Just had time to use it. I do miss the option for floor or carpet. Suction so strong I can barely move it, however, with just doing one room, the canaster was almost full. So that is a plus!
I had a v11 for at least 5 years and it worked perfectly until it didn’t. The new one I purchased makes a weird sound like a person who has issues breathing but it works great. Not sure about the sound its making.

My sister and I both have the V11. We love it so much we bought one for our mom. She loves it too! The accessories are great and it’s easy to set up. Love how lightweight it is.
On the first use of my new v11, the Hair screw tool was attached. When finished using it, the click removal button wouldn't release the attachment. Several people in my household tried, and no one was able to get it to detach. I called Dyson and the agent was unable to provide a solution. She told me to contact the closest Service Center, which is about 90 minutes from where I live. The number she provided turned out to be a Dyson store that offered no help. I then look up the correct Service Center number (still 90 minutes away) and called hoping to get some advice. Instead was a message saying that the the Service Center was open from 10-2, and no chance to talk to someone who might help. I finally took the v11 to a local vacuum store (that does not sell Dyson) who was able to detach Hair screw tool using a small flathead screw driver.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you are open to it, we would be glad to follow up and confirm that your Dyson V11 is functioning properly and that you are able to use all attachments with ease. Please reach out to our chat or voice support team, and we will do our best to assist you further.

This is the best vacuum on every count. It is lightweight, extremely powerful, charges fast and has a flexible neck that allows you to easily shift your vacuum direction to catch any bits as you move across the floor or into tight corners.
Very happy so far. We had bought one of the originals when they first came out and was disappointed with it as it stopped working all together. But our full sized Dyson is now 25 years old and still going strong. So, we decided to try this again and glad we did.
