Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum, Nickel/Blue

I had considered getting a Dyson for a long time but kept buying other ones that were closer to $100 or 150. I would end up replacing them about every year to 16 months on the dot. I would get the same one because I had the extra batteries and definitely needed them to vacuum the whole house (2100 sq ft). Finally decided to buy this one.Pros:1. Better suction. Far surpasses any of the ones I've used before. Also it picks up everything. My other vacuum would not pick up fluff from our dogs' beds that they are constantly destroying. This vacuum does and more whereas my other would just push them around and only grab dirt and hair.2. No blockage. At some point, I was cleaning out the bristles and first section of my vacuum in the middle of one room because it would back up. Not the Dyson. The Dyson runs until you decide to empty the dust bin. Nothing gets stuck in the first section at all. Far superior.3. Great run time. One battery is just fine for us to do the whole house and still not need to charge. In comparison to my old vacuum where I would have to change the batter 2 to 3 times.Cons (not deal-breakers to me):1. No light at the floor. It was satisfying with my old vacuum to see what I was getting and if I needed to go over again especially on my dark wood floor sections.2. Power button does not lock. You do have to hold the "rigger" to run the vacuum which is tiring after awhile.With that in mind, this is by far worth the cons that I had. It is a far better vacuum in performance. Now I pray it lasts longer than a year.

This thing has been a game changer. The battery lasts forever. The suction power on it is almost as good as my shop vac. It is so much easier to manipulate around the house while you’re vacuuming versus a canister vac that you have to pull behind you or a full size upright. I love not having to deal with a cord as I’m vacuuming the room. But above all of that, it’s so easy to manipulate and move around and grab and put back that my teenager grabs it and vacuums without being told.

This was an upgrade to the V8 model previously purchased, but returned because of low battery capacity. The V11 is notably larger and heavier than the v8, but it has greater suction, slightly more run time, and twice the canister size. It also has the same dimension attachments, making it convenient for getting into tight areas. This model has 3 cleaning (suction) modes, but only the ECO mode has a 60 minute run time. However, the ECO mode does a very good job! Overall, the product does an extremely good job picking up debris. I’m amazed how much it picks up - stuff I can’t see on the floor or furniture. I even noticed the significant amount of pollen in the canister after vacuuming the screen porch and outdoor furniture.

I never write reviews…but had to here. First off the vacuum can quickly and appeared to be packaged correctly. I was so excited to use it and realized the battery already had a charge. Then I realized the crevice tools was not in the box. I decided to call Dyson directly hoping I’d get a fast response…which I did! One phone conversation with the Dyson agent and he had me registered for the warranty and put in order for my new crevice tool at no charge and I had it two days later! I’m very impressed with Dyson, not so impressed with Amazon. I paid for a new Dyson V11 with three attachments and it was obviously this box had previously been opened.But….i LOVE this vacuum. It’s so easy to use, lightweight, no cords to fuss with, great up and down stairs, so easy to dump canister and filter is metal and Washable…amazing!!I should have just purchased it directly through Dyson. Amazon gave me no discount.I’m giving the product 5 stars. Amazon gets 3.

I have a v10 Animal already, so I was able to do a side-by-side comparison of the two. The v11 does seem to have a bit more power, and suction was amazing. So good, in fact, that it sucked up my washable rugs enough to stop the rotator. This is a problem, because even set at the weakest suction, it was still pulling too hard on the thinner rugs.The unit is also quite a bit heavier than the v10, so this may be an issue if you have weakness or arthritis, which I do. I found that my arm got fatigued much faster with the v11. This is most likely due to the computer chip and fancy digital readout on the new unit. There was nothing wrong with the manual buttons on the older unit, but I guess everyone needs smart everything these days. In the future, I will probably opt for a factory-refurbished v10 to save on arm fatigue.My plan was to put the older v10 in my motor home, and keep the new v11 in the house, but I think now after using them, I will switch that. The older one handles the rugs in the house better, and the new one will be better at sand tracked into the motorhome at the beach. All in all, an excellent unit, but I do wish it was a bit lighter, and a bit better on the thinner rugs. And of course, they take two different filters. Ah well.... "progress."

I just got this model to replace my very old v6 animal. My animal still works pretty well but I wanted a new one that has more suction to deal with the pet hair a bit easier. Its a Dyson. It works exactly as you would expect it to and i'm VERY happy with it. The only issue that occurs with them when they get very old is the batteries eventually give out and years from now when this happens to my new one I'll convert it over to my drill batteries just Like I did with my v6. Love these vacuums and everyone in the family loves the ones they have. You will not be disappointed and will get many years of great service out of these devices.

How do they get such suction out of a battery powered wand? I’m a dog owner and live in a small apartment that’s carpeted. This thing picks up pet hair with ease. Yes, it’s expensive and truly the battery doesn’t last very long on a two hour charge. But I can do all the cleaning I need in less than an hour. The vac is easy to take apart and clean and the directions are fantastic. This is truly the IPhone of vacuum cleaners. I don’t know how I lived without it for so long.
