From cleaning up my college dorm room to clearing dust away from hard-to-reach corners in my current home, I’ve relied on cordless vacuums throughout my life. And none have gotten the job done better than my Dyson V11 Animal Cordless Vacuum.

In my house I have wood floors, rugs and carpets, as well as leather sofas, and the V11 does a sterling job of cleaning all of them. Whether I need to give an area a thorough cleaning or just do a quick pickup of dirt or dust in a specific spot, my V11 does the job with ease. Here’s my breakdown of what the V11 offers, why it’s at the top of its class, and why you should invest in one.

Dyson V11 Animal Cordless Vacuum

The first thing you’ll notice about the V11 is its streamlined “stick” design, which makes it easy to maneuver and store (with an included mounting base that also holds the vacuum attachments). Don’t mistake the thin profile for lack of power, though; the V11 provides plenty of suction, with a motor that can hit 125,000 rpm and a dynamic load sensor system that automatically adjusts for hard floors or carpets. And where it counts most — giving a room a deep clean — the V11 captures an impressive 99.97% of particles, as its filtration system snags allergens as small as 0.3 microns. An additional “turbo” mode also provides a welcome boost of power for especially dirty areas.

Making the vacuum truly handheld is as easy as detaching it from the stick with a single click. And the included brush and tool attachments can handle just about any situation, from cleaning upholstery to scooping up pet hair, attacking more stubborn messes and reaching into tight crevices.

Some vacuums provide decent performance but run short on battery life. That isn’t the case with the Dyson V11, though, as one charge gets you over an hour of use. The vacuum’s LCD display also keeps you updated on how much battery life you have left so you won’t encounter any unwelcome surprises, and it also alerts you in case of blockages or if the filter is in need of cleaning.

Unlike other vacuums, the V11 won’t annoy your ears; its acoustic baffles improve airflow and keep the noise down to a decent 70-decibel level. And if you’re wary of vacuums that pile up costs due to replacing filters and other parts, I’m happy to report that the V11 is a bagless vacuum, with all dust and allergens scooped up by the dirt compartment and easily disposed of in a waste basket with the simple pulling of a handle. No need for replacement bags or even filters during the lifetime of the vacuum, as long as you clean the included filter periodically.

Expert reviewers agree that the Dyson V11 Animal Cordless Vacuum is a great all-purpose cleaning machine that’s equally effective on bare floors or carpeting. Amazon reviewers praise the V11 as a good all-around machine that can handle just about any kind of major or minor cleanup, with superior battery life compared to the competitors.

With its plentiful battery life and solid suction power, the Dyson V11 remains my top pick for a cordless vacuum that does it all without a fuss.
