dyson v11 lcd screen not working for sale
In short: if a Dyson won’t turn on, even after being fully charged, it could be a part that isn’t connected properly. Everything connected properly, but it still won’t turn on? Then you will most likely have to buy a new Dyson battery.
When a cordless vacuum cleaner won’t turn on anymore, it’s time to recharge it. However, if it still does not turn on after charging, you have a problem.
With a Dyson vacuum cleaner it can happen that it suddenly no longer turns on. This seems to be a common problem with the Dyson V11 in particular. I’ve researched reasons why the Dyson vacuum cleaner suddenly won’t turn on and how you can possibly solve this.
If a Dyson suddenly doesn’t turn on, this can be for two main reasons: either for safety reasons or the vacuum cleaner simply isn’t getting enough power. For example, a Dyson with an open dust container or without a filter cannot be switched on to prevent damage.
There is a blockage in the vacuum cleanerIf a Dyson suddenly doesn’t turn on, this can be for two main reasons: either for safety reasons or the vacuum cleaner simply isn’t getting enough power.
To find out why your Dyson no longer turns on, it is important to check a few things first. Check out a handy checklist that I made below.Check whether the filters of the vacuum cleaner are properly connected and clean
To fix a Dyson that won’t turn on, we first need to know where the problem comes from. Press and hold the power button on the Dyson vacuum for at least 10 seconds and see what happens to solve the problem.
Does a red light come on? Then in many cases there is a problem with the battery. The battery of your Dyson is probably worn out and you need to buy a new one.
If the Dyson vacuum is pulsing, the vacuum will let you know there is a problem. As with a blue flashing light, the problem is often a clog in the vacuum cleaner. Do you have a Dyson V11 or V15? Then you will also see a message on the LCD display. In many cases it is a Dyson air duct blockage.
If the Dyson stops working at all – even after holding the power button for 10 seconds – there is a problem with the battery. The vacuum cleaner has no power at all. Before you just buy a new battery, it is important to check whether the Dyson is charging. In the article “Dyson vacuum not charging” I tell you how you can check this from A to Z.When the Dyson stops working at all – even after holding the power button for 10 seconds – there is a problem with the battery.
If you have come to the conclusion that a worn-out battery is the reason that your Dyson no longer turns on, you will have to replace it. Before you buy a new battery, it is important to pay attention to the following:Check if the battery is compatible with your Dyson (find out which Dyson you have)
Also check whether you may still have warranty on your battery. Discover the suitable battery for your Dyson in the overview below.Dyson stick vacuum serieBatteries
In summary: if the Dyson vacuum does not turn on when it is fully charged and you have checked it for loose parts, the battery is probably defective. Often the only solution is to buy a new Dyson battery.
The V11 brings more convenience to the table, like the sensor in the main cleaning head that automatically adjusts the suction depending on the floor type.
There isn’t much of a difference when it comes to surface pick-up for both. Theone advantage the Dyson V11 has is its ability to deep clean (30% better) for extended periods – up to 43 minutes.
Both vacuums utilize Dyson’s latest battery technology and the digital motor, enabling them to clean better and run longer than most cord-free stick vacuums.
Power: The Dyson V11 has 8.38% more airflow at the main cleaning head and 10.2% more at the wand than the V10, which translates to better overall cleaning performance on carpets.
Intelligent suction: Inside the V11’s main cleaning head is a sensor that detects the floor type and selects the right setting. This feature is there for convenience if you don’t want the hassle of constantly flipping through the different settings every time you encounter a transition. It helps extend the battery because you’re always using the proper setting.
Digital screen: The V11 (only available Absolute and Torque Drive) has a digital display that provides information about run time, cleaning mode, and when to clean the filters. This feature isn’t available with the V10.
Run time: The V11 will run for up to 74 minutes with the main cleaning head attached at the lowest setting, while the V10 only tops out at 61 minutes with the crevice tool.
Power Mode: Using the button below the screen, you can toggle between low, medium, and high power settings. You can also set it to automatic if you want more convenience.
