“A full-size cleaning foot and 18 cyclones of air make this cordless stick vac clean like no other.”

Expensive, Dosen't have self-cleaning filters

The Dyson V11 Outsize is exactly what it sounds like. It’s bigger than any other Dyson cordless vacuum on the market, and at $800, it’s more expensive than the other front-runners in the cordless vacuum category. Do its size and capabilities justify the price? Here’s what we liked, and what we didn’t like, about this hefty cordless. Think of the Outsize as the bigger little brother of the Dyson V11 Torque Drive. The Outsize has most of the same features as the Torque, it’s just larger. The bin is 150% bigger, making it the same size as a bin you would find on a corded vacuum, which is great because you don’t need to empty it as often. The cleaner head is 25% bigger, too, making it just as big as those on most upright vacuums. Somehow, Dyson was able to add on these extra features and end up making the Outsize only less than a pound heavier than the V11 Torque Drive. This means that it weighs 7.85 pounds total, a little heavier than its biggest competitor, the Tineco Pure One S12, which...

Still easy to use despite larger bin and battery which adds weight, easy to swap batteries too

The mountable wall dock can't charge both the vacuum and an extra battery at the same time.

Previous Dyson V-series vacuums need little introduction. Their popularity in spite of their premium price-tag says it all. If you’ve not had the pleasure, the short version is that they’re expensive, but they’re usually worth it.

The Dyson V11 Outsize is expensive and overkill but that’s okay.

Avg. consumer rating = 94/100 The Dyson V11 Outsize is essentially a normal V11 on steroids. It has a bigger cleaner head, more cyclones, a larger dust bin, and one version of the Outsize comes with 2 batteries.

While this new Dyson V11 Outsize bears a striking family resemblance to its V10 Absolute cousin below, it has some significant updates that are worth considering if you have a large home with expansive floor surfaces to clean. Most obvious are its extra wide cleaning head and extra large dust bin.

The Outsize model in Dyson’s V11 range lives up to its name with a bigger cleaning head and more space to hold dust and dirt

Larger High Torque head is more efficient, Long battery life in Economy mode, Great range of accessories included

Very expensive, Heavier than other V11 models, Bulk makes it less manoeuvrable

A bigger version of the excellent V11, the Dyson V11 Outsize makes tackling larger homes easier with its big bin and extra-wide floor head. It's the most effective vacuum cleaner, with unrivalled power even on lower settings. Great battery life and a removable battery mean that this is one cleaner that can use instead of a plug-in model. You get every accessory you could possibly need, although the extension hose is a little tricky to use. If you need the biggest and best cordless cleaner, this is it.

Hose is fiddly to use; Expensive;

Despite its bulkiness and weight, the Dyson V11 Outsize is an excellent carpet cleaning vacuum with usable power even in the lower settings. Ergonomics takes a hit with the extra weight, but with the benefits of having a larger capacity and better range.

Heavy handle weight (2.2 kgs or 4.85 pounds); Tiring to use in its handheld configuration; Very noisy; Quite expensive; Nozzle’s lack of padding can scratch hard surfaces

Aiming to prove that bigger is better, Dyson's V11 Outsize carries across all the technological advancements offered by its normal-sized V11 and V11 Absolute siblings, only with a much larger bin and a wider cleaning head to cover more ground in bigger households.
