Customer Ratings & Reviews

Verdict: Wow! The Dyson Gen5outsize vacuum is amazing. It impresses with its exquisite design, strong performance, ultra quiet operation, and innovative technology. This has become the go-to vacuum for everything in the house and the cars. You know you have a winner when your wife says “wow” at least five times while vacuuming the kitchen! Setup. When delivered, the box seemed a bit small for a vacuum, but that was because everything was packed very efficiently in the box, wasting almost no space. While a quick reference card was included, assembly was quick, easy, and intuitive. Included in the box are the main vacuum with motor, two batteries and two charging cables (awesome!), the stick extension, a carpet attachment, a hardwood attachment, a rotating small brush attachment, and a small brush attachment. ` Initial impressions. This thing is beautiful! Yes, I am writing about a vacuum! It’s designed beautifully, with a nice color scheme, a cool LED screen on the back, and really convenient features, such as the pop-out crevice tool & brush that lives in the stick attachment, and the dust ejector button that actually moves the dust collection container forward to get hair or other debris out of the container. The batteries arrived partially charged, so we could try out the vacuum right away! The vacuum is quite light and easy to maneuver, and it is unbelievably quiet. There is no “on” trigger on this vacuum; to start, you just press the power button. Batteries. The Dyson Gen5Outsize comes with two batteries and two charging cables, which is really nice. The battery loads just under the handle. On hardwood, the screen shows that it will last about 50 min, and for high-pile carpet the screen shows about 40 minutes. The vacuum does ramp up when it encounters more dirt or a clump of hair, so actually usage may vary. Having two chargers is amazing. We mounted one charger on the wall attachment so that the vacuum can charge while stored on the wall, and we can use the second charger to charge the other battery in a different part of the house, or next to the wall mount when we know we have a big job to do. Suction. On the medium setting, suction is good and sufficient for most cleaning. On “boost,” suction is impressive, maybe even comparable to the shopvac we use to clean the cars! Usually, portable vacuums offer convenience at the expense of suction power. Of course, battery life is shorter on boost mode, but it is well worth the increase in power to accomplish a specific task. I was reluctant to use cordless vacuums to clean the cars but now I can use this Dyson on boost and take care of a small mess in the car in just a few minutes! No suction compromise with this vacuum! It’s awesome. Hardwood. Most of the flooring in our house is hardwood so we were most interested in trying the Fluffy Optic cleaner head for hardwood. Most impressive for us out of all the amazing features of this vacuum is the green angled light! Wow! The laser shows every spec of dust, dirt, hair, or particle on the floor. You can see exactly what you are vacuuming and where you have cleaned. It works very well in daylight, but we have found that it’s even better at night with only a small light on in the room… the laser works even better at showing everything that needs to be vacuumed. The laser actually changes everything for us; we will no longer use a Swiffer or any other vacuum on the hardwood… Only this Dyson can show us what we need to clean. The Fluffy Optic attachment is soft and does not scratch wood, and the “fluffy” characteristic means that it is very quiet while rolling around. Carpet. The carpet attachment and overall performance on carpet is quite good, and certainly better than any other cordless vacuum we have used. The Digital Motorbar XL cleaner head does a great job at spinning and scrubbing the carpet, and it looks, sounds, and shows on the screen that the carpet is being vacuumed well. By the way, the little carpet we have is high pile carpet and we have shaggy rugs… these were no problem for this Dyson! On the downside, there is no LED on the carpet attachment; this is puzzling to me since most carpet vacuums or carpet attachments on the market have an LED light to help see in dark corners and under furniture. Noise Level. In general, this vacuum is very quiet, more so than any we have owned. When vacuuming hardwood, it is quiet enough to vacuum at night on the first floor while the family sleeps on the second floor. It is louder of course on carpet, but that is mostly due to the Motorbar cleaner head working to clean the carpet. Features. In addition to everything written above, I want to highlight a few other standout features. This Dyson can lay nearly flat when vacuuming, which means you can get under furniture really well. The built-in dusting and crevice tool is an amazing addition; no need to carry around an extra tool, or walk back to the storage closet to get the crevice tool because you need to reach a small area… The crevice tool is built-in and deploys very quickly to pick up anything you need in a tight spot. The combination tool does a great job on cloth upholstery when using the smooth pop-out head. The Hepa filter eliminates any smell from the air that comes out of the motor, and it traps viruses! Lastly, the LCD screen shows if there is any dust/dirt left in an area, and it provides a neat roll-up of everything picked up by size categories. My wife loves this feature, and she says that it is satisfying and makes her feel productive. The screen also shows the estimated battery life remaining, which is so convenient! Things I like: - It has a laser! The hardwood angled light is a game-changer for us… we will never use anything else on hardwood. Thank you Dyson! - It’s very light and maneuverable - It’s unbelievably quiet - It comes with two batteries and two charging cables - The LED screen shows what you vacuumed, so satisfying! It also shows battery life - It’s sleek and modern, with a cool color scheme - It can be wall mounted - It includes all the attachments you need - Excellent battery life! - Good suction on medium setting, and excellent suction on boost setting - The built-in crevice took is a great design feature Things I don’t like: - I wish the carpet cleaner head had an LED light so I could see in dark corners - I wish the attachment slots on the wall mount were spaced out more so that I could fit the Hair Screw tool and the Combination tool at the same time. Spacing only really allows one small tool and the wand to be stored at the same time. In practice, the two small tools and one large cleaner would be in storage most of the time. Overall, this is the best cordless vacuum we have ever owned, and it probably rivals the best plug-in vacuums from other brands. When considering all the features, capabilities, design, and performance, this vacuum is as close as you can get to a perfect vacuum system. Wow, we love it, and we feel that our home is cleaner and healthier from Hepa filtration, and visual confirmation from the green angled light and LED screen information. It is not cheap, but worth every dollar. We most highly recommend the Dyson Gen5outsize!

