🧪 Performance
All of three of these Dyson Outsize models have the same:
- Suction power
- Cyclone count
- In-line configuration
- Cleaning modes
Concerning performance, the only real differences are:
- A couple cleaning attachments
- The color
So moving right along, let’s dive into the performance data of the Dyson Outsize.
Our test data is based on the Dyson V11 Outsize. The Dyson Outsize & Outsize Absolute+ are functionally identical to the V11 Outsize, so their cleaning performance will also be identical.
The Results

High Carpet
100%
As you can see, the performance on all floor types was exceptional, scoring 99-100%. For the record, all of these tests were run on Boost modes except for high pile carpet.
Cleaning low pile carpet with the Dyson V11 OutsizeWhen cleaning high pile carpet we noticed that the Boost suction was just a little too much and it tended to pull the carpet fibers and make it harder for the cleaning head to get on top of the debris.
Our solution?
Alternating between Boost and Eco Mode allowed the head to stay on top of the debris and better clean the area.
Hardwood Floor Cleaning
Cleaning performance on hardwoods was exceptional—no complaints and 99-100% for all debris types.

Cleaning performance on high pile carpet was more of a struggle, as mentioned above.
On Boost Mode, it wasn’t able to clean any of the cereal and only captured 86% of the rice. Kitty litter and sugar seemed to be unphased and still captured all of the debris.
Here’s what the testing lane looked like when only using Boost mode.

How do we test?
The performance of the V11 Outsize was scored using four different debris types—dry cereal, kitty litter, rice, and granulated sugar.
Cleaning performance test – dry debrisOur process involves spreading the debris onto our testing lanes, which include three different flooring types—engineered hardwoods, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet.
Run Time Tests
In addition to cleaning performance, we also like to test the run time performance. According to Dyson, you can expect about a 60 minute run time from a single battery.
And all of the Outsize models come with two batteries so that’s a combined run time of 120 minutes.
We put the V11 Outsize battery to the test and achieved the following run times:
Boost
7 mins.
Auto
48 mins.
Eco
81 mins.
NOTE: Each of these tests were conducted with the High Torque XL cleaner head and only on a single battery. For two batteries, you could basically double the run time since all three of these Outsize models come with two batteries.
RELATED – What’s the best Dyson vacuum?
The design of all three of these Dyson Outsize models is similar. They are all lightweight, 2-in-1 cordless stick vacuums.
Outsize was created as a bigger and better version of the V Series Dyson. Here is a quick list of how the design compares to a standard size V Series Dyson.
*In this table, the Dyson V11 is the Torque Drive version, not the V11 Outsize.
Feature | Outsize | Dyson V11 |
---|---|---|
Wider cleaning path | 12.5″ | 10″ |
Larger dust bin capacity | 1.69 L | 0.77 L |
Longer run times | Up to 120 mins | Up to 60 mins |
Suction power | 220 AW | 185 AW |
Cyclones | 2-tier, 18 total | 2-tier, 14 total |
So what’s different? The design differences between all three of these Outsize models include:
- Cleaning heads
- Cleaning tools
The Cleaning Heads
There are two main types of cleaning head for the Dyson.
- #1. High Torque: a spiral brushroll that uses a mix of rubberized paddles and soft bristles for multi-floor cleaning.
- #2. Soft Fluffy: a soft roller which is designed for cleaning large debris or hard surface flooring, like hardwoods, tile, or vinyl plank
#1. High Torque
There are currently four versions of the High Torque cleaning head.
Cleaning Head | Included With |
---|---|
High Torque (1.0; standard) | Dyson V11 |
High Torque (2.0; with polycarbonate teeth) | Dyson V15 |
High Torque XL (1.0; standard) | Dyson V11 Outsize |
High Torque XL (2.0; with polycarbonate teeth) | Dyson Outsize, Dyson Outsize Absolute+ |
Both the V11 Outsize and the newer Outsize both include a High Torque XL cleaning head. This head is designed for multi-floor cleaning and a wider cleaning path.
Torque Drive cleaning head: Dyson V11 (left) vs. V11 Outsize (right)The High Torque XL head on the newer Outsize could be considered a 2.0 version because it includes a row of polycarbonate teeth that help prevent tangles.
V11 Outsize cleaning large debris from carpetThe High Torque XL head on the V11 Outsize may be more like a 1.0 version since it skips this feature, but it does have the same cleaning path width.
#2. Soft Fluffy
There are also two versions of the Soft Fluffy head.
Dyson soft roller brush cleaning headConcerning the Outsize, the Absolute+ is the only version that currently comes with a Fluffy cleaning head.
Cleaning Head | Included With |
---|---|
Soft Fluffy (standard) | V10 Absolute |
Laser Slim Fluffy | Dyson Outsize Absolute+, V15 |
NOTE – You can purchase a soft roller cleaning head standalone here. The V11 version will work on any of the Outsize models.
I will also note here that none of the soft Fluffy heads are extra-wide like the High Torque cleaning heads.
The Laser Slim Fluffy head on the Outsize Absolute+ is the same cleaning head you’ll get with the Dyson V15.
Dyson V15 laser in the daylightDyson V15 laser in the darkIt has a washable, central brushroll and also integrates an onboard laser which illuminates a green light onto the floor.
This floor-based light makes it easier to see small debris as you’re cleaning.
The Cyclones
All of these Dyson Outsize models use the same 2-tier cyclone system. Because of the size of the larger dust bin (which is also the same among all three models), the total cyclone count is right at 18.
The cyclone system helps to power strong, fade-free suction.
Suction Power
The max suction power on these Outsize models is also the same among all models. There are three different suction levels you can run on.
Suction levels at each mode are as follows:
- Boost: 220 AW
- Auto: 49.5 AW
- Eco: 24.9 AW
Boost mode will use the most power and therefore have the shortest run time before you’ll need to recharge. Running on Eco Mode will use the least amount of power and have the longest run time.
For low pile carpet or hard surface flooring, Eco mode can be a good way to conserve battery life without noticing a dip in performance.
Digital Display
All of these Dyson Outsize models also have a digital display on the back of the handheld.
The display screen shows the following information:
- Estimated remaining run time
- Cleaning mode
- Maintenance alerts
Each different cleaning mode is represented by a different color. Maintenance alerts are shown in orange.
Dyson V15 display screenYou can easily cycle through the modes or display screens by pressing the button on the bottom of the display.
Size & Dimensions
Size is another area where there is a lot of overlap between these Outsize models. Because they all use basically the same body, the size is the same amongst all three models.
Dyson V11 Outsize sizeHere are the exact dimensions is:
- Length: 50.63″
- Width (cleaning head): 12.5″
- Weight: 5.4 lbs
- Dust bin capacity: 0.5 gallons or approximately 7.5 cups of dry debris.
The Outsize, V11 Outsize, and Outsize Absolute+ also come with the wider multi-floor cleaning head, which is 25% wider than the standard cleaning head.
What else comes with each Outsize?
Parts & Accessories
With all of the similarities between specs and size, accessories are where these Outsize models really break away from one another.

