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)

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.

My house is 2500sqft and my Dyson stick vacuum is freaking amazing. The Dyson hate on this sub is wild, cause in the real world everyone with them loves them. I get about 45mins on my battery, which is plenty for my house. The battery is also like 6 years old at this point and still going strong - I have a dog living in the house and one of my living rooms is carpet too so the vacuum gets a decent work out. The model I have is some weird convoluted name like "V11 Absolute pro" or something like that, and I highly recommend it. Grabbing it for something small and quick is super convenient, it just hangs in my closet charging itself, and once a week when we do a deep clean it lasts no problem.

I don't understand how everyone in this page somehow has the same bad experience with Dyson.. we bought our v11 pro like 5+ years ago and it's still incredibly good. The suction on it is crazy and the battery will still run for 40+ minutes. My aunt has the same vacuum, she was the one who convinced me to buy it because she also freaking loves it. Did we somehow get the only 2 on the market that work? How else is literally everyone on Reddit calling them junk?
