Dyson 332037-01, V11 Animal, Purple

Product Information

Or go with one of the V11 models and add a standalone soft roller brush, which you can get here – https://amzn. For comparison, the Dyson V11 Animal includes all of the parts and accessories listed above, EXCLUDING the soft dusting brush. If your home is mainly hard floors, then you won’t be able to make full use of one of the key V11 upgrades when using this tool. It ended up dragging the oats around instead of sucking them up when pulling the vacuum backward, the same as with the rice. If you’ve been a fan of Dyson for some time, you may remember other models through the years that were designated as “Fluffy”.

Also, can any of the attachments “attach” to the stick vac itself for easy off-and-on use while cleaning? This design is said to result in better airflow and stronger suction, compared to the V6 or V8 models. I also like the idea that the V11 can auto-sense the flooring type so I could clean hardwoods and rugs without swapping heads. I’ve noticed from your reviews that the main disadvantage of V10 is the design to empty the dust bin–not too big a problem perhaps? The V11 is a clear upgrade, however, due to the strong suction, improved floorhead, LCD screen, and smart suction capabilities.Want an advanced digital screen: Whether you go with the V11 Animal or the V11 Torque Drive, both models offer an advanced digital screen with more notifications and settings than previous models. It does a great job at cleaning both low-pile carpet and long pile carpet, and has plenty of brush bar power for agitating carpet fibres. While the overall cleaning performance of the V11 (see down below) was still quite good (nearly flawless in fact), I still think the soft roller head makes a noticeable difference on hard surfaces.

Thanks to a revolutionary cord-free format, it also transforms for easy cleaning up high, and into a handheld for quick cleans close at hand. Like I said, there wasn’t a huge difference in total debris cleaned, but it feels necessary to include this detail.We recommend getting a version with the “Fluffy” Soft Roller floorhead if you have lots of hard floors, as it’s brilliant at picking up both small particles and large debris. The V11 Animal has an LED screen that shows an estimate of the remaining battery life as well as simple controls to change cleaning mode.

My hesitation is the fear that, due to the increase in suction from the V11 Animal to the Outsize, there may be too much suction (unless I run the machine only on Eco mode) for our regular/high pile carpet (the only intended use for the machine). Combining the strong suction with a detachable floorhead, handheld mode, and wand for high locations makes them both excellent at tackling dirt and dust almost anywhere in the home. Nice smart features, nice extra suction power, however, it’s quite a lot extra for what only amounts to a small difference in usability and overall cleaning performance. Like the V11 Torque and other models in this range, it’s capable of running for up to 60 minutes and has enough power to clean most surfaces. The difference is that the V11 Torque Drive has a more advanced LED screen and includes an extra mini dusting brush.During our cleaning performance tests, we found this model to be a little better at capturing debris from hardwoods without blowing it around the floor. The Dyson V11 Absolute has all of the same parts, features, and accessories as the V11 Torque Drive.
