dyson v11 lcd screen not working factory

We nearly made the cheapest version of the LG CordZero the runner-up pick in this guide, and buying this vacuum instead of a Tineco S11 or a Dyson V8 is a reasonable choice. The LG CordZero isn’t as lightweight or smooth-steering as the Tineco S11, but it does have noticeably stronger suction. On the other hand, this LG model’s regular on/off power toggle is much more comfortable than the Dyson V8’s, but this vacuum doesn’t clean rugs quite as well. The low-end CordZero A9 is an in-betweener option, and a great fit for some people. The main weakness is that it snowplows more types of big debris on bare floors—even cat litter, to some extent—than most stick vacuums.

We had written off the CordZero in previous versions of this guide as an overpriced Dyson wannabe. But the price has fallen so sharply for the base model that it’s a much better choice now.

We still think the Triflex is a wonderful vacuum in a lot of important ways. Its best quality is the comfort—no other cordless vacuum beats the handling. You can convert it between two different body styles by rearranging the order in which the parts fit together (no tools needed). In its traditional upright configuration, the Triflex is the most balanced, comfortable, sturdy-feeling cordless vac we’ve ever used. (The modern stick-style configuration is fine, too, and it can also separate into a Dustbuster-like handheld vac.) It hugs the ground in a way we haven’t experienced with almost any other battery-powered machine. The cleaning performance was also excellent in our tests: It wasn’t quite as effective as the top-of-the-line Dyson models at digging fine dust out of thick carpets, but it was better than nearly all other models, and it did an excellent job on bare floors (without our having to switch to a specialty cleaning head as on most cordless vacuums). The only major downside we could glean from our initial testing was the small, hard-to-use dustbin.

The Lupe Pure Cordless is billed as a strong, long-lasting cordless vacuum that will allow you to continually replace parts over time instead of chucking the whole machine when a single part fails. (It began as a Kickstarter project by some former Dyson engineers, and it actually came to fruition—good for them.) We’ll have to wait and see whether that proves to be true. It certainly feels like a sturdy vacuum, but we don’t have any solid evidence that it’ll be longer-lasting than other expensive cordless vacuums we’ve tested.

As for the basics, the Lupe Pure Cordless is actually the most powerful bare-floor cleaner we’ve tested, thanks to very strong suction and an unusual dual-roller head design. We found that it’s excellent on carpets, as well, though not on the level of the (less expensive) Dyson V15. It can’t convert into a handheld vacuum, but it does have a flexible hose that mostly accomplishes the same thing. The big downside is the handling: It’s heavy and a little hard to steer compared with most cordless stick vacs, and it tends to jam on area rugs that other sticks have no problem with.

The Shark Rocket lineup was thoroughly mediocre in our testing, but the new Shark Vertex IZ462 is worth a look if you frequently need to suck up large debris (think yard waste or breakfast cereal) alongside your regular rug-cleaning routine. Its carpet performance is respectable for a vacuum with such magnet-like prowess on bare floors—a great compromise for people who really need both, in other words. We don’t recommend it for a wide audience because our analysis of customer reviews suggests that very few people really want this kind of floor-carpet balance in their vacuum’s cleaning performance. (Owners are much more likely to comment on a vacuum’s carpet-cleaning performance, we found.) The Vertex is also noticeably heavier than the Tineco or Dyson models we recommend, and the mechanism that locks the vacuum into the upright position didn’t always click into place for us, giving the vacuum a bit of a cheap feel. (For those who might be keeping track: This is an updated version of the Shark Ion F80, which we recommended in this guide a few years ago.)

I’d like to begin this section by taking a moment to remember the Hoover Linx, Wirecutter’s first ever pick for the best cordless vacuum in 2014 and a budget pick for many years until it finally disappeared from stores in fall 2021. Despite its modest suction and short battery life by the standards of the past few years, it was unusually sturdy for a battery-powered appliance. That alone is why we continued to recommend it for people who wanted something not too expensive for quick cleanups. Thanks for the memories!

The first is the Hoover OnePwr Evolve Pet, which is sort of an updated version of the Linx available for a similar price ($150-ish). It had respectably strong suction in our tests and worked okay on rugs, but not nearly as well as the Black+Decker Powerseries Extreme that we recommend. And like the Black+Decker, this Hoover model is a snowplower on bare floors. The traditional self-standing design is easy to steer and store. Hoover has switched most of its lineup, including the Evolve, to a unified battery pack system, so finding replacement batteries should be easy for at least the next few years, and they’re reasonably priced, too. Unfortunately, the rate of battery pack failure is uncomfortably high, according to our AI-assisted analysis of customer reviews—about 10% of owners cited that as a problem, and the vacuum has been out for only about 18 months at this writing, so that isn’t a great sign.

What about all those cheap sticks on Amazon? You might be reasonably happy with one when it’s brand-new, but we’re confident that none of them will last, so we’ve decided not to waste any more of anybody’s time trying to figure out which $100 Dyson knockoff might pick up a few extra grains of sand before it heads to the landfill in a year.

Roborock (which makes some of our favorite robot vacuums) makes a strong, comfortable-to-use, somewhat overpriced cordless stick vacuum, the H7. (We also tested its predecessor, the H6, a couple of years ago.) It’s particularly great on rugs, landing between the Dyson V8 and V11 in our test results. The unusual part here is the battery: It’s a polymer “soft pack” that offers as much run time as on most competing models but is less bulky. And if you want, you can swap out the H7’s cyclonic filter and pop in a vacuum bag instead for easier dirt disposal. We found that using the bag chokes the suction a bit but otherwise seems to work well—you’ll just have to replace the tiny bags pretty frequently. We like the Roborock H7 vacuum a lot, but we’re not ready to recommend it because we have no idea how durable it will be: Soft-pack batteries do not have a track record in vacuum cleaners yet. A Roborock representative also told us that the company doesn’t yet have plans to sell replacement batteries and expects owners to move on to a new vacuum every three years or so.

