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

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.

I would have purchased a knock-off head, but the gentleman who performed the work of a hero and thoroughly explained why this was the better option led us to purchase this one instead for our V8. We are NOT disappointed! We had a knock-off motorhead previously, and it turned our Dyson into a glorified sweeper. I'm so happy to say that we do not have to replace our 4-year-old V8 just yet, and with a new battery, it's running as it should. I learned an important lesson re: value with this one. BUY IT. DO IT. And kick it up a bit by matching a new battery to the voltage of the newer motorhead if you're operating a V8.

Original replacement for a pricey vacuum. They are made with clearly the least amount of materials possible. Attempting to dismantle in order to clean, two of the four original's plastic screw holes broke with gentle handling!

Pricey piece. The original piece gave out at 24 months making a hard noise and intermittent sucking action. I ordered this, it arrived intact and works fine. Not as large in size as the original one, but does its intended purpose. Thank you Dyson and Amazon.

This torque head came with my vacuum from the factory. All of a sudden it stopped working. I had power from the contacts in the vacuum handle all the way through the extension, and them I tested it with the small electric carpet brush attachment, which did work. So why did main brush stop working? —Well guess what I bought this one on Amazon to replace it, then I vacuumed twice with it for only a few seconds a couple minutes apart, then it stopped working. It only worked for about five minutes. Piece of junk!! These Dyson vacuums are expensive but they are built like cheap plastic toys. I also have a separate issue with the dust bin not opening, I tried everything and it won’t work. Now I also have another issue with the battery, it’s not seating correctly, which by the way, the battery is connected with three very tiny metal screws that go thread into plastic, not even metal, what a genius design!! I decided to trash this junk vacuum, waste of $600 and had bought it in 2020. I will never buy another Dyson again. Absolute trash engineering!!

These can break easily but if it stops rolling it could be a battery/power or airflow problem. Just thought to share.

I have the dyson V11 Outsize & although this head is not as big as my original head it fits & works just as good. My order came fast & well packaged. It was definitely worth the risk of buying from a 3rd party vendor. Dyson has not had head replacement parts for years now for my V11 & I much rather spend $100 on this head then retire my Vacuum. This just put my V11 Outsize back in commission & I could be happier. Don't risk on Ebay when this is cheaper & free return if your not completely satisfied. Just know it is not the same size as the Outsize head. Which I knew when I bought it. Thanks to the supplier. Hope my review helps others take the leap.

Perfect! OEM and brand new, works wonderfully.

Bra pris, snabb leverans.

Fits as it should and works beautifully.

acheté en remplacement d'une ancienne brosse qui avait fait son temps ... produit de le marque cher certes mais efficace

Très très bonne brosse aspire avec puissance et de très bonne qualité

Very disappointed with this purchase, the item I received is faulty, the torque motor-head does not spin. It cost me another $58.00 to return the item via post. Not sure why would I/the buyer have to pay for the return postage when a faulty item provided. The local Dyson service Center also advised that there is no warranty or service available for any Dyson item or parts purchase through Amazon. Not recommend to buy this sorts of item from overseas suppliers.
