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!
My livingroom I would really enjoy using it because its light weight and with my back problems anything that makes cleaning easier I’m in.
I would love to win. I have two cats who fill the hose with fur. The entryway and livingroom are the high traffic area and this would be great.
My entire house this vacuum. Is supposed to be a beast 🙂
I would give the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to my 20 year old daughter who has her first apartment in Toronto and no vacuum. She could use it on the hardwood, area rugs and tile throughout her small space. She currently uses a broom and dustpan which is just not as clean or efficient!
Living room, bedrooms, carpet steps. The entire house actually! Even my car:)
I have a large house by myself and a Dyson would make my cleaning so much quicker and efficient 🙂
Living room, steps and bedrooms. Well, the entire house actually:)
I have a long haired cat – the whole house needs vacuuming all the time!
There isn’t a room in my home that wouldn’t benefit from the Dyson but if I had to choose it would be living room and bedroom. I vacuum daily, I have pets. My friend has a Dyson and swears by it. I would love to know that I have a tool that really cleans.
I have a big comfy sofa in the living room that we call Big Red – we all lounge on it and it has so many tucks and folds and nooks and crannies that it needs vacuuming all the time! I know the Dyson would make short work of all that is hiding in Big Red and on the floor underneath!
Would love to clean the entire house!
From the master bedroom to the kitchen and hallways. Cleaning would be an fun efficient activity than a chore using the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro.
My whole place. Use it for main cleaning and quick cleanups on window blinds , counter surfaces And blinds
Car interior as well

This would be great for any room
toute la maison mais surtout l’entré de coté
I would start with the kitchen and work my way through the entire house. The fact that it’s cordless makes it so much easier for quick clean ups, but it is powerful enough to give a thorough cleaning when you need it.
The heart of our home where we all get together at the end of the day is the kitchen. It has to be clean and nothing does the cleaning better than a Dyson.
Kitchen constantly needs the Dyson assistance.
My entire house! And my older vaccum
Is dead!
I will say my living room but all my house will need the V11 !
I would use it everywhere! I have two cats and a husky that sheds an incredible amount of fur and I need to vacuum daily, or more like hourly. The run time on the Dyson V11 would be incredible and the fact that it can distinguish between carpet and flooring would be great.
I would love to have this for my basement apartment and my car! My German shepherd/husky dog sheds everywhere all the time and this beautiful engineering marvel would make life so much easier and save me time. I would love to dock it right in the main space so I could use it multiple times a day to pick up the dirt and hair that seems to come from nowhere.
I would love to clean the whole house, honestly. 4 cats and 3 children – there’s nothing I wouldn’t want to clean with this.
Kitchen crumbs and daily messes
I could definitely use this in my living room, we only have 2 plugs in our living room so we always have to unplug something to vacuum but this cordless vacuum would be a lifesaver.
The living room. two cats adds up to constant fur everyhwere.
I’d use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro in all the rooms in the house but most often in the entry way which gets a lot of debris coming in especially in the fall.
Living room, kitchen, bedrooms, hallways, blinds, dog bed! Two toddlers and 130lb dog, I love my house again and don’t mind the messes anymore
Living room, because thats where we are there the most.
Every room in the apartment
I would use the Dyson for every day cleaning in the kitchen, especially the nooks and crannies under my kitchen cupboards.
I would clean my entire house with this light and powerful Dyson V11 Absolute Pro. It would be especially great for carrying up and down stairs instead of pulling out my central vac!
I could finally clean the blinds with a vacuum instead of taking them down and scrubbing!
toddler+Mastiff+cat+messy husband+renovations+home business! Is that enough of a reason? Anything to help!
I would clean the Stairs, having a lightweight Dyson Stick Vac would be ideal for climbing up and down those stairs.
we have an older home, so keeping up with the cobwebs is a full time job!
My living room and kitchen, the places we spend most of the time in our house
This would work perfectly on my stairs!
All the rooms in this house.
The living room
I’d clean every room in my house, because this vacuum can last up to 60min!
All the rooms!
I would use it in my whole house I have two cats and a Newfoundland dog . A lot of hair everywhere .
I have 5 dogs. The spare room where their kennels are would be the ultimate initiation for a new vacuum lol
Id love the new Dyson to clean all rooms in my house. The room I would like to clean the most would actually be the living room at my fathers house. He has a small dog who leaves fur on the couch! every time I go wearing black pants I come home with fur on my tights. Id LOVE to give his couch a good Dyson vacuum. Not to mention the cob webs I have in the ceiling at the basement stairs! I LOVE DYSON
Living room, kids can be a little messy sometimes lol
My whole house, we have 4 dogs and 2 cats and lots of hair. Also 5 people living at home, have always wanted a Dyson!!
I would clean my bedrooms, family room and our basement could use a good deep cleaning.
My family room needs it the most, especially after my grandchildren visit! The V11 Absolute would make cleaning up after them so much easier!
I can’t think of a room in my house that wouldn’t benefit from this vacuum but I think it would be really helpful cleaning out our trucks.