👍 Usability
So let’s talk about setup and usability for the Dyson Outsize models. Right out of the box, the setup is basically the same as other non-Outsize Dysons.
It arrives basically pre-assembled. All you need to do is snap together the parts you need for the particular cleaning job you’re doing.
For example…
- If you’re using it as a handheld, you can snap cleaning tools directly to the body of the vacuum. Charge up the battery, click it in, and you’re ready to go.
- If you’re using it as a stick vacuum, you can snap in the wand and select a cleaning head. It uses the same battery for both configurations so just click it in and get to cleaning.
How to attach tools?
All three of these Dysons also use the same Quick Attachment design for clicking in parts.
The tools attach by a quick release buttonHow to charge the battery?
The battery clicks into the body of the Outsize. Each of these models comes with 2 batteries which are each specified to have up to a 60 minute run time.
Click the battery into the base of the V11 OutsizeTo charge, just release the battery from the handheld and plug it into the charger. Charging the battery takes about 4.5 hours.
Maneuverability
The maneuverability of each Outsize is identical because the size of each vacuum is identical. Because of the larger dust bin and additional cyclones, I generally prefer to use the Outsize in stick vac mode.
- As a handheld, it feels a little heavy and kind of awkward. I think it’s the XL dust bin that really weighs this model down in-hand and could be uncomfortable for extended periods of time.
- As a stick vacuum, I think it maneuvers pretty well, considering its size. Sure, it’s going to feel bulkier than non-Outsize Dysons, but the Outsize models have a wider cleaning path and are just generally bulkier so I think some of that is to be expected.
The benefits of stronger suction, larger dust bin, and a longer (cord-free) run time could easily offset the annoyance of a bulkier build.
🔧 Maintenance
Maintenance between these models is a wash. Each Outsize has the same list of maintenance items which include:
- Empty the dust bin
- Wash the filter
- Clean the brushroll
- Recharge the battery
1. Empty the Dust Bin
The dust bin capacity of any of these Outsize models is right around 7 cups, or 0.5 gallons. This means you can clean for longer amounts of time before needing to empty the bin.
Emptying the dust bin of the Dyson V11 OutsizeWhen it is time to empty, there is a sliding red level on the back of the handheld that engages a “point and shoot” mechanism that opens the sealing hatch and sends debris flying into the trash can below.
2. Wash the Filter
The Outsize, Absolute+, and V11 Outsize all come with the same washable filter as well.
Dyson V11 Outsize washable HEPA filterSimply rinse with water until it runs clean and allow the filter to dry for up to 24 hours before reinstalling.
3. Clean the Brushroll
Part 1: Watch for Clogged Debris
Tangles in any brushroll are never a good sign and can impact performance or cause lasting damage to the machine.
Be sure to keep an eye on tangles or clogs on the underside of the brushroll.
Part 2: Wash the Brushroll (Absolute+ only)
The Outsize Absolute+ is the only model in this comparison that comes with the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaning head.
Dyson V15 Fluffy soft cleaning headThis head has a washable brushroll that can easily be removed from the frame of the cleaning head and rinsed with water.
Like the filter, be sure to set out to dry for up to 24 hours before reinstalling and using it again.
4. Recharge the Battery
All three of these Outsize models come with two click-in batteries. This style of battery is relatively new and makes it easier to charge up the vacuum.
In addition, including two batteries with each Outsize ensures that you’ll always have a fresh one for extended run times.
Maintenance Alerts
Lastly, let’s review maintenance alerts. Again, all of these Outsize models have the same digital display screen on the back of the handheld, which provides maintenance alerts as they are needed.
Alerts like this can notify you of:
- Clogged debris
- Full dust bin
- Dirty filter
- Low battery
- And more