Samsung isn’t known for its vacuums in North America, but it released a slew of new cordless stick vacs in 2021. We tested the Jet 70 and found that it was just okay, really nothing special among a crowded field. In our tests it was a decent carpet cleaner, though not quite as strong as the similarly priced Tineco S11 or Dyson V8. It was also the worst snowplower we tested on bare floors—it pushed around more types of debris without sucking the stuff up than the other models we tested. Spare parts for the Jet 70 and other Samsung Jet sticks are also more expensive than other brands’ spares—even Dyson’s. Samsung sells a few other variants of the Jet sticks, but the main differences are the suction levels and accessory kits. Of note, the Jet 90 will work with an optional accessory (usually $200) that empties the vacuum on its own, though we have not tested it.

Dyson makes a couple of models that aren’t very compelling. The Dyson Omni-glide is meant to be a nimble vacuum designed for cleaning bare floors. We cover it in greater depth in our guide to hard-floor vacuums, but in a nutshell, we just didn’t find it to be very comfortable to use or very good at cleaning bare floors.

We tried the Hoover OnePwr Blade+, which worked great on short rugs and did a solid job of getting heavy debris out of thicker rugs, especially considering the price. The main downside is that it snowplows big debris like nobody’s business. Also, the Blade+ is awkwardly top-heavy, and this vacuum (like the OnePwr Evolve, which we covered above) has a lot more negative reviews about battery failures than we expect to see. Hoover makes a bunch of other vacuums in the OnePwr series that we may test in the future, though nothing jumps off the page as an obvious challenger for any of our picks.

We tested the Bissell AirRam a few years ago. It has good ratings from several other publications that test and review vacuums, but we didn’t find it to be outstanding on either bare floors or carpets. It doesn’t convert to a handheld vacuum, and the handling is stiff—though not top-heavy, as with most other cordless sticks.

The expensive Bissell ICONpet Pro (now discontinued) was just okay on rugs and not great on bare floors. It also felt heavier in the hand than most models and was otherwise unremarkable. The regular ICONpet is much more affordable but still isn’t anything special for the price.

We like a lot of Eufy products, but not the HomeVac S11 Infinity. It’s priced like a Dyson but cleans like a cheap vacuum. It could be worth a look if Eufy cuts the price to $150.

Tacony makes cordless vacuums under its Simplicity and Riccar labels, but none of them are standouts. The most impressive is the Simplicity Cordless Freedom, at $700. But it can’t convert into a handheld vacuum, and it lacks a hose, offers less suction, has a less-aggressive brush roll, and is heavier and harder to steer than the Dyson V11 Torque Drive.

Dyson vacuum cleaners are well-engineered appliances. Still, they suffer from the occasional fault that prevents you from using them like normal. But since Dyson vacuums don’t have dedicated reset buttons, how do you reset them to clear the fault?

Dyson vacuums do not have dedicated reset buttons. Instead, resetting your Dyson will depend on which fault prevents it from working normally. For example, if the vacuum has overheated, be sure to clear any clogs and let the unit cool down completely for about an hour. That will reset its thermal switch and let you use it normally again.

This guide will walk you through the most common Dyson vacuum faults that will require you to reset the unit. First, you’ll learn what those faults are and how they happen. Then, you’ll learn how to reset the unit and get it working normally again.

Dyson vacuums do not come with a dedicated reset button. Instead, there are several methods you can use to reset the vacuum. The correct reset method will depend on the issue that’s preventing the vacuum from working.

The most common issues that’ll prevent your Dyson from working include a fault with the digital motor motherboard, a pulsing or overheating motor, or if you install the filter incorrectly.

What’s happening:Several Dyson vacuum models use a digital suction motor that’s controlledby a motherboard. You’ll typically find them on Dyson’s various cordless handheld models.

Like other electronic devices, the digital motor motherboard can suffer a fault from time to time. When that happens, your first troubleshooting step is to reset the vacuum to get the motherboard working correctly again.

How to reset the vacuum: You can reset a faulty digital motor motherboard on your Dyson vacuum through power cycling. In simple terms, that means to turn the vacuum on and off again, but with an extended period in between.

The Dyson vacuum motor pulses like that because there’s a blockage somewhere in the unit. When the vacuum senses the lack of airflow that blockage causes, it pulses the motor on and off to prevent it from overheating and burning out.

How to reset the vacuum: To reset your Dyson vacuum’s pulsing motor, start by removing its detachable parts. That includes the hose, wand, cleaning head, and anything else.

Lastly, reattach all the parts that you removed earlier. The reset is successful when the vacuum no longer senses any airflow restrictions inside. As a result, the motor will run continuously and not pulse anymore.

What’s happening: Overheating can cause a lot of damage to a Dyson vacuum. That’s why all Dyson models come with a thermal fuse as a form of protection.

What’s happening: Lastly, your Dyson vacuum will also need a reset if you’ve installed the filter incorrectly. That typically happens after cleaning the filter or replacing it with a new one.

Firstly,it’s likely that the filter was not pushed all the way into place. Besides that, dirt and debris around the filter could prevent it from fitting perfectly into the vacuum.

When the filter isn’t installed correctly on a Dyson vacuum, you won’t be able to turn on the unit. Instead, you’ll see a flashing indicator light telling you that there’s a problem.

How to reset the vacuum: Start by removing the filter from your Dyson vacuum completely. Then, clean the areas around the filter unit to ensure that they’re free from any debris that might obstruct it.

The filter’s locking mechanism is different depending on the Dyson model that you have. For example, the Dyson V10 and several others require you to twist the filter clockwise until you hear a click.

You can consider the reset successful when the vacuum senses that the filter is installed correctly.Then, you can resume regular use of your Dyson vacuum unit.

No, Dyson vacuums do not have dedicated reset buttons. To reset the vacuum, you must first understand what’s preventing it from working correctly. Each common fault has a different reset method that will get the vacuum working normally again.

Yes, there are 2 fuses in your Dyson vacuum that you should know about.The first is a standard electrical fuse that prevents damage from faults like short circuits and power surges. The second is a thermal fuse that prevents the vacuum motor from overheating and damaging the appliance.

