Cleaning my house became so much easier since I upgraded to a stick vacuum this spring. I never pull out a broom when I have my trusted Dyson V11 cordless stick vacuum hanging on the wall nearby. It has more than enough power, battery life, and space in the dust canister to take on my small home.
But what if your home is a bit larger, you’d like a longer clean time between charging, or you’d like your stick vacuum to pick up more with every swipe? The Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum is for you.
I’ve been vacuuming with the Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum for a week and I love it. It’s a super-sized version of my own Dyson V11 stick vacuum and has all the same great features, but it has a 150% bigger dust canister, 25% larger high-torque cleaner head, and 2 batteries so you can swap them out and keep cleaning for up to 120 minutes.
Appearance and features of the Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum
The Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum is a 3-speed stick vacuum with a built-in HEPA filter. It weighs 3.56 kg (7.84 lbs) so it’s very lightweight despite its size and power.
- Runs for up to 120 minutes on two easily switchable lithium-ion batteries
- The extra-large dust bin is 150% larger than a standard Dyson stick vacuum battery
- Switch between three cleaning modes including Eco, Auto, and Boost
- Easy-view LCD screen shows you mode, battery life, or if you have a maintenance issue like a clogged hose
- High-torque XL cleaner head is 25% larger to cover more area, senses floor types, and directs the vacuum to adjust suction when needed
- Batteries can be charged on a docking station you mount on wall or just by plugging it into any wall outlet
- Advanced whole-machine HEPA filtration expels clean air and captures microscopic airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns
- Includes two chargers, two batteries, docking station, high-torque cleaner head, mini-motor head, extension hose, and flexi-crevice tool
Testing the Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum
It is always amazing to test out a Dyson product, and after testing out the standard-sized Dyson V11 stick vacuum I had to buy one for myself. I’ve been using it for several months and I’ve loved the battery life, easy charging, and how effortlessly it cleans up my house from top to bottom.
With the Dyson V11 Outsize, you get everything that’s great about the Dyson V11, all wrapped up in a super-sized package.
The Dyson V11 Outsize is the stick vacuum that intelligently cleans
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a stick vacuum but you’re worried about whether they had the suction and power of a standard corded vacuum, the Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum will put those fears to rest.
I vacuumed everything from my carpets to hard floors to sucking up dust from my rafters and the Dyson V11 Outsize consistently maintained steady suction and had power to spare. It picked up everything from dirt, dust, pasta, small sticks, and even a few pieces of lego. Whatever I pushed the ultra-wide cleaner head over, it picked up.
Out of the 3 cleaning modes I relied on Auto the most, but the Dyson V11 Outsize will also monitor whatever you’re cleaning and adjust the mode to take on what’s in front of it. If I switched from hard floor to my very dusty entryway carpet, the cleaner head would take a second and then automatically switch from Eco to Auto.
Boost will pick up everything in its path, and you may want to use it all the time. You can switch modes yourself by tapping the button under the LCD screen on the vacuum. You’ll just have to keep in mind that the battery life will be less in Boost mode than in Auto or Eco. I rarely switch to Eco unless I’ve been cleaning for a while and I want to glide over a slightly dusty floor.
Spare battery keeps you cleaning longer
The Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum has 2 batteries and 2 chargers. Unlike the standard Dyson V11, you don’t have to plug the entire cordless stick vacuum into the charger. You can take one of the chargers and thread it through the docking station so you can charge and store your stick vacuum right on the wall, or just take the battery off and plug it into any outlet to have on standby. It takes 4.5 hours to fully charge a dead battery.
Between the 2 batteries, you’ll be able to clean up to 120 minutes without stopping. I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned for 120 minutes at a time, but I did a big clean to test the battery life on this vacuum. I had it run on Eco mode unless it switched to Auto mode, and I ran it for 50 minutes before it said I had 2 minutes of battery life left. I cleaned all the floors, my rafters and light fixtures, and the interior of my car.
Even when the battery is almost dead, you don’t lose suction on this stick vacuum. It keeps picking up everything in its path.