🥇Which Outsize Is Right For You?
So we’ve made it this far. Still not sure which Dyson Outsize is right for you? Here are the high-level highlights of what may help sway you towards one model or another.
If you want the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaning head…
Go with the Dyson Outsize Absolute+.
This is currently the only Dyson Outsize model that includes this new cleaning head that was recently unveiled with the release of the Dyson V15.
While this head isn’t extra-wide like the High Torque head is, it does have an on-board laser light which

If you want the newer tools, but don’t need the Fluffy head…
Go with the Dyson Outsize.
Dyson Outsize Absolute+ hair screw toolFor the newer Hair Screw tool and the upgraded High Torque cleaning head (with polycarbonate teeth), the Dyson Outsize is a great option. These are great tools and especially nice if you have pets.
This model skips out on the Fluffy cleaning head, but during our tests we found the High Torque cleaning head to be more than sufficient for multi-floor cleaning, including hardwood floors.

If you want the lowest sticker price…
Go with the Dyson V11 Outsize.
Cleaning low pile carpet with the Dyson V11 OutsizeThis model is slightly older than the newer Outsize or Absolute+. As with many things, the older the model the lower the price. However, you really aren’t giving up anything major by going with the V11 Outsize vs. the more bleeding edge models.
In the case of the Outsizes, the differences between a “cutting edge” model and an older Outsize is pretty minimal, in my opinion. Save a couple bucks and get the V11 unless the upgrades for the newer model are hyper-critical to you.

