Dyson V11 Torque Drive 268731-01, Cord-Free Vacuum, Blue

Product Information

The display has a countdown timer that shows estimated cleaning time and maintenance information, allowing switching between cleaning modes.

Dyson V6 Animal: the V6 Animal is a Motorhead with more attachments. Both have the same direct-drive bristle brush, but the Animal has two extra tools – a mini-motorized head and a soft dusting brush. If you mostly have a mixed surface, you probably would not switch between the two heads but for hard floors only, it is highly recommended to buy a modification with a soft roller or get one optionally. None of the Dyson V6 is HEPA, except for the Absolute version that has a HEPA filter and is safe for allergy and asthma sufferersThere is also an Animal+ modification that has the accessories of the Animal modifications with an additional flexi crevice tool.

In terms of features and specifications, the Dyson Motorhead, Animal, and Absolute are the same except for the Dyson V10 which has some differences between the modifications. My house is two levels with about 1,100 sqft each. The second floor is all carpets. Do I need to buy the most expensive Dyson?I have mostly hard floors, would it be better if I get the Dyson V11 Torque Drive or go for the Dyson V10 Absolute? Price is about the same.

For both hard floors and carpets there’s the absolutely excellent Torque Drive Motorhead which is comprised of a single high-RPM revolving brush with loads of space around it to prevent clogging. On the front there’s a three-way switch that raises or lowers two little gates for different suction levels. When open, larger items like cereals are also more easily collected. This is the brush head to use for both carpets and floors and definitely the one to choose if you have pets around. In Auto mode it collected more dog and cat hair than we thought possible and even Eco mode performed exceptionally well when used on a hard floor.The Dyson V10 would be suitable as it lasts up to 60 minutes. Should be enough for such area. It is also good for carpets. If you want smart features such as a display and carpet boost, consider getting the V11. The Dyson V7 is really good for homes with carpets. It does the job on hard floors too so if you have a small area of solid floors and mostly carpets, the V7 is a good buy. The Dyson Omni-Glide, as well as Micro, are not available to buy right now. However, those are two very different from the V series models. Those two are made for hard floors only and do not include a standard roller. The Omni-Glide is made to be very maneuverable; the Micro is the most lightweight on the market. However, with the small size, it has reduced the dustbin size too which means it is not meant to be for big or heavy jobs. Dyson V6 Fluffy: it comes with a roller head only, no brush with stiff bristles for carpet cleaning. Ideal for bare floors.
