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!
Definitely my son’s room. 4 year old’s have a propensity for creating a mess.
I really need a professional vacuum cleaner to clean all the spiders in my home,especially the ceiling. I believe that is V11. Thank you.
The basement stairs.
My living room needs cleaning all the time.
Every corner in our house : )
I would use it through out my house. I love the one I have now but really look forward to a model that is great for all surfaces
Our Bedrooms, Staircase, Living room, Basement…. The whole house needs to be cleaned everyday
I would use this in my babies room, so much dog hair !
My main floor living room is high traffic — I’m sure this vacuum will be very handy and do the trick !
I would use this for every room in my house to be honest they all need so much cleaning all the time
Family room full of dog hair
Our Motorhome – and since this is Rechargeable it is perfect for this use! Charge at home or when the Generator is on and reuse as needed. The constant traffic of going outside and inside and picking up grass, dirt and debris along the way. I have a Dyson Upright in my house and I LOVE it!!!!!!!
My wife, daughter and myself are just just about to move into our 1st home and there is a few different types of rooms including laminate, hardwood and carpet and with 2 pets the portable use of the V11 would be ideal. We have one cordless vaccum that does not provide the needed reliability and suction needed
Our main floor family room is high traffic, so this vacuum would be really handy !
Basically every room since we have a cat and there is hair everywhere!! Not counting mine and my husbands beard hair!!
I have one of these amazing tools but would like one for my sister who cares for my mom. It would make her life so much easier.
My bedroom floors are unreal.
Our kitchen, our living room, our bedroom, and most of all, our (future) nursery.
I would use the Dyson to clean my entire house!
My ceilings and walls, floors and door mats.
I have a few rooms I would love to use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Vacuum in …. but I bet its nice and easy to get it under the bed and dressers in my bedroom … 🙂 and my studio .. oh what a mess …lol
My dining/living room. 4 kids (somedays more) = a daily mess. Extra (man)power is always welcome to come clean my house.
For the last two months, my Linden tree has been dropping these berries all over the yard and they are getting tracked into the house – especially in the entranceway. Have to truck my canister vacuum out of the closet and over to the entrance carpet is a pain, so it would be awesome to have a cordless vacuum like this to keep it clean. Also, I have a carpeted staircase, and it is such a challenge to get enough suction while hovering the canister vacuum down each of the steps, and hoping I do not trip on the cord. Thanks BEST BUY for having this contest.
My family room needs cleaning constantly
Absolutely perfect for cleaning crumbs and dry spills in the kitchen. I spilled sugar and my dyson did not miss a crystal. Love it!
Living room
My whole house lol with 3 dogs and 2 cats walking around I can vacuum twice a day and it’s still everywhere but I bet with this product and the containment method I may only have to do it once a day
I need this to clean the basement!!
Id like to clean every room in my place that my dog has ever been in with the Dyson V11 Absolute pro.
Our kitchen for sure, all the food crumbs!
I would use the Dyson in every room of my house. With 2 cats shedding and tracking litter on the hardwood floor and carpets, even hours after I’ve just vacuumed it looks like I never clean the place!
Our living room & bedroom!
My laundry room could use a great cleaning!
I use it in every room! Don’t know how all these dust bunnies get in!
I would like to clean my son’s bedroom 🙂
I have two babies two and under and two dogs and two cats. I need this for allllllll the rooms in my house!
STAIRS first, it’s hard to clean the stairs with my old vacuum.
Also I want to clean my mattress with the amazing V11
The dog hair permeates every corner of my apartment, I can’t escape it. But I’ll say bedroom because it’s impossible to get out of the carpets
Family room, dinning room and kitchen. I purchased a new house and due to the outside construction work it requires frequent cleaning.
I would use this everyday in every room. I have four daughters, six grand babies all under 4 who are always at my house. One lives with me not to mention my American Eskimo who’s white hair is everywhere. After a day or weekend you can find cookies, candy, chips, dog hair you name it in every crevice. From the chairs, couch, corners you name it. The Dyson would make my life so much easier. Thank you.
Family room, dinning room and kitchen. I purchased a new house and due to the outside construction work it requires frequent cleaning almost daily.
Living room
The living room.
We have a dog and three cats – so, we have to vacuum the living room, stairs and the entrance hallway practically every day (as well as the sofas, armchairs, etc.)
The living room!
I would like to use it in my condominium, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living – dining room, bathroom, walk in closet, entrance and to clean everything from dog hair (including bed covers). V11 is the most powerful and have good battery so everything would be cleaned by one charge.
The stairs, living room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. My house has a lot of stairs and different floor types so it’s hard to switch and carry the heavy vacuum.
My living room, kitchen and bedroom these areas really need to be vacuum
In the kitchen
living room, dining and bedroom! I would love to have a little push to help me tidy up all the corners of our house.
