We have been using a traditional canister style plug in vacuum for years. Finally made the decision to get a Dyson because it was on a deep discount. We couldn't be more happy. It does a better job than the big heavy vac plus it's so portable and light weight. I've vacuumed more times in the past two weeks than all year before that lol
Received this V11 vacuum cleaner last week. This is my first cordless vacuum cleaner. I enjoyed that I don't need to hassle with the cord anymore. I have been vacuuming small areas more often now since it is very easy to just pick it up and vacuum. I bought the V11 because I did not know how easy and powerful the cordless vacuum will be. Now I have tried it, I wish I had bought a better model.
However, there is one thing that Dyson can improve on. The handle is not very comfortable for holding the vacuum. I got a blister between my thumb and the index finger after I used it for abut 45 minutes. That is why I only gave it a 4 star.
Last month, I purchased a V11 Dyson cordless vacuum. My carpets and floors are super clean and I cannot believe how much dirt is picked up. The suction is super powerful.