Note that the screen is only available with the Torque Drive and Absolute versions. Unfortunately, it’s not available in the V11 Animal. The V11 Absolute is only available in the United Kingdom.
There’s no question that Dyson vacuums are excellent products that will clean the home. Are you willing to pay top dollar for the conveniences it brings to the table? If not, check out these Shark vacuums that aren’t as expensive but provide almost as much versatility and performance.
Direct drive head: This is the same tool found in the Dyson V7 and V8. It does not have adjustable gates and won’t do as well on hard floors. Only found in the V10 MotorHead.
Torque drive: This is an upgrade over the direct-drive head with two adjustable gates that dramatically improve debris pick-up on hard surfaces. This tool is available with the V10 Animal and V11 Torque Drive.
Soft roller (of Fluffy): Dyson developed a unique tool for hard floors. It has a soft roller bar that can capture even large dirt. Only available with the Absolute option.
Wall mountable dock: An optional tool for storing and charging the vacuum and some attachments. It will require drilling a few holes in the wall. There are third-party, self-standing docking stations available at different prices for people who don’t want to drill holes. Dyson also sells its version they call the DOK. One advantage these products have is the ability to store all the attachments in one place.
Next, we’ll look at how the V10 and V11 will clean on various surfaces. Most of these tests will focus on how these vacuumsperform on hardwood and carpets.
The V11’s torque drive also works well on hard floors, but it didn’t pick up everything in the forward pass when cleaning sand. It was able to clean everything in the subsequent passes.
Even if the V11 does not have the torque drive (at least in the US market), it still does very well on hard surfaces. This is a good indicator of the excellent design features of this tool.
On a low-pile carpet, the results are very close. Both scored high marks on this surface, with the V11 with a slighter better score in three of the four tests.
One advantage that the V11 has over the V10 is it runs longer in the middle setting. So between the two, I would get the V11 if your home has lots of carpet.
The V11 scored higher in 4 out of the five tests and did much better in the deep cleaning test because it could pick up more than 100%. Even in the middle (or auto) setting, the V11 picked up 99.97%, which is impressive for a cordless vacuum.
Having a larger motor and battery cells increases the weight of the V11. It weighs around 6.68 pounds, with most of it at the handle — the V10 weighs about 5.9 pounds.
It’s pretty simple to empty the Dyson V10 bin, just point, then push the lever down to empty contents. This system is much easier than the V6’s non-hygienic system; that’s pretty messy.
In the lowest power mode using the soft roller tool, the V11 will run for 81 minutes. For the V10, the number is 61 minutes using the crevice tool in the lowest setting.
One significant advantage the V11 has over the V10 is in deep cleaning. In the medium setting, which, in my opinion, is the most optimal setting for both on carpets, the difference is 10%.
Here’s the kicker: using the torque drive tool in the auto (or mid) setting, the V11 will still run for 73 minutes, while the V10 will run for more than 25 minutes.
V11 has lots of convenience features that will help make your life easier. One significant upgrade over the V10 is the motor’s digital display at the back.
The Dyson V11 has more power across all the power settings. Please check the chart below for the figures in CFM. I used an anemometer at the wand and main cleaning head to measure airflow.
Regarding ergonomics, the Dyson V10 would be the better option. It is lighter, thus less straining to use areas above floors. The difference between the two is less than a pound, but those extra ounces can wear on your arm and wrist.
Costs less: Dollar for dollar, the Dyson V10 provides exception value, the cheaper option than the V11. Cleaning tests show that the V10 has almost the same performance, at least on picking up surface dirt, with just a minuscule 1% difference.
Runs for an hour: Dyson says that the V10 will run for 60 minutes, and tests show that it exceeds this figure at 61 minutes. But that’s using non-motorized attachments. Even with the cleaning heads, it will run close to 29 minutes, which is a great number for a cordless.
You want the fluffy tool: This tool works wonders on bare floors, capable of picking up small and dirt pieces. Unfortunately, the V11 Absolute is only available in the UK. So if you need this tool, go for the V10 Absolute.
Better deep cleaning tool: The V11’s higher airflow is felt most in deep cleaning carpet, which is where it shines. It could still pick up 99% even in the middle power setting.
