I like the Torque Drive cleaning head more than the Direct Drive, but I also wish that we could have had the mattress tool and up-top adaptor with the Dyson V11 models. cyclones generate forces of more than 79,000g to fling microscopic particles – such as pollen and bacteria – into the bin. In the table below, you will find the figures for the handheld unit as well as the full unit (wand and floorhead attached) for balanced results based on what you are likely to use in your own home.

Either way you look at it, both the V10 and V11 are much quieter than previous V series models How we do Noise Test Depending on what you want to vacuum first, you choose a suitable attachment. The assembly of the suction attachments is super easy with a simple movement. But now that the torque drive adjusts automatically, the good old soft roller probably won’t be of much use anymore. Storage and Charging StationThe Dyson V11 is heavier than the V10, and it can be quite noticeable at first. With the larger battery life and slightly longer size, it is hard to keep new models below 3kg. While this is something most people can get used to as they clean, if you have arthritis, you might have a difficult time getting the hang of the Dyson V11. How we do Weight Test

Dyson's V11 is another gem of a device from the world's most advanced vacuum designer. With its cordless design, automated head adjustment system, excellent battery life, and range of attachments, it really does brush off the opposition, wiping the floor – so to speak – with almost every other brand. This tech also creates what is known as fade-free suction power. This is where the power and suction of the machine do not lessen as the bin fills up or the cord free vacuum runs low on charge, which means low power. The V10 started the trend off strong, with a boost cleaning mode that stayed in the very low 70s, and an eco mode that was in the low 60s.

To give you clear results, we combed a load of dog hair (100g) into a five foot section of low-medium pile carpet. In the end of our review, the question remains: Is it a good price-performance ratio and is it worth buying a Dyson V11 cordless vacuum cleaner? During the process, 14 cyclones generate a centrifugal force of more than 79,000 G and transport dirt particles, pollen and bacteria into a container. Once that was done, we went over it with the Direct Drive head for 20 seconds on boost cleaning mode.
