Having a larger floorhead and a swappable battery are good improvements but adding to the weight and the bulk is gonna make it difficult to use as a handheld.
I would like to see a more compact bin like I think they did on the V10 think it was the motorhead model? Yes you will have to empty the bin more often but it is lighter and less bulky. If you do your cleaning in bite size amounts say your living room one day and your bedroom another the emptying won't be so bad. I'd rather that than the extra bulk and weight | ||

Recently, I caught the spiel on QVC for the Dyson handheld. They talk constantly about how it's a replacement for a full size vacuum, and that the hand held model is "all you need". For a good number of folks, especially those with a home having all hard wood floors, it would be ok. But if you have wall to wall, like I do, it would be a terrible choice.
I had carpal tunnel surgery two years ago, and I certainly don't need anything that heavy to hold. Also, holding the trigger the entire time would just be too much. With two big dogs, I use my attachments all the time. This Dyson would make that too difficult - I think the tools were designed to help sell the machine but most people won't use them. When Maytag and Tacony parted ways, there were at least a hundred M600 battery uprights that we had to give away as donations, etc. We took the serial numbers off since they were free and would have no warranty. I took one home, and am still using it. While it's not the best carpet cleaning upright, it does better at cleaning rugs than anything else I've used that runs on a battery. And it holds a lot of dirt. | ||

 Size and weight is getting ridiculous on the new V11. Dyson has lost their minds with this. I like the wider cleaning head and removable battery, but come on Dyson. It's a stick vacuum and they need to be light. They really need to place the vacuum unit much lower position next to the cleaning head. Better option would be compact cordless upright if they want to make the bin bigger. I personally hate using stick vacuums long period of time. It gets tiring for the forearm. And what Dyson does is keep making them bigger. | ||

@ Vacuumdevil: I’m hoping that YOU get your hands on a cordless Lindhaus soon. Looking forward to your review..... | ||

I’ve got last year’s V11 and it’s OK for a “daily driver” for me, but I bought a Rainbow to do my real weekly cleanings. The V11 doesn’t deep clean very well in my experience, but it helps keep cat hair swept up. | ||

The vacuums have no agitation or suction - so they will always fail at anything beyond an area rug. (Whatever happened to "it beats as it sweeps as it cleans"?)
Remember when they made hose extensions for the classic battery powered dustbusters? Same thing here. Tiny motor working hard to go through a long several foot long tube, through a dust cup, and then through a nozzle head where it also has to spin the brush. It is gonna lose a lot of suction. I pieced together a very early Dyson v series stick vac from spare parts on eBay one by one (I would never buy a new one and can't afford to anyway), and I cannot believe who buys these and thinks it replaces an upright. Heck my 1980's Riccar upright trounces this thing tenfold. | ||

The V11 was enough when I lived in a 600sq ft apartment and had no pets. I agree circumstances will determine if it can replace a corded vacuum. | ||
