I just returned the Dyson V11 despite the fact that it had the strongest suction power of any cordless vacuum we've tried, and it's because of the trigger, which also makes it difficult to maneuver. The fact that they haven't created a vacuum with an on and off button is pretty ridiculous. Not worth $400+.

I just got the v11 plus for $399 on sale. It definitely has better suction power than the v10. So I wouldn't pay that price for the 10 whatsoever. Either way, I'm returning mine. Even though the suction power is fantastic, it's hard to maneuver (likely because it suctions so well) and hate that it doesn't have an on and off button like other cordless vacuums. Instead, you have to press the button the entire time as you're vacuuming. That, combined with it being top heavy, makes it a no-go for me. Search Vacuum Wars videos on YT for recommendations.

Only on V10 and v11 screw in types otherwise Dyson triggers don’t break. Performance is there - quality is questionable. Heaps of maintenance needed. I am the dyson reddit mod and a Dyson business owner.

i’ve owned and abused my Dyson v11 torque drive. never gave me any issues. recently bought the dyson gen 5 outsize. it’s way bigger and heavier than my old dyson. moving it on carpet can be difficult if you can’t figure out the angle at which it works best. both my dyson filters are Hepa certified and although it blows air from the top, it doesn’t release particulates into ur house. so ur allergies must be from ur house still being dirty. get a air purifier and vacuum more often. i love my dyson and would never get anything other than it. works perfect for my use case. you may need a self propelled cordless vacuum. those are expensive if they even exist and if they do, they are most likely corded

That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.

I have a Dyson V8 and a V11 Torque handheld on fake wood floors right now. They were good for the hair but TRASH at picking up litter. Probably would be better picking it up off carpet.

Had my v11 for around 3 years it just took a crap on me today. I would say overall it’s not a good vacuum but Dyson in general has gone downhill! To me a vacuum cleaner should last 7-10 years max before it starts falling apart and giving you issues. Within the first year of having it mine already started falling apart and all I did was push it back and forth 😂 today the whole front mechanism just broke off as I went to go run it and now it’s trash. None of the other attachments it comes with are worth a shit lol to anyone reading this if you are even thinking of getting a Dyson DONT DO IT! overpriced junk and when you try to order a replacement part on their site they are CONSTANTLY sold out so that should tell you something there.

I like mine a lot, but the biggest thing that bothers me is the battery. It doesn’t last quite long enough to vacuum my living room, kitchen, and back room. And it takes like 5 hours to charge. So vacuuming takes planning and I can’t get it all done at once anymore. My next vacuum will be a ryobi cordless.

Bought a v11 for my gf too. I personally dont think the price difference is worth the upgrade. If it was much better suction sure but its not.
