It’s easy on the arm, and delivers powerful suction even on the lowest power mode, and the generous runtime means you can get plenty done before you need to put it on charge. Surprisingly, with the High Torque head attached, you get the longest battery life in Boost mode thanks to those clever pressure-sensitive sensors.

This model ships with everything you’ll need, including a soft roller for hard floors and a mini motorised brush for upholstery. This transparent plastic organiser sits on the V11’s wand and allows for two tools, such as the crevice and combination tools, to travel with you anywhere you clean.

That’s the same as the V10, because the V11’s larger battery has the more powerful motor for increased suction. If last year’s model signalled the death of corded models, the V11 gives them that final push over the edge.

Dyson's V11 Absolute takes a whopping four-and-a-half hours to fully charge for up to 60 minutes of runtime. A new, higher-capacity lithium-ion battery means the runtime of up to 60 minutes matches the V10 models, despite the V11’s extra power, and the trigger switch means no wasted battery caused by the motor running when you’re not actually cleaning.

Most of the time, I was able to leave it to do its thing in automatic mode, saving the trouble of having to fiddle with power settings. Even with a handful of sticky Cheerios scattered on a hard floor, the V11’s High Torque head is able to roll over and clean up the mess. Dyson’s vacuum cleaner range isn’t always the easiest to get to grips with, and, as has been the case with the past few V series, there are three main variants to choose from: the Dyson V11 Animal, the Dyson V11 Torque Drive and the Dyson V11 Absolute.As a result of the design of the bin, you have to remove the pole or accessories to empty it – a fair trade-off, given that you can prevent dust spilling out.
