Pros
  • On the whole, owners posting to user-review sites are very happy with the Dyson DC11 All Floors Telescope canister vacuum cleaner. It does an especially nice job on bare floors and has good retention of allergens.
Cons
  • Expert testers criticize the Dyson DC11 canister vacuum as heavy, noisy, not good at picking up pet hair and unreliable. One owner has quibbles about a short power cord and a wand that collapses unexpectedly.

Owners seem to be much more enthusiastic about the Dyson DC11 All Floors Telescope than other types of reviewers. Most users love this vacuum, but in more scientific testing, expert testers say the Dyson DC11 Telescope is heavy, noisy, not great at picking up pet hair and has reliability issues. However, reviewers agree it does a great job on bare floors and has low emissions.

The best review of the Dyson DC11 All Floors Telescope canister vacuum is a write-up by the British consumer publication Which.co.uk, which has an excellent reputation for testing products. We also found a fair number of posts from owners of the DC11 at Amazon.com and Epinions. Oddly, while Consumer Reports includes a few Dyson vacuums in its roundup of upright vacuum cleaners, it has yet to try out the Dyson All Floors Telescope canister vacuum.
