Dyson V11 Vacuum Review

The Dyson V11 and Samsung Jet 75 each have their strengths, meaning one might suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Dyson lasts slightly longer on a single battery, comes with a wider assortment of attachments, has a telescopic wand, and has an automatic power adjustment feature that lets it increase its suction power to match the surface you're cleaning. Conversely, the Samsung feels sturdier, performs better on high-pile carpet, and is fully compatible with a self-emptying base station, which is somewhat pricey and does incur high recurring costs but also makes it even easier to maintain. Pricier variants of the Samsung also come with two batteries, giving it a longer overall runtime.

The Dyson V7 and the Dyson V11 are similarly performing cordless stick/handheld vacuums. The V7 is slightly better at cleaning on low-pile carpets despite its less powerful 100W motor, and it's a bit lighter. On the other side, the V11 has a better performance on bare floors. It's better at storing away when not in use, it has a slightly larger dirt compartment, and its battery performance is much better.

The Samsung Jet 90 Complete and the Dyson V11 are very similar vacuums, but the Samsung is better for most uses. The Samsung picks up more large debris like cereal from bare floors and has a slightly better overall performance on high-pile carpets. On the other hand, the Dyson is significantly easier to maintain and has longer maximum battery life.

The Miele Triflex HX1 is superior to the Dyson V11. The Miele feels better made, is easier to maintain, and performs better on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It also feels lighter in your hand and is more maneuverable. Conversely, the Dyson has a longer maximum battery life, more tools and brushes, a bigger dirt compartment, and slightly better performance on high-pile carpet.

The Dyson has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, incurs virtually no recurring costs, has a larger dustbin, and has a surface-type adjustment feature. Conversely, the LG clears more debris on bare floors and high-pile carpet, weighs less, and can be bundled with a second battery that effectively doubles its runtime.

The Dyson V11 and Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight each have their advantages, meaning that one may suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Dyson has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, has a rack station and an onboard tool clip, and has a motorized turbo brush. It also does a better job of clearing debris on low-pile carpet. Conversely, the Shark performs better on bare floors and high-pile carpet, is a little easier to maneuver thanks to its flexible wand, feels more sturdily built, has a larger dustbin, and charges faster while offering similar overall battery life.

The Dyson V11 is a better vacuum than the Dyson Omni-glide. The V11 delivers excellent performance on bare floors and does a very good job on carpets, too. It comes with a bigger variety of tools and brushes, and its dirt compartment can hold more debris. On the other hand, the Omni-glide is much lighter and recharges more quickly, although its performance on bare floors is mediocre.

The Samsung Bespoke Jet is better than the Dyson V11. The Samsung feels better built, weighs less, comes with two batteries that can be charged at once, giving it a longer overall runtime, and delivers better overall performance on all surface types. Its Cleaning Station accessory allows you to quickly empty its dustbin without creating a plume of dust. The Samsung is also fully compatible with a dedicated mopping floorhead for dealing with stains. However, the Dyson is easier to maneuver, takes up less room, and has an adjustable suction power slider.

The Dyson V11 and Tineco PURE ONE S11 are somewhat evenly matched, though one could be a better fit for you, depending on your exact needs. The Tineco is a superior option for quick cleaning sessions, as it weighs considerably less and is a little bit quieter. Conversely, the Dyson is heavier but has a more potent suction motor that allows for better debris-pickup performance on carpets.

The Shark feels better built, it's significantly more maneuverable, and it has a better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet. The Dyson, on the other hand, is easier to maintain, has a bigger dirt compartment, and more tools. It also has better performance on high-pile carpet.

The Dyson V11 is a better overall vacuum than the Shark Rocket Corded. The Dyson stores easier, has a bigger dirt compartment, and is cordless, so you can go anywhere with it. It can also adjust its power level to better suit the mess, and it comes with several tools that help to clean more specific objects like blinds, which is nice. On the other hand, the Shark is corded, so you never have to worry about running out of battery life or recharging it.

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is a better vacuum for cleaning floors, while the Dyson V11 is more versatile. The Ball Animal 2 is an upright vacuum with outstanding performance on bare floors and carpets. It also has a bigger dirt compartment and a pet grooming tool. The V11 is a cordless stick vacuum, so you're not limited by a cord in terms of its range. You can also use it as a handheld vacuum, which is helpful to vacuum stairs or inside cars.

The Dyson V11 and Shark Vertex Lightweight Cordless are fairly evenly matched overall, and you may prefer one over the other depending on your needs. The Dyson is easier to maintain, has a longer maximum battery life, and performs better on low and high-pile carpet.

The V12 performs better on bare floors with its soft roller head, clears more pet hair on upholstered surfaces, charges faster while offering similar battery life, and has a lighter construction that's easier to maneuver. Its particle counter could also be handy if you suffer from allergies and want to know about the concentration of fine particles in your home. However, the V11 does a better job cleaning low-pile carpeting and features a larger dustbin that won't need emptying as often.

