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!
The kitchen seems to be the worse but somehow all the dirt and dust travels in all the rooms!
Love to try it on the stairs. The vacuum I have now is big, chunky and can’t make it all the way up the stairs.
I need this so I can rock out to some tunes, like I do when when I’m doing other household chores, without tripping over the hose and power cord of my current cheap vacuum. The V11 would also be quieter so I might not even have to wear headphones .
Kitchen, front and back entrance seem to need vacuum the most often.
With two dogs and two young kiddos, I would definitely benefit from the power of the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro in every room of my home!! Especially in the kitchen and living room where we all spend the majority of our time together!! Being able to relax and enjoy each other’s company without the stress of dirt and dust would be wonderful!! 🙂
My 11 years old daughter is a clean-freak. She would love to use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean her bedroom and the dinning area as her little brother is in the habit of dropping food on the floor when eating.
I would use this vacuum all over the house as we have 3 floors and a standard vacuum is very hard to drag around….
I would definitely start with my living room, this is where most of my dogs hair seems to be! The carpet and his favourite chair..
I would love to teach my family how to use this incredible to clean their rooms and common space. We live in the house together so we need a simple tool to clean in.

It would be my parents’ condo living room and bedrooms as their green Electrolux vacuum cleaner from the 1970s has finally “retired”
I would like a new vacuum as I,m still using an old clunker that is heavy to use. This looks so easy to use especially for living space and entry ways!
What room DON’T I want to clean?!?
If I had to choose one, I’d have to choose the front foyer where sand and dirt is constantly being tracked inside. It’s a never ending battle!
Bedrooms would be the beat fit for the v11 for sure.
I need this to clean out family room!
My kitchen and front entry hallway.
I would love to have a Dyson vacuum. I have three dogs and have to vacuum daily to keep the dog hair at a minimum. I have read up on the Dyson VII and think this is the perfect vacuum for our household, powerful, cordless and light. Perfect
I am moving into a townhome with 3 levels. I would love to have the Dyson for the first level (kitchen, dining room and living room). It would be very helpful!

I would love to win a Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum from Best Buy to tackle the seemingly impossible task of keeping my floors clean with my Basset Hound × Labrador mix, Stogie, in the house. I love him, but if I miss a day of vacuuming there are literal tumbleweeds of dog hair rolling through the apartment, which is cool when you want to feel like an old West gunslinger, but not cool when you’re tired from school and work, and expecting company. The main problem areas are in the bedroom, the living room- known as Stogie’s room- and the kitchen, where he doesn’t really go, but life (and pet hair) finds a way. Thank you for hosting this contest!
I would use it to clean my baby room.I have a newborn, and I think Dyson V11 can give my baby boy a clean environment to live.

I would use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro in our living-room, dining room and family recroom, but overall I would use it in every room of our home, Thank you for the opportunity.