The design of these four different V11 models is similar in design. They are all 2-in-1 stick vacuums that can be used as a handheld vacuum or a stick vacuum.
We’re going to hit a few of the design highlights of the V11 series including:
- Trigger control
- Airflow
- Cyclone power
- Battery power
- LCD display
Trigger
The V11’s all use the trigger button to turn the vacuum on and off. As you clean, you simply hold the button down. Once you let go, the vacuum turns off.
Dyson V11 Motor bodyWhile the trigger design could be taxing if you have limited strength in your hands and wrists, for most users the trigger is a nice feature and prevents you from wasting battery life when the vacuum is not in use.
Airflow
All of the V11 vacuums also have advanced airflow. In older Dyson stick vacuums, the design of the dust bin reduced airflow and held less debris.
Airflow: Dyson V6 shown on top vs V11 shown belowThe V11 rotated the dust bin from this older style and allows the air to flow more directly from the cleaning head all the way to the dust bin.
Cyclone Power
Suction power is one area that differs on the Dyson V11. The Outsize and Outsize Origin uses an updated cyclone design that integrates up to 18 cyclones.
Dyson V11 Outsize handheld modeIn comparison, the Torque Drive and Animal only use 14 cyclones and those extra cyclones provide extra suction power in all modes.
Check out the comparison below:
Outsize & Outsize Origin
- Boost: 220 AW
- Auto: 49.5 AW
- Eco: 24.9 AW
Torque Drive & Animal
- Boost: 185 AW
- Auto: 38. 6 AW
- Eco: 26 AW
Battery Power
The V11 Outsize and Outsize Origin both use click-in batteries. For convenience, the Outsize comes with 2 batteries and the Origin comes with just 1 battery. The battery can be charged in the vacuum or detached.
In Q4 2020, Dyson updated both the V11 Animal and Torque Drive to include a click-in battery system. This brings them on-par with the Outsize’s clickable system.
Below are the charge times for each model:
Outsize
4.5 hrs
Torque Drive
4.5 hrs
Animal
4.5 hrs
Outsize Origin
4.5 hrs
Even though all of the V11 vacuums take 4.5 hours to charge, the V11 Outsize wins this category since it has a second battery that you can use while the first one is charging.
Click-in battery for the Dyson V11LCD Display
The Dyson V11 Outsize, Torque Drive, and Outsize Origin come with an LCD display on the top of the vacuum. This LCD can be used to:
- Change cleaning modes (Eco Mode, Auto Mode, or Boost Mode)
- See remaining run time
- Receive maintenance alerts
The Dyson V11 Animal includes a more basic LED screen that provides the same information with illuminated lighting, but not a dynamic screen.

Parts & Accessories
Different Dyson submodels generally are going to come with different accessories as one of the factors that differentiate models.
This has been the pattern for older Dyson V-Series models as well, like the V8 and V10 as well.
Here is a quick look at what you’ll get with the Dyson V11 Torque Drive. Accessories for the V11 Animal will look identical to the image below with the exception of the soft dusting brush.
The V11 Animal does not come with the soft dusting brush.
Accessories for the Dyson V11 Torque DriveAccessories for the https://shop-links.co/1737672431556966355 outsize are similar. The biggest difference here is the addition of the click-in battery and an additional charger for that.
The standard Outsize comes with 2 batteries and the Outsize Origin, Torque Drive, and Animal all come with 1 battery. Below are the accessories that are included with the V11 Outsize:
Accessories for the Dyson V11 Outsize (not shown: wand and cleaning head)What’s in the box?

- Click-in battery & charger: charge the battery separate from the rest of the vacuum for easier charging (Outsize comes with 2 batteries; Outsize Origin, Torque Drive, and Animal come with 1 battery. )
- Wand: converts the vacuum from a handheld vacuum to a powerful stick vacuum (included with all V11 submodels)
- Wand clip: makes it easy to store one accessory on the vacuum as you clean (included with all V11 submodels)
- Mini-motorized brush: uses a small motorized brushroll to clean upholstery, automotive interiors, beds, curtains, etc. (included with all V11 submodels)
- Soft dusting brush: soft brushes can be used for dusting furniture, fans, blinds, etc. (not included with the V11 Animal)
- Crevice tool: a long narrow tool used for cleaning crevices or narrow spaces like between cushions, furniture, or automobile interiors; also good for collecting larger debris like rice or cereal (included with all V11 submodels)
- Combination tool: doubles as a shorter crevice tool and a soft dusting brush; easy to switch between the two modes (included with all V11 submodels)
Performance
In terms of performance, all four of these models are really top-of-the-line and are designed with extremely high-quality parts and suction power.
They all have intelligent suction for varying floor types and have brushrolls designed to tackle a variety of debris types with unwavering performance.
Cleaning low pile carpet with the Dyson V11 OutsizeTo really gauge performance, we put these vacuums through a series of tests on various floor types.
We tested on hardwoods, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet and against multiple debris (including sugar, rice, kitty litter, and cereal).
V11 Outsize cleaning large debris from carpetAlthough there are four different submodels of the V11, there are only two different body styles:
- V11 Torque Drive & Animal
- V11 Outsize & Outsize Origin
For simplicity, we tested the V11 Torque Drive vs. V11 Outsize models.
Here’s what we found.
Cleaning Results
V11 Torque Drive
- Overall: 99%
- Hardwood: 99%
- Low Carpet: 100%
- High Carpet: 99%
V11 Outsize
- Overall: 99%
- Hardwood: 99%
- Low Carpet: 99%
- High Carpet: 100%
One note would be in regards to the V11 Outsize on carpeted floors. The V11 Outsize has stronger suction on Max mode compared to the V11 Torque Drive (220 AW vs. 180 AW).
This stronger suction initially made it a little difficult to suck up larger debris types, like rice and cereal.
Debris pushed aside on the V11 Outsize cleaning testWhen we ran the first test of the Outsize , the vacuum seemed to pull too hard on the high pile carpet, which didn’t allow enough separating between the debris and the carpet for anything to actually be collected.
This test was on Boost mode.
Dyson V11 Outsize high pile carpet cleaning testsWhen we re-ran the test on Eco mode (with less suction) and did a couple of extra passes with the vacuum, we noticed the performance drastically improve.
This test was on Eco Mode.

