Lydsto V11H: An Affordable Upright Vacuum Cleaner from Xiaomi

The Lydsto V11H cordless stick vacuum cleaner, priced at around $150, features a powerful motor delivering up to 25 kPa of suction, an informative display, a lighted cleaning area, and two included attachments. Overall, it's a decent choice for this price range. Below, I'll thoroughly test the Lydsto V11H, highlight its pros and cons, and then offer my opinion on whether it's worth buying. Let's get started!

Equipment

The Lydsto V11H arrived in this branded box:

The package includes:

1. Main block.
2. Removable battery.
3. Extension tube.
4. Basic floor nozzle.
5. Crevice nozzle.
6. Charger.
7. Wall holder with fasteners.
8. Operating instructions.

The main drawback is the lack of an upholstery cleaning attachment. There's also no replaceable roller with soft, fluffy bristles for cleaning hard floors. But that's not a big deal. Let's move on!

Appearance

Let's take a look at the Lydsto V11H's design. Let's start with the main unit. It's white. The buttons are highlighted in red, making it intuitive to use. An informative display is located on the end. It shows the power level, battery charge, and service messages.

The vacuum cleaner turns on and off by pressing the trigger button. You don't need to hold it down. The button on the display adjusts the power. There are three levels: low, medium, and high. Below the display is a button to empty the dust bin. Press it, and the bottom opens, allowing the dust to fall out. A very convenient feature!

The battery is removable, which is a plus. It also has a charging port. The dust container is also removable, which is great! It contains a HEPA filter, a cyclone, and a mesh. In total, there are three visible filtration stages.

Let's take a look at the included attachments. The main floor nozzle features fairly large wheels and a swivel joint. The roller has short, flexible bristles. This type of roller is effective on carpets and has also proven itself effective on hard surfaces. The front features LED lighting to highlight the cleaning area—another advantage of the Lydsto V11H.

For those interested in the height of the attachment, the front part is about 6 cm high, but at the highest point the height reaches 6.5 cm.

A slightly improved crevice tool with retractable bristles.

All accessories are connected using mechanical fasteners. The vacuum cleaner's build quality is above average, very good for its price. Here's what the vacuum cleaner looks like when fully assembled:

Vertical parking outside the holder is not possible. This is also worth considering.

Technical specifications

The main characteristics of Lydsto V11H, as declared by the manufacturer:

• Power consumption 430 W.
• Suction power up to 25 kPa (up to 150 aW).
• Li-Ion battery 2500 mAh.
• Dust collector 600 ml.
• Operating time 7.5-62 min.
• Charging time up to 4 hours.
• Noise level 75-81 dB.
• Weight when fully assembled: 2.7 kg.

The specifications are quite standard for this price segment. Actual battery life will be verified in tests. The noise level was personally tested and, depending on the operating mode, it ranged from 75 to 81 dB, which is slightly above average compared to similar devices.

The main unit weighs 1,640 grams, the extension tube weighs 246 grams, and the main floor nozzle weighs 791 grams. The fully assembled vacuum weighs 2,677 grams, which is again comparable to similar vacuum cleaners.

Testing

A detailed video review of the Lydsto V11H, including all tests, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Opening hours

And finally, let's move on to the tests. First, let's check the Lydsto V11H's battery life in Turbo mode with the main floor nozzle attached. It managed 12 minutes and 47 seconds of runtime, which is a pretty standard result.

Suction power

As for suction power, at minimum power, it was able to suck up debris from crevices up to 6 mm deep. And at medium power, the vacuum cleaner managed to completely clean the stand, even in 10 mm crevices. The suction power is average and sufficient for household use.

Collecting debris on laminate flooring

Now let's test how well the Lydsto V11H picks up floor debris. I scattered various types of debris on the laminate flooring: hair, fur, grains, and other small household debris. This machine performed well.

It's important to note that it has no problem picking up debris along baseboards and in corners. It picks everything up thoroughly. The roller barely picks up any hair or fur. All debris is collected in the dust bin. Test passed!

Carpet cleaning

The same debris was scattered on the carpet, and the Lydsto V11H also did a good job cleaning the carpet. This is thanks to the roller's structure, which is specifically suited for cleaning carpets.

Crevice tool

And thanks to the crevice tool, you can clean hard-to-reach places, for example, clean the joints between sofa sections, or vacuum under furniture.

Cleaning the dust collector

Finally, I'll tell you how to clean the dust bin. Press the button, and all the debris falls out through the bottom. Hair and fur can get stuck in the bin. In this case, you can completely remove the dust bin, remove the filtration system, and empty the bin completely, even washing it if needed. Very convenient.

Personal opinion

The Lydsto V11H cordless stick vacuum cleaner was thoroughly reviewed and tested. Based on my experience with it and testing it, I can highlight the following pros and cons.

I liked the following:

1. High-quality waste collection on any surface.
2. Illumination of the cleaning area.
3. Informative display on the body.
4. Removable battery.
5. The dust container is very conveniently emptied. Pressing a button eliminates hand contact with debris.
6. Convenient one-hand control.
7. Optimal price.
8. Availability of warranty and service.

Speaking of disadvantages, I didn’t like the following:

1. Vertical parking is not provided.
2. There is no turbo brush attachment for cleaning upholstered furniture.
3. There is no wireless charging on the wall mount.

Ultimately, I can say that for the price, this is a perfectly reasonable option. There aren't many good cordless vacuum cleaners from well-known brands available for under $150. Lydsto, after all, is a Xiaomi sub-brand, and the build quality of all its products is clearly above average, even better than that of most Russian-Chinese manufacturers. It's affordable, convenient, well-designed, and has demonstrated excellent dust collection. What more could you want?

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping. Bye!
