Dyson - V11 Animal

Ich hab mir nen Defekten Dyson V11 für 90€ geschossen und dann nochmal ca. 100€ für die Reparatur hingeblättert (Motor war Defekt aber es war nur die Komplette Griffeinheit erhältlich anstatt nur der Motor). Das Ding kam mit mega viele extras (Vorbesitzer hatte diese Animal Version oder wie die heißt). Bin ein absoluter Fan von der Saugleistung, vor allem den angetriebenen Bürsten am Saugkopf. Der Dyson wird primär verwendet um unser Sofa etc. zu reinigen, der Boden wird vom Roboterstaubsauger (Roborock S5 max) gesaugt. TL;DR: Ich bin mit der Dyson Qualität super zufrieden bisher, würde mir aber im Leben keinen neuen Kaufen bei den unverschämten Preisen.

I love my Dyson V11 Animal. It has withstood the past 5 years of weekly use against golden retriever, various foster dogs, and cat hair.

I have a Dyson v11 animal. It's fantastic. Can't recommend it enough. We have 2 cats and hardwood floors and it does a great job. Not one problem. The newer models have a bit more battery life and that sweet green laser head, but I think those may exceed your budget.

I got the V11 Pet and it’s great so far! About a year into using it daily

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.

Wow interesting. We had our Dyson Animal first generation for 15 years with two cats and two dogs. When it broke we bought the next generation one. Fingers crossed it lasts as long.

I love the Dyson animal cordless. It’s been an awesome little one. We got it on sale at Costco so we could take it back easily. I’d pay full price.

Cordless vacs are a real convenience, and a real compromise. Barely there power. - A Kenmore cordless stick vac was immediately returned, as completely useless. - A Shark here is barely adequate, with a pipe that broke in less than three months, and required replacement. - A Dyson Animal ran for a couple of years, but the very expensive batteries failed within several months. If you’re accustomed to corded uprights, you’ll be shocked at how much worse cordless vacs are. I use a cordless vac daily, because I really like the convenience and I’m not fussy. but it’s necessary to keep the upright on call. Definitely not up to heavy duty. Maybe okay if you have hard floors or very short carpet, and your mother-in-law doesn’t judge.

^^ This. It makes vacuuming so much easier and doesn't feel like a chore anymore. It's so simple to maneuver (actually quite cool how it swivels), quiet, empties quickly, and does an excellent job picking up dirt and hair. Well worth the money. And not having to deal with a cord to plug and unplug when going from room to room is heaven. We have the animal version. Another point to mention: it comes with a wall mount charge station, which was something I didn't want on display in my house. (We don't have any wall where it could be hidden). Don't let that dissuade you if you feel the same way. This mount is not mandatory for charging, and you DON'T have to use this. The Dyson charges with a supplied wall outlet cord, so you can just stand the vacuum in a corner to charge it, then put it back in the closet when it's fully charged.

I have a Dyson cordless Animal and it’s perfect for me. I also have a really nice almost new Kirby ($800+ price tag) I picked up for $10 at a garage sale because the people didn’t understand you could replace the belts for a couple dollars. I use the Dyson all the time because it’s so much easier and less mental commitment for my ADHD brain to pick up and use a cordless vacuum whenever I need it. I can vacuum for three seconds and put it back before I get distracted. Easily worth the money because now I actually vacuum as opposed to getting stressed out about the whole process of plugging in, lifting, storing the giant Kirby and not vacuuming at all in the end.
