If you take it from a hard floor on to carpet, you’ll hear the difference in the motor as it adjusts to the new floor surface, working harder to clean the carpet. The new V11 has some smart sensors that detect factors such as the floor texture and adjusts the power accordingly. It feels like a toy, snap the parts together and off you go.

It doesn’t feel like a boring vacuum cleaner. Maybe it is the way everything fits together on the Dyson machines. There’s only so much you can do with that.Īnd yet, 30-(cough)-year-old me is interested. They have one job: suck up the crud that daily life grinds into the carpet. It’s hard to make vacuum cleaners interesting to most people. My first vacuum cleaner was chosen based on price (it was under €60). Twenty-five-year old me was still slightly incredulous that I actually cared about vacuum cleaners enough to think that it merits the price tag that comes along with the Dyson. And also that consumers were willing to pay the extra for the cordless technology. It was a bold move, but Dyson felt the technology was at a point where the cordless cleaners could do as good a job if not better than the traditional version. The founder of the company that had made its name on bagless cylinder vacuum cleaners was drawing a line in the sand: cordless was the future and Dyson would no longer develop the traditional plug-in version. Just over a year ago, James Dyson unveiled the V10 and declared the corded vacuum cleaner was dead.
