You don't "need" the fluffy heading with any vacuum, as the multi-surface cleaning head can be used on all floor types. However, it's definitely a nice to have, especially if you have mostly hard surfaces. And you are correct, V8 Animal does not include the fluffy. Given its age, I wouldn't buy the V8. While the V11 may be a bit overkill, especially since it doesn't include the soft roller head, the V10 Absolute does. Given your needs I would suggest the V10 Absolute for you - amzn.to/3mDeF3k

I am contemplating either the V11 or V8. I had one of the original Dyson upright vacuum cleaners which finally died on me after 15+ years. I have some hard floors and 4 carpeted bedrooms. I live in an area with a lot of dust and sand. Which model would you recommend that will really suck the dust out of the carpets?

Go with the V11. It's such a massive improvement over the V8, it's really hard to recommend the V8 or anything older any more. V11 has a longer run time, more suction, a larger bin, better usability features, and just in general is a massively improved machine. Given how well you seem to take care of your vacuums (in that your last one lasted 15 years), I think it's a no brainer that the V11 is the right choice for you. V11 link here - amzn.to/37psw6S

Both have a 2 year warranty. As far as longevity goes, we just don't have enough time elapsed on the V11 to really say. We bought it when it launched in March 2019, thus far it's still working great, no obvious signs of deterioration. Regarding the V8, the one we frequently test in our videos is borrowed from a friend of Modern Castle. The friends we borrow it from use it as their day to day vacuum and have had it for 3 years. Overall, they love it, it continues to work great, and no issues with the battery. If we see any longevity issues come up I'll be sure to make a post on our website and probably updates here also.

I’m a Dyson sales rep. Speaking as an individual (not as Dyson) my experience has been that the v11 has been the most reliable cord-free vacuum model by far. a lot of changes were made after the v10 which has made the vacuum much more reliable and easier to repair if necessary. I have never seen a v11 battery go blank in my years in the role, the only problem I have has is the trigger spring being dislodged on machines that have had repeated hard drops. This part is independently replaceable though so quite easily fixed by Dyson.

Awesome! Just bought a V8 for $179.99 with a big sale and coupon on ebay!! I have been looking at the v11 Outsize but just have been holding out on the convenience. Decided to pull the trigger. If anything the v8 will make a great garage vacuum to quickly clean out the car if id like to graduate to something pricer in the future. the v11 will eventually be the full house vacuum. I live in a small place now just thinking about the future!

Can the new torque drive cleaning head that comes with the V11 be purchased as an accessory for the V8?

@ModernCastle

4 жыл бұрын

In theory, yes. They use the same connector, so it will run. However, my feeling is that the V8 isn't powerful enough to properly and fully drive the V11 cleaning head due to the difference in their motor performance.

I got V8 type Dyson vacuum that I have had for years. Once I replaced the battery. The bin is more difficult to empty and when it's worn it can open while cleaning dumbing all the dirt on the floor. Also the battery life is not sufficient for larger homes. I don't want to use a corded vacuums anymore. So I am looking forward to gettin a V11 or newer. More battery life, larger bin, easier bin to empty, new and better heads are all reasons to switch to the bigger size.

Amazing the way you have described everything😊

I was wondering if you can answer wish one (between this 2 models or any dyson model) has the best rolling suction for hair. Like is any of those able to not get the hair stuck between the brushes? That’s my problem with all my vacuums, since we are 5 woman’s in the house there’s a lot of hair on the floor all the time and it get stuck on my vacuum rolls.

@ModernCastle

In my experience, every vacuum with a brushroll is going to eventually tangle hair...it's just how much and when. As far as Dyson goes, in general, they do a really nice job of prolonging your time before you'll see a tangle. With only my wife in our home, our Dyson's don't get put to the same test as your house will be with 5 women. That said, the Dyson V11 is going to do better than the V8 due to the larger and more advanced brushroll, in addition to more suction. I would say it is arguably the best brushroll Dyson makes.

Great

I spoke with Dyson UK and they offer the V11 absolute. Said they will probably offer it in the states soon enough but that the fluffy roller head from the V10 is the same roller they offer for the V11 absolute. You don't get the auto power sensor like you do with the torque drive but you don't even get that with the V11 absolute fluffy head.

