A:AnswerHi Cheri, this is Kelly with Dyson. We know that battery run time is a very important aspect of performance for our owners, so we developed a trigger that helps maximize the amount of time you can clean on one charge. We chose a light-touch trigger over an on/off switch to ensure that battery life is never wasted by letting the machine run when it's not in active use.
Best wishes,
Kelly

A:AnswerSame. Got one lasted less than a year. Had to throw it away. Dyson gets better reviews than shark but I need a new one and I'm afraid to buy another one

A:AnswerI use Dyson V11 mainly for hardwood floors and can’s see any scratches. That’s perfect for animal hair. I also have Roomba that is more noisy than Dyson.
A:AnswerHello BJ, this is Kelly with Dyson. All of our cord-free machines have a trigger that does need to be engaged for the vacuum to run. There isn't a way to lock it into place, unfortunately.
Best wishes,

A:AnswerHi Norma, this is Kelly with Dyson. Typically, if the machine is asking you to change the filter and you just have, it's either not completely dry, or not refit properly. If you still have issues after allowing another 24 hours of dry time and refitting the filter, please feel free to email us directly for support as [email protected].
Best wishes,

A:AnswerHi Suzi, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson V11 Animal cord-free features our torque drive cleanerhead, as well as three suction levels. There is a spinning brush bar in the cleaner head, so you may wish to check with your carpeting manufacturer to see what their recommendation is, in terms of suction and use of a brush bar.
Best wishes,
Kelly