As the title says I shouldn’t be this excited about a vacuum but the Dyson Gen5Outsize feels like anything but a normal vacuum. To start with the Gen5Outsize has a very unique look with its color mix of royal purple, grey, silver Prussian Blue and copper which oddly works to help the machine stand out and at the same time fit in with my living area. Dyson has taken its time to create a machine that is well built and engineered it so that its small and compact yet offers a lot of comforts you didn’t know you needed. For instance while the Gen5Outsize feels heavy due to the battery there is a very soft cushion around the handle where your hand rest so that you don’t feel the weight of the vacuum while using it. Besides the Dyson looking like a piece of art its usability is amazing, the way your able to maneuver the vacuum is something you have to feel. The Gen5Outsize is a breeze to use which requires no force to push forward or having no issues when pulling back and the suction power is second to none. The suction power is so good that I found myself always having to switch from auto mode to economy when vacuuming my carpets. The Gen5Outsize has a bright colorful screen with 2 buttons for ease of use, one button is to turn the vacuum on and off and the other is to cycle through its settings. The Gen5outsize has a Piezo sensor which checks the size and counts the dust particles and adjust the section as need and the HEPA filtration traps even the smallest of particles including virus. While using the vacuum the Dyson shows how much run time is left for the battery and adjust as you change the modes, I was able to get about 40 mins per battery on auto mode and by having to batteries that totals roughly an hour and half which more than enough for any home. After your done using the vacuum the digital meter gives you the number of particles the dyson has cleaned and you might be shocked by what you see. The Gen5Outsize comes with everything you need 2 batteries, Fluffy Optic cleaner head , XL cleaner head, hair screw tool, Dusting tool, combination tool and wall hanging attachment along with an extra charger. All these tools are easy to adjust with a simple click release function. When using the Fluffy Optic cleaner head I was surprised to see how much dust was on the ground, I wish the laser light was on all of the tools. The no touch ben emptying is a breeze which pushed out all the dust in debris in one action without you having to dirty your hands and having the lifetime washable HEPA filter and Fluffy Optic roller makes the Dyson a must have. As I stated in the title I should not be this excited a vacuum but I am and for good reason.