Cleans for more than an hour: Both options have a listed run time of 60 minutes. However, tests show that the V11 will run significantly longer – up to 80 minutes (40 minutes using the torque drive tool in the medium setting)!
Digital screen display: This screen tells you the battery status, cleaning mode, and when to clean the filter. It is a feature unique to the V11 Torque Drive (and Absolute in the UK).
Automatically adjusts suction:It has a sensor that detects the floor type (carpet or hard floor) and automatically adjusts suction to fit the surface. Dyson calls it the Dynamic Load Sensor that will detect resistance and change motor speed accordingly.
When the Dyson V11 hit the market this spring, we brought it into our lab and put it through the same battery of tests that we use for all stick vacuums.
The results? Stellar again. The Dyson V11 earns our top rating in the tests for cleaning carpet, floors, edges, and pet hair as well as for clean emissions. And it’s one of the quieter models in our ratings—an improvement over the V10.
The Dyson V11 has the longest run time of all the Dysons in our tests, at more than 43 minutes, second only to the run time of the Bissell Air Ram, highlighted below. But like many stick vacs, it takes a full 4 hours to recharge. At 6.6 pounds, it’s a pound heavier than the Dyson V8 but is still lighter than many stick vacs from other brands.
“There are a few shortcomings,” says Susan Booth, who oversees our vacuum testing. “Like other Dyson models, there’s no brush on/off switch and it’s not self standing, which means you have to hang it up to charge and store it.”
After our basic performance tests, we took a look at the specific features Dyson touts as improvements to the V11. “We designed the V11 to address the challenges of previous models,” a Dyson spokesman told CR.
Let’s go pro-level deep and look at the features, tools, and maintenance of Dyson’s latest stick vacuum. This is a comprehensive review of the Dyson V11 stick vacuum.
We buy amazing tech but sometimes those next-level features never actualize for us because we don’t take the time to learn how to use the item to its maximum capabilities. When I got my Dyson V11, I sat down for an hour or so reading instructions and watching videos learning as much as I could. Not because I have tons of time or a passion for vacuums (in fact, it’s my least favorite cleaning task), but because I just want to be so efficient with it so I can get the best results in the least amount of time. Plus, it’s my job. But most people aren’t pro cleaners for a living like I am, which is why I’m going to take what I have learned and level you up really quickly. You’ll have your Ph.D. in Dyson V11-ology by the time I’m done with you. I have designed this post to teach you everything you’ll need to know about using it LIKE A PRO, all in layman’s terms.
I am so excited to be partnering with Dyson Canada on this post; it has been a longtime dream of mine to work with Dyson since I’ve been using their tools for so many years and can vouch for how top-notch they are. So three cheers for realizing your dreams!
The design is simple – the red buttons you see can be pressed to release the attached object or tool, and that’s where to match the snap-in connector. I find that a lot of people struggle with the mechanics of attaching and detaching attachments on vacuums which leads to rattling, shaking and unnecessary ‘vacuum aggression’ (which I’ve been known to have myself). A tip I always share is, if you are working too hard or feel you might break something while attaching or removing a tool, that’s not how the mechanism was intended to be operated. If you are doing this properly, it should be very easy. If it’s not easy, re-strategize until you figure it out.
The wall mount isn’t just there to look pretty, it charges your vacuum when not in use and stores tools. Plus, let’s be honest, it looks RAD. Hang it up. Just do it. Trust me.
Dyson has allowed users to select power modes for several iterations now. With the V11, three options are offered to help maximize up to approximately 60 minutes of fade-free cleaning (I’ll explain this concept shortly!) on a single charge. The three settings are:
You can easily select the mode by tapping the silver button and remember, the less power the vacuum uses, the longer the battery can last. A feature I really like that the LCD screen displays a run-time countdown to the secondwhile the vacuum is in use. This allows you to make better power mode decisions and maximize your cleaning time. Interestingly, a lot of people think they have to clean in max mode to get the best clean – a common mistake that drains the battery – but remember, the vacuum can perform really well in all three modes. Engage the right mode at the right time and you’ll always get great results. Also, a quick reminder this is a dry vacuum only, so please don’t use this on anything damp or wet – let all surfaces dry before using.