Dyson vacuums typically overheat and cut out because of a blockage.That blockage causes an airflow restriction that prevents hot air from escaping the vacuum as it should. Once the thermal fuse trips and the vacuum cuts out, it will only reset and work again after it cools down completely. That cooldown process will take at least an hour.

To clear a blockage causing your Dyson vacuum to overheat, start by removing its detachable parts.That means you should remove the hose, wand, bin, cleaning head, and anything else. Next, empty the bin and clear all other parts for dirt, dust, and debris buildups. Finally, don’t forget to clean the vacuum filter and replace it if necessary.

Your Dyson cordless vacuum stops working when there’s an airflow restriction inside or when the motor overheats.The same also happens if the digital motor motherboard suffers a fault. You must reset the Dyson vacuum appropriately to get it working normally again when any of that happens.

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.

The V11 Animal has a different screen than the Torque Drive. It’s not dynamic – only with three icons for the power settings plus another graphic for the error codes.

The way you adjust the power settings varies with these two vacuums. In the V11, there’s a silver button right below the LCD screen that enables users to shift between three different power settings.

The Tineco S12 utilizes a 2,500 mAh Li-ion battery, while the V11 Torque Drive has the Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum battery. Dyson doesn’t specify the capacity – but it’s a lot based on the run time.

However, the V11 will run for around 74 minutes with the Torque Drive attachment at the lowest power setting. Strangely it ran shorter with the crevice tool attached – approximately 71 minutes.

The Dyson V11 has more power in the max setting, either with the main cleaning head (5.03%) or suction-only attachments like the crevice tool (6.8% more).

The only difference is you’ll get more tools from the Tineco S12 than the Dyson V11. So consumers will have more options with what to tool to use for a particular task.

The V11 Torque has higher overall scores – 99.66% vs. 99.17% because it was consistent across the board despite not having the soft roller attachment.

It was able to pick up nearly all the sand in the forward pass. In contrast, the V11 left a trail of sand after the initial pass but picked these up in the succeeding passes.

Take note that you’ll need the S12’s soft roller attachment to pick up sizable debris on hard floors since the standard nozzle doesn’t have enough clearance.

Dyson filters are washable, and you don’t need to replace it. However, it’s a good idea to buy at least one extra filter, so you’ll have something to use while the other filter dries.

Another advantage of the V11 is its steering. It turns at a sharper angle than the S12, so it requires fewer turns to avoid the furniture. Not the case with the S12 with a less responsive swivel.

One advantage the V11 has is it utilizes a lifetime filter, so you don’t need to replace it. It should last the life of the vacuum. You can buy an extra filter to eliminate the downtime, but aside from that, you don’t need to buy more.

As for parts, Dyson has a slight advantage because multiple vendors, aside from Dyson, sell them. If buying an original battery is too expensive, you can opt for replacement OEM alternatives, which will eventually be available because Dyson is so famous.

Dyson doesn’t have as many tools, but it has more responsive and sharper steering. It also cleans embedded dirt better for a more extended period than the S12 from a single battery.

Dyson is among the most popular brands of vacuum cleaners in the market. They offer quality and stylish products that can meet your specific needs and standards.

With their comprehensive collection of vacuum cleaners, you can choose the best one that can provide good value to your time, budget and effort. Do you want to know more about Dyson vacuums? Read more.

There are many steps to bring back the excellent efficiency of your Dyson vacuum if you encounter problems while operating it. We will provide you the steps on how to reset different models of Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Does your Dyson vacuum doesn’t suck up anything? Is your cleaning equipment not working correctly? Then, you can follow the steps below to reset your Dyson vacuum.

Locate the brush bar’s switch, which is found on the handle on the top of the vacuum’s body. Try to plug in and turn it on again. Push the button to reset the brush bar, and then flip the vacuum back upright. You can now restore the power of your Dyson vacuum.

First, charge your vacuum, and if it doesn’t work, you can replace it. On the other hand, if the battery is the problem, take it out and put it back in. If your Dyson cordless vacuum doesn’t work, then you can replace the battery.

Check the hose of your Dyson ball vacuum for blockages. You can remove and check the wand for stuck items. Check the hose and hose inlet for damage or blockages.

If your Dyson Vacuum V6 is not working well, there is a tendency that there are some blockages in the equipment. So, you can reset it by disassembling the wand from the vacuum’s roller head and bin. Next, check inside the component. Then, remove obstructions.

Additionally, another reason why your Dyson Vacuum V6 is not working is due to a clogged filter. With this, you need to remove the filter first. Then, rinse the filter underwater for about 2 minutes.

If your Dyson vacuum V8 is not performing at its best, then it can be caused by a low battery level. You can follow the steps below to reset your Dyson vacuum V8.

In case your Dyson vacuum V10 doesn’t vacuum properly, you can reset it. There can be blockages in the wand or the main body of the vacuum. First, detach the cleaner head and main body from the wand to see if there are obstructions. Then, remove the debris and other items stuck on it.

Step 1: Check the cord for indents, damage, or holes. If yes, the electricity may not reach the vacuum. With this, you can seek help from customer service.

To sum it up, although there’s no reset button in Dyson vacuums, you can do many ways to bring back the power and best performance of your vacuum cleaner.

With the help of the ideas above, we hope that you already learned how to reset each model of Dyson vacuum cleaners. With that, you can enjoy the best efficiency of your Dyson vacuum.

Your Dyson vacuum can stop working due to cutting out and overheating. Blockages on the filter or brush can also cause it. A low battery level can also cause it. With this, you need to be responsible for the proper maintenance of your Dyson vacuum cleaner.

You can reset the Dyson battery by unplugging the charger from the outlet first. Then, plug it in again and attach the Dyson vacuum. Press the button for about 20 seconds. If it is still not working properly, you can replace the Dyson battery.

If your Dyson v7 is not working well, you can reset the vacuum cleaner by pressing and holding the trigger for about 3 seconds. You can repeat it about five times. Then, check if the equipment already vacuums properly.

