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.

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

Great replacement

Good Quality Product

We purchased this OEM replacement head for our V11 in the beginning of April. Then, the brush stopped working May 7th. I went to return this Item today, May 17th after trying to fix it using the steps outlined on the Dyson website and found out that you only have a 30 day window to return this Item through Amazon. I reached out to Dyson directly and was advised that this product does not qualify for a Dyson warranty. I personally do not agree with their position as I purchased the item though the Dyson online store on Amazon. We have owned many Dysons over the years because of the quality of their product. However, after this experience and Dyson not standing behind their product, we will be looking for another comparable brand in the future.

Works great and more reasonable than the one from Dyson.

When I opened the box, I noticed the brush head did not say High Torque. It only had the word Dyson. Everything else about the brush head looked exactly like my old High Torque brush head. The label on the box had the correct Dyson part number for the High Torque brush head and the label also showed the part came from Dyson. I used it and it works well. Even though it does not say High Torque, my opinion is it is the High Torque brush head. A little deceiving that the words High Torque are not on the brush head.

This is Dyson made so it is excellent.
