Dyson V 11 cordless vac for my mum. It's a surprise for when she gets home from work, so I hope she likes it.
She has this cheap corded vac at the moment that she hates. It's heavy as hell, and because it's corded and we don't have a driveway it's a PITA for using it to clean the car and such which mum likes to do quite a lot. All our house rooms are small too, and a big heavy corded vac just doesn't work very well. Have to unplug and replug it every few minutes as you move rooms.
So yeah she has been wanting a cordless Dyson vac for ages, but noway she can afford one. Dyson has this kind of 50/50 reputation where people both love and hate them. But I did a bit of research, and the Dyson V11 has the most powerful cordless vac out there, and even though it is plasticy and some people say breaks easily (though it still gets 4.5/5 overall on Amazon), it seems nicely designed for the most part. It has a 2 year warranty, and Dyson will come out and fix anything and everything for a £89 charge. So overall it seemed like the right choice. Plus to be honest, my mum is super into brands and image, and all the vloggers she loves use Dysons, so it's as much about that to her as how good it actually is