The Dyson DC24 comes with three buttons. These include the On/Off switch, the Brush-bar On/Off, and the third button of the device is under the Brush-bar on/off switch. You can push the brush-bar button to reset the Dyson DC24. Then, you can vacuum again.

Dyson is a Singapore-based company and manufacturer of bagless vacuum cleaners (using cyclonic separation and brushless electric motors), heatless hand dryers, bladeless fans/heaters, and robotic vacuum cleaners.

The electric motor marketed as the Dyson Digital Motor (DDM) is a direct current motor, operating on the switched reluctance principle.brushless motors rotate at up to 110,000 rpm.96% efficiency that is achieved in some brushless designs.centrifugal forces, the impeller is made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer; the shaft is steel.

The Dyson Root Cyclone technology is used in all Dyson vacuum cleaners from DC07 onward. The DC17, DC22, and DC23 use the improved "Root Cyclone & Core Separator", also called "Radix Cyclone", "Intermediary Cyclone", or "Level 3 Root Cyclone Technology".

Most versions are identified by a name such as "DC14". Later upright and cylinder cleaners have labels such as "Small Ball" or "Big Ball" which relate to the machine"s form factor. Cordless vacuum cleaners are identified by names such as "V11" or "V7" which denote the version of the appliance (the higher the model number, the greater its specification). Older cordless models pre-dating the Dyson V6 have names in the "DC14" style.

Some of the early Dyson models (DC01, DC02, DC04) were available in a "De Stijl" colour scheme of purple, red and yellow, in homage to the Dutch design movement of the same name.

The DC65 (DC66 in Canada)—is an update of the DC41. The vacuum features an updated root cyclone and a redesigned brush roll with more power than the DC41 and a better edge cleaning system. Some variants (like the Animal model) include the Tangle-Free Turbine Tool. Dyson has undergone a name change to their models, and this appears to be the same base design as the new UP13 model marketed as the "Dyson Ball Allergy". Boxes now contain new product code areas (which may make comparisons slightly easier) in the form [Model Type: UP = upright (previously codes were all DC)] [# ex: 13,19,20,40] [AC = ?] [Marketing description. OR = Origin, ALE = Allergy, AN = Animal, MF2 = Multi-Floor 2, ] [BMR = ?, SSE = ?, IRSY = ?, IRSPU = ?] [Country Code: US]

The Dyson Small Ball replaces the DC50 small upright in 2015, after the introduction of the EU 2014 directive on mains powered vacuum cleaners. It is very similar to the DC50, but with refinements to the motor performance, and also a change to the handle wand, which it became a metal wand as on the DC24 to address issues with excessive flexing of the all plastic handle on the DC50.

The DC75 (DC77/UP14 in North America) is Dyson"s upright version of the Cinetic vacuum. Contains Cinetic technology with lifetime filters as well as Dyson"s auto-adjusting motorized brushroll. The lifetime filters were guaranteed within the 5-year warranty period.

Updated / renamed version of the DC41MK2 and DC55. Also still known as the DC41 MK2 and also DC55 in certain retail outlets but simply as Dyson Ball from Dyson UK

The Dyson Light Ball (UP22) is the replacement for the DC40 (ERP) upright, and is similar to the DC40 ERP in many respects except that it has a totally redesigned powerhead, incorporating a direct drive, large diameter brushroll with an internal "epicyclic" geared motor, similar to the DC50 and Small Ball. The powerhead has 3 levels of suction controlled by a slider switch which opens and closes various valves and gates on the powerhead. It is rated at 700W and 80db, in compliance with the EU regulations 2017 for mains powered vacuum cleaners. The Light Ball also has a longer reach cable than the DC40 and different tools with the "quick release" red button system.

DC63 is a line of small canister vacuums developed for Asian markets. It uses a Dyson Digital Motor V4 and has 2 Tier Radial Root Cyclones. It is sold in Japan with handle remote operation, a motorized brush bar and "fluffy" hard floor tool.

The Dyson Big Ball (CY23) is an standard cyclonic model with washable filters. Almost identical in appearance to the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball cylinder model.

The Dyson V6 range is the replacement for the DC59 handstick and DC58 handheld cordless vacuum cleaners. Powered by the Dyson digital motor V6. This power-dense motor uses digital pulse technology and a neodymium magnet to spin at up to 110,000 rotations per minute. Its small size means that the machines it powers can also be small, light and powerful. The Dyson brand, as well as various reviews, claim that the V6 can have up to a 20-minute run time.

Based on the design and overall look of the Dyson V8, the V7, which was launched in 2017, uses a similar digital motor and accessories. However, being a less expensive model to purchase, it has some differences to the higher priced V8. The battery can only run the V7 for up to 30 minutes on a full charge, whereas the V8 can run for up to 40 minutes. The V7 is equipped with a 35W main motorised powerhead, compared to one with 50W on the V8, and also some models of V7 come with a 20W mini electric turbo tool of a slightly differing design to that of the V8. As it has a physically smaller battery than the V8, the V7 weighs less than the V8. In terms of performance, the V7 produces 21 Airwatts of suction on "extended run time" mode, compared to 22 on the V8 and 28 on the V6, and it produces 100 Airwatts (as on the V6) on Max mode, compared to 115 airwatts on the V8. Most models of V7 do not come equipped with a HEPA removable exhaust filter. Like the V8, the V7 incorporates the hygienic dirt ejection system, and the quick release "red button" tools system, and it also has the same, larger dust cup capacity of the V8. It also, like the V8, runs for up to 7 minutes, when put in Max mode.

The Dyson V8 Carbon Fiber is an upgrade version of V8 with a much more powerful motor. The V8 Carbon Fiber produces 155 AW (115 AW on the original V8) in MAX mode. The battery is rated at 40 minutes (same as original V8) in the normal mode.

The Dyson V10, launched in March 2018, is a successor to the V8. It implements a faster motor, larger bin capacity, "point and shoot" hygienic bin emptying system, and a single "all in one" washable filter consisting of both the pre-motor and post motor filter. It has 3 motor speeds, selectable via a pushbutton.

