Why We Like It – Dyson V11 Vacuum

Spinning up to 125,000rpm, 20% more suction power than the Dyson Cyclone V10, the Dyson V11 Vacuum is generating 185 air watts for peak performance.

Pros
  • 20% more suction power than Dyson Cyclone V10
  • 60 minute run time
  • Includes maintenance alerts
Cons
  • Expensive

Power

As the best vacuum for tile floors, suction power is important, just as it is for the best vacuum for hardwood floors. If you thought the Bosch BCS122GB was powerful, the Dyson V11 Vacuum annihilates the competition, hands down. Outputting 185 air watts, the Dyson V11 Torque Drive has 20% more suction power than its previous generation, cementing it as the best stick vacuum. And by that logic, 40% more than a Dyson V8 stick vacuum. You’ll get an entire hour of run time, with the added benefit of choosing different modes, such as auto mode, power, and eco, a necessary feature for the best vacuum for pet hair.

Speed & Efficiency

Since the Dyson V11 Vacuum is so powerful, you only ever have to go over an area once. Its powerful cleaning reduces the overall time spent cleaning, which increases its efficiency. Then you get to the crevice tool, combination tool, and stubborn dirt brush (and more), and you realize you were missing out on so much. But, don’t miss out on registering this Dyson vacuum, as a warranty can help you maintain it longer.

Bin Capacity & Maintenance

Compared to the Tineco Pure One S12 cord-free vacuum, this Dyson vacuum has 20% more bin capacity at 0.75 liters. Maintenance is kept low thanks to built-in alerts.

Durability

Durability gets a boost by those aforementioned maintenance alerts, too. When it spots issues, you maintain it, which in turn extends its longevity.

Value

Priced at $683, it’s expensive. Here’s the rub: you get several attachments (and the vacuum), but most importantly you never have to buy vacuum bags again. But if budget is a concern and you really want a Dyson, the Dyson V8 Absolute is still an amazing cordless vacuum. There’s also additional V11 models, like the Dyson V11 Animal and the Dyson V11 Outsize, which offer their own specific talent.

Dyson V11 Vacuum Wrap Up

The Dyson V11 Vacuum is expensive, and we aren’t surprised. However, Dyson is always good about providing all the right tools, like a neat docking station for attachments, but more importantly: it’s incredibly powerful. We aren’t going to argue with 60-min run time, 20% more power than its previous generation, and maintenance alerts.
