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.

For me it has to be the extra battery life!
I love that the Dyson V11 Outsize has 2 batteries and an LCD screen!
I really loved the extra battery idea. Usually I do the cleaning on a weekend day, and it would be fantastic to be able to clean everything in those two hours.
For me, it’s gotta be the extra battery life and the fact that it’s cordless!
Love that it is cordless as always tripping over cord and pulling it out of wall plug. Also being lightweight helps so not lugging around a heavy vacuum especially when doing stairs.
Dual batteries for 2 hours runtime.
So many great features! The extra-large dust bin being 150% larger than a standard one is a huge PLUS
I love the fact that it has a wider cleaner head so it covers a bigger section of the floor
The fact that one does not have to be plugged in and the length of the time it can be used without having to charge even if it is by changing the power pack. Two batteries/power packs is a real plus as well.
battery life Smile
It has 2 batteries which means you can continue to clean even when the first battery is dead…that’s amazing!
Really like the advanced whole-machine HEPA filtration. perfect for cleaning the air we breathe in
That its light weight
I love the fact that it is cordless and it has an extra battery

Oh a large dustbin you don’t have to empty every few minutes sounds like a wonderful feature!
I love that even though it is cordless, when the battery was almost dead, the vacuum still operated with full power. This is very unusual as most cordless items lose power as the battery dies!
The feature I like the most of the Dyson V11 Outsize is the 2 hours of battery life!
This vacuum looks like it can do wonders!! Cordless is such a game changer !!
Love that it can run for up to 120 minutes on two easily switchable lithium-ion batteries
Dyson you have what all i need!!! You bring a machine from future again!!!

Cordless feature is the best
Our home has hardwood floors and one area rug, we also have two cats. Between the fur and litter, we are constantly vacuuming – the feature I like best about the Dyson V11 Outsize is the High-torque XL cleaner head and Dyson DLS technology senses and intelligently adapts to different floor types in auto mode for the right level of power. This feature would be perfect for cleaning up after our two furry friends.
I like the excellent battery life and it’s lightweight
the cordless function is the best feature
Easy-view LCD screen lets you monitor real-time performance is a neat feature!
the battery life of up to 2 hours!!!

I love how it comes with a spare battery!! The portability is amazing 🙂
Like the 2 batteries and indicator for clogged hose. 2 hour battery life is amazing!
Really like the portability of this unit.
Cordless, lightweight and long battery life
This is the feature I like best: “Easy-view LCD screen lets you monitor real-time performance, such as remaining run time down to the second, maintenance alerts, and more.” I like to know when the charge is going to run out! 🙂

love the bigger size collector cannister and removable battery
I love the Easy-view LCD screen feature so you know how much battery is remaining.
I love that it switches itself from Eco to Boost when it detects the need! How awesome is that?? An intelligent vacuum is just what I need with my 2 little dogs!
I like point and shoot dustbin emptying feature the most.
Definitely the cordless feature, unplugging and plugging back in and not tripping over the cord is a chore in itself!
