Place #1 - Dyson V11 Absolute

All these accessories are quite enough for a complete cleaning of the room.

This miracle of technology is by no means cheap, but its functionality is at the highest level. Despite the recent appearance of this vacuum cleaner on the market, it was highly appreciated by users.

So, most owners like its portability, low noise level, simple controls and good suction power - in turbo mode it is 185 W.

Criteria for selecting a manual model

Handheld vacuum cleaners offered by the Dyson brand are quite expensive.In order not to be disappointed after the purchase and not to regret the money spent, it is worth carefully weighing all the pros and cons before acquiring such equipment.

When choosing a tidying assistant, be sure to consider a number of features. So, all models have different parameters. The features they have in common are autonomous operation, cyclone filter as a dust collector, compact size and modest weight. But the dimensions, volume of the dust container, operating time on one charge and other characteristics of each model are different. Therefore, we highlight the main selection criteria below.

Criterion #1 - suction power

If equipment is purchased for local cleaning in the house, then it is quite enough to take a device that is not too powerful. This option will cost a little less, but it will be enough for periodic cleaning.

More powerful models are preferred when a replacement for an outdated or faulty vacuum cleaner is needed.

Possessing significant suction power for a manual model, it is able to easily cope with heavy dirt. Even pet fur is not a problem for him.

Criterion #2 - battery life

The battery life of manual modifications ranges from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected mode. And in mode Turbo it does not exceed 10 minutes. When considering this parameter, you need to start from the tasks that need to be completed.

In addition, if you are the owner of an apartment with a large area, then you should opt for a device that works longer, so you can clean the room on one charge. Otherwise, you will have to charge the battery several times, and this is a rather lengthy process.

Criterion #3 - device dimensions

All Dyson handheld units are compact in size, the only difference is their weight, which ranges from 1.5 to 3.5 kg. They are convenient to store, since all modifications have a special wall mount designed for recharging and storage.

The dimensions of the device are one of its significant advantages. The thoughtfulness of the design simplifies the storage task. Even when assembled it does not take up much space

Criterion #4 - dust collector volume

Considering this characteristic, it is worth noting that the volume of the container should be selected depending on the tasks being put forward.

So, if the unit is purchased for regular cleaning of the house, then you should pay attention to models with a large container volume. But this parameter directly affects the weight - the larger it is, the heavier the structure.

The transparent waste collection container allows you to easily see the degree of contamination. And the simple cleaning procedure is a characteristic feature of all Dyson vacuum cleaners

Criterion #5 - number of attachments

The cost directly depends on the number of attachments included and the type of brushes.

If you believe user reviews, then in most cases, for complete cleaning, only two basic ones are enough - combined and crevice.

Among the variety of attachments you can even find those that can easily cope with dust on a cabinet or cornice

Criterion #6 - type of vacuum cleaner

Manual or combined? If the main goal is to clean up accidentally spilled cereal or periodically clean the interior of a car/sofa, then a hand-held device will be sufficient.

If you need regular cleaning of the house, then it is better to take a unit equipped with a pipe.Of course, they cost much more than manual modifications, but their functionality is much better.

Where a stationary vacuum cleaner would be powerless, a device from Dyson will easily cope with the task. Moreover, he is always ready to work

Taking into account all the above characteristics, you can choose a really good house helper who will simplify the cleaning process and will not irritate you with its size.
