The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum is shown cleaning a hardwood floor in a white room. It makes a clean sweep through the dust and debris on the floor, leaving nothing behind it.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

A person vacuums from hardwood to carpet with the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro. They hold the vacuum in their right hand while their left hand points to to the LCD display which reads "Auto."

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.

A person empties the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro's dust canister into a trashcan by holding the canister with their right ahnd swiping down the contents into the trashcan using the built-in lever on the canister with their left hand.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.

  4. It would have to be my family room this is where we spend the most time as a family and where my kids leave a trail of crumbs from their snacks.

  10. I would start cleaning the family room first. Then slowly work my way up to all the rooms in the house including the basement & the fruit cellar. That should keep me out of trouble for a week or two.

  11. i Would love to win one of these Dyson V11 pro so i can do all my rooms in my home
    Especially to be able to get under the beds to vaccum. We have rugged bedroom so cleaning it from dust etc would make me have a better nights sleep
    I cant do that with my present vaccum. As well wireless and 60 min battery life ! LOVE IT

  12. I would use it everyday in my whole house. It would be great to have in our Toy Hauler too. We are gone for 6 weeks every summer. Traveling in Canada and the US.

  13. I would clean the bedroom, office, spare bedroom and bathroom upstairs where our four furry cats and litter box all live, with fur (lots) and scattered litter by 16 paws everywhere daily. Then I’d do the stairs where some of this fur lands. Next downstairs where our two 80+ lb. dogs live to do the kitchen, dining/living room, bathroom, entry way, & mud room where, along with the pup fur, more cat fur seems to find it’s way down to! I’m ready!!!

  16. I would like to clean my entry way. It gets the most dirt, pet hair and traffic of the whole house. It has rugs, tile and hard flooring and is a pain to drag out full size Wacom to change heads to do this room

  20. The living room and the kitchen . The living has ab area rug that the dog loves to roll around on and its the place where he brings his leaves. The kitchen lots of crumbs you cant see but the Dyson will pick them up.

    • I can absolutely use this is every room!! I have teenage sons and a 65lb English Bulldog!! The crumbs and pet hair are a real challenge with my allergies, so I would LOVE this little gem!!

  23. I would like to clean my livingroom and bedroom, but actually I would really like to clean all of them because…animals and children.

  39. I would use this in the kitchen and the bedroom! Both me and my girlfriend loose ALOT of hair and a good vacuum would be very helpful to clean it all up

    • More than just a single room, I would be thrilled to be able to easily clean all the corners, baseboards, window frames, and blinds that are normally such a hassle to have to wipe down by hand.

  42. I would love to use the V11 in every room of my house, but definitely in the living room. We spend most of our time there and have a dog that sheds like crazy!

  43. First my son’s hangout…that is ..his room for playing Xbox and hangin out with his buddies..you know what boys are like for munching…then follow through the rest of the house..the joys of cleaning. at least if I win the Dyson v11 absolute pro..I’ll have the best on my team the , #Dysonvacuum. #BestBuy #thankful #grateful #giveaway

  47. I would LOVE a Dyson stic vacuum! I would use it for my sisters suite, corners all around the house, and the bathrooms – because we have a central vacuum- which we only have 4 ports for (none of which are in my sisters suite), and 5 women in 1 house, accumulates a crap ton of hair!