Makes lot of noise and the vaccum part broken while using in a month or so. Dyson told it was due physical damage which is absurd even if its not.

As a proud owner of a long-haired Australian Shepherd whose hair manages to find its way into EVERY nook and cranny, finding a vacuum that can effectively remove it has been a constant struggle. However, the Dyson Gen5 Outsize proved to be the ultimate solution. From the moment I unboxed the vacuum, I was impressed by its sleek and modern design and the eco-friendly packaging. But the true beauty lies in its performance. This vacuum tackled our hardwood floors, rugs, and carpets, effortlessly removing even the most stubborn pet hair without hair wrapping around or getting stuck in the beater bar. One of my favorite features of this vacuum is its customizable suction settings. With the ability to fine-tune the suction power of both the motor and the Digital Motorbar XL cleaner head, I was able to achieve the perfect balance for cleaning our rugs. Previous vacuums either proved too powerful or too weak, but this vacuum allowed me to tailor the suction power to be just the right strength to clean our rugs without sucking them up into the vacuum and restricting airflow. Another improvement over previous models is the mechanism to empty the canister. In the past, I ended up having to wedge my hand into the canister to manually pull the last bits of dust-coated dog hair out that surrounded the filter. However, the Dyson Gen5 Outsize has simplified this process: the outside of the canister moves to release stuck dirt/hair/dust from around the filter, making emptying the debris an absolute breeze. This thoughtful enhancement saves time and ensures a more hygienic cleaning experience. The plethora of accessories was very welcomed. The inclusion of an extra battery and charger is a thoughtful addition. While the battery life is already phenomenal, having a spare battery provides peace of mind for larger cleaning jobs. Plus, the various cleaning heads included with the vacuum guarantee immaculate results on any surface I cleaned. The Fluffy Optic cleaning head was exceptionally great. I was unsure if I would end up using this head over the Digital Motorbar XL, but the green light on our hardwood floors revealed dust I hadn't previously noticed, and helped me better deep clean the surfaces. The Gen5 Outsize truly represents the pinnacle of innovation in this space. Its ability to effortlessly tackle pet hair, combined with the customizable suction settings and improved canister emptying mechanism, makes it a game-changer for pet owners and anyone seeking exceptional cleaning performance.

Overall this vacuum is very nice and I would recommend this product. Pros: -the tile floor tool is fantastic I love the light on it but also makes you want to pull everything out of your house to clean with it. -the oversized carpet head does a good job with area rugs -the 2 batteries are a nice touch but definitely why this model is pricey. -dust bin is a great size for a long haired and short haired dog -suction power is decent compared to the corded animal ball this replaced. -the auto suction adjust for heavier areas works well -the washable filter is a great feature and easy to detach/reattach -battery life is decent, not great but decent and having the spare battery is there if needed to finish up the house. -the weight is decent and after 45 mins, I am not worn out from cleaning Cons: -the 24" hose (bought separately) is a waste of money. You have to drag the base around with you and have zero distance for cleaning behind furniture or in the car. Controlling the base and cleaning is cumbersome without a decent hose length -because of the shortness of the hose it makes it hard for any kind of reach to use the other attachments. -battery life: for everyday clean up this works well. The 270 mins is a far stretch for them to say. Perhaps on the lowest setting but on the med setting it gives out about 45 mins with a couple "high" bursts in there. -the rug attachment lacks the ability to be pushed forward while operating without shutting down. Pulling the vacuum backwards works fine but on a medium area rug, I'm not sure why I can't push this vacuum forward without it shutting down. The feel of this vacuum is it does about 85% of what a plug in vacuum would do and it does that 85% well. The other 15% Dyson has missed the mark with the lack of a decent length hose and of course steering the market into a battery only line of vacuums at a 20% unit mark up.

