Der Dyson Service ist 10/10. Habe zwei im Gebrauch. Einen V11 Absolute und einen V11 Outsize. Der Absolute hatte nach ein paar Jahren das Problem, dass der Knopf nicht mehr richtig ging. Garantie war bereits abgelaufen. Dyson hat uns für die Versandkosten einen komplett neuen Korpus (!) geschickt. Einzig den Akku mussten wir noch selber einbauen. Die Sauger sind grade mit Katze echt genial. Würde ich immer wieder kaufen.

For dealing with dog hair on hardwood and carpets, try the Dyson V11 Absolute. It's lightweight and cordless, making cleanup a breeze!

Dyson V11 Absolute. Comes with soft roller head for hardwood and power head for carpets. We’ve had ours for 5yrs and no issues. This model has removable battery so can add a 2nd battery if needed but never found that we needed one. 5yrs and have not seen any noticeable drop in battery life. We have a big dog and a cat and this thing pulls hair out of the carpet like a pro. We tired numerous Shark pet Vacs and they all sucked (or didn’t suck lol)

Per hair off hard floor is an easy task for a vacuum. I'd get a Dyson V11 with a soft roller head. Plenty in the sale

Mine came with a torque drive head (motor bar) and a soft roller. We mainly use the soft roller for our amtico floor but occasionally use the main motor bar head when the other has been washed. No noticeable scratching at all. It's also very effective on hardwood just a bit louder really. Our V11 is 5 years old, the heads have changed very slightly I believe

Best performing is the Dyson but I guess performance is less of a concern if this is intended for quick pickups on hard floor only? I'd look at others with multi-cyclone technology Vs sharks single or dual cyclone. You will spend more time than you want cleaning a shark filter... Dyson on the other hand you will need to rinse out every 4-6 weeks or so. A Dyson V11 is probably plenty for your needs, especially if your country sells them with a soft roller head

The best performing cordless is the Dyson but their customer service is pretty awful in the US. That being said, I have had a V11 for 5 or 6 years now and its still going strong. It's a secondary vacuum for me now, I have a Sebo E3 (corded) too

My Dyson V11 absolute+ just died (motor issue), gone through the repair process and it can’t be fixed. I love that vacuum, used it everyday, rather fuss free maintenance: washable filter, easy to remove the dust collection bin and rollers for washing. The main problem is that it doesn’t last. From what I read, 3-4 years seem to be the average. Mine lasted 3.5 years before the motor spoiled, had it fixed and a year later (now), it spoiled again. I’m looking to get a new one but not sure which version is good (V8 V12 V16)? Don’t want wet vacuum. Open to trying other brands of cordless vacuum if they are as good and even better if they can last.

Yes I enjoyed using Dyson and feel hesitant switching to other brands. Went to a battery recycling business and the boss showed us that Dyson uses good quality ones. I didn’t have battery issue for the 4.5 years I had it, only the motor. Fixing it each time costs more than $200 (thankfully mine was under extended warranty)

Wir haben 2020 einen Dyson V11 Absolute Extra Pro gekauft. Da hatten wir anfangs ein paar Probleme: 1. Einer der beiden Akkus war defekt. Wurde ohne Probleme getauscht 2. Wir hatten nach 1,5 Jahren ein Problem mit der großen Bodendüse, haben ohne Probleme eine komplett neue bekommen (Reparaturzeit: 1 Tag; gerade nochmal in die Mails geschaut) 3. Wir waren dumm und haben nie den Luftfilter gewechselt bis er irgendwann anfing zu meckern "Lufteinlässe blockiert". Auch hier hat uns der Support 1A weiter geholfen und seit wir ein paar neue haben (mehrere damit einer nach dem saubermachen in Ruhe trocknen kann) haben wir gar kein Problem mehr Also Service war bei mir absolut Top und würde nochmal einen kaufen.
