I could kick myself for not buying this sooner. It is lightweight, agile, easy to get under tables, between chairs, under furniture, etc. AND IT REALLY SUCKS!!! The best part is NO CORD to deal with . Battery life is plenty for vacuuming all my rugs, pet crate, dog bed, and the entire downstairs. Buy you a Dyson.
Nice to be able to take out just one piece of equipment that does the job of several that I used to need before. Considering that I use it mainly on wooden floors, it would have been nice to have the soft brush as well. Overall, does a great job and saves a lot of time.
We had a v10 animal for 5 years and were due for an upgrade. While I do like the battery gauge on the filter with the mode selector they both feel rather silly when the 10 had the same gauge on the battery and a slide button for modes. I really expected better. We use boost mode most of the time because unless it’s on a hard floor it doesn’t seem to do anything great and wow is the filter annoying. The 10 blew a little air from all around this one knocks papers off tables while using since it reduced areas for air to pass through the filter. Hair gets more caught above the basket making it very difficult to clean out. I was expected much more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This has the best suction. I used my old vacuum cleaner and then used this and I can't believe the stuff that came out of the rug!! It is great for hardwood floors too. It is lightweight and easy to use. The attachments are great!! I looked at Dyson vacs a long time ago and they seemed to be cheaply made but not anymore!!!! This is a great vacuum!!
Bought 2 weeks ago and ABSOLUTELY love it!!! I replaced my prior Dyson cordless vacuum and love the V11. Great vacuum and I only have positive comments. I'm actually excited to vacuum just to get to use my Dyson!!! Absolutely recommend.