I was not prepared for how impressed I’d be with this vacuum. It’s so good at cleaning (and highlighting) the messes in my house that I’m constantly thinking about it now. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing for me, but Dyson knocked it out of the park with this one. I was a little surprised at just how big this thing is. Heavy as well. It’s still much smaller and lighter than a bulky upright vacuum, but especially coming from my previous Samsung cordless vacuum this thing is a beast. True to the Outsize name, you get an extra-wide cleaning head and an extra large canister. You also get a good amount of attachments and an extra battery included in the box and the included wall mount has a spot where you can run the power adapter so the vacuum charges while it’s docked. I do wish they had included a little stand or something to hold all of these accessories and while the wall mount does have 2 slots for holding attachments it only fits the combo tool; the other ones are too bulky. My house is me, my wife and 2 dogs. 1 dog sheds and the other doesn’t. I started on the main floor of my house, which is mostly hardwood, using the ‘Fluffy Optic’ attachment, which is main for hardwood floors and has a built-in green light that will highlight every little spec on your floor. It was at this point that I had to come to grips with just how much my one dog sheds. That green light sees EVERYTHING. Every hair, every spec of dust, every drop of paint we thought we had cleaned up. I really didn’t even intend to do a full house cleaning at that point. I was mainly just testing it out, but I had to get everything clean after I saw that. This is the kind of vacuum Mr. Monk would buy. The suction power is as good as anything I’ve experienced on both corded and cordless vacuums and it cleans hardwood and carpet with no problems at all. The default setting the vacuum starts on seems to adjust intelligently to the type of floor it’s on and I didn’t really find myself reaching for the controls to increase or decrease power as it more or less just handled that on its own. As big as the vacuum is, I still feel like it’s pretty easy to handle and carry around. As a test we ran our old cordless vacuum across our area rug once and then made a second pass at it with the Dyson and filled up a quarter of the canister. The display has a nice little readout of everything it picked up during your vacuum and the size of all the different particles it picked up, which is nice even if I’m not sure what I’m going to do with that information. The canister empties via a nice little release lever at the top that reduces the potential interaction with all the dust you picked up, but in order to empty it you do have to remove all of the attachments first, which is kind of annoying. The stated running time is “up to” 140 minutes using both of the included batteries, but this number seems very optimistic and is probably based on the lowest power setting and the lightest floors. I think a more realistic number is 25-40 minutes per battery, which is still more than enough time for me to clean my 1800 sq ft house, usually on a single battery. You do get 2 power adapters so you can charge up both batteries at the same time, though again I wish there was some kind of dock/holder for the extra battery and accessories. As crazy expensive as this thing is, I think it might be worth it for the kind of job it does. For all the minor quibbles I have, they fade away as soon as I start using it. I might finally get rid of my big bulky corded Shark vacuum now.

By far this is the most powerful suction I have seen in a cordless vacuum. This Dyson Gen 5 Outsize is a luxury item, but a much needed item for my household. The vacuum is easy to operate with one hand and moves across the floor surfaces efficiently and smoothly. There are 2 batteries included which makes this a great vacuum for large tasks in our household. The 2 separate batteries can give a maximum output of 140 minutes when set on the lowest eco setting. Plenty of time and power to get the house vacuumed up. The smart sensors built into the vacuum allow for simple operation by the operator. The Dyson will adjust suction based on how much dust and debris it's sensing on the floor surface. All I have to do is keep moving the vacuum to different areas, and the Dyson will power up or power down on its suction level in a way that ensures a powerful clean. I'm loving the built-in visual display on the handle which shows how much dirt/debris/dust you're picking up and what size items they are. This Dyson Gen 5 Outsize is easier to use than my previous Dyson, because I love the one button operation and you're up and running. No need to keep a trigger button depressed the whole time. The feature that blew me away with this vacuum is the illumination technology with the green light, as it visibly shows me all of the small dirt and debris on my floor. This light technology is on the fluffy optic head and I trust this fluffy head attachment on my hardwood or laminate flooring. Included with your Dyson Gen 5 Outsize is a plethora of useful attachments to ensure a full and thorough clean of your space. Fluffy optic head attachment with the illumination is a mind blowing feature. There is also the digital motorbar XL head attachment which I use on my carpeted floors. This one offers a strong suction and wide path to vacuum and the detangling feature is very nice. The HEPA filtration is truly amazing as it's a contained system that doesn't release any of the dust and dirt back into my home air. You'll find the wall dock, chargers, batteries. There is a hair screw tool which is ideal for getting into small spaces like a set of stairs, car floor/seats, couch, and also for pet areas. The combination tool is cleverly built into the shaft of the main XL head attachment. And lastly there is a dust and crevice tool which allows me to get into narrower and tighter spaces. Overall this vacuum is like none other. It's a beautiful vacuum to look at and it does what it's meant to do in extraordinary fashion. I feel as if my house is truly clean after using this and there isn't any left over dust/debris left behind. The ergonomics and usefulness of this Dyson Gen 5 Outsize makes this a must have vacuum for it's mobility and suction power.

