Dyson V11 Absolute Update & Maintenance Tips 

Overpriced rubbish!! I've just had the High Torque Head replaced, it was completely ruined. The inside of the barrel was gouged out where the whole cylinder had been running off centre. Yes, free of charge from Dyson, but for this price it has way too many faults! I have an up upright Dyson now 12 years old. That has proved to be a good cleaner, but their range now is really rubbish! I would never buy another one.

good video ,I've just purchased the V11 Absolute and so far over the moon with it ,I purchased the shark cordless but after 2 weeks I returned it back to Shark for a full refund as I found that there wasn't enough suction power but after purchasing the Dyson Absolute its like chalk and cheese in comparison very pleased with it.

I have a v8 absolute and I love it with no problems at all and I have had it for almost 2 years

I have the v10 and I absolutely love it definitely the best I’ve had

That is the most luxurious, expensive and outstanding creaking plastic sound I’ve heard on a cordless! And I did have the V 10! Speaking of, perhaps it’s time to do a shoot out of all your high-end cordless vacuums excluding 11! Cheers… Keith

This was very helpful. Thanks!

That's really unfortunate that your machine broke. The motor on my V10 stopped working, but i called dyson and they sent a whole new vacuum in retail packaging, within a week. Didn't request that i send back the parts to my broken machine either. Very pleased with their customer service.

Thank you I bought some Vuplex after watching this video..it is amazing stuff!! I have used it on everything including my washing machine door, looks like new now :)

My go-to gentleman for all things vacuum x

I have seen these new cordless dysons in the store and I wanted to get one to see what it its like compared to their corded vacuums. The price is very expensive, so I am sticking with corded vacuums for house and car cleaning.

I would recommend waiting a year after a new release before buying a new Dyson vacuum because at that stage they have tested the vacuum on multiple people and have made improvements to the vacuum

THANKS FOR SHOWING YOU ARE AWESOME .

The infamous Vuplex video! God how this stirred quite a pot of drama XD Fair play to you though Roger for actually asking Vuplex if it damages rubber

Muy bien explicado, gracias.

I recently picked up the V8 Absolute on sale from Dyson for 350 euros. If the V11 is 600 UK pounds I'd suggest buying 2 Dyson V8's instead- one for upstairs and one for the downstairs...no more battery woes!

Thanks for sharing your Dyson v11 experience. I agree with you the gold looks Gotti.

My High Torque head broke on my second day using it. Started vibrating and got very loud. Pulled off the stuck on beater bar and found plastic bits came out with it. Mine broke where the white ring is at the base. Dyson is sending me a replacement head.

Grazie mille 😊 ottimo!

I wish I could have this Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. 😌

I have the same issue within 5 uses, but the plastic piece that broke was the little white one you’ve spun on the other end of the motor. I’m under warranty and they’re sending me a new one but I’m astonished that a product at this price point would have such a cheap build. To think the only part of the vacuum you actually interact with is build without metal parts is beyond me

Different experiences, since I've one and no problem at all so far.

Dyson is aware of this issue . They do replace heads without any questions. It is that small part inside the turbo head which breaks easily. Now they’ve recognised the problem and I’ve received head which does not break. Year one and everything is PERFECT!

Damn I am obsessed with the V11!!! It sucks like no other vacuum I've had in a good way!! All that dirt coming out from the carpets was incredible!

Can you review a DustBuster or DustBuster flexi

Recently picked up animal big ball 2. Am worried about the current build quality of these dysons. My old trusty DC19 lasted for ages. Only time will tell.

