Anyone who has done house cleaning with a traditional corded vacuum cleaner should try a Dyson cordless model at least once in their life: in this review of the Dyson V11 Absolute Extra Pro macitynet tests the latest, most powerful and smart (and expensive) model of the famous manufacturer of household appliances.
But before we review the impressive technical specifications, the numerous curated details and the engineering pushed down to the smallest detail, let's jump to conclusions. This is because despite the enormous technological complexity, which remains completely invisible to those who are not interested, Dyson V11 is not only easier to use than a traditional vacuum cleaner, but allows cleaning to be done much more easily, accurately and at the same time. time with much less effort. All this with an incredible time saving.
Users who have already tried and purchased it know this well: the leap compared to classic vacuum cleaners is impressive. Just scroll through the list of user reviews, practically all 4 and 5 stars, to often find the funny adjective associated with using the Dyson and even cleaning operations. It may seem like one of those marketing exaggerations, but after trying and using it daily for a few weeks, we can confirm it – cleaning up with the Dyson V11 is even fun. So much so that a greater number of men who so far have promptly avoided this task, will volunteer to clean the house.
But even without going so far as to argue that clean freaks that with the Dyson V11 cleaning become a fun activity, no one can deny this: the time savings ensured by the lightness and manageability of the device, as well as by the absence of the wire. , translate into much smoother and faster work, with impressive time savings. That is, we can do the same job in much less time, in a small cutout of the day, or we can do much more at the same time. Or, again, cleaning much more frequently.
The differences compared to Dyson V10
We recall that last year macitynet did a test drive with the previous Dyson V10, also famous because the manufacturer has perfected the proprietary digital engine, reaching a power and suction capacity such as to equal and surpass the traditional models with wire, thus deciding to end the design and development of new Dyson corded vacuums.
For the impressions and all the details of the Dyson V10 we refer to our article. Here we remind you that this model is equipped with a selector for three operating speeds. Already at the first notch the power delivered is so abundant that it is sufficient for the vast majority of tasks. The power boost is only advisable when deep dirt needs to be removed, for example from upholstered sofas, mattresses or car seats and so on. The previous test drive comes in handy for the Dyson V11 Aboslute Extra Pro review.
In the new Dyson V11 model the selector is replaced by a single button located just below the LCD screen, absent in the Dyson V10. The remaining runtime is shown here and, by pressing the key several times, the user can switch between Eco, Auto and Boost modes. With Eco you have 60 minutes of autonomy and a power suitable for all types of flooring. At maximum Boost power the autonomy is only 5 minutes, but this setting is recommended only for the most difficult and thorough cleaning, such as car seats, mattresses and sofas. In general, for the vast majority of users and for daily cleaning, the most practical and recommended mode is Auto.
In this case, in fact, Dyson V11 Extra automatically detects the surface on which we are working, increasing the power if we are passing over a carpet or carpet, reducing it instead for floors, parquet and harder surfaces, in this way both the power and the autonomy are always adjusted and optimized at best and in a completely automatic way, without the user having to worry about anything.
Compared to Dyson V10, the new Dyson V11 Extra model increases suction power by 20% (the previous model was already very powerful), offers an LCD screen that displays not only the remaining autonomy, but also important information, for example by alerting the user when it is time to clean the filter, for any obstructions caused by objects, also showing how to proceed to remove them and more.
But the substantial difference between Dyson V10 and Dyson V11 lies in the function signed DLS, from the initials of Dynamic Load Sensor, in practice it is the Auto mode with automatic surface recognition and automatic power adjustment that we described above. Basically, with the transition from the V10 model to the V11 model, the brand's best known and most appreciated vacuum cleaner becomes smart and intelligent, but not for secondary and not very useful functions, but for the total and daily management of the device.
The Dynamic Load Sensor technology, literally translatable as a dynamic load sensor, is made possible thanks to the integration of three microprocessors that monitor the performance of the vacuum cleaner up to 8,000 times per second. A microprocessor is placed in the motor, one in the battery and one also in the High Torque brush. The system is able to detect the resistance of the materials under the brush, recognizing them, and adjusting the power accordingly. 
