It is also good for sudden spills of dry ingredients.
I think they are expensive, mine was a gift from my son .
That's something that annoys me with the V11. If you have animals then you really need to use full power which means that the battery doesn't last very long. There's no way I could vacuum the whole house in one go, the advert however shows it working for around 60 minutes but it's more like 15.

I usually use it on medium power.
Using full power will naturally flatten the battery more quickly. I have used that after cutting and grinding glass as inevitably some small particles end up on the floor and I'd hate for the cats to get any in their paws, so I ensure that doesn't happen.
Although I don't use it, the low power setting would extend the battery life and, I suppose, could be used for areas with easily removed scraps.
As you say, if you have animals there could be more work involved. We have two cats who, fortunately, don't really shed any hair, or not that I've noticed anyway!
Then again, I suppose the use of the battery power depends on the size of your house!

Our cats do shed a LOT of hair which means that really we need to vac every day (we don't of course 
). That dust compartment fills up pretty quickly.