The Samsung Jet 70 is better than the Dyson V11. The Samsung is notably lighter, charges much faster, makes a little less noise, and delivers better performance on bare floors as well as low and high-pile carpets. However, the Dyson has a surface detection system that allows it to automatically increase its suction power depending on the floor type that you're on. It also has a longer battery life and is more effective in dealing with pet hair on upholstered furniture.

The Dyson V11 is better than the Samsung Jet 60, though the Samsung is a good alternative for the price. The Dyson is a little easier to maintain, incurs virtually no recurring costs, has a telescopic wand, lasts longer on a single charge, does a better job dealing with pet hair on upholstery, and performs better on bare floors and low-pile carpet.

The V11 does a much better job of vacuuming up large debris on all surface types, it has a cordless design so you can go anywhere with it, and you can even configure it into handheld mode. However, its battery performance is alright, and unlike the corded Cinetic Big Ball, you'll need to make sure it's charged before you use it. That being said, the Cinetic Big Ball is also easier to maintain.

The Dyson V11 and the Dyson Humdinger are both great vacuum cleaners, but the V11 is a bit more versatile thanks to its hybrid stick/handheld design. Although the Humdinger is more portable and has fewer parts to maintain, the V11 has a longer battery life and larger dirt compartment, so it's better for cleaning larger spaces. Their overall performance on different surface types is similar, though the V11 performs better on low-pile carpets.

The Dyson V11 is a better overall vacuum than the Shark APEX Upright. Thanks to its stick/handheld design, the Dyson is lighter, slightly more maneuverable, and as it has a cordless design, you don't have to worry about its range. It also does a better job cleaning high-pile carpet. However, the Shark has a much better performance on bare floors, and its dirt compartment can hold more debris before needing emptying.

The Wyze Cordless Vacuum and Dyson V11 each have advantages, and one may suit you better than the other, depending on your needs.

Conversely, the Dyson has a longer battery life, a larger dustbin, and is more effective in dealing with bulky debris like cereal on bare floors.

The Dyson V11 and BISSELL CrossWave Pet Pro are differently-designed vacuums with different intended uses. The Dyson is a cordless stick/handheld vacuum that's easier to maintain, incurs minimal recurring costs, is easier to maneuver, and performs notably better on carpeted surfaces. Meanwhile, the BISSELL is a corded hybrid upright vacuum mop that does a much better job of cleaning stains and can deal with liquid spills.

The Shark APEX UpLight and the Dyson V11 are similar stick vacuums. The Shark has better performance on bare floors and low-pile carpet, while the Dyson is slightly better on high-pile carpet. The Shark has a better build quality, and the Dyson is more versatile as it's a cordless vacuum, but that means you have to worry about its battery life, which doesn't last very long on the max power settings.

The Dyson V11 is better than the Shark ION F80 Cord-Free MultiFLEX for most uses. It performs better on carpet as it sucks up a decent amount of debris on both low-pile and high-pile carpet. This means it's also better suited to clean cars and it comes with more tools too. The Shark has a wand that can bend 90 degrees so it has better maneuverability and the batteries on the Shark are also better.

The Dyson V11 is better overall than the Roborock H6 Adapt, though they perform similarly. While the Roborock is more effective on high-pile carpet, the Dyson is slightly better on low-pile carpet and bare floors, particularly at picking up bulky debris like cereal. They're both easy to maneuver and reconfigure into handheld vacuums. The Dyson is a bit less portable but has a slightly larger dirt compartment. On the other hand, the Roborock has better overall battery life.

The Dyson V11 and Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away are differently-designed cordless vacuums, meaning one might suit you better, depending on your needs.

Meanwhile, the Shark is a cordless upright that delivers better performance on all surface types, does a better job dealing with debris in cracks, feels lighter in your hand, charges faster, and has a larger dirt compartment.

The Dyson V11 and the Roborock S6 are two very differently designed vacuums. The Dyson is a stick/handheld with little recurring costs and easier maintenance. It has a slightly larger dirt compartment, and it can be reconfigured into a handheld vacuum for cleaning tough-to-reach places. It also does a better job of cleaning low and high-pile carpet. However, the Roborock is a robot vacuum, which is better if you prefer a hands-off approach to cleaning. It's more maneuverable, it does a better job of cleaning bare floors, and it's well-built. It also has a longer-lasting battery life, and it comes with a mop attachment feature for tackling sticky messes, although we don't currently test for this.

The Dyson V11 and the Roborock S6 MaxV have different strengths, and you may prefer either one depending on your needs. The Dyson is a stick/handheld vacuum, so it's more suitable for quick clean-ups and tackling awkward areas like stairs or your car's interior. It also incurs fewer recurring costs and delivers much better performance on low and high-pile carpets. On the other hand, the Roborock is a robot vacuum that offers great automation features and a mostly hands-off cleaning experience. It also has a much better build quality.

The Dyson V11 is better overall than the Dyson Micro 1.5kg. The Micro is lighter and more portable, but it's not suited for carpets, so it's less versatile. Meanwhile, the V11 has a larger dirt compartment and longer maximum battery life, and though it's not quite as effective as the Micro on bare floors, it still does an excellent job on this surface type.