Yes, the V11's cleaner head will fit the V8. And while it will improve performance compared to the stock V8 cleaner head, it will not yield the same performance as the V11 simply due to the differences in suction power between the 2 models.

We have the V6, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Our V6 battery died within 2.5 years. V7 battery is still going strong at 3.5 years. V8 battery died at 2.5 years, but I think it died because I dropped it off a counter while testing it. V10 battery still going strong at 2.5 years. V11 battery still going strong at 1.5 years. Replacement is pretty easy. You just need a screw driver. Takes about 2 minutes. Unscrew it, battery falls out, pop in a new one. You can find replacement batteries here - amzn.to/3eilNil

Why doesn't anyone talk about the dust bin, the newer model you always have to take off the attachments to empty the bin. SOOOOOOOOOO annoying. The older model you can keep your attachments and still empty! Grrr.

At least for me, I always took the wand / cleaner head off of the old versions also. I found it cumbersome to try and empty the dust bin on the V8 / V7 / V6 while you had this huge weight at the end. Plus, I try to put the bin deeper into the trash can so dust won't escape (something that's harder if you have attachments on). If it was in handheld mode it wouldn't be that big of an issue. In any case, I just didn't find it annoying.

Check out the LG CordZero A9 Ultimiate - amzn.to/3bKQds1 It has a similar feature set and performance to Dyson, but without a trigger mechanism (you just press a button to start and stop). You can also find our review here - moderncastle.com/lg-cordzero-a9-kompressor-review/

you switched sides in the comparison and didn't use same media wtf the v8 didn't throw rice

V11 Absolute is great, the only fault with it is its price. I have one and are happy with it.

Bite deutsch,

Bro. Why would you not do the comparison on the same trim. Your using the v8 absolute, yet using the v11 torque drive. The v11 absolute has been out almost a year before you posted this video in January. And with the v11 absolute you get the fluffy cleaning head, which is even upgraded compared to the v10 absolute ect. This is a dumb comparison in the fact that both the same trims were out for each model your testing, yet your using one of the lower trims for the newest.. makes no sense lol.

We are a US based website and KZread channel. So we buy products available in the US (for the most part). V11 Absolute is not available in the US. V11 Torque Drive is the top end model here. So that's why we use the Torque Drive and not the Absolute (which is only available in a limited number of countries).

@@TheKingOfKings818 I'm looking at the US Amazon site's search results for "Dyson V11 Absolute" right now, and the first result is "Dyson V11 Torque Drive", while the 2nd result is "Dyson V10 Absolute." The V11 Absolute is not shown. So I'm going to have to go with Modern Castle here.

@@ModernCastle Well no problem . thanks for your reply

In my opinion, Dyson ruined the V8 and others with that extended swivel neck that is now attached to the roller/head. This prevents 'side vacuuming' in odd or narrow spaces as the 'neck' now needs to fit into these spaces along with the head/roller. It also creates this awkward navigation on certain floors and spaces as demonstrated in this video. I wish it was designed to use it the old way with a push of a button or position click. A downgrade for people with lots of furniture or small spaces. Also, the V8 does not have a removable battery, therefore it's non-replaceable. I don't know why this is almost never mentioned in review and comparison videos. Anyone whose ever owned a Dyson knows that the vacuum will usually outlive the battery. If the battery is not replaceable, do you just toss the vacuum? I replaced my 2016's battery twice and just gave this old but still chugging Dyson to a family member. Lastly, there should be an option to have the trigger hold in an on position as the new V8's design causes rapid hand fatigue as the plastic below the trigger digs into the hand.

For the record, the V8 battery is removable and replacable. It's not a click in / click out battery, but you can remove it in about 60 seconds with a screw driver. www.amazon.com/s?k=dyson+trigger+lock&crid=36EZ7JN8Q0O3T&geniuslink=true&sprefix=dyson+trigger+lock%2Caps%2C145&tag=mc_1001-20&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 - Check this out if you want a Dyson trigger lock for your V8.