The Brushroll
The brushroll plays a big part in the overall performance. The Torque Drive / Animal brushroll is narrower and lighter.
Dyson V11 Outsize (right) vs. V11 Torque Drive brushroll (left)In comparison, the V11 Outsize / Outsize Origin brushroll is 25% wider and also heavier.
If you’re concerned with cleaning time, the V11 Outsize head could clean the same space in approximately 25% less time.
Usability
These 2-in-1 Dyson vacuums are easy to set up and use. All of the parts use quick-release connections, which makes it easy to swap between various cleaning tools.
The wand makes it easy to add or detach cleaning tools or the rotating head.All of the V11 vacs can still turn on a dime and lay almost completely flat.
The overall maneuverability of the Outsize and Outsize Origin is a little worse, thanks to its larger motorhead, dustbin, and wider cleaning path.
Dyson V11 Outsize laying flatThe Outsize also feels heavier in-hand due to its larger size.
In-hand, here are the exact weights of each model.
- V11 Outsize / Outsize Origin: 5.4 lbs (with no attachments)
- V11 Torque Drive / Animal: 4.2 lbs (with no attachments)
You can see in the image below that the Torque Drive has fewer cyclones and a smaller dust bin so it’s a little more manageable.
Dyson V11 – handheld modeMaintenance
Overall maintenance for all the V11 vacuums is basically the same. The shortlist of items to keep an eye on include:
- Empty the dust bin, as needed. Note: Since the dust bin on the Outsize models is larger, you won’t have to do this step as often.
- Recharge or replace the battery, as needed. The battery on all V11 models is designed to last the life of the vacuum. The battery can run for up to 60 minutes before needing to be recharged (or swapped out with an alternative battery). The batteries take approximately 4.5 hours to recharge.
- Check the brushroll for tangles or debris. Keeping the brushroll looking good is an important step to maintaining peak performance suction.
- Wash the filter, as needed. All V11 vacuums also have a washable HEPA filter. You can use cold water to rinse the filter as needed and allow it to set out for 24 hours to air dry.
- Watch for maintenance alerts. Any pertinent maintenance alerts will show up directly on the LCD screen, making it easier to know when an issue needs to be addressed.

Which V11 is Right for You?
On the fence about which V11 is the best option for your needs? Here’s a quick overview of which model might be for you.
I would recommend the following based on specific needs.
If you want the longest run time…
I would recommend the Dyson V11 Outsize. With 2 click-in batteries, it’s easy to clean while the other battery charges. When it’s time to switch, you simply interchange the batteries and have a minimal interruption.
If you want a lighter vacuum…
I would recommend the Dyson V11 Torque Drive or the V11 Animal. Both of these are smaller and lighter than the Outsize models and may be easier to maneuver as well.
If you want quicker cleaning cycles…
I would recommend the V11 Outsize or Outsize Origin. Both of these use a cleaning head that is 25% wider than the head on the Torque Drive or Animal stick vacuums.
If you want the best value…
I would recommend the Dyson V11 Animal. This vacuum offers the best value because it comes in at the lowest price and still has excellent performance. The biggest differences include the lack of (1) the soft dusting brush, (2) click-in battery, and (3) LCD screen.

