The Set Up
When this vac arrives there is a little bit of set up required. All the pieces just snap together easily. It is pretty self-explanatory however, the directions are easy to follow if you need some guidance. You will need a flat head screw driver to attach the battery and also to hang the base unit on the wall. This base unit is where you will store the vacuum and ideally where you will charge it also, so make sure you have an outlet near where your base is going before you install the base.
About This Product
The Dyson V11 is a powerful cordless vacuum cleaner. This intelligent vac will self adjust to optimize suction and run time. The high torque cleaner head automatically adjusts the suction and power to deep clean all of your different flooring types without having to change out the cleaner heads. The Dynamic Load System is unique to this Dyson.
Dyson vacuums have purifiers and are scientifically proven to capture particles as small as allergens and bacteria to help out have a cleaner and healthier home. This was specifically important to me with this vacuum since I have family members who are allergic to dogs and/or cats. I vacuum like a mad woman before they come for a visit and I want to ensure that I have vacuumed up as many of the allergens as possible. The specifications say that the whole-machine filtration traps up to 99.99%of particles, dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. And – The 14 cyclones generate forces of more than 79.0g.
This product was engineered with larger homes in mind. It has a 60-minute run time which is longer than many of the other cordless vacs I have used. The actual run time varies depending on if I am vacuuming my wood and tile floors or the carpeted or more heavily soiled areas of the house.
The attachments with the Dyson are also specially engineered to ensure whole house cleaning and car cleaning. The mini-motorized tool works great for removing pet hair from smaller spaces.
This cordless vac can be easily converted to a handheld vac so you can clean your upholstered furniture, the stairs or, as mentioned earlier, the car.
Another great thing about this vac that I really haven’t heard a lot of talk about anywhere is the sound or lack of sound. There are acoustic baffles built right in to the motor to divert direct sound. What I am trying to say is that it is really quiet which is nice when I am working when the family is home and I can continue to chat with them and it’s nice when I am home alone doing my own thing and I can turn on some good tunes and hear them without blasting the music.
What You Get
When you open the box you will see the parts and attachments for this vac system. You will get the torque drive head that in the photo is attached to the stick vac pole. AT the top you have the dirt canister which has the filtration system inside and the battery on top. You have the docking station seen here and charger and the wand storage clip in the box. And then also, the attachments which include: mini-motorized took, crevice took, Stubborn dirt brush, soft dusting brush and combination tool.
Who can use the Dyson V11
The Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is really for all size houses. It is certainly ideal for homes with pets. I find that with the run time it is also great for larger multi level homes. It is so much easier to carry up and down stairs than a larger upright or canister vacuum cleaner. It moves around easily so it can be used by the kiddos without any difficulty if you can con them into helping with the vacuuming. On the other end of the spectrum from getting the kids to help, this vac is light enough and easy enough to maneuver that the elderly folks out there should have no problems. Some cordless vacs have challenging ways of emptying the dirt canister but the Dyson has an easy dump system that anyone can use without creating any extra mess.

Pros About the Dyson V11
I don’t know if I should count this as a pro but I feel that it is, so – the Dyson brand itself is a pro. Dyson is known for its leading edge technology and good, quality products. Speaking of leading edge technology – one of the coolest pros about this Dyson is the self adjusting power. You don’t have to remember to switch power levels as you move across different flooring types, it just happens for you. I’ll mention here again that the battery life is up to 60 minutes. There are not many times that I actually vacuum for 60 minutes at one time so the 60 minutes is perfect for me.
Cons About the Dyson V11
The biggest down fall of this cordless vac is that you have to keep your finger on the trigger to keep it running. It hasn’t been a really big deal for me however I would really prefer an on/of button or switch. This vac doesn’t have a self standing option or a resting nook like some other cordless vacs. There are times when I need to stop and pick up a few things or whatever and I hate leaning this expensive piece of equipment haphazardly up against something hoping it doesn’t fall and break. Another con is that this vacuum does not have LED lights on the power head. It seems like a small thing and it kind of is, but I do like seeing under the furniture which is difficult when you don’t have those lights on the power head.
In Summary
There is a reason that this Dyson V11 Torques Cordless Vacuum Cleaner made my list of the 5 best Cordless Vacuum Cleaners for 2021. It really checks all the boxes for what I want in a cordless vac which is: easy to use, good battery life, lightweight, good suction and great attachments. The Dyson is a little on the pricey side but if you know Dyson you know it is going to last you a long time.
This vacuum will make your time spent vacuuming as efficient and effective as possible. I am all about efficiency – I like a clean house – that doesn’t mean I like cleaning the house! This vacuum will help you get that clean house quickly so you have more time to sit back and enjoy it! Cheers!