Dyson V11 review: hi-tech for cleaning
Of the more than 12,000 Dyson employees worldwide, approximately 5,000 are engineers and scientists. The manufacturer continues to study, patent and design fundamental technologies for every aspect of its products, including digital motors used in vacuum cleaners and more. The Dyson V11's improved engine, dubbed Dyson Hyperdymium, is capable of an impressive 125,000 rpm. It features a triple diffuser that optimizes the balance between power and performance while also reducing turbulence and noise. Thanks to its increased efficiency, this engine generates 20% more suction power than the previous Dyson V10 model.
A motor is also integrated in the High Torque brush that rotates it up to 360 times per second. This special brush features stiff nylon bristles that deeply penetrate carpets to remove stubborn dirt, plus soft anti-static carbon fiber filaments that capture dust from hard floors and crevices.
Total allocation
For the Dyson V11 Absolute Extra Pro review we tried the newest model which includes the most accessories. The list is impressive: in addition to the High Torque brush we have already talked about, we find the soft roller brush, the crevice nozzle, the multifunctional accessory, the mini turbo brush, the brush for stubborn dirt, the mini brush, the clip for accessories, a second replaceable battery, two power supplies, the wall-mounted charging station and the floor-standing charging station.
It is a rich and complete equipment that allows you to take full advantage of the vacuum cleaner immediately for every cleaning need. The presence of two batteries, two power supplies and two systems for storing the vacuum cleaner, both the wall base and the floor base, allow the vacuum cleaner to be positioned wherever the user wishes, always ensuring that it is recharged and immediately ready for use. . Of course, thanks to the removable battery, the autonomy doubles: 60 minutes plus another 60 minutes. In our home tests and cleaning with Dyson V11 Extra, for a large apartment of over 200 square meters, we reached the maximum of consuming half the charge of a single battery.
The presence of two batteries in the package thus ensures complete freedom even for longer and more intense sessions, or for use in offices and large structures. The manufacturer declares a charging time of 4.5 hours, from zero to 100%. Bearing in mind that in the house we have come to clean everything with half the charge, the time to bring it back to 100% is practically halved.
Powerful also against pollen, bacteria and dust mites
Like the previous V10, the V11 is also equipped with a fully sealed filtration system, capable of capturing 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Not only that: the powerful motor generates 14 cyclones with a force exceeding 79,000 g, in practice this means that the vacuum cleaner also conveys microscopic particles into the container, including pollen, bacteria and dust mites.
Ultimately while we remove dirt and dust from floors and surfaces, the Dyson V10 and V11 also clean the air we breathe, because the one that comes out of the vacuum cleaner is thoroughly filtered and much cleaner than the one that enters. Our health, our lungs and allergic family members thank you. 
Final remarks
Compact, super powerful, extremely handy and much lighter than traditional vacuum cleaners: Dyson V11 Extra but also the previous models V11 and V10 change your life and everyday cleaning. For those who do not want to read all the technical details and the review above, just one anecdote is enough: after having passed the house with the Dyson V11, the floor is so clean that the cloth for washing the floors, and also the rinsing water, they are always clean. Never seen before with any other vacuum cleaner, not even the mammoth corded ones, including the legendary Elf that we have used and enjoyed for over 20 years.
Don't worry about 60 minutes of battery life. We have always been used to corded devices and the leap is epochal: the trigger ignition, like a futuristic gun, and the incredible power and effectiveness of Dyson speed up all operations. We ended up using half the charge, then with another 30 minutes of autonomy remaining, cleaning a house of over 200 square meters. With a much lighter, manageable and powerful vacuum cleaner, we will clean everything in a fraction of the time required in the past with corded models. Another epochal change that to be fully understood must be experienced in person.
For all the reasons explained so far, Dyson V11 can and should only be compared with the best vacuum cleaners on the market. The price is high but it is in line, if not even lower, than the wire dinosaurs that everyone knows, good but light years away from the V10 and V11. In the case of the Dyson V11 Absolute Extra Pro reviewed model, the price is also justified by a very rich equipment, complete with everything.
For users who want to save a little, without giving up all the latest technologies of the V11 Extra, versions with fewer accessories are also available at significantly lower prices. If we are not interested in fully automatic and intelligent operation, you can save even more by purchasing the always good Dyson V10.
For the incredible ease of use, the obsessive attention to design and every detail, the hi-tech specifications and also for the market positioning, Dyson is very reminiscent of Apple. Just like Cupertino's products for smartphones, tablets and computers, Dyson's higher purchase cost must be seen as an investment. You spend a little more but you get a lot more: you will never regret it indeed, after trying it, you will wonder why you have waited so long and you have not bought it before.
