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!
Hi. This is going to be my go to,do it all vacuum.I am going to be using it to clean the broadloom in the basement the hardwood and area rugs on the main floor as well as the carpet and seats in the SUV .
Quality,power and versatility is what I am looking for and Dyson is said to possess all three.
Recreation room and hallways are the two toughest areas to keep clean.
I’d like to use it on my kitchen floor.
I would clean most of the rooms in the house now, although I believe the basement needs the most attention.
I would like to use the dyson for my whole house. Currently I am using an old heavy vacuum that is very hard to use and does not clean my house at all.
I would like to use the dyson for my whole house. Currently I am using an old heavy vacuum that is very hard to use and does not clean my house at all. I have to lug it up and down the stairs. It would be awesome to use the lighter dyson. Have heard really good things about it.
I like the fact to go from carpet to wood floors. I like that battery shows it’s charge on the handle. I also like the filter that just needs to be cleaned and spray and let it sit for 48 hours and then replace it into the top part of the handle section. The convenience is so awesome. I also like the smoothness of pressing a button to change to different nozzles. I have family members and friends that own a Dyson. I’m hoping I’ll be the next one by winning the contest. Here’s to hoping:)
Either way someone will be very happy on winning this product.

I sure could use this in the livingroom as my area rugs never seem clean with my current vacuum
I would clean my living room.
This is perfect for the garage, workshop and attic. They just seem to collect so much dirt. I just wish it drove itself!
Love to clean my condo’s 699 sq ft in a jiffy. Small but cozy…who could ask for anything more.
My living room and bedrooms
The living room and kitchen would be cleaned daily using the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro
Has to be the den and kitchen here.
The living room rugs are always getting dusty from the outside windows etc. The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro would be great.
I would be doing every room in my house with this. I would mostly look forward to doing the stairs, kitchen and livingroom!
oh man, my living room could so use this help, dyson!
I would clean the kitchen and living room using the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro.
I would definitely clean my basement. It’s my craft area so it needs this!
My livingroom and kitchen would be high priority as they are my dogs favourite rooms to lounge aka shed hair everywhere!
I would like to use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum to vacuum every square inch of my house. I live in Northern Quebec and it can get very dusty here (not many paved roads). I also have 2 pets that seem to shed every time of the year. I have been struggling with vintage vacuums that have been passed down to me and they are such a pain to lug up and down stairs, stay plugged in the wall, and maneuver around and under furniture. It sounds unbelieveable but winning this vacuum would change my life…maybe I might fall in love with housework again! LOL
I’d like it to clean my car.
all the rooms; especially bathroom and kitchen
for doorways
I would use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean my 3 bedrooms, area rug in the living room and the rec room in the basement.
I recently moved in to a new place and now I need a vacuum. This would be perfect to clean the living room
I would love to use the Dyson vacuum in my bedroom. There’s a corner blocked off by furniture that I currently can’t get my vacuum into but the Dyson, being lighter and cordless, would do the job nicely I’m sure!
I’d like to clean every room! But especially the thick carpet in my bedroom.
My place is all hard wood. This would be a great product that I could use in every room.
The kitchen and living room – the busiest rooms in my home.
Be perfect for doing the stairs being lighter and portable. Really where wouldn’t I use it and the best part it’s purple
love to clean the kitchen with this
I have a small bungalow so it’s compact size would allow me to keep it on the main floor and use in both bedrooms and the living room on a regular basis
I would use this Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean my apt. I am disabled and it would help me physically and get my air environment cleaner. My current vacuum is an older brand name, I would utilize it to cleane the drapes as well as the bed sheets .
It would be great for every room, but my small bedroom could benefit greatly 🙂
I would clean every room in my apartment with it!

I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAN ALL MY ROOMS WITH THIS!! my cat sheds everywhere!
Our brand new floors! And couch – we have a very hairy dog!
I would use this Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean my whole house! My current vacuum is an older brand name, but will NOT for the life of it, pick up stuff off my hardwood floors! I vacuum in stages, a day here, a day there, because it is just so frustrating! My house is an older house which we are fixing up a bit at a time, which means we have carpet and hardwood floors depending where we have already renovated. We even have carpet in our kitchen! Yikes! Who has carpet in there kitchens in this day and age! It’s a pretty shade of ugly green! That is our next room to do! So that all being said, I need a vacuum that will do multi floor surfaces. So the whole house it is!
All rooms-but mostly needed in living room
I have an open concept kitchen and living room, with one half being laminate and the other half carpeted, so seamlessly passing from one to the other with the V11 would be incredible! The sleek design is a plus as well!
All the rooms but especially the living room, the pups hang out there the most and it’s always loaded with dog hair.
I would clean my whole home and do the living room way more often with a Dyson V11 Absolute Pro!
Every room, especially under the beds and sofa. I have 4 dogs worth of hair under there. 🙁
i would use this for all my daily clean up chores around the house. dyson is the best
I would use the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro to clean my closet
I’d want to vacuum the living room oriental rug, where there is enough cat hair to create a new cat, if you have godly power!
