I waited forever to buy the cordless Dyson V11 Animal. I was so excited. And it has been very underwhelming. The floor vacuuming attachment is great, but as soon as you switch it to any handheld attachment, the suction… well, it sucks. And definitely not in the original definition of the word. Super disappointing for such an expensive piece of equipment. On the other hand, I have an older corded version, and it is still awesome after years of using it.
