A few words about the Dyson V10 and V11 first

The video review made by Vacuum Wars

Dyson V10

With a big dustbin, the cleaner can hold more debris which is good for pet owners. It is also great at resisting hair tangling so if you have long hair, the V10 is a good buy. The Dyson V10 generates enough power to provide deep cleaning on a carpeted surface even on medium power settings.

With a battery life of up to 60 minutes on one charge, the Dyson V10 is suitable for bigger homes. The Absolute version comes with two main cleaning heads for hard floors and carpets which makes the cleaner ideal for both surfaces.

Dyson V11

The Dyson V11 is equipped with a display that shows an estimated battery level and allows switching between three cleaning modes. Another smart feature is a floor detection sensor that boosts up suction power on a carpeted surface saving battery energy this way.

On max settings, the Dyson V11 delivers 185 AW. Aside from the display, more suction, and floor detection, the Dyson V11 provides longer cleaning even with a motorized brush and is quieter than the V10. In the US, the Dyson V11 Absolute is not on sale yet you can get a soft roller separately.

Other than that, the Dyson V11 has the same design, same dustbin size, charging dock, and filtration system as the previous V10. Our Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners comparison chart explains the differences between the model line.

Dyson V10 vs. V11

• The V11 modifications do not come with a soft roller in the US. The V10 Absolute does have one.
• The latest model has more power.
• A smart display shows additional info.
• The V11 automatically increases suction on carpet which makes the battery life more efficient.
• The latest model lasts longer.
• Noise. The V11 is quieter even tho it has stronger suction.

To sum up

The Dyson V10 is a great device and has the best value in terms of cleaning performance and price. It is probably better for hard floors mostly as you can get the Absolute version. 

The Dyson V11 is when the good became better. With an additional display, more suction, reduced noise, it is one of the best cleaners on the market so far. Since it only comes with a Torque Drive head which is better for carpets, the V11 is the best option for homes covered with carpets.

Dreame T30

The Dreame T30 is the latest and most powerful machine in the lineup. A large battery provides up to 90 minutes of runtime on low power which is way above average for a cordless vacuum.

Unlike Dyson, the Dreame's battery is detachable so you can buy another one if you live in a big house. To store the vacuum, there is a wall-mount dock. The Dreame T30 is lightweight, maybe one of the lightest cleaners on the market.

With a HEPA filter, the T30 is safe for allergy-sufferers

Tineco PURE ONE S12

The Tineco PURE ONE S12 has an advanced version - Tineco PURE ONE S12 Plus. The difference between them is the additional soft roller brush that comes in the box with the PLUS version.

By using the manual mode you adjust suction power depending on cleaning tasks. Unlike Dyson which requires holding the power button as you clean, the Tineco has a power lock.

The S12, as well as the other PURE ONE models, has the iLoop Dust Sensor that recognizes big messes and automatically boosts suction thus making the battery more efficient.

The Tineco can be connected to the app that lets you know about everything that's going on with the cleaner.

Shark IZ462H Vertex DuoClean

The Shark IZ462H Vertex DuoClean is the premium cordless Shark cleaner. It is capable of deep carpet cleaning but would not be suitable for high-pile carpets. Since it is more budget than a Dyson, it does not have the same suction yet it is much better at resisting hair tangles.

Sealed filtration traps all dust inside the vacuum making it safe for allergy sufferers

It has DuoClean technology which means its brush is a duo of soft-roller and anti-tangle agitating brush. This combination provides the best pick-up ability on both surfaces.

The Vertex has a sealed HEPA filtration system that is safe for allergy sufferers. That means dust and pollens stay inside the vacuum so you don't breathe them in.

The new anti-tangle brushroll is perfect at resisting hair tangling. In fact, one of the best on the market. The head has LED lights to track dust and dirt in dark areas unlike Dyson's heads that lack LED lights.

Roborock H7

The Roborock H7 is the upgraded version of the H6. While the Tineco's battery gives you about 50 minutes per one unit, the Roborock's battery is built-in and lasts up to 90 minutes. The downside is you can't get a second battery.

Along with the big battery, this machine is lightweight and also has plenty of suction. Also, the H7 has sensors that are able to recognize carpeted surfaces which saves battery life making cleaning more efficient.

The Roborock H7 is lighweight and one of the longest-lasting cleaners on the market

The Roborock H7 performs well on low-pile and high-pile carpets also does a superb job on hard floors. The cleaner has a display that shows the remaining battery level, cleaning modes, and more. Overall, it is a decent premium vacuum cleaner that is smarter and lasting longer than another high-end model, the Dyson V10.

If you want to get a lightweight suitable for big houses cordless vacuum, have a look at the Roborock H6 ($345.59 on Amazon).