This vacuum in us is $699. I just bought one and couldn’t be happier

My torque head broke on this after 2 days of owning it & the cap wouldn’t release the bar either - it wasn’t attached so the bar kept jamming for some reason - called Dyson, at the time they didnt have the option to just send me a new torque head so they sent me a brand new boxed machine & took my “old” one away! Bit of a waste but good customer service really

And the price of cordless vacuums is an absolute joke .fair play though as always very informative videos.

do you know if Dyson has fix the not uncommon broken Torque head issue? thanks

Unfortunately, this is why the American Consumer Reports has downgraded all their tested Dyson stick vacs. In their surveys, they discovered that the models develop serious problems within the first few years of normal use. So reliability has been rated poor for the Dyson stick vacs.

Hi, good video! I need your help, I opened it up and I discovered that the white ring not rotating, is it possible to fix it?

What the issues with that bar color ?

The problem i have is everything on the Dyson (every dyson i have owned) feels cheap! Even the brush roll on there seems to be cheap, thin plastic. I just cannot justify why they are so expensive! You probably get this question all of the time but.....Which upright corded vacuum do you think is the best for carpets AND which cordless do you think is best for convenience and a quick clean? I have the Dyson lightball and the V8 but feel like i need a change 😂

I remember the torque head broke on Beko1987's v11 after a few days too, seems a little fragile.

My high torque head wont release the rollerbar either. I called the customerservice and they will send me a replacement. I had my dyson for three weeks.

Despite the £600 purchase price this machine is still made of relatively brittle, creaky plastic and more importantly it has a broken part after just a couple of weeks use. You wouldn't expect a budget price vacuum to break after 2 weeks use let alone one costing £600. Now I'm sure Dyson would replace the broken part under warranty, as you say but on a £600 machine, it shouldn't fail after so little use. Dyson would have us believe that this machine can replace a mains vacuum cleaner and yes I'm sure it performs well but if that is the case when considering the cost of this machine it should be supplied with two batteries. Personally, I think that if anyone is looking for a replacement vacuum cleaner and they have a £600 budget then for the money they would be better off buying a quality brand mains vacuum such as a Sebo or Miele and something like a Shark cordless vacuum if they want the convenience of a cordless for daily quick cleaning.

If I understood correctly J. Dyson said this vac battery will last 15 years. Can you confirm this will last that much on daily use after e.g. 5 years..?

The good thing about Dyson is that if you ring them up they will replace it. Not many people are aware of this. Makes the extra expense worth it.

How often would you clean the inside, the bin and the rubber seal? Just using it typically day in a 3 bedroom house?

7:10 there is literally a spider right next to you and are you keeping the v10

People pay more for Triflex or Lupe.. Are they better then?

i just got this vac and i'm not really impressed with the battery life. I'm not sure if I got a bad battery but the times I'm getting is about half of what is advertised.

The V10 in the US comes with the torque head. So I don’t think it would void the warranty.

Can you review a karcher puzzi S or the Hoover Aquatronic 1100?😉

Cool

You should try veggie or olive oil lowsin

Nice video! in conclusion would you recommend the purchase of v11? do I maybe buy v10 and save some money?

I cannot take it apart for emptying and to use wands! No matter how gent or hard I pull!! Hate it very frustrating 😡

I don’t plan on using my V11’s torque drive as much as I plan on using the soft roller because it will be used on hard floors 99% of the time.

SPIDER!! 🕷, didn't Sam have a broken head on his? doesn't bode well for Dyson all the same.

Is Vuplex really worth $50.? Are there any other products you’d recommend that are less expensive?

Any reason I can't wash the canister in my sink with mild soap? I figure as long as it dries completely should be ok to do this and removes odors better than a wipe... :)

Hi . Can i just ask . How to fix my Dyson v11 absolute power button its not working anymore , its more likely loss already. I think its because i used it oftentimes .

7:05 mr spider photobombed you on your left

No need to contact dyson, just take it to whoever you bought it from. Don’t forget to to get recompense for the time and inconvenience of you having to return it.

I cannot ever imagine having the patience to polish that part of the vacuum cleaner- does it really improve performance in any way?...also, I'd change the heads over (carpet/fluffy/carpet and so on) - that way the carpet head would last longer before wearing out, right?