Like the V8, it has a wall mounted charging dock and shares the same motorised floor head architecture. Prior to its release, Dyson announced that they were ceasing developing new corded vacuum models,

The Dyson V11 was released on the 27 March 2019, sharing many of the components of the V11 with an upgraded motor and fan. The V11 lineup includes the V11 Animal, Torque Drive, and Absolute models. It uses current sensors to automatically adjust power to the floor type. The Torque Drive, Absolute, and Outsize models have LCD screens that show the remaining run time at the current power level.

The V15 Detect was announced on 24 March 2021. The main feature of the model is its laser detect technology, a small laser that can detect hidden dust particles as small as 10 microns on hard surfaces. It also includes a piezo detector which enables the user to see the amount and size of particles collected displayed on a LCD screen and the remaining battery life displayed in a real time countdown.

Dyson G5 Detect is equipped with a fifth-generation Hyperdymium motor, 135,000 revolutions per minute, with a strong suction output of up to 262AW, becoming Dyson"s first-floor cleaning product that has been proven to capture and lock viruses.

The Dyson 360 Eye, a floor cleaning robot, uses a 360° panoramic vision sensor and IR distance sensors to map a room and navigate, enabling it to perform a systematic cleaning pattern that covers the accessible floor area only once. Based on the DC06, the 360 Eye was launched in 2014, Dyson"s initial entry into this market segment also features cyclonic dust separation, a Dyson digital motor V2 for high power suction, tank treads for traction, a full-width brush-bar, and user interface via a free iOS or Android app.

"G-Force" was the name given to Dyson"s first widely available vacuum cleaner. It was the first to use "Dual Cyclone" separation technology. Licensed to the Japanese company Apex Inc., and only available on the Japanese market, it was not sold under the Dyson name. Dyson used the money he earned from G-Force to start up the Dyson company.

The first vacuum cleaner sold under the Dyson name was the DA001, launched in May 1993. It was a domestic upright model that used the patented "Dual Cyclone" technology and was made in Chippenham, England. After a short period, it was renamed the DC01 and production later moved to Malmesbury, at the company"s new factory/research centre. The DC01 had a single motor which provided the suction and also drove the brushroll directly via a single rubber toothless belt with no form of "brush control" (where the user can turn off the brushroll for use on hard floors), so was mainly designed to use on carpeted floors. It stored its hose on the back of the housing as part of the handle wand, and removing the handle wand enabled this stretch hose to be used. This was the only Dyson upright not to use washable pre-motor filters; these had to be purchased and replaced every three months. It also had a choice of post motor filtration – standard or HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arrest) according to the model purchased. It competed with models like the Hoover Turbopower, and was priced very high in comparison to other bagged cleaners. The suction power of the DC01 is 90 airwatts. Dyson no longer supports this model, nor produces parts for it.

The DC03, Dyson"s second upright vacuum cleaner, released in 1997, was a lightweight (6.9 kg), low profile upright cleaner. It resembled a twin-cylinder version of the DC01, contained one normal cylinder and a second which contained a pair of HEPA filters. The DC03 had a smaller, more compact 700W motor, and while its suction power was lower than any of the currently available uprights at around 100 Airwatts, its heavy-duty filtration system allowed it to survive for many years after the rest of the original Cyclone cleaners were discontinued. It was the first upright model to feature brush control, via a clutch between the motor and the brushroll, and was able to be stored hung on a wall. It was also the first Dyson to have the Reversible Hose, like on the DC07 and DC24 Ball

The DC07 had a new 1400W motor that provided 280 Airwatts, making it about the most powerful model that Dyson made, and also the noisiest in use, with much of the operating noise coming from the upwards mounted cyclone assembly. It weighed 9 kg.

The DC07 had a long production run from 2001 until 2008, and came in many different colour combinations. During the DC07 production run, in 2002, Dyson switched all manufacturing of its vacuum cleaners from Malmesbury, UK to a new factory in Malaysia.

The DC14 was released in 2004. It is a revision of the DC07 upright vacuum cleaner with lower centre of gravity and "telescope reach". It uses Dyson"s Root 8 Cyclone technology, which maintains constant suction. Aside from the different design of the cyclone assembly and bin, the DC14 looks very similar to the DC07. It also has the same motor as fitted to the DC07 and the same floorhead (with the exception that the DC14 has a large debris channel fitted to the front of the brushroll housing). Due to the different downwards pointing cyclone design, the DC14 was slightly quieter in operation than the DC07 was, but still had the familiar motor noise as it used the same 1400 watt motor. Like the DC07, the DC14 comes in many variants, the standard DC14 (the Origin, non clutched), the All Floors (Clutched), the Allergy (Clutched), the Animal (Clutched, + mini turbine tool) and other special editions and colourways. As of January 2012

The DC15, known as The Ball was released in 2005 in three variants, the DC15 All Floors, Allergy and Animal, and is loosely based on the DC14. It was the first vacuum to use a ball instead of existing static wheels, so as to make it more possible to steer and maneuver the cleaner around obstacles and corners, in conjunction with a universal joint mechanism on the cleaner head, by twisting the handle to the right or left. The inspiration of the "Ball" system originated from the Ballbarrow, James Dyson"s first invention.

The DC15 is a complex machine compared to earlier upright models, and is the first Dyson upright with an independent motorised brushroll, controlled by a switch next to the main power switch. The main suction motor is housed inside the "ball".

Due to its high launch price, its weight (8.6 kilograms (19 lb)), and the fact that it may have initially been seen as a gimmick, not that many DC15s were sold, with the cheaper DC14 remaining much more popular. The lightweight DC18 was launched late the following year, addressing the DC15"s biggest criticism, its heavy weight.

The Dyson DC17 is an upright cleaner launched in October 2006 in the US. Although visually similar to the DC14, it contains new technologies. The first upgrade is the use of Dyson"s Level 3 Root Cyclone.

