Dyson 332037-01, V11 Animal, Purple

Product Information

Handheld mode. All Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners can be used as a handheld by detaching the main tube, and the V11 is no exception. This makes all three versions of the V11 great for cleaning stairs and car interiors. In terms of their respective ability to remove pet hair, both the V11 Torque Drive and Animal (and Animal Plus) are exactly the same.

Regarding the V11, the soft roller brush is designed for hard surfaces, not low pile rugs. Will it work on low carpets? Yes, to some degree, but I would not expect performance to be great. What makes the Absolute so much more expensive though? The main reason is that the Absolute comes with the new High Torque floorhead. Aside from providing more power, the High Torque floorhead is capable of responding to the V11’s “Dynamic Load Sensor” technology, which automatically adjusts suction depending on the floor type.If you want a high-end Dyson, but need to save some money, go with the V10 Animal. It’s not as good as the V11, but for the money it’s still an exceptional deal – https://amzn.to/2IwkYD4 For the complete V11 experience, we recommend the Dyson V11 Absolute. This is the only model that comes with both the High Torque and Soft Roller floorheads, so it’s brilliant for cleaning any type of floor. This is also the model to buy if your home has lots of hard floors, as the Soft Roller is superior to the High Torque for cleaning hard surfaces. Battery: 3,600mAh 20-45 minutes in Auto mode (60 min in Eco without powered head, 12 minutes in Boost mode)

Do you live in a country where the V11 Absolute is available? If so, then by all means, get the V11 Absolute. Up to 60 minutes battery life with a 4.5 hour charge time. All versions of the V11 provide up to an hour of run-time, although this is only on the lowest power setting and without a motorised tool. We found that the V11 still provides decent battery life even when in its “Medium/Auto” mode though.The soft roller brush is just another option for hardwoods and other hard surfaces. Historically, Dyson has always offered a V-series model with these soft fluffy cleaning heads. So lots of people like them and expect them to be included. The differences between these models come down to accessories and an LCD screen, neither of which impact hair cleaning performance. The Dyson V11 looks very similar to its predecessor the V10, with a sleek futuristic design that isn't an eyesore if you forget to stow it away in the cupboard. Increases the level of seal created by the vacuum. If it’s pushed all the way to the right (facing the machine) then the gates will be open, creating less seal and less suction. But also allowing the vacuum to go over larger debris. This config can be helpful if you find the vacuum is creating too much suction, dragging up carpets, etc.

There is no question, the V11 Outsize is a notable improvement over the V11 Torque Drive & Animal. However, it’s also more expensive. Combination tool: This tool provides the function of a short / wide crevice tool as well as a soft dusting brush. Its versatility makes it nice when cleaning indoor spaces like couches and furniture, as well as when cleaning your car. I have 90% wood floors and that is my focus for a vacuum. After reading this review I am going to look at the V10 Absolute. I had not read about the soft roller feature before and the benefits to wood floors. Thank you for this great comparison!! Reply I don’t believe they do, Andy. I think all there is is the wall mount (which can also some of the tools). Since you have both carpets and hard surfaces, but mostly hard surfaces, I would suggest you go with the Dyson V10 Absolute – https://amzn.to/3etP9tJOutsize is definitely heavier and larger compared to the Torque Drive. So it is definitely more difficult to move by comparison. Crevice tool: This tool is longer than the combination tool and provides a narrower opening for capturing debris; great for in-between couch cushions, behind furniture, or other hard to reach spaces. Note: Dyson also sells a larger version of the V11, called the V11 Outsize. We haven’t included the Outsize in this comparison, but it’s worth considering if you need a bigger vacuum.