One of the criticisms that cordless vacuums receive is that they compromise on suction. They’re so small, they have no corded power source, how can it really…clean? I hear this all the time. In fact, when tested, the V11 twice the suction of any cord-free vacuum on the market (!!!!). Further, it offers up to 60 minutes of fade-free cleaning. When you read the term ‘fade-free’ battery, this means that toward the end of the clean when the charge is just about gone, the vacuum will still work as well as it did when it just finished charging. I have noticed that time and again, when I use it on debris both large and small, it does a great job with suction. Yes, I’m a fan if it wasn’t already obvious.
This is a very handy addition to the V11 model. Not only does it display power modes and has that run-time countdown that I mentioned earlier, but it also helps troubleshoot blockages and common problems. If it detects a blockage, it’ll display a message on the screen and show you where to look for the blockage. Dyson told me that about 80% of their help center calls were for easily solvable challenges which is why they created this handy feature. I also like it because rather than scheduling or guessing, the screen will tell you when to clean the filter (it even reminds you how to twist it off!). Honestly, when I first heard about the screen I wasn’t overly moved by it but once trying it out and comparing it to previous Dyson models and other brands, I understood just how helpful this feature was. It allowed me to be smarter with my vacuuming.
This is where we can go really deep on technology, but I am not going to do that here because I need you to stay with me. What you need to know is this: Dyson has over 300 engineers working in the motors team alone, and you can clearly see how well dirt is being sucked up by just looking in the bin. It’s hard technology to replicate and they do it really well, arguably, best in the category.
I find this can be one of the more confusing things to understand when we are being ‘told’ about a vacuum, so I want to take the time to explain this. A vacuum’s job is to remove allergens and dirt from the surface it covers, filter out these particles – large and small – from the air, it sucks up and expels clean air via the exhaust – thus improving indoor air quality all the while not clogging, overheating and looking sleek. It’s a BIG ask. A lot has to go right for this to work properly and many vacuums simply fall short. While admittedly geeky, I think this should be a major consideration factor when thinking about vacuums because this is what vacuums are all about, improving indoor air quality by removing dust, debris, and allergens.
When air and debris end up in a vacuum’s bin/canister, we hope everything filters out by the time the exhaust air blows out. With a Dyson vacuum, the design is such that a lot happens right IN THE BIN before air ever hits the filters at the back/top of the vacuum thanks to cyclone technology and the digital motor (this is called full machine filtration). Let me explain: when dirt and air are sucked into the bin, the motor activates that cyclone technology to spin super fast and separate out dirt and allergens from the air. By the time the air has been shot out of the bin and into the top filtration system, much of it has already been cleaned, leaving those filters to do less work. In fact, the filtration system is so powerful that it captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, making sure only clean air is expelled – so that exhaust air hitting you is ????CLEAN????. As an aside, I am told the V11 filtration and sealing system took three engineers and six months to perfect! Plus, the V11 filters are hand washable, reusable, and the LCD screen will indicate when the filter needs cleaning. I should also mention that Dyson vacuums are allergy and asthma certified. If you have pets, kids, or allergy and asthma sufferers at home, effective filtration is non-negotiable. Comprehensive, yes. Geeky, yes. Important, yes.
This is the head you’ll want to use for all soft surfaces, but know that it can transition and be used on hard floor surfaces, too. This head features Dyson’s Dynamic Load Sensor technology which means the tool knows how much suction is required for a job based on the floor type, ensuring you get more out of your battery life – all by kicking the vacuum into auto mode when the cleaner head is clicked in. What’s cool is that when it transitions from hard to soft surfaces, you’ll hear the suction level adjust.
A couple of other things to note, the velvet strip bordering the frame helps to protect the vacuum head from nicking a piece of furniture or a wall if it bumps into it, and the red +/- adjuster on the front allows you to manually adjust for high (+) or low (-) pile carpet. You’ll find once you make that adjustment, your vacuum glides easily on carpet. I leave it on (-) because I have low pile rugs and hard floors.