The second change with the DC17 upright is the brushroll design. While the brushrolls used on the DC07, DC14 and DC15 were designed with European carpets in mind, the DC17"s brush roll was designed for North America with a cylindrical shape, a large diameter, and short stiff bristles. A separate motor drives the brushroll, unlike the DC07 and DC14, which use power from the main motor via clutches. This made the DC17 the most effective of Dyson cleaners on carpeting.

The third change is a new colour scheme for the DC17, and also the Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld; the bright colours and silver tones are toned down in favour of shiny metallic accents and titanium as the main colour for the entire machine.

The level 3 root cyclone system on the DC17 was quietly redesigned due to a gasket defect that allowed dirt to enter the cyclones backwards, clogging them and causing the cleaner to lose suction; almost all of the original DC17s had this problem. The redesigned cyclone pack, fitted to later DC17s, resolved this issue. Older DC17s were not recalled, but Dyson gave out and sold many of the redesigned cyclone packs.

The 6.6 kilograms (15 lb) Dyson DC18 Slim, launched in September 2006 and produced until summer 2008, is a slimmer and lighter-weight successor of the DC15 Ball upright. The DC18"s Root Cyclone system has been trimmed down to better accommodate the machine"s slimmer profile; the DC15 uses 8 cyclones, the DC18, 6.

This was another upright model produced for the US market. It was the replacement for the DC17. Has a powered cam to adjust the height of the brushbar ("Dyson Airmuscle") controlled from a set of buttons by the main power switch above the cyclone assembly, a pneumatic actuator to keep the cleaning head on the floor, and a high-torque clutch to give extra power to the brushbar.

Revised version of the DC27/DC28. Replacement for the DC14, upright wheeled cleaner that does not use ball technology. Available as Multi Floor (Yellow), Stubborn (White), Animal (Purple), i (Red).

The DC33 has a plastic telescopic pole with smaller diameter than the metal telescopic pole of the DC14, so attachments from older Dyson"s such as the DC14 do not fit the DC33. This model more closely resembles the old DC14 than the DC27 did, using exactly the same style of floorhead as the DC14, DC07 and DC04. The plastic wand pole has been criticised as a lowering of quality from the older metal type, and also causes the main spine of the cleaner to flex more, without the support of the metal wand

The Dyson DC40 upright vacuum released in early 2012. The DC40 vacuum is Dyson"s counterpart to the previously released DC41 Animal. The DC40 has Multifloor and Animal editions that utilise the Dyson ball technology. In 2015, following the introduction of the 2014 EU regulations, the DC40 was slightly modified to its powerhead and motor, whereby the motor was re-rated 700W, and the powerhead gained much more aggressive agitation and had the carpet guard strips removed. The DC40 (ERP) was replaced in 2017 by the Dyson Light Ball.

The Dyson DC41 upright released in late 2011 as the replacement for the DC25, is the first upright vacuum with Dyson"s new Radial Root Cyclone technology as well as an automatic height adjuster which provides the maximum amount of power in the suction head. The cleaner also has Dyson"s new high-powered turbo brush for the hose. The DC41 uses ball technology. In 2015, the DC41 was updated to become the DC41 MK2, in which it was made compliant with the new 2014 EU directives for mains powered vacuum cleaners, and its motor changed to a 700W rated motor, and its powerhead was revised to take into account its lower powered suction motor. The DC41 MK2 was later renamed simply the "Dyson Ball", but is still known as DC41 MK2 in certain retail stores.

Currys (UK) Exclusive model. Same as the Dyson Ball and DC41 MK2 but with extra tools and a red colour on the cyclone bins. ***Still available as at Dec 2017 but shortly to be discontinued due to its non-compliance with the maximum allowable noise level set by the EU in Sep 2017.

The DC02, launched in 1995, was the first cylinder (canister) model sold by Dyson. Its shape allowed it to sit on stairs. Like the DC01, it used Dual Cyclone technology. It was not that popular during its production run and sold fewer than the DC01. The DC02 is no longer supported by Dyson.

The DC05, launched in 1998, was the second cylinder model. It was designed as a replacement for the DC02. The "Motorhead" version was the first Dyson to offer a "powernozzle", a floor nozzle with a motorized brushroll bar for improved performance on carpets.

The DC08 was a new cylinder revision, released in 2002, incorporating the Dyson Root Cyclone technology found on the DC07. The DC08 was the replacement for the DC05. It was the first of the Dyson cylinder models to feature the new "Animal" derivative first seen on the DC07, which essentially meant that the cleaner was capable of dealing effectively with pet hair and dander. Animal models came with an air driven turbine floorhead and mini turbo brush for effective pet hair removal from carpets and furnishings – they also came equipped with Hepa post-motor filters.

Lower models in the DC08 range did not come with the turbine floorhead, having only the standard floorheads which were better-suited to hard flooring than carpets. Unlike the DC02, the DC08 did not have storage for its small tools in the body of the cleaner. As with the DC05, tools were stored on a small caddy attached to the suction hose.

The DC08 had a long production run; it was upgraded to the DC08 Telescope wrap after the launch of the DC11, to enable it to be stored more efficiently, and was eventually superseded by the DC19. Early in the production run of the DC08, in 2002, Dyson switched production of all its vacuum cleaners from Malmesbury, UK to a new production facility in Malaysia.

It had two separate dust bins and cyclone assemblies to make the machine smaller when it was packed away. It was only available in two variants, one coloured yellow and the other was a turquoise/aqua model. The DC11 was quickly superseded by the DC08T Telescope wrap, and not produced for very long.

"Stowaway", as DC19 but with telescope wrap. Dyson have updated the DC08T (part of the DC08) series to form the DC20. Called the Dyson Stowaway in the UK. The colour scheme is new, and the cleaner is available in Standard, Allergy and Animal.

Entering into the American Market in 2008, this model is known as the Stowaway in the United States, but as the Motorhead in the United Kingdom and other countries. It is the second cylinder vacuum from Dyson to have a motorised brushbar on the head of the nozzle. It is an advance on the DC08 Telescopic Wrap system, discontinued in some countries including the United Kingdom.

