Dyson - V11 Outsize Cordless Vacuum - Red/Nickel

---- Summary ---- Pros: - Powerful suction - Adapts to floor type - Cord-free - Two long-lasting battery packs - Lightweight - Full-size cleaner head and bin - LCD screen with helpful info - Whole-machine filtration - Multiple tools included Cons: - Price ---- Review ---- Design: The Dyson V11 Outsize is a hybrid between a full-size corded and a compact cord-free vacuum. Compared to the Dyson V11 Torque Drive cord-free vacuum, this model has a 150% bigger bin capacity and a 25% bigger cleaner head for increased floor coverage and debris collection. When I compared the bin and cleaner head size to my current full-size corded vacuum, the difference was almost unnoticeable. With the V11 Outsize, you get the coverage and capacity of a full-size vacuum but with cord-free convenience. It is also very light and easier to maneuver compared to a full-size vacuum. The top of the vacuum has an LCD display that I have found to be very useful, as it shows the current power mode and a precise countdown to the end of the battery life. It also has filter maintenance reminders and video tutorials that show how to care for the vacuum. Operating this vacuum is simple, thanks to the click-in and go battery and tools, as well as the power trigger. Each tool has its own benefits, so a variety of messes, surfaces, and crevices can be cleaned. I am especially fond of the mini motorized tool that has worked great on my couch and stairs. The whole-machine filtration captures 99.99% of particles, and the point and shoot bin emptying design makes it easy and hygienic to empty. As long as the contents are dry, everything comes out with ease, and there is no need to touch it. Also included in the box is a wall-mounted docking station for easy storage and retrieval. One of the two included chargers can be hooked up to the wall dock so that the battery gets charged after each use. The V11 Outsize is a masterfully designed cord-free vacuum. Features: A standout feature to me is the Dyson Dynamic Load Sensor, which automatically adjusts the power based on floor type. This means that power consumption is reduced on hard floors for longer run times and increased on carpet for a deeper clean. No need for a different cleaner head or manual adjustments. I tried going back and forth across different floor types and was surprised by how quickly it adapts when transitioning from one floor type to another. This automatic power adjustment occurs when the vacuum is set on auto mode, but another nice feature is that you can switch to eco mode for maximum run time or boost mode for intensive cleaning. Eco mode is useful for dusting or lighter messes, and boost mode is useful for occasional larger messes. Up to 120 minutes of run time can be achieved when using both batteries, depending on power mode, floor type and attachments used. With some hard floor and some carpet vacuuming, I averaged about 40 minutes per battery, so a total of 80 minutes. The features of this vacuum make for a great experience. Performance: The main question I had about the performance of the V11 Outsize was how does it compare to full-size corded vacuums? Well, it certainly delivers an impressive amount of suction, and I have noticed that it picks up just as much, if not more than the full-size corded vacuum I own. I think I could swap the V11 Outsize with my corded vacuum with confidence that I would not be sacrificing performance. The V11 Outsize delivers the most efficient and convenient vacuuming experience I have ever had. Shed hair and food left behind by my cat is no match for this vacuum. Neither is dirt or dust, even when they are embedded deep in the carpet. With this being a pricey Dyson, my expectations were high, but I am happy to report that those expectations were not only met but exceeded. Verdict: I do not think a cleaning tool has ever brought me excitement, but the Dyson V11 Outsize does just that. The price is steep, in my opinion. However, I think that the performance, efficiency, convenience and longevity compensate for that. If you are looking for a cord-free vacuum that can compete with a full-size corded one, look no further.

