The V11 Absolute is still a powerful cordless cleaner. It has great suction and some cool features. Its LCD screen shows how long you can vacuum on your current settings with remaining battery life and displays troubleshooting graphs in case something goes wrong.
The V11 has a maximum battery life of 60 minutes, which the d isplay should help you maximize. The battery takes 4.5 hours to charge, but the newer V11 models have the option of a swappable battery, which will allow you to double your cleaning time.
Opt for the Absolute over the Animal and you’ll also get the Torque head, which automatically detects the surface it’s cleaning and adjusts the suction accordingly.
In fact, the only problem with the V11 is its price, which has remained remarkably stable since its launch. It can still cost around £600/$600, which isn’t much less than the much newer, tech-packed V15 Detect. But it’s lighter than the newer flagships, which is a good reason to get one.
Buy it if: You want a great all-around cordless cleaner and you’ve found a great deal on this.
