It’s a little louder than comparable dyson robot vacuum models like the Samsung Jet 60 but won’t be disruptive for people in other rooms, though it can mask the sound of a nearby conversation. That said, it’s much louder when running in its ‘MAX’ mode, so don’t use the vacuum in this setting for long if you don’t want to disturb people nearby.

This Shark model is a little bulky for a handheld vacuum, but we think the extra-large dust bin makes it worth it. The attachments are what make this vacuum really shine, but there’s no included storage for them, so you’ll need to repurpose a box or bin to make sure you don’t lose them. Overall, our dyson robot vacuum tester said this vacuum’s performance was very impressive given its size and single suction setting. I was using a corded upright Dyson for about five years before getting this unit. Dyson is very powerful but the cord was not convenient when you have to keep plugging/unplugging from room to room.
We then started through the same rotation a second time and noted when each vacuum died. For both Sharks and the Dyson v10, we ran them on the low setting on the hardwoods and low pile carpet and the next highest setting on the medium pile carpet. The Dyson v11 has an auto sense feature that detects the type of surface it cleans and increases or decreases the suction accordingly so no toggling to different settings was needed.