This offers up two in one for cleaning tight spaces around the house. Admittedly, when I first started vacuuming with a Dyson I had no clue what this tool was for but I’ve since seen the light: it provides extra cleaning oomph to tight areas where a bit of brushing is needed before anything can be vacuumed up. For example, I have a sliding glass door leading to a deck. The tracks get dusty and dirty when the door is used a lot in the summer. This tool is perfect for cleaning that sliding door track – it sweeps the tight corners and tiny edges that collect dust and leaves the tight area clean. So the next time you find yourself vacuuming and tight corner and wish you could just sweep some debris out before vacuuming, that’s when you’ll reach for this combo tool. It’s also great for car interiors and when snapped into the extension pole, it’s perfect for high dusting. Remember, if you don’t need the bristles, just pull them back and use the larger crevice tool.
Here’s another tool I wasn’t quite sold on for a while until I figured it out and started using it. Tsk tsk, just another classic example of how something so brilliant can be underutilized. The oval-shaped brush with soft bristles is used for delicate surface cleaning or – and this is a thing – vacuum-assisted dusting. Never heard of it? That’s OK. For all the years you wished you could have used a vacuum to get the dust out of those terribly tricky areas such as piles of computer wires, your crumb-laden keyboard, artwork, dusty light fixtures, mantles, brick or textured walls, tops of books on a bookshelf, planters, woven baskets, door frames and door panels, lampshades.. you get the idea! Problem now solved! You just needed vacuum-assisted dusting in your life. And here it is! The soft bristles gently sweep the dust away and are flexible enough to clean surfaces that have a lot of texture or are quite delicate.
And now, cleaning the vacuum cleaner. As the famous meme goes, when you clean the vacuum cleaner, you become the vacuum cleaner. The Dyson V11 is simple to maintain *but* maintenance is crucial. Since these aren’t exactly a drop in the bucket, I want to show you how to take proper care of yours. If you take care of it, it will last you for a long, long time.
The V11 has an easy to use and hygienic ‘point and shoot’ design, meaning that your face is far, far away from the bin/canister as it empties out. I’ve spent years vacuuming with various vacuums and I can’t tell you how many times a poorly-designed vacuum has literally blown dirt in my face upon emptying. When ready to empty (please, don’t be one of those people who lets the vacuum debris go over the max fill line!), remove all tools and hold the vacuum, bin facing down, over a garbage bin. Place your finger and thumb on the red tab and push downward. The bin will pop down, releasing the debris. Give it a good shake and then manually close the lid and pop the bin back up until you hear an audible click.
I know this was a bit long, but listen, if I am going to teach you how to use a Dyson V11 stick vacuum, I am going to teach you the RIGHT way to use it. And now that you know what you know, I can assure you that you’ll use it to its maximum capacity and get much more utility and enjoyment out of it. And that’s saying a lot from someone who hatesto vacuum!
Again, a special thanks to Dyson Canada for partnering with us on this article. If you want to learn more about the vacuum you can visit Dyson Canada.
Some people are always going to mock the idea of buying a Dyson cordless vacuum. When I told a friend of mine I’ve been testing out the company’s latest, top-tier V11 Torque Drive — and revealed its $700 price — she couldn’t contain her laughter and quickly said, “I’ll stick with my $80 Bissell.” The Verge isn’t in the habit of reviewing vacuums, and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon. But if you’re in the market for a Dyson and opt to buy the most expensive V11, there’s something unique about it compared to all past models: it has an LCD screen. Maybe that’s why the company thought it made sense to send us one. I’m not going to be the one to sell you on a Dyson, but I do use plenty of screens. Does a vacuum cleaner really need one?
The circular display on the V11 Torque Drive has three purposes: it shows which mode you’re in when vacuuming, how much time you’ve got left before the battery runs out, and instructions for what to do if the device detects a blockage or that the filter needs replacing. And that’s basically it. It’s not a touchscreen; you switch between modes by pressing the button below the LCD.