Dyson V11 Oversized DealsDyson V11 Oversized Wireless… Bed Bath & Beyond $799.99View over 130 million products at the best prices every day
Achieving near perfection with the Dyson V11 Absolute, The world's most famous cordless vacuum manufacturer has taken on the unenviable task of trying to improve the cleaning experience of a vacuum cleaner with its Dyson V11 Outsize - and it's not too far from the current generation of models. .
Dyson's V11 line already offers some significant improvements over its V10 predecessors, including extended battery life, replaceable batteries, an incredible 185AW (Air Watts) suction power, and a particularly user-friendly rear LCD that lets you switch. through the modes and see how much time you have left.
It's understandable that Dyson would have to do something big to distinguish the Outsize from other models in the V11 lineup - a task the company seems to have taken literally. Simply put, the V11 is huge, redesigned to accommodate large homes with a massive trash can and larger cleaning head..
But while bigger is undeniably often better, when it comes to tech products - few people turn down a giant-sized TV, for example - with the many options already available in the V11 range, it's important to make sure the bigger and dear Dyson V11 Oversized is really a must for your home.

Price and availability
It's probably no surprise that Dyson's V11 Outsize is more expensive than the regular-sized V11. Luckily, the price jump between models isn't as big as the Outize itself..
In the US, you can buy a Dyson V11 Outsize for $799, $100 more than the stock V11 torque and $200 more than the V11 Animal. You also have the option of the slightly less expensive V11 Outsize Origin, which comes with fancy gold trim but one less accessory (no room for you, stick clip).
In Australia, the V11 starts at AU$1299, only AU$100 more than the absolute V11 with the same number of attachments (two cleaning heads, five tools). This price takes another small leap forward to 1349AU$ for the V11 Outsize Pro which includes three additional tools (extension hose, mattress tool and flex tool) plus gold tubing and trim.
Unfortunately it looks like the Dyson V11 Outsize is still awaiting a UK release however we expect it to be officially announced for that territory in the not so distant future and will update this review with pricing details when they are confirmed.

Design and key features
With the Dyson V11 Outsize inheriting all the technology features of the standard V11, the only real difference is in its design. More precisely, its weight and size. But first, let's talk about features.
You will still get a 40% increase in suction compared to the V10 series along with a battery that will last up to 60 minutes at its lowest level despite the aforementioned suction surge. Like other V11 models, the Outsize also allows you to swap out the battery for a spare using a one-button system at the base of the handle, although additional batteries are sold separately..
Once again, Dyson has adopted "Radial Cyclone" technology with a set of 18 cyclones said to produce suction forces of up to 79,000g to pick up dirt. Meanwhile, the V11's standard six-layer filtration system is also making a comeback, and Dyson claims it's capable of trapping "99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns" in its removable filter, though we'll have to believe it.

The Dyson V11 Outsize still offers a choice of three power settings, which can be accessed via the single mode button on the back of the unit. Eco, as the name suggests, offers the longest battery life and lowest amount of suction (which is still pretty strong all things considered), while Boost offers the highest amount of suction but drains the battery very quickly. nine0003
Between these two elements is set to "Medium / Auto", which provides an ideal average height of suction power and durability. So why the difference between Medium and Auto? It all depends on which cleaning tool is installed, but more on that later. mode), as well as smart reporting for blockages and other things you need to know, such as when a filter needs to be cleaned. nine0003
There is quite a difference in size between Dyson's regular V11 and the Outsize V11. (Image credit: Dyson)
Of course, the main benefit of the V11 Outsize is obviously its increased capacity, providing a much larger container that can hold considerably more dirt than the standard V11, making it a more attractive prospect for people with larger homes.
But how much bigger is the V11 Outsize really? If you're familiar with Dyson, you know the company doesn't do anything by half, which is why Vize Outsize has achieved a whopping 150% increase in container size, increasing the total volume from 0. 76 liters to 1.9l..
Of course, with the increase in size comes weight, and make no mistake - the Dyson V11 Outsize is a hefty boy indeed. However, the added weight is not as much as you might think.
At 3.56 kg (without attachments), the V11 Outsize is 470 grams heavier than the standard V11, although you will admittedly feel some extra lift when holding vacuum over your head in tight spaces.
(Picture credit: ditch)
The V11 container isn't the only part of the larger package - Dyson's V11 Outsize comes with the new High Torque XL cleaning head, which is 25% wider than the standard High Torque version that comes with other V11 models.
Because the tool is motorized, turning it on in the Medium setting will switch it to automatic mode, allowing the V11 Outsize to automatically adjust power based on the type of surface it is being used on..
Also includes a standard fluffy head cleaner, combination tool, crevice tool, mini motorized tool, soft dust brush and dirty surface brush, and a docking station that can be wall mounted.
The V11 Outsize is very easy to clean and hasn't changed much since the last major redesign of the Cyclone V10 series. The forward-facing hopper door means you simply need to remove any tubes or attachments from the main unit, aim the V11 Outsize at your chosen trash can, then press the lever on the bottom of the unit to release the collected dirt..

