"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"Used them on a 50k without having to recharge."
"I live in a 2700 square foot cookie-cutter tract house. First floor is laminate with an office that has carpet. Then there’s the stairs which leads to 5 carpeted bedrooms, two tile bathrooms, a laundry room, and a walk-in carpeted closet. I can get all of that done one charge."

"I hate to hold pressing the power button all the time."
"I couldn’t get over having to press the button down the entire time vacuuming."
"My v15 detect has been nothing but problems. ... I was having an issue where I would start the vacuum and it would cut power. Repress the trigger it would run for another few seconds then cut power. ... the first time they sent a new battery. It made the problem even worse."

"Shitty plastic case for 160$"
"I can’t justify paying 200$ for plastic case Wooting too."
"No, ofc it’s not “worth it” ... the only merit is he which now other keyboards have for cheaper."
davidrepairsdysons 0.5Only on V10 and v11 screw in types otherwise Dyson triggers don’t break. Performance is there - quality is questionable. Heaps of maintenance needed. I am the dyson reddit mod and a Dyson business owner.
Ok_Sundae_2071 0.3I have a Dyson V8 and a V11 Torque handheld on fake wood floors right now. They were good for the hair but TRASH at picking up litter. Probably would be better picking it up off carpet.
Messymomhair 0.3I just returned the Dyson V11 despite the fact that it had the strongest suction power of any cordless vacuum we've tried, and it's because of the trigger, which also makes it difficult to maneuver. The fact that they haven't created a vacuum with an on and off button is pretty ridiculous. Not worth $400+.
I just got the v11 plus for $399 on sale. It definitely has better suction power than the v10. So I wouldn't pay that price for the 10 whatsoever. Either way, I'm returning mine. Even though the suction power is fantastic, it's hard to maneuver (likely because it suctions so well) and hate that it doesn't have an on and off button like other cordless vacuums. Instead, you have to press the button the entire time as you're vacuuming. That, combined with it being top heavy, makes it a no-go for me. Search Vacuum Wars videos on YT for recommendations.

empathetic_witch 0.2That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.
accidentalscientist_ 0.1I like mine a lot, but the biggest thing that bothers me is the battery. It doesn’t last quite long enough to vacuum my living room, kitchen, and back room. And it takes like 5 hours to charge. So vacuuming takes planning and I can’t get it all done at once anymore. My next vacuum will be a ryobi cordless.
Amazing_Finance1269 0.1Mine is definitely over 5 years at this point and the only issue is some battery degradation on max power mode. Ive used it almost daily this whole time.
arjun21212 0.1I bought a Dyson v11 a few years ago. Used it for a good few years consistently. One day found a crack in the top cannister - that quickly became larger and became a hole. At which point suction dropped significantly. When calling up Dyson I’m not covered by warranty any longer - fine, I just want a working Vacuum. When asked for the replacement part, it would cost $200-300 dollars to replace. Annoying - fine, I just want a working Vacuum, asap. They don’t have the replacement part in stock, and I’d need to call back when they do. When I asked, how would I know when they have it in stock to know when to callback, I just got a blank response from the customer service rep saying that’s the process all their other customers have to go through to. 1) why do they have so many customers with broken Dyson devices 2) If this is a common fault in the V11, that they’ve run out of stock of this part, why the hell not keep more inventory. It was this day I decided I am an avid-Dyson hater, and will not buy another one of their overpriced, plastic, made in China products.
Asz_8 0.1Bought a V11 too. It’s so fucking good.
b3nighted 0.1My Dyson v11 is 3 years old. Broker trigger, then staying on, then the canister latch broke. Plus various cracks in the handle close to the battery. The performance is great, the quality is shit, customer support is just a L on the forehead, a raspberry and a middle finger. I already have a miele c3, I love the dyson's washable filters and performance, but such shitty plastic and generally low quality for that price is unacceptable. I'm also looking for a good stick vac that doesn't tangle with long hairs and has decent washable filters but am trying my best to avoid Dyson.
BeardedGlass 0.1Wife and I have a Dyson V11 cordless and been using it with no problem for almost a decade now. Are we just incredibly lucky? Reading the hate in this sub makes it seem as if we won the lottery with our personal experience lol Albeit we clean ours periodically.