Dyson V11 Outsize Let’s start out by saying it is a Dyson, so it has great power and cleans great. You can clean with 3 different power settings: Auto, Eco and Boost. The LED display will tell you the remaining battery life based on your selection. I use auto mode as the vac will adjust the power based on the type of floor. Again, the power is great. The V11 Outsize does pick up dirt and pet hair better than any other vacuum I have used. We have ¾ carpet to ¼ hard floor. Pushing on carpet is not real easy. It does help to hold it lower when pushing. I think if you have mostly hard floors, you will find it easier to push. I found myself looking for a handle for my second hand when doing carpet. It was also too powerful to clean the bathroom throw rugs. You also must hold the trigger down the whole time you are vacuuming. Even though the trigger is easy to depress, my wife and I found it annoying and a little cumbersome having to hold it in. I have used other vacuums that give you a choice, i.e. when you double press the button the unit stays on. I recommend Dyson do the same. I really wish these style units had a way to stand on their own. You will have to set it on the floor or a piece of furniture when not in use. Attachments – Love all the attachments. You have a tool for every need. The power head is great for stairs, furniture etc. You also have on-board storage for 2 tools. Th V11 comes with 2 batteries which is great, you won’t run out of power no matter the size of your home. Cleaning – The roller is easy to remove. Simply pull up on the red tab, grab the roll and slide it out to clean. Another nice feature is the process of emptying the canister. Simply remove the cleaning wand, hold the canister over a trash can and push down on the red handle. The bottom door will open and the dirt falls out. No need to touch the dirt. Pro’s Cordless – Yeah, no cords! Powerful –more power than many corded uprights 60 minute run time per battery Large canister Nice accessory tools for those hard to reach places On board washable filter Converts to handheld version quickly Picks up pet hair great with the powerful dual action head (it has a row of standard bristles and a row of carbon fiber bristles that break the static bond) Digital display Full size wide cleaning head On Board tool storage Con’s Heavy Hard to push on carpet Have to hold trigger to keep power on Overall, I will say this is the best cleaning vacuum I have used but is a bit heavy. My wife wont use this as it is too hard on her arm. So now I get to do the house ..Yeah me.

Love it. Had a smaller one but like the big one better you should make it in pink hot pink that is.

The Dyson 11 Outsize improves over the other V11 models in having a larger bin and it now has removable batteries. While previous models required a screwdriver to swap batteries, this model finally comes with swappable batteries (Like a power drill). It comes with two identical batteries and two identical power chargers. The battery can be charged in or out of the vacuum, and with the two chargers, both batteries can be charged at the same time. The larger dustbin, while doesn't require emptying the vacuum as often, also makes an already large and heavy vacuum even more so. Performance: The vacuum engine is really amazing and very powerful. So much so that the vacuum has three speeds, and most times one would use it in either Eco or Med/Auto modes, or about half power or so. The Boost mode runs the battery fairly quickly, it's much louder and I found it mostly unnecessary, while making the vacuum heavier. In Boost mode this vacuum should exceed the suction power of most wired household vacuums. The Med mode changes to 'Auto' mode when attaching the cleaner head, which senses the type of floor in use, and adapts its speed and the vacuum speed accordingly. If found this to work fairly well when going from hardwood to an area rug or floormats. Battery: Comes with two swappable batteries, 7-cell each. In Med/Auto mode, each battery provides from 30 min to 45 min runtime and 1 hour or mode in Eco. The runtime in Boost mode would be around 10 minutes. On a couple occasions, after continuous use, the battery went into protection mode and shut down for a few seconds. If this happens, wait 5 to 10 seconds and everything goes back to normal. The battery can be charged in or outside the vacuum and has a charging indicator LED, in addition to the screen of the vacuum. It comes with two identical chargers which do no have any lights on them. Cleaning: - Hardwood: This is where this vacuum shines. It has plenty of power and about 2 hours of use (2 batteries - In Eco mode) is more than enough runtime. The 'High Torque' cleaning head works well: It has two sets of bristles. The softer is slightly longer and is used on hardwood. The firmer set of bristles are shorted and get in contact with rugs. - Floor mats (or thick, shallow rugs): Using the 'High Torque' head works very well, and the Auto sense feature adjusts suction speed very well. - Rugs: Using the 'High Torque' cleaning head works fine on thin or worn rugs, but fails to work at all on slightly thicker area rugs: While the vacuum has plenty of suction, the roller is driven by an independent motor housed inside the roller. It either doesn't have enough power to push the larger roller or it falsely senses that it's stuck and stops rotating. This works a bit better when setting the feet of the roller in less suction mode, and at the same time, setting the vacuum in eco mode. What it does is to let more air in, so it doesn't create too much suction. It's slightly better but it still gets stuck, and unlike other vacuums, I cannot recommend this for cleaning thicker rugs. - Upholstery: This model comes with a smaller roll, that's also independently powered, and it's great to clean upholstery or car seats. - Accessories: Plenty of other accessories including a soft brush, a hard brush, a crevices head and a standard head with a retractable brush. This last one would be the go to for almost any cleaning that doesn't include the powered brushes. All of it can be used with or without the aluminum extension rod. Dock: - It comes with a wall-mount dock that requires two screws into the wall, and once mounted, a clip in the dock hides the screws. Unfortunately, this design makes it very hard to try unmounting the dock without breaking it, which can be done with something like a long flat screwdriver and lots of patience. I don't know why they think this is a good design. If you like me don't want to make holes into the wall, there is an optional pedestal that like other Dyson products is priced accordingly and costs more than other vacuums. Emptying and maintenance: - Really easy by removing the accessories and lifting a lever. Note that unlike previous designs, the barrel can break if one forgets to detach the accessories. This was not a problem on previous designs. This is because the dust comes from the from of the vacuum, where the accessories go. On previous models, it had a separate latch to open the dust bin. - The rollers have only two sets of bristles to make is harder to catch hair, and the roller can be removed from its enclosure making it easy to clean. - Most of the vacuum can be taken apart. The dustbin assembly can come off with a series of latches and is very easy to maintain. - It has a washable cloth filter and a HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is the last in a series of filters and should last from 6 months to a year. Overall: - Great suction, swappable batteries would make it an excellent choice. Very long runtime and extra battery. Great assortment of accessories included within. It's great if you don’t mind the larger size and extra weight. Excellent for hardwood, cleaning cars, upholstery and anything that does not include a thicker rug.

