Dyson V11 Absolute: A super dust buster

The mini motorised attachment is handy for dusting the car and other small spaces.

My rag rug is pretty to look at but a chore to clean. My corded ­vacuum cleaner doesn’t do a ­thorough enough job, and my robot vacuum cleaner ends up strangled by the rags.

So, it was the first item I cleaned when I got the Dyson V11 Absolute, which promises 20% more suction power than its predecessor, the V10. Because I don’t own a V10, I had no way of comparing between models, but what I could see was the huge amount of dust and hair that ­quickly accumulated in the bin.