Introducing
How We Test Vacuum Cleaners
We test vacuum performance by replicating three typical home cleaning scenarios: oats scattered across a tiled floor; carpet freshener and talc scattered on the carpet; and beloved hair on the carpet and sofa. We also test maneuverability when cleaning around and under furniture and on stairs, ease of emptying the container and battery life..
Like the other V11 models, the Outsize is a dream to use. Despite the extra power provided by the supercharged Hyperdymium V11 Outsize motor (which is capable of spinning at up to 125,000 rpm), the vacuum itself is always in complete control, with a pleasant hum that only really gets loud under top acceleration. installation.
As we mentioned earlier, the Dyson V11 Outsize is heavier than every other Dyson handgrip that came before it. For general use (i.e. floor cleaning) this won't be much of an issue as the attached tube and scrub head help offset and balance the weight of the unit..
However, you will probably feel some pressure when you have nothing to rest on, especially if you need to direct the vacuum into the upper corners of your home.
(Image credit: Ditch) modes there is a clear difference between each of them in terms of battery life, since the LCD screen shows exactly how much time we have left in the vacuum - the only exception is the automatic setting, with battery life completely dependent on different surfaces in your home, whether it be wood floors, tiles, concrete or carpet. nine0003
During our tests, we found that all three settings were able to pick up what we had thrown before the V11 Outsize. This includes the usual Ditching meal of oats and talc, as well as a generous amount of pet hair that our house cats were happy to donate solely for the purposes of this test (at least that's what we tell ourselves).
(Image credit: Ditch)
We're just going to come out and say this: We love the High Torque XL cleaning head. Not only does its extra width allow you to cover more ground in less time, its articulated head also means it will keep rolling forward no matter what angle you push it at. nine0003
This gives the Dyson V11 Outsize incredible maneuverability, making it easy to roll the vacuum under sofas, tables, beds and other places that are normally hard to reach.
Seriously, the High Torque XL swivel means you can almost lay the entire V11 Outsize right on its side and still vacuum without any problems (see picture below for proof).
(Image credit: ditch)
Of course, the High Torque XL cleaner is just one of several accessories that come with the V11 Outsize, many of which will be familiar to anyone who has used a Dyson vacuum cleaner in the last few years. . nine0003
As previously mentioned, Outsize also comes with a range of additional tools for crevicing, dusting, cleaning and removing dirt. where full size cleaning heads can be too large and bulky. Removing the tube and attaching the mini motorized tool directly to the V11 cylinder makes it ideal for car interior cleaning as well..
However, the V11 Outsize's larger container makes it somewhat unwieldy to use in portable mode - especially when smaller attachments are connected directly to its massive trunk. Used this way, it quickly becomes apparent that a larger Outsize will have a harder time fitting into tighter spaces, such as a car floor section. in your home, this improved mopping capability is achieved through manual maneuverability..

court order
Everything that was great about Dyson regular size V11 vacuum cleaners has been retained with the V11 Outsize, a super-sized variant of an already superior vacuum that simply holds more dirt and has more wide cleaning head. No matter which V11 model you choose, you'll still get the same suction power, the same modes, the same extended battery life, and the same user-friendly LCD display. .
If your home is on the larger side, the Dyson V11 Outsize is sure to cut down on the number of times you have to stop and empty the bin, while its 25% cleaning head will theoretically let you get the job done in 3/4. 4 time.
At the end of the day, the choice between the standard V11 or the V11 Outsize comes down to whether to spend a little extra convenience for extra money. For some people it certainly will. For everyone else, the stock V11 might be more than enough. nine0003