But something about the screen made the V11 feel at least slightly more gadget-y than a typical corded stand-up vacuum. You’d hope something would feel a little special about this $700 suction machine — aside from Dyson’s famous ability to gloriously over-engineer anything. I think most of all, I really came to appreciate the real-time estimate of remaining battery life. You won’t find yourself hurriedly vacuuming to make sure you finish before it turns off. Dyson says the vacuum monitors battery capacity four times every second, which seems like overkill, but is also a very Dyson thing to do.
Auto: This is one of the new tricks of Dyson’s latest vacuum. It can detect when you’re on different surfaces and automatically adjust the intensity of suction power as you move between them. The power will ramp up on carpets and ease back down on hardwood floors. Auto mode allows for a really nice balance of battery life, reaching up to 30 minutes or so on a charge in my experience. It only works with the main “high torque” cleaner head, as the other bundled extensions lack the Dynamic Load Sensor system required for the V11 to know what type of floor it’s on. That brush head measures resistance (“Am I on a carpet or flat ground?”) up to 360 times per second. When other attachments are used, this mode changes to medium suction.
Boost: Here’s where the V11 Torque Drive shows its, well, torque. If you’ve got a challenging rug or something else that’s going to need a serious amount of suction, this is the mode for you. When in Boost, the motor can rev up to 125,000 rpm and the brush bar spins 60 times each second. You really feel this thing grabbing onto the floor to a surprising, very powerful degree. But Boost should really only be used for those heavy-duty situations, as you’ll get barely over 10 minutes of battery (even after a full charge) when you run this vacuum nonstop at full throttle.
Eco: If you’re just doing an in-between clean or have a house or apartment that’s pretty easy on vacuums, Eco mode will ensure you get the most from the V11’s battery. You should be able to reach upward of an hour before it dies, which is considerably longer than older Dyson cordless vacuums.
There’s no on or off switch on a Dyson, in case you’re unfamiliar with them. Instead, you’ve got to hold down the trigger on the handle to run the vacuum motor. One of my absolute favorite things about the V11 is the sound that it makes when you release that trigger: it’s like something out of a Marvel movie, or what I’d imagine a ray gun powering down to sound like. I had The Verge’s resident audio wiz Andrew Marino record it:
Yes, Dyson vacuums pick up a surprising and often disgusting amount of dust, dirt, dog hair, and other household grime. I live in an apartment with two pugs — one of them nearly 15 and shedding without abandon — and this cordless stick vacuum can suck all of it up. When it comes time to empty the V11, you just press down on the red lever and it fires all of the muck right into your trash bin. The filter, which Dyson says “traps 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns,” should be cleaned monthly, which only requires washing it with water and leaving it to dry for 24 hours.
At 6.68 pounds, the V11 is pretty comfortable to use in most cleaning scenarios, but your arm might get a little tired if you’re cleaning blinds or something overhead. Its maneuverability is excellent, allowing for tight turns, and you can hit those tough-to-reach spots using its collection of included attachments. The long aluminum cylinder can always be detached if it’s preventing you from getting somewhere, but it’s also an asset when reaching under beds since the V11 can basically lie flat.
I should mention that the cheaper $599 V11 Animal has all of the exact same functionality and cleaning power — including auto mode — as the pricier Torque Drive model. The only difference is that LCD screen. With the Animal, you get a less precise three-bar battery meter. You also lose out on one of the smaller cleaning brushes, but there are already plenty in the box as is.
So is the LCD worth an extra $100? It really depends on how much you care about a by-the-minute look at remaining battery runtime. It certainly helps alleviate the range anxiety that can happen with other Dyson vacuums, where you never really know when they are going to die on you. The videos for filter cleaning reminders or clearing out a blockage are also fairly convenient, as you’ll never have to worry about an instruction manual for your fancy vacuum. If you’re already committed to going in on a Dyson, maybe the extra cash won’t matter much to you.
But the V11’s introduction means that Dyson’s older cordless models are only going to get cheaper, and they’re plenty capable at sucking your floors clean — only without the screen.

