While the Torque Drive is great for both carpets and hard floors, the Soft Roller is brilliant at preventing scattering and picking up both large and small debris from hard floors. It’s also more delicate on surfaces that are prone to scratching. So, if you have lots of hardwood floors, then it’s probably a good idea to pay extra for the Absolute. One of the stand-out features of the V11 is the LCD screen. This shows an estimate of the remaining battery life, depending on which tool and mode you’re using. It also displays the current suction power and error messages.
I have to confess that when I pressed the trigger for the first time to power-on the dyson robot vacuum Pro, the motor’s sound was discernibly low compared to other vacuum cleaners, I used before. If you’re shopping for a stick vacuum and debating between the Dyson V11 Absolute and Dyson V11 Outsize, you’re probably wondering what the difference is between these two. You can also read full reviews of both the Dyson V11 Outsize and Dyson V11 Absolute here on the blog.
Dirt and hair got stuck on the cloth inside the soft roller head, and it’s impossible to clean. However, given the mostly hard surfaces in your home the soft roller brush is going to be pay big dividends for you. If you’ve got it within the shark cordless budget I think the soft roller head is a super nice addition. However, even without it the V11’s multi surface cleaning head will do perfectly well on its own. My home is strictly Hardwood floors and 6 oriental carpets, nothing else.
Although the two heads use spiral brush rolls to clean, the Torque Drive design has higher torque, therefore giving it a higher suction power. When testing both vacuum types, we discovered that it takes around 210 minutes to fully charge the V8 models and about 480 minutes to fully charge the V11 models. The Dyson V11 takes a longer time to charge because it uses a 30.45 lithium-ion battery, while the V8 model uses a 21.6 lithium-ion battery. When you buy a vacuum cleaner, you want it to be easy to maintain. One of the biggest hassles is spending an hour cleaning the machine after you’re done cleaning your home.
Your High torque cleaner head has a slider control to adjust the suction of the cleaner head. The Dyson V11 shouldn’t be used to vacuum up water or other liquids. Since the Dyson V11 wasn’t designed to suction water, doing so could potentially damage the electric components and increase the risk of electrocution. Any type of liquid might also clog the tubes and the filter. If you have spilled liquid on the floor, it’s best to mop the spill using a clean cloth or mop.