Larger torque head cleans up
The Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum lives up to the ‘outsize’ name in every way. The 150% bigger dustbin is amazing when you’re cleaning because you don’t have to stop to empty it as often, and I am in love with the wider cleaner head. It’s so large it covers a huge section of my kitchen floor when I’m vacuuming, and that reduces the amount of time I spend cleaning.
Dyson attachments give you flexibility
There are several attachments included with the Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum that make it incredibly easy to clean your home. While I love the larger high-torque powerhead, the smaller mini-power head is great for cleaning cars, stairs, and your couch.
You can attach the extension hose when you’re reaching up to clean ceilings, and I used it on my 12-foot ceilings with no problem at all. The flexi-crevice tool is a standard with vacuum cleaners, and it’s a great way to reach into cracks to pick up whatever is hiding.
The docking station holds all of the attachments neatly on the wall, so you can just slide our Dyson V11 Outsize onto the station to store and charge it.
Point and shoot dust bin emptying
When you do have to empty the bin on the Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum, it’s a really easy process. You just remove the stick, pull the lever at the bottom of bin, and it empties into your trash. Occasionally you may have to reach inside to remove a small piece of debris that’s stuck, but generally, the entire contents of the dust bin will empty into your trash bag.
To minimize any flying dust when you empty the bin I recommend holding a plastic bag around it when you open it up. That way you can empty it, tie up the bag, and no dust hits the air at all.
The Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum has a whole machine HEPA filtration system. If you live with someone who has dust allergies you know how much sneezing can happen after you vacuum with a standard vacuum. With the Dyson V11 Outsize, the air it expels is cleaner than the air it intakes. It can capture dust, dander, and other microscopic airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. When I used the Dyson V11 Outsize around my dust-allergic husband, he never sneezed once.
When you need to clean the filter you can remove it and give it a rinse. Don’t put the filter back in the vacuum until it’s completely dry. You can also remove and rinse out the dust bin and the flexi-crevice tool.
Outsize your cleanup with the Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum
The Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum offers you more of everything you need to clean your home. Compared to the Dyson V11 Absolute, which on its own is a great vacuum, it has a larger dust bin, larger cleaning head, and extra battery to make cleaning faster and more efficient.
While 60 minutes of run time is more than enough for me, that extra battery means you can clean for as long as you like. It’s a lightweight vacuum too, so you can easily lift it into the rafters if you want to grab your dust strings or take it in the car and clean up the floors.
If I hadn’t already bought the Dyson V11 stick vacuum this past spring, I would definitely be bringing home the Dyson V11 Outsize cordless stick vacuum. It’s built for large houses and long clean times.
You can find your own Dyson V11 Outsize stick vacuum on Best Buy right now.
60 minutes to run time is I like most, the longer time the better. The longer to run, the more productive .
I like the long lasting battery life
I love that it has 2 batteries you can switch to. I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned for 120 minutes either, but i think the extra battery being ready is a great feature. Glad to hear it’s super powerful too. We have a 150+ year old house with original wood floors and gaps between them and no vacuum ever seems to be strong enough.
Who doesn’t want to own a Dyson? Nobody. Everybody wants to own a Dyson. Because it’s a Dyson.
I love that it’s wireless and lasts up to 2 hours!
i like that the battery has 120 minutes of charge. I regularally clean and sweep every day after kids and dogs. This would make it so much easier than using a corded vacuum and a broom as it has more power than a plug in! but cordless. I also live in a townhouse so there are a lot of hardwood stairs i sweep on a daily basis as well.
I suffer from allergies so the advanced HEPA filtration that creates a cleaner breathing environment will not cause my eyes to itch when I am vacuuming.
The great cleaning power in a cordless vacuum is fantastic
Love that there are 2 batteries and 2 chargers!
Love the battery life on the V11!
So amazing! I want one!
