Dyson V11 Extra Cordless Vacuum Cleaner | Iron | New

I purchased the Dyson DC11 while I was waiting for a replacement part for my DC41(it's old and now runs like new again). I have two large breed dogs and run the vacuum daily, sometimes more than once if they are shedding badly) this is a great addition for versatility with floors and the variety of attachments. I use it more for maintenance cleaning on weeknights and use my upright on my cleaning days. I have mostly hard wood floors and area rugs and love on a smaller house. With the regular cleaning of the floors on Med mode and the furniture on boost I need to charge once a week. I don't think I'd use for my main vac I'm but love the attachments and flexibility to get all the hard to reach places.

This is our 3rd Dyson vacuum. Our first was the yellow DC07 upright, which we absolutely loved! Our second was a purple ball animal vacuum, which we did not like so much, but got the job done, until recently, the mechanism that keeps it upright quit working, along with the hose not wanting to so back in smoothly. I was never a fan of the ball type vacuums, but at the time of purchase it was the one in our price point. After, doing some research on the Dyson cordless models, I decided on the V11. I wasn't sure if I would like the full weight of the vacuum being "my muscle responsibility" but I am happy to report it has been just fine. The canister capacity has been fine also. We have an 1800 sq ft house with a golden retriever and cat and all hard surface floors, so there is definitely "pet glitter" to vacuum. I am able to vacuum the whole house and empty once at the end, so I think that is pretty awesome! The ability to get under furniture has been amazing also. The V11 Extra came with many attachments and so far I haven't used them all, but I would expect that in true Dyson fashion that they work well. We purchased a stand for the vacuum (from Amazon), since this is not something that stands on its own. The stand houses all of the attachments and can charge on the stand as well. Over all we are happy with our purchase and love the ease of going to grab the vacuum to get a mess picked up quickly, without the extra hassle of undoing a cord and wrapping it back up. I would highly recommend this product!
