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.

Win a Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Rules and Regulations
Good luck!
All of them (the cats! the dog!)
I would use this in my entire house! my dogs shed like crazy!
I would use this to vacuum my living room carpet as we have a kitty who loves to sleep on the carpet in the sunlight coming through the window. She loses so much hair that she really should be bald by now!
I would like to start upstairs in my bedrooms and then make my way downstairs. I have never had a vacuum that has lived up to my expectations.
I would use the Dyson to clean all rooms in my cottage
I would try it downstairs and in the garage.
Kitchen and car need a Dyson power vacuum the most !
I would love to clean my living room and down the hall, all carpet. This area is the most travelled in my house and most area used by my grandkids, 5 and 7, for arts and crafts, lots of cutouts, and messes and where they often snack off the coffee table, crackers, cheese, popcorn, chips, cheeses, etc. Always needs vacuuming!
All of them (the cats! the dog!)
I would like to use it for my bedroom. I have two dogs and carpeted floors.
The stairs and hallway
My bedroom, which also serves as a storage room so it is pretty difficult to navigate with my current bulky vacuum
I would like to totally vacuum my whole house with this awesome vacuum stick, but mainly the family room as it is used most often
I foster a dog and cat so this vacuum would be so useful picking up hair in every room of the house. It seems to float all over and the Dyson is so portable.
I would have to vacuum my kitchen
It’s a tough choice as the floors, furniture and carpet are all cat fur and kitty litter magnets that need daily attention! But definitely hands down this would be a blessing for the bedroom to get underneath the bed, chairs, and other furniture. Thank you for the opportunity. Here’s hoping.!
Mostly the stairs – so many stairs! It would also be great for cleaning up the kitchen after the kids make snacks or eat.
Well, where to start! Well I would definitely use the Dyson11 Absolute Pro in the 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and the laundry room. Of course while i’m at it, I’m sure it would also do a great job on my outdoor deck, why not! Then of course I’d be using it for the stairs and hallways. The dining room, living room, family room and the front entrance way would definitely get lots of cleaning using the Dyson11 Absolute Pro, likely on a daily basis. The Dyson11 Absolute Pro would see my kitchen more often than any other space, likely twice a day, since it is so easy to use. Next, the basement would surely give the Dyson11 Absolute Pro a workout!! And lastly, the garage would definitely be getting a visit from the Dyson11 Absolute Pro on occasion!!! The Dyson11 Absolute Pro is a dream 🙂
I’m moving into a new apartment, so I’d definitely love to use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to give the whole place a good clean before I make it my own.
We have had an older model Dyson and would benefit from this newer more powerful version for the entire house.
the entire house.
I need a powerful vacuum like this Dyson to pick up dog fir
Definitely the living room carpet where my dog lives.
the living room, but the stairs would be easier too
I’d use this in all rooms, but particularly handy for the living room and carpeted closet of my rental apt
I would definitely use the Dyson vacuum to clean the carpets, kitchen and dining room. All of those areas needs constant cleaning with 4 kids in the house and I love to keep things clean and tidy!
I would clean the living room, where the dogs congregate.
I would definitely use this vacuum in my kitchen and bath. I have a large upright vacuum that does the carpet in the living room, hall and bedrooms but I’d love having this to do my living room entry stairs also and the smaller areas that are hard to get to with the larger and wider vacuum I have because it can be awkward and is also heavy to lift up and down stairs.
I would clean my bedroom floor for sure!
I would use it for all the rooms and also the vehicles
I’d use this all over the house but mainly in the kitchen after my infant finishes eating/throwing food everywhere…
Kitchen
My messy 11 year old child’s room would be first and the teenagers rooms next!! Those 3 rooms would surely test its abilities!!!
I would use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro for all rooms but mostly in the bathroom.
I would use this cordless vacuum in every room but mostly in the kitchen. Thanks for a chance to win.
I live in a studio, so it will be cleaning my bedroom/living/dining room!
All of them!
Wow, with this vacuum every room in my house is doable!
Seems like it’s powerful enough to handle any cleaning job!
Even stairs would be easy to do, my carpeting would feel brand new again!
Everywhere where my little fur ball dog is in. Specially the living room.
The living room and the kitchen.
I need this sooo badly for my entire place. I truly believe that my current vacuum just makes noice and doesn’t actually pick anything up
Oh, I need this for the prehistoric dust bunnies in my spare bedrooms!
Cleaning my living room with this little vaccuum with the big punch would be amazing!
I would use this in all rooms in my home. It seems to be a great vacuum to get a great job done!
I have a cat and carpeting in my apartment, I would definitely start off in my livingroom.
Clean the basement rug and our camper trailer would be a great vacuum
Well considering our house is mostly carpet, there’s no shortage of carpet to be cleaned. So I’d say, the whole house!
Every room in my house could benefit from a great vacuuming with the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum.
All of them (the cats! the dog!) but especially what we call the “parlor”. It’s an old house and the “parlor”, which functions as a living room, used to be a store years ago. It’s comfy and lovely to be in but with the cats and the dog also favoring it (it gets the sun which the cats love and has the nicest carpet which the dog loves) it does get rather fuzzy rather quickly…
Id definitely appreciate one these. daughter has 4 birds and our dog in her room. And vacuum our rooms. Ive always dreamed of owning one these.
I would have to vacuum my kitchen, It gets the most use and gets the dirtiest.