Excellent Vacuum, with great suction power. Very easy to use. Does a great job cleaning. Don't like that I have to hold down the button. EZ fix, I ordered from Amazon a gizmo that takes care of this and give me a locking mode to give the hand a break from holding down the button. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081QBZ1VN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3OULB8S2H76BD&psc=1

Amazing beautiful machine!!!! It not only luxury, it really gets the job done to perfection!!!!! Outstanding quality and performance!!

Dyson is getting closer. I own the V6 and the V10. The V11 Oversized is getting closer to ideal for me. The wider brush bar makes it better for larger areas of cleaning. The increased bin size is only natural given the wider brush bar gives you more debris to suck up in one swoop. They’ve even made the battery replaceable. All awesome. I enjoy this vacuum. All our uprights have been retired and we now run strictly cordless stick vacs. Given we have mostly hard floors (tile & wood), this is great for us. The run time has been fantastic so far and the extra battery helps nudge that along if you’re planning to cover a lot of ground. The smart sensing also helps to ensure you’re using power efficiently. The second battery is included, with a charge cable. Both scores. My gripe though is that it would be next level if they could have somehow integrated charging of the second battery into the wall cradle. As is, you have to leave a battery kind of just sloppily around and hooked up to the cord. Think laptop or smart phone like. Not what I’d expect for how Dyson tends to execute things. The brush bar still has trouble dealing with larger debris. The suction control ports are too narrow. If they’re going to stick with this design, some arrows or bars in decals to indicate their location would be helpful. I’ll probably just have to make some on my own with our craft machine. The power level seems to go wonky on me at times. When I go to vacuum an area rug, it kicks into high suction and then the display shows like the battery is running dead. The vacuum will still operate though and if you put it on the charge it shows the battery level is not depleted. See photos. Overall, I’m very happy and can’t wait to see what the V12 or V13 might do.
