Of course, the Dyson V11 Absolute also comes with the proven dual-tier radial cyclone system developed by Dyson, just like its predecessors. Thankfully, both the V10 and V11 have fully sealed systems that keep the dirt in the filter and the air lovely and clear. How we do Filtration Test We spread dirt in the form of lentils, sand and oatmeal on hard floors, short-pile and long-pile carpets and then cleaned it with the automatic suction level.

Dyson scores some extra points for the new V11 cordless vacuum with a battery runtime of over 70 minutes in Eco mode. In Auto mode (Med), the battery-powered vacuum still achieves about 55 minutes, which is still a good performance. What’s probably most interesting to you regarding the Dyson V11 Absolute is, of course, how good the cleaning and suction performance is. The "direct drive electric brush" that comes with the Animal Extra works especially well for vacuuming carpeted floors.I like the Torque Drive cleaning head more than the Direct Drive, but I also wish that we could have had the mattress tool and up-top adaptor with the Dyson V11 models. We've updated the text in the review to account for the new tests and scoring methodology in Vacuums Test Bench 1.0 and Vacuums Test Bench 1.1. The prices of Dyson’s cordless vacuum cleaners vary mainly according to what’s included in the delivery. That’s often the point where people get confused. The results we got are while using the Direct Drive head, which is motorised. Generally speaking, you get a slightly longer battery life when you are using the non-motorised attachments (like the crevice tool or a soft dusting brush). Model (Mode) An integrated digital motor spins the brush bar up to 60 times a second. It drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpet to remove dirt, and carbon fibre filaments capture fine dust on hard floors.

This is a classic vacuum cleaner attachment that is great for cleaning gaps and clefts between car seats or the couch. Dyson Mini Electric BrushIt's not always easy to remember when the filter needs changing, but the V11 provides an alert so you won't forget!

In the standard-setting we had it running for a very impressive 45 minutes, which more than doubled that of the Dyson V10. To activate the battery-powered vacuum, you have to press and hold the trigger, just like with all previous models. This is often criticized, but it’s just a matter of getting used to it. It mainly serves to extend the battery's runtime. The High Torque head has another significant benefit, too. On either edge of the cleaner’s head, there are grooves that allow for dust to filter in from the sides, giving the head a wider cleaning path than its direct drive counterpart. Once that was done, we went over it with the Direct Drive head for 20 seconds on boost cleaning mode. There are some differences in the tools that come with each vacuum. This table will be able to show you everything that comes with the V10 and V11, as well as any model restrictions that might accompany them.Dyson UK has clearly channelled “never change a winning team” philosophy for the V11. They’ve kept the futuristic design. In fact, you could easily imagine Elon Musk (or one of his minions more likely!) happily vacuuming his future colony on Mars with this Dyson. The fully-sealed filtration system traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns – expelling cleaner air.³ Tech – If you love a bit of tech, then the LCD display and gadgetry along with the auto-adjusting V11 Torque Drive cleaning head will leave you very impressed. They both use HEPA filter, something which can be found on pretty much every Dyson vacuum cleaner except for the V7 range.