One of the many features I like of the Dyson V11 outsize vacuum is the fact that it has a lcd display screen that tells you if you are having any issues such as a clogged hose and of course it displays the battery life! Super awesome vaccum
The ability to run for up to 120 minutes on two switchable lithium-ion batteries is my favourite feature.
Love that it Includes two chargers and two batteries
Portability Power two chargers, two batteries! I require ease of use in my busy day with kids dogs a seed tossing budgie & RA in my life.
This would make cleanups so much easier – love the portability.
Oh wow … I have always wanted a Dyson Vac … Its not really in my price point … But sone my son moved back in with the dog … Im definitely thkn about it more & more! I’ve always liked the fact that the suction is apparently really amazing and with the XL bin on this one would definitely help cleaning up the whole new pet my dogs hair leaves around the house! LOL Fingers crossed
Cordless is the most awesome one !
Wow! Love this II love to have a cordless vacuum to make life so much easier for this senior who does most of the vacuuming in out home. Love a good vacuum that sucks up the dirt without spreading it.
I like that the batteries can be charged on a docking station you mount on wall or just by plugging it into any wall outlet

I have an older house and not many outlets for vacuums, so the Dyson V11 Outsize would be perfect.
Cordless with a long battery life and lightweight, you can’t go wrong!
Love the long battery life!
i love that it’s cordless, and that i can use the different attachments for all the surfaces in the house
It may be simple, but honestly just having a cordless vacuum would be so useful so I don’t have to lug the thing and find a plug on different floors 😛
I’d love to clean up all the hair off the ground!
I love the strong suction. I have a cat that sheds like mad, so it would be great to have a vacuum that *actually* lifts the hair from the carpet!
I like that the Dyson V11 has an LCD screen.
My absolute favourite feature is the whole machine HEPA filtration system, because I have allergies!
The suction power of this Dyson V11 Outsize Vacuum Cordless Stick Vacuum is impressive, even when the battery is almost completely depleted. This vacuum’s amazing light weight makes it much more comfortable and easier to manage and use over longer periods, especially for seniors like myself, and for people with arthritis, despite its huge capacity and larger size.
Finally, extras like a second charger, extra battery, easy charging, included extension hose & flexi-crevice tool, three cleaning modes, excellent reliability, and superior Dyson quality are marvelous features to look forward to and enjoy.
I like that the Dyson V11 has an extra large dustbin so I can vacuum longer without having to empty the canister
I have multiple allergies, so the whole machine HEPA filtration system is my absolute favourite feature! I am also very impressed by the suction power of this Dyson V11 Outsize Vacuum Cordless Stick Vacuum, even when the battery is almost completely depleted. Despite its huge capacity and larger size, this vacuum’s amazing light weight makes it much more comfortable and easier to manage and use over longer periods, especially for seniors like myself, and for people with arthritis. The extra charger, extra battery, easy charging, included extension hose & flexi-crevice tool, three cleaning modes, excellent reliability, and superior Dyson quality are all such wonderful features of this product as well.
The name Dyson is synonymous with performance engineering. I also appreciate a cleaner breathing environment that this Dyson VII will give to my home environment and improve my breathing health.
The swappable extra battery is the much needed feature along with the larger canister makes this vacuum tough to beat in its category
Battery life and has spare battery AND the cordless feature is what I love about it
dyson products are awesome ,so powerfull and lightweight, like the looks and ease of use.
Great review. So many useful features! Apart from the amazing suction power, I especially like the extra battery and the point and shoot dust bin emptying.

So much to enjoy – Easy-view LCD screen shows you mode, battery life, or if you have a maintenance issue like a clogged hose and it’s cordless
the HEPA filtration
HEPA filter feature r -! I can’t wait to take my dusting game to a whole new level: with this new lightweight dyson v11,
I would give my Dyson to my son and keep V11 to my self
The bigger dust bin caught my interest. It will come in handy given this vacuum can operate longer.
I love that I could finally clean under the bed!
The feature I like best is the strong suction–especially with the boost setting.
The features I like best are extra-large dust bin and the fact that it is easy to empty.
Cordless would be great for the stairs
