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!
I would love to use this in my kitchen/living room! My condo put these rooms together in an open concept so there are crumbs from the kitchen everywhere! I would love to switch up my current sweeping routine for this.
I would love a Dyson for my hallway! It always gets so dirty!
the great room ….
I’d clean the rec room!
I’d clean the whole house — why not!
I would definitely use this vacuum in my entire home but my entrance could use it the most!
I would definitely use this vacuum in my entire home. Though my entrance could use it the most!
My wife would love for me to clean the kitchen, dining, and living room areas of our house.
We’d use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean…well….every room. But mostly the bedroom and living room I think
I could use this in our entire home , the vacuum I have now does not have enough suction power to adequately clean our floors and especially carpet areas.
My boat
My living room!!!
living room for sure
I would use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean our kitchen and living room.
I would definitely use this under the kitchen table with our two kids!
I’ve had severe neck and back problems since a car accident 5 years ago including a nerve injury to my dominant arm. Having this lightweight and cordless vacuum would provide a great benefit to myself and my petite partner who struggles with the majority of chores, especially dragging the vacuum up a flight of 23 stairs then another 15. It would also allow me to contribute more to the household duties.
Please choose us! It would truly be a godsend.
Rec room
i love the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum. it,s powerfull.
All the rooms need to be done but my bedroom the most. I love feeling the carpet under my feet when I wake up. This vacuum would make sure I do not feel dirt or debris instead of the soft fibres.
Definitely my sunroom. It’s where everyone, including the dogs, gathers for family nights! With kids and dogs this room sees a lot of crumbs, messes and dog hair!
I’d clean my Mom’s house for her then leave it with her. She had a bad fall and had to have her elbow reconstructed. She needs a lightweight cordless vacuum to get the job done. Her Dyson is quite old now and won’t hold a charge.
Everywhere!!
Family room then all other rooms.
My office were the cat spends most of the day!
my entrance
Our kitchen and living room are heavily trafficked areas with a cat and a toddler and an infant who is starting solids a.k.a. plenty of crumbs!
I would love to clean my living room and staircase with the Dyson absolute pro. I love that it is cordless, right now I use a shop vac because it’s all we have. It would beat lugging that thing around on the stairs!
I’d like to use this vacuum on the entire house, but most particularly in the living room and kitchen. I’m in need of a new vacuum; the previous one broke after 13 years and this Dyson would be more convenient than the temporary shop-vac I’m using.
I would like to clean my bedroom, living room, hallway, dining room and kitchen.
Our kitchen seems more like a “crumbs”kin! Ahah I have two little kiddos that seem to leave a trail everywhere but especially in the kitchen, so this vacuum would be absolutely wonderful to help clean my “crumbs”kin! Thanks for the chance to win.
This thing can help with cleaning every room and then some!
I will use it every day but promoted to all of my family members and friends and Facebook haha
It will be the moment I will do finally the clean up with a big smile and happy 🙂
Bedrooms, Stairs, and Living Rooms. Pretty much anywhere there’s carpet. I have pretty bad allergies so I need something that can give a good deep clean and reach those tight spaces.
OMG I’d love to try this sexy lil Dyson in every room, in my car and in my camper! But it would really be great at sucking the crumbs out from between the cushions where my puppy eats her treats!
Our Mudroom, Living Room, Dinning Room & stairs all need a good Dyson cleaning. Thank you for this chance to win!
The Kitchen. Seems like the vacuum gets pulled out on the hour.
The room that I would love to be able to clean properly is the aptly named mudroom, a 6 by 10 room containing a freezer, coat-racks, and various storage containers. Dragging a heavy corded vacuum down the narrow room is tricky at best.
The kitchen
All rooms
Every single room!
This would be the best especially for the stairs and bedrooms
I would use it in all the rooms especially the bedrooms to get under the beds.
We’re just moving into a new place, which will have a second bedroom, for our cat. I would love to clean that room with a Dyson!
I would love to use this vacuum for all of the rooms in my appartment. I have two dogs and two cats. I need something that works at picking up all the hair and junk laying around. 🙂
I would love to clean the stairs and hallways with the cordless Dyson V11.
Bedroom, under the bed is scary dusty
I would use it in my kitchen and laundry room areas for quick clean ups instead of sweeping.
The rooms in your home I’d like to clean using the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro are my bedroom and living room! Thank you thank you thank you!
Every. Single. Room. We have a cat and the hair gets everywhere….
Literally … all of them
But especially the living room. Which has a shag rug. Which has been begging for a dyson to run across it to restore it to its former glory.
I have a big heavy clunky upright that I had for many years. I always dreaded the carpeted stairs so that would be my first area of trial. Next would be under the beds in all the bedrooms because they need some attention. It would be so convenient not having to move the beds to get under. Thanks for this generous chance Best Buy my fingers are crossed!