Where do i get the cleaner for plastic parts?

How is the V10 holding up? Is it worth upgrading to the V11?

Hello, do you leave it charging even if it's 100% charge when unused?

Hey ibaisaic, its defiantly not the polish that causing the problem. The reason the rubber broke is because it's exposed to a lot of heat, centrifugal force and, vibration.

I use plastic ceramic coat used for motorcycles to protect the plastics, works much better ;-)

Spider just wanted to say hiiiiiiii calm down everyone.

For £600 I would expect the extention hose to be included at the start.

Beko/Sam High Torque head broke in 3 WEEKS!!!!

Thats pretty bad considering the cost of the machine. I always thought Dyson screamed good quality. Not so sure now. Especially since I saw a similar problem on Beko1987’s channel. Are there any other good cordless cleaners to recommend other than Dyson?

Creepy crawly at your left knee about 7.30 minutes in lol 😆

Is it safe to charge the item without the filter (purple)?

I imagine Dyson will modify this there’s been many with this problem so far. £600 is a lot of money 💴 for a vacuum cleaner.

They are just not worth £600, end of. I'll stick with my V6 Absolute and V8 Total Clean, as I think the V6 is far more agile and compact for above floor use than the V11 is. Its a pity they discontinued the V6, as its compact size is its best attribute. Sometime small is better , and for a cordless hand vac, this is the case for me. The V11 and V10 design is better suited as an upright substitute rather than a hand vac. Its not good that both yourself and Beko1987 had parts of the Torque drive head fail, and different parts too, and Dyson seem to need to go back to the drawing board if these failures are down to poor quality and poor design. They also seem not to have fixed the issue with the motor being able to be operated by accident by knocking the trigger when emptying the dust bin. If the motor is operated when the bin door is open, then dust in the compartment under the cyclones (the cyclone discharge chamber), is sucked back through the cyclones in reverse and straight onto the pre-motor filter, so if people suffer really dirty filters, then they should enure they never operate the motor with the bin door open, by mistake or not, it makes your filter dirty to do so.

I wish dyson would stop making all the clips and clasps and joints out of plastic

Very disappointing, most likely a design defect which is simply not good enough. I recall Paul Dyson being interviewed last year where he stated that if after testing, parts of his vacuum cleaners failed they didn't increase the weight of the product they changed the design. Well perhaps this time they got it wrong and they have in the past. Years ago I had a DC03, perfectly compact and performed remarkably well for its wattage, however over a period of a couple of years despite careful use it progressively disintegrated, first the brush-bar guard broke then the main handle and so on until I switched to a Miele which still works perfectly. I also have a brilliant little V6 for everyday lighter use, perfect for the job, but Dyson mustn't be complacent, the competition may catch up!

Terrible for £600

Is it just me or do Dysons creaky plastics get right on you T?ts!!!!

I understand that manufacturers are been made to be more economical and green etc etc.but watching you cleaning those filters puts me off ever buying a bag less vacuum ever again .due to so much hassle and mess.i just dont believe cordless vacuums are all that great .I mean to thoroughly clean an average house you'd have to be on the lowest power setting and running about like a mad man.i just wish we could still buy descent uprights but their isn't because of the EU legislation. Which is nonsense

Spider kkkkkkkk

The main reason I don't by Dyson anymore, there crap and don't last five minutes

Their products aren't that well made in my opinion.....the only real R&D is the original cyclone system is all. Best to get them on sale since they aren't worth the price when you get brittle plastic as the main body and parts

First

This is not worth any kind of triple digits price

Sounds squeeky and cheap.

Less of a review and more of a “how to clean my Dyson”

Have bought a Dyson V11 and have had to exchange it 3 times now i need a new roller because the blades are falling apart. Also need a new filter but its impossible to buy them. What a useless machine. A complete waste of money. This is the last Dyson product i will ever buy. Its impossible to buya new filter for this machine.

Spider !
