Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum, Nickel/Blue

No cord, great run time, it works great!!
I typically will return items if they do not deliver on the promise in the item description.This is hands down the best vacuum I have ever owned.It’s light weight, it has a long run time and it picks up everything.It does a better job than our Hoover upright vacuum.The Hoover is going into permanent storage after getting the Dyson.The only very minor con is the way you need to empty the dust canister but that doesn’t bother me enough to take any stars off of my rating.We love it!!!

so happy i finally own this vacuum!
i do a lot of pet sitting and one of my clients with a long haired cat has this vacuum. i was overjoyed to vacuum their house every time i was there! it picked up the very long cat hair and litter like no one’s business. finally, i got it on sale and i’m such a proud owner now. i love how small it is and how quick it is to get around. the ball joint at the head is so cool and it turns on a dime. the brush head has a self cleaning function that doesn’t leave a single long hair in the brush! the suction sometimes seems great and sometimes seems like it needs some help. maybe i just need to clean the filter more. the vacuum body is also very very easy to clean. the canister empties easily and the whole thing comes off with a simple button push. you can rinse the canister out in the sink and wipe the rest of the vacuum with a damp cloth and it looks like new! maybe i’m just a domestic cow, but this is definitely the best vaccine i’ve ever owned. it’s far better than the miele. it’s been picking up so much dirt from our carpets, i don’t think our old miele ever really vacuumed the house in the 5 years before we owned the dyson

The Dyson V11: A Probably Too Long Review
Our old Rocket vacuum needed replacing after 8 years, so I jumped on the holiday sale on the Dyson V11. I’ve used it for a couple weeks now, and I HAVE NOTES.• The important bit: It sucks. The vacuum’s suction is very good. Especially compared to my old Rocket. (I cleaned and maintained the filters on the old vacuum, but it could not provide the suction the V11 does.)•Packaging: Oh my god, so much packaging! It’s a Russian nesting doll of packaging. The vacuum itself is inside a box which is inside another box which is inside a shipping box. But wait… inside that last box? More boxes! Every single piece and attachment is packed inside its own box or nestles in an intricate support structure of cardboard. I mean, the pieces surely aren’t going to get damaged, but …so much packaging.• The Battery: Good new and bad news. It’s convenient to not have to stop to plug the old corded Rocket into a different outlet 4-5 times during vacuuming. The charging stand the V11 comes with makes it easy to recharge (if you can locate the stand near an outlet for the charging cord). HOWEVER, you get about 25 minutes of vacuuming time (at the recommended, medium power setting) on a full charge. For a four bedroom family home, that is not going to be enough! I’d rather have to move a cord and get it done all in one go. Recharge time is a couple hours.• The “Motorbar cleaning head” (the brush roller), designed to not get tangled with hair and string, works like a charm. I normally vacuum up a lot of long hair and dental floss, but not a strand stuck in the V11’s roller.• The handle: The design of the handle is unexpectedly not ergonomical. Being aligned at 90 degrees to the shaft makes the V11 more difficult to push *forward* as your hand is naturally pushing more towards the floor. More importantly, there is a seam in the plastic casing of the vacuum body right above the trigger. The top of your finger will rub against this seam constantly. It will rub a sore on top of your finger.• The trigger: Some people have complained about having to hold down the trigger to keep the vacuum running. I expected to have a problem with this, but I didn’t. Just holding the V11 in a normal way rests your finger on the trigger during use, and it’s so sensitive that I seldom release it accidentally. (The sensitivity is actually almost a problem, I sometimes accidentally trigger the vacuum just handling it.)• Length: It’s important. The grip of the V11’s handle is about 40″ from the floor. The handle of my old Rocket was 42″. As a 6’2″ older person, I have to bend a little more than I like to vacuum with the V11. Most people probably won’t have that problem.• Other notes: Because of physics, dust spinning around the inside of the plastic canister generates static electricity. If you touch the plastic casing during operation, you can get a little shock. Also, when removing the shaft and brush head to empty the dust canister, the shaft/head won’t stand up by itself for you (something my old Rocket would do), it just falls over.In conclusion, I kind of wish my old Rocket still did the job, but at the end of the day, the Dyson V11 has superior vacuuming capability, and that’s what you need. It has some pleasant features and some mildly annoying drawbacks, but it’s worth the holiday price.

I Love this Dyson. I have had the V7 for years and years and love it but was time for an upgrade. I chose the V11 after reading comparables to the V15. The V11 appeared to meet my needs so I went with this product. Absolutely no disappointment. The suction is powerful, even on the Eco level which is what I mainly use. It is a bit heavier and larger than my V7 but it is fine. I noticed there were comments that you have to hold the trigger the whole time in use, again I am fine with this as I needed to do the same with the V7. I have a dog and vacuum every single day. Great product! Highly recommend.

This vacuum is amazing. While it is very expensive, it does what I need it to and is quieter than I thought which is very helpful. I am looking forward to using it often.

Definitely a zero star rating on my purchase. I received a used, dirty damaged vacuum. Purchased as a gift and no time to return it before Christmas.
