I like doing chores. I know that sounds weird but it’s true. Washing dishes, tidying up, and setting things right are small joys I get to experience daily. When I saw the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum, I couldn’t help but think that it’d make doing chores even more fun. Or, for many people, make doing chores fun for the first time. Seem like a big challenge for a vacuum cleaner? Read on to find out what makes this Dyson stick vacuum so cool and find out how to enter for your chance to win one.
The little pleasures of housework
Marie Kondo kicked off a trend for tidy spaces that has only grown since. Kondo was more focused on stuff: objects that people kept around that they did not use or need. I find a different but related joy in housework. Clearing away dirt and getting things back to their clean, unsullied state feels like a beautiful exercise in discipline and control.
It can feel pretty dis-empowering in day-to-day life to realize lots of things are out of your personal control. From the obvious, like the weather, to the frustrating, like someone choosing a seat next to you on the bus when the entire bus is empty, to the corporate, like that annoying way your boss chews at company lunches. After dealing with that all day I totally get the urge to come home and do nothing as soon as you kick off your shoes and flop onto the sofa to watch some TV.
But what I do after kicking off my shoes is take my containers from lunch and wash them in my kitchen sink. I finally get to have control over something, and in this case, it’s making sure that these dishes are clean and out of the way. Having an orderly, quiet domestic space is a form of service to oneself, I like to tell people. It’s where you remind yourself that you’re worth it. Selfcare through home-care, if you will.
So far, I haven’t quite figured out how to apply this philosophy to vacuuming, however. Vacuums have been, historically, rather bulky and loud to me. They weren’t something you could quickly pull out of storage and then use to tidy things up. Plus, with different floor types throughout most homes, it just seemed like a proposition best saved for a free Sunday afternoon.
But with the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum, it really is possible to enjoy tidying up everyday messes. I think it’s now a reality that you could clean your floors in the same way as quickly washing a dish or organizing some mail. Keep reading to learn about the neat features this vacuum contains to make that all happen.
The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro makes vacuuming its own bit of joy
Effective vacuuming requires lots of powerful suction. That used to mean being tied down to a cord, but the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro is totally wireless and gets up to 60 minutes of battery life on a full charge. That means you can leave it charging somewhere convenient and pull it out as needed. And I do mean convenient, because with its striking purple and iron colour scheme, you’ll never want to hide this vacuum away to begin with.
This vacuum can also automatically detect different floor surfaces and adjust its suction mode accordingly, revving up on thick, plush pile carpet and slowing down on delicate hardwood floors all on its own. Plus, this feature helps extend battery life because it means you won’t accidentally leave the vacuum in high-power mode when you don’t need it to be. Now you won’t have to fret over different floor types, you can just keep cleaning from hardwood, to vinyl, to carpet and back again.
The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro also comes with nifty attachments like the mini motorized tool that’s perfect for stairs, and the flexi-crevice tool to really reach into nooks and crannies in things like cozy recliner chairs to get all the crumbs out. And, once it’s time to empty this vacuum, you won’t have to worry about dropping dust and dirt back onto your clean floors because you can use the handy swiping tool built-in on the vacuum to sweep quickly and neatly everything from the vacuum’s canister right into the trashcan.
The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro even has an LCD screen to tell you what mode it’s running in and the status of the battery and filter. That way, you’ll know when it’s time to clean the filter, charge the battery, and more all at glance. No need to disassemble everything just to check if the filter is clean.
It may sound like I’m kind of giddy about these features; you’d be right. But remember how I said vacuuming can finally become another bit of satisfying daily housework, something else to take control of like washing dishes and tidying up? I really think all these features not only make that possible, they really drive home how cleaning up can be full of little moments of joy every day.

everywhere
Great Room
I would clean all of the rooms in my house, we have carpet everywhere except for kitchen & bathroom.
The office room/aka the Cats room! Litter is everywhere all the time!
I have 4 cats, and wood stove. The main living room is always dusty. The downstairs is all wood flooring, and requires daily vacuuming. I am so looking forward to winning a Dyson (especially a cordless), because I also have COPD. All
the other vacuums I have used don’t clean worth a d..n.
I’d use it in living room on the rug. And in the bedroom. We’ll also see how it does on the hardwood floors in the rest of the house.
My living room and family room I have a dog
I would use it in my workshop
All of the rooms in my apartment because of the carpet which is older and my daughter has allergies.thank you for this chance
I would enjoy using this cordless vacuum in every room, with the suction I bet it has. I own a corded Dyson pet vacuum and I love it, but a good cordless would make life so much easier for me. Bedrooms, hallways, bathroom, stairs and the main floor, including the kitchen would all benefit by the frequency I would use this valuable cleaning tool!
my Kitchen is a nightmare, with pets and 3 kids.
Living room (cat hair).
Kitchen.

I am currently downsizing and have a regular Dyson vacuum cleaner. I would use this as my multipurpose cleaning tool for every space. It’s always easier when.you have the right tool for the job.

Bedrooms need a strong vacuum to get up the nasty cat hair from her sleeping underneath the bed …..its a lot!!!!
I’d clean my bedrooms, living room, hallway and stairs with this Dyson! Plus inside my couch where my [super sheddy] dog spends her days waiting for me to come home, and my car! I’d love to have such a versatile vacuum!!
The Kitchen floor is mostly where I would use it. When the sun shines in I can can see every crumb and it drives me crazy.
The living room!
just got a house and could clean all rooms and basement with it.
The carpet in our living room. My vacuum does not work properly. It shoots the dirt out
My bedroom carpet
upstairs floor for both carpet and flooring.
The living room of my dog..
the kitchen and bathroom are always a challenge. thanks
living room kitchen
I have a cat, so absolutely every corner of my apt needs this awesome Dyson! If I have to pick just one room I suppose the bedroom needs it the most.♥ Thanks for the chance to win!
I live in a log home with an open concept downstairs containing living room, dining room and kitchen all with different floor surfaces so the Dyson V11 would handle all these surfaces easily. Living in the country means always dragging in bits from outside. The ease of use with the Dyson makes quick cleanups a breeze
being disabled, i find vacuuming the bedrooms and living room to be very difficult
I could really use this to clean properly and ..safely behind our two large fish tanks. Because it is cordless and narrow it would make th e task so much easier for me.
The children’s bedroom and kitchen.
I would love it for our rec room which is ALWAYS filled with teens playing video games and eating snacks and who leave a mess everywhere down there so it would be good for the furniture and the floor!
Just bought a huge house and this would definately come in handy to clean 5 rooms.
I would use the V11 Dyson all over the house from cleaning webs on ceilings to cleaning draperies to vacuum floors and carpets. I know from reputation HOW powerful Dyson vacuums are.
I would love to win this to use throughout my entire home…I love the look and function of all Dyson products..so it would be awesome to win one.
The whole house!
This would make cleaning spare room in basement much easier plus my built in is horrible so need for all rooms.
Dyson is an awesome product !!
My closet could use a good clean!
I’d like to use it in my living room. With 3 pets, it’s always full of fur.
I would use it all around my house, but especially in the hallways and the living room.
I would love to clean my main living room, dining room & bedrooms with this Dyson! I also have a cat, so I need to daily clean-ups, and this would make it so much easier, since it is cordless! Thanks for the opportunity to WIN!