Dyson doesn"t stick to chronological order when naming its stick vacuum models. Sometimes it skips numbers, and sometimes it"ll introduce a lower number as a later model than a higher number. For example, Dyson introduced the V15 immediately after the V11, and then the V12 after the V15. In the broadest sense, the numbers seem to loosely grow larger with each passing release—the V11 is newer than the V10, and the V10 is newer than the V8. But Dyson"s naming system is cryptic enough that even we can"t predict what the subsequent model will be.
Dyson also has a lot of sub-models, because its naming scheme isn"t confusing enough. Each one has a different number of included tool attachments and accessories. Every model (V7, V8, V10, V11, V15, etc.) seems to introduce new sub-models, so the list just keeps growing, and then there are discontinued sub-models that show up as old stock on websites, typically on sale.
Allergy used to mean that it came with an upgraded filter that traps 99.99 percent of bacteria and dust so it expels cleaner air than regular models, but after the V7 all Dyson stick vacs started including the upgraded filters. It"s largely a legacy designation now, and it hasn"t been used on newer models.
Motorhead sounds fancy, but it"s the low-end sub-model that comes with a motorized head, a couple of basic brush and crevice tools, and that"s about it. Mostly a holdover from the V7 days. Dyson has found other names for basic sub-models.
Dyson isn"t above combining sub-model names too. Basically, the more names Dyson slaps onto a model, the more attachments it comes with. For example, the V8 Animal Pro comes with more stuff than the Animal, but the Animal Pro+ comes with even more than that.

The screen shows what has been sucked up, while its piezo sensor sizes and counts the amount of dust particles to automatically increase the suction power, if needed. In short, it’s pretty ground-breaking.
Its LCD screen: This just proves to me, as a consumer, how much time and energy was put into designing this vacuum. Dyson wants you to comprehend exactly howit’s getting the job done — and getting the job done efficiently.
The price: Dyson’s V12 Detect is $550, which is pretty comparable — if not pricier — than robot vacuums that do it all for you. That said, I still love working it myself (it’s so simple to use), but it’s one con to consider before purchasing.
When I first unboxed one of Dyson’s newest vacuums, its Omni-Glide, I was shocked at how small it was. Sure, stick and cordless vacuums are the new wave, but this was only a few inches taller than my 1.5-year-old niece.
That said, the saying “small, but mighty” was certainly in mind when Dyson designed the Omni-Glide. In fact, it’s Dyson’s slimmest and most maneuverable vacuum for hard floors, featuring the brand’s first omnidirectional soft roller cleaner head that literally glides into hard-to-reach places.
Its ease of maintenance: With the help of Dyson’s follow-along video, it hasn’t been easier to learn how to properly care for the new tool. Plus, emptying the bin is hands-free and shoots out straight from the vacuum’s storage when ready.
It’s not practical for large cleaning sessions: Due to the Omni-Glide‘s tinier-than-tiny statute, it hurt my back to vacuum my entire living room floor. Though the stick comes up to chest level, I found myself reaching over at times to glide it around the room — which isn’t good for your back.
It’s not great on textured carpets: If you have intense shag (as I do in my hallway foyer) or Berber textured carpet, this isn’t the vacuum for you. While it does glide, I felt like it didn’t pick up embedded dust on coarser, soft floors.
Though the Dyson V7 Advanced Origin Cordless Vacuum isn’t a recent Dyson release, it’s still a wonderful cleaner that comes in an aesthetically pleasing purple and silver color.
Its suction power: No surprise here, but the inclusion of two-tier radial cyclones — 15 total — allows the vacuum to increase the airflow and capture fine dust. And it’s not too noisy, either; it’s more of a whoosh than a loud motor.
Its ability to snuggle into hard-to-reach places: Though it’s not the Omni-Glide, it was one of the best for swiveling into corners and other hard-to-reach places, specifically for your stairs, behind your bed and under sinks.
It’sheavy: Weighing in at almost 18 pounds, it’s no lightweight machine. That said, it’s not my favorite but, because of its incredible ability to deep clean, made the cut.
It’s not as versatile as others tested: Though the Ball Animal 2 comes with some unique and practical tools, it can’t transform into a handheld cleaner.