Known as "Dyson Baby" or "Dyson Compact" or "Dyson Allergy" and two-thirds the size of the DC23. Using the Dyson Digital Motor and Core Separation which adds a third cyclone "layer" to filter out smaller particles. Has turbine head and motor head versions.

Ultra compact cylinder model, the DC26, known as the Dyson "City" is the World"s smallest vacuum with constant suction. Even smaller than the DC22. The machine is so small that it will fit onto a piece of A4 paper. With a very small dust container of 0.68 litres, and cord length of 5 metres, it was designed for small flats with primarily hard floors. It weighs just 5.6 kg and has an impressive 160 AirWatts suction power.

Supplied to Continental Europe and Australia (Cylinder type) and Canada (Upright type) (Not available in the UK). According to this Dyson review listing on the Australian website, the Dyson DC29 Multi floor is no longer available.

Dyson"s new cylinder vacuum cleaner released in late 2011. It uses Dyson"s Radial Root Cyclone Technology. Uses a ball and a swivel mechanism for improved manoeuvrability.

Newest ball vacuum cleaner from Dyson. It uses Cinetic technology which Dyson says will not lose suction over 10 years. It is the first Dyson that does not require cleaning of filters. Consists of 54 cyclones with high frequency oscillating tips that vibrate to prevent clogging. Comes in Animal and Multi-Floor versions where it bundles a range of cleaning tools to tackle all surface types.

The DC16, launched in 2006, is Dyson"s first handheld vacuum cleaner based on the same technology as used in the DC14 and DC15 root cyclone upright vacuum cleaners. The DC16 has 36 airwatts of constant suction. The DC16 shares the same styling as the other recent upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the Dyson range, and weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lb).

Also available in an Issey Miyake limited edition in which the manifold on the cyclone assembly is pink instead of the standard yellow, and an Animal version with a motorised brushbar for picking up pet hair and gold cyclone manifold. Newest to the range is the DC16 Car and Boat which is designed for car and boat cleaning, supplied with a car 12 V charger and has a blue cyclone manifold. The DC16 was replaced by the DC30 and DC31 which incorporated the Dyson Digital Motor, in replacement of the traditional motors found in the DC16.

Dyson Digital Slim. Similar design to the DC30/31/34 but with detachable extension tube, modified electronics and motorised brush head. Launched in 2009. It was replaced by the DC44 and DC59.

The Dyson Digital Slim DC44 is a cordless handstick vacuum cleaner which uses the same motorised brush head as the DC35 as well as the Radial Root Cyclone Technology. Has an extension pole to make it similar to a cylinder cleaner"s handle, pole and floorhead. Improves on the DC35 by incorporating a more powerful brush bar motor and having more cleaning tools. It was replaced by the Dyson DC59 / V6.

Known as the Dyson Hard, cordless handstick similar to the DC44, for hard floors, powered by Dyson digital motor V2, has 5 cyclones. Weighs 2.92 pounds (1.32 kg), including a 22.2V rechargeable lithium ion battery.

The DC59 replaces the DC44 and is claimed to remove as much dust as a corded vacuum. This is made possible by the combination of the Dyson digital motor V6, 2 Tier Radial cyclones and the latest floor tool with carbon fibre filaments. This power-dense motor uses digital pulse technology and a neodymium magnet to spin at up to 110,000 times a minute. Its small size means that the machines it powers can also be small, light and powerful. The DC59 (and DC58) were replaced by a very similar cordless handstick simply named the Dyson V6.

Dyson"s first robotic vacuum cleaner, equipped with the Dyson Digital Motor, had not proceeded beyond the home-trial stage. By 2012, as cost and weight needed reducing. It had the ability to "learn" the room, and to distinguish between solid objects, such as walls and furniture, and human beings, pets, etc. by utilizing sensors and specially-written navigation software. Dyson DC06 first appeared on Dyson"s UK website in 2000.

The first Dyson Airblade, launched in 2006, is a hand dryer for commercial customers, typically made available in public hand washing facilities. The Airblade uses Dyson"s Digital Motor to produce a stream of air that flows at up to 430 mph (700 km/h) and is claimed to dry the hands in 10 to 12 seconds.HEPA filter to remove bacteria and mould from the air. The Dyson Airblade is the world"s first hygienic commercial hand dryer according to NSF International; it is accredited by the British Skin Foundation and the Royal Institute of Public Health as well.hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) approved.

The Dyson "Air Multiplier" was announced on 18 October 2009 as an electric fan, intended to provide smoother airflow and, having no exposed rotating blades, operating in a safer manner than conventional bladed fans.bladeless fans, the apparatus itself has no visible blades, as they are concealed within the body of the product. The fan works by drawing air in through an inlet in the base pillar and forcing it through an outlet in the upper ring. The jet of air travels over the airfoil shape of the ring, creating local low pressure, thereby pulling air from behind it as it decelerates in a process known as "induction".entrains the air in front and alongside. Using this process, a small brushless impeller in the fan"s base can power a much larger air outlet without exposing any blades.

Dyson stated that the initially-generated air flow is multiplied between 15 and 18 times for the models AM01, AM02 and AM03, projecting a smooth stream of uninterrupted air, without the buffeting effect caused by conventional fan blades. In March 2014, the second-generation models of the Air Multiplier were acoustically re-engineered so that the bladeless fans were quieter than their predecessors, using improved airflow and a Helmholtz resonator to cancel a 10 kHz whine.

Since the original release, Dyson has produced combination electrical heater and cooling fans (some with HEPA filters) based on its Air Multiplier design. In addition, some newer designs feature "Jet Focus", the ability to shift between a wide and shallow or a narrower but farther-reaching stream of air, under user control.

The design for a bladeless fan had been patented by Toshiba in 1981, but was not marketed before the patent expired. An initial patent claim by Dyson was rejected by the Intellectual Property Office, ruling that it "cannot be considered novel or cannot be considered to involve an inventive step" compared to the earlier patent.

