DysonHigh Torque Brush Head for Dyson V11 Models (for V11 Models) 970100-05

Excellent ! No problems with installing and use. Glad I went with Dyson part for my torque 11 and didn’t risk it with a cheaper brand.

We have both a Dyson V8 and V10 for different locations. Each has its advantages. All the attachments we have used are completely interchangeable. One of the motor heads broke and although it had probably been used back and forth between the two vacuums I was able to determine it was the older V8's unit. So it had a reasonably long life span. I tried to fix it but Dyson makes this very difficult and as most of you know, replacements parts are absurdly expensive.I called Dyson and was told the replacement parts are out of stock and they did not know when (or if) they would be available again. The Dyson sales person offered no alternative. This did not give me a lot of confidence about buying Dyson products in the future. However, Amazon has plenty of these replacement parts available and it became a matter of determining which one to get. (Dyson makes your head spin with many different part numbers for what seems like the same part and never specifies any distinction.)After spending quite a bit of time researching online I decided the "high torque" motorhead from the V11 would fit my vacuums and perhaps be an upgrade. Since the price was pretty much the same as the older parts it seemed like a no-brainer, particularly with Amazon's great return policy. My only concern was reading reviews saying people received small motorheads, something I most certainly did not want.My package arrived the next day in a box labeled as a Dyson original part #: 970100-05. Inside was exactly the part I hoped for, the same width as the original V10 (and V8) motorhead. It was not labeled "high torque" as some photos show but had the 3-position switch on the front that controls airflow. When looking at the label with the tiny print on the back I found what I believe to be the most important difference between the regular and high torque model. On my V10 (and V8) cleaner heads the label notes the voltage as 16.2 VDC and the wattage as 50. (There is no English head so I'm providing an educated guess on what the numbers means.)On the new model being reviewed here the volt and watt numbers are 17.2 and 100, respectively. So the new head has double the wattage.The new unit has a different color roller brush (same dimensions) and also a rubberized cover on the back rather than the more open area when dirt and debris gets stuck. To my ears the new one seems to run very slightly quieter and the switch intended for different surfaces makes a significant difference in how the motorhead operates depending on whether it's cleaning hard floors, carpets, etc.Overall I am very happy with this purchase in every area except for Dyson's excessive pricing. Still, I paid about $25 less on Amazon than Dyson charges directly and received my item far more quickly.

My Dyson which is almost 5 years old had a problem where the bottom part wouldn't work anymore. I looked up the item number and was happy to find that Dyson sold parts on Amazon since I really didn't want to buy a new Dyson yet. The rest of the Dyson works fine and this new part is brand new and works perfectly plus you can't beat next day shipping.

Exactly what I wanted and ordered and showed up a day early!

Absolutely pitiful! My dyson v7, which i use on my brick pool deck, has a higher build quality. The v11 is guaranteed to break, especially the cheaply constructed vacuum head. Cheap plastic wheels in a disc shape, have broken off on every head I've purchased. The dust canister is made poorly and breaks with ease. I see why the v11 was discontinued.I will never buy another dyson again! Truly pathetic!

I rated this 4 stars because of the fact that the original needed replacement. Dyson products are innovative and work well, but the build quality is somewhat lacking. A lot of plastic pieces that break over time and hardware that backs out and gets lost.

Perfect Replacement part. I am back like brand new!

We have been very happy with our Dyson vacuum. The suction is great. It isn't too heavy. It really picks up the dirt and cat hair. After using it for several years, we broke something on the old motorhead. We thought we needed to buy a whole new vacuum, but then figured out we could just buy the motorhead part. This saved a lot of $$ over buying a new vacuum. The replacement part fit perfectly, and it is like we have a new vacuum without the cost. Our old vacuum works like new with the new part!
