if you can locate the stand near an outlet for the charging cord). HOWEVER, you get about 25 minutes of vacuuming time (at the recommended, medium power setting) on a full charge. For a four bedroom family home, that is not going to be enough! I’d rather have to move a cord and get it done all in one go. Recharge time is a couple hours.• The "Motorbar cleaning head" (the brush roller), designed to not get tangled with hair and string, works like a charm. I normally vacuum up a lot of long hair and dental floss, but not a strand stuck in the V11’s roller.• The handle: The design of the handle is unexpectedly not ergonomical. Being aligned at 90 degrees to the shaft makes the V11 more difficult to push *forward* as your hand is naturally pushing more towards the floor. More importantly, there is a seam in the plastic casing of the vacuum body right above the trigger. The top of your finger will rub against this seam constantly. It will rub a sore on top of your finger.• The trigger: Some people have complained about having to hold down the trigger to keep the vacuum running. I expected to have a problem with this, but I didn’t. Just holding the V11 in a normal way rests your finger on the trigger during use, and it’s so sensitive that I seldom release it accidentally. (The sensitivity is actually almost a problem, I sometimes accidentally trigger the vacuum just handling it.)• Length: It’s important. The grip of the V11’s handle is about 40" from the floor. The handle of my old Rocket was 42". As a 6’2" older person, I have to bend a little more than I like to vacuum with the V11. Most people probably won’t have that problem.• Other notes: Because of physics, dust spinning around the inside of the plastic canister generates static electricity. If you touch the plastic casing during operation, you can get a little shock. Also, when removing the shaft and brush head to empty the dust canister, the shaft/head won’t stand up by itself for you (something my old Rocket would do), it just falls over.In conclusion, I kind of wish my old Rocket still did the job, but at the end of the day, the Dyson V11 has superior vacuuming capability, and that’s what you need. It has some pleasant features and some mildly annoying drawbacks, but it’s worth the holiday price.

This is a must have especially with stairs. It is lightweight, easy to use and clean. Charges fast. Definitely happy with this.

I typically will return items if they do not deliver on the promise in the item description.This is hands down the best vacuum I have ever owned.It’s light weight, it has a long run time and it picks up everything.It does a better job than our Hoover upright vacuum.The Hoover is going into permanent storage after getting the Dyson.The only very minor con is the way you need to empty the dust canister but that doesn’t bother me enough to take any stars off of my rating.We love it!!!

Pros: lightweight that a school-aged child can easily use it. The wireless vacuum makes it easy to use and vacuum with. You can see how much you’ve collected.Cons: that charge only last around 20 minutes. The vacuum gets easily clogged and needs to be emptied frequently.