In September 2011, Dyson announced the Dyson Hot fan heater (AM04), using Air Multiplier technology. Like most fan heaters, it has a thermostat to control the temperature, and can also be used as a cooling fan (without heat). All AM04 models made prior to 1 April 2014 are subject to a no-charge product recall for repairs because of a fire risk.

In March 2015, Dyson released their new Air Multiplier Humidifier. It uses "Ultraviolet Cleanse" technology to clean water by running it through ultraviolet light twice before it is released. A piezoelectric transducer in the base vibrates up to 1.7 million times a second to break the water down into small droplets which are drawn up and added to the air with Air Multiplier technology.

In January 2016, Dyson released the Dyson Pure Cool air purifier. It uses the same Air Multiplier technology to blow air, as well as a 0.99 micron HEPA filter to trap suspended particles. Along with a coarse filter to trap slow particles, the unit uses low-force velocity to trap fine particles within the filter as well.

The Dyson CR01 Contrarotator, first available in November 2000, was a washing machine with two counter-rotating drums, the first of its type. Each drum had 5,000 perforations to help evacuate water. Dyson"s next washing machine, in 2004, was the CR02, with "Flowcheck" and "Allergy" models. The company stopped making washing machines in 2005 as they were unprofitable.

In April 2016, Dyson introduced the "Supersonic" handheld hair dryer. A Dyson Digital Motor V9 is housed in the handle.Coandă effect. In March 2020, Dyson announced a cordless hair straightener called the "Corrale".

In 2018, Dyson released the "Lightcycle", featuring the same heat pipe technology as the previous CSYS lights, but with Bluetooth connectivity via the Dyson Link app, and the ability to adjust the intensity and colour temperature to both the individual and their surroundings.

In a world of fast-paced technological advancements and a myriad of gadgets for (almost) every purpose and budget, it’s easy to forget that home appliances are also, essentially, tech gadgets. More so when it’s a product by a company such as Dyson that has spent countless hours (and dollars) into meticulous research for every aspect and part—even the tiniest component—of a product. And they have many of those. I know because I visited Dyson’s research and development facility as well as its Advanced Manufacturing facility—both located in Singapore. Besides R&D, the former also houses a semi-anechoic chamber that tests the sound of every product; so that it’s pleasing to the ears while maintaining performance.

The latter facility specifically manufactures and assembles the “heart”, aka the digital motors for every Dyson product, be it the Supersonic hairdryer, the Airwrap styler or the cord-free vacuum cleaners such as the V11 (which is the name of the motor itself). Fun fact: A completed Dyson digital motor is produced every 2.6 seconds, and each is built and assembled using dozens of highly automated robotic arms. Precision is key, while perfection is the goal. And that brings us back to the Dyson V11 vacuum; and its pride and joy—its new digital motor, which the company feels signifies the end of corded products as it’s lightweight and yet still does its job.

So how well does the Dyson V11 Absolute do its job? My review: Pretty great, actually. Official numbers from Dyson claim it captures 99.97 per cent of particles as small as 0.3 microns (read: bacteria, pollen and the like); and it runs for up to 60 minutes of fade-free floor cleaning thanks to its super powerful battery. Performance-wise, it works splendidly but so did its predecessors. The difference goes beyond a powerful digital motor (20 per cent more suction power than the Dyson Cyclone V10) and battery pack. The difference is that it’s also called an intelligent vacuum, and Dyson isn’t just saying it. It’s true.

Is it usually a hassle to physically change cleaner heads according to your floor type? Or potentially just face some resistance? The High Torque cleaner head with Dynamic Load Sensor (DLS) system takes care of that by automatically switching gears between carpet and hard floors upon detection. Is it hard to figure out why your vacuum isn’t working as it should? The new LCD screen will answer all your questions, displaying not just the cleaning modes (Eco, Auto and Boost) and remaining run time in real-time, but also whether it’s time to clean the filters, if there are any blockages (and how to clear them); and if the filter isn’t connected properly. Is operating a vacuum, changing its multiple attachments and disposing of the dust bag often some of the many reasons you rather pick the traditional broom? Dyson’s vacuums and its throng of attachments (for every kind of corner and floor texture) operate with a simple push and click. Align the parts together and click them together. Done. Point the V11 into a dustbin, pull the red lever, and the flap quickly opens to “shoot” out everything it has sucked up straight into the bin. Done.

Essentially, the Dyson V11 Absolute cord-free vacuum is a dream come true, but there’s still definitely room for improvement. For starters, pressing on the trigger to use is easy but not ideal if you’re cleaning for 20 to 30 minutes straight. More so if you’re lifting it to clean anywhere offthe floor—because, with that big battery pack, comes a bit of weight. Personally, those are probably the only two gripes I have with the V11. Noise-wise, it’s considerably softer but don’t expect it to be a quiet beast either. At the very least, it’s not hurtful to the ears. If you’re looking for cons on the V11, you can tell I’m having difficulty reporting any. Let’s just say: I finally enjoy vacuuming over sweeping the floors. And since it’s also handheld, I can literally vacuum everywhere. It sparks joy, so I think Marie Kondo will let me keep it.

The Dyson V11 Absolute cord-free vacuum is now available at RM3,399 from shop.dyson.my, the Dyson Demo at The Gardens Mall and major departmental and electrical stores.

Dyson has done it again with the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute, a cordless stick vacuum cleaner that trumps everything else on the market. Although it looks remarkably similar to its predecessor, the V11, Dyson has improved and built on this solid base, boosting the power and adding new features.

The enormous 26.8m mains cable can become a bit of a tangle if you"re not careful, but it"s a boon if you"re one of those people who hate plugging and unplugging your vacuum every few minutes. Henry"s biggest appeal is value for money, though: replacement bags and filters are relatively cheap, and the overall performance is fantastic for a vacuum that costs as little as this. The best budget vacuum cleaner by far.

The frame sits in a floor dock when not in use, making it convenient and easy to charge without having to fumble around with cables. It also stands up on its own – a surprisingly rare trick for a cordless stick – so you can easily leave it around while you do someth