I upgraded my dyson v8 to the dyson gen5 oversized and i felt the upgrade .. it was worth it even it’s a bit costly because you get what you pay for .. sucking power is literally like a corded vacuum .. battery life is pretty long specially with the auto mode that change the sucking power automatically according to the floor type make it last long ..it comes with another battery but i never used it yet … the bin size feels big first but it’s helpful to not have to keep going back and forth to empty it .. generally its a great machine to own .. 1 point to consider maybe whiches the vacuum is a bit heavy for the oversized model so if weight is a problem just get the regular gen5 .

Bought this vac specifically to use on vinyl plank floors. It is excellent for this purpose as the rotary brush is gentle on the floors and it has a laser-like light that makes dust and fuzz balls standout. Like that it is cordless with a reasonably quiet motor. The suction is very powerful, you can see debris being pulled towards the wand as you go. This product is so well designed and manufactured. The pieces fit together well and functionality is intuitive and logical. Battery life has not been an issue, you get two batteries in the kit. One small negative, the product is a little on the heavy side, perhaps age (60+) is catching up with me. This was the most expensive vacuum cleaner I have ever bought, but it is by far the best one I’ve ever used.

This is my first Dyson model. I was deciding between this and the v15, but went with the new gen5 due to the newer stronger suction motor as well as lasting for years to come. I decided on the outsize model because I have 2 Golden Retrievers that shed daily and bring in dirt and outside elements from being in the park everyday. This thing cuts my cleaning time in half. I can use the fluffy head to get single pieces of hair on the hardwood and switch to carpet head to clean there. The hardwood floors and carpet definitely look a lot cleaner than when I was cleaning before. The two batteries are an added bonus as the Medium / Auto cuts the run time in half. The maneuverability is great and can get in hard to reach areas and easily under furniture if you lean down enough. Cons: The only issue I have with this is the weight. I am not sure how it is on the regular model, but on the outsize it is definitely top heavy. Even with the battery attached, it still wants to lean forward so you have to use forearm muscles to hold it back. The first day vacuuming my forearm definitely felt a little sore (I’ve been heavy lifting for about for 6 years). Dusting is definitely a 2 hand job with this. It can be done one handed but you will be fatigued quickly. It is 10 pounds so it is weighty. Suggestions: If you want a lighter cleaning machine get the regular gen5 or go with the v15. If you want the newest most powerful suction vacuum, get the gen5.

This vacuum replaced my upright shark and far exceeds it with the level of clean I get. People might complain that its “heavy” and while it might be heavier than other stick vacuums, its much lighter than my upright, making doing stairs a breeze. Each battery lasts about 30-45 minutes depending on your floor type. Carpet seems to get around 20-25 minutes, while hardwood is more like 40-45 minutes. I have hardwood throughout with rugs. The green laser also highlights what looks like clean floors, all the dirt and hair hiding! We have a Duck Toller Retreiver who sheds a ton of hair and no problem picking it all up. Cannister is also large enough where I need to empty it only two times. Didnt want to get the stick vacuums where I constantly needed to empty and charge the battery. Also being cordless makes it super convenient without having to unplug and plug it it or getting the cord stuck

Impressive machine, upgrading from a 10 year old Dyson Ball Animal corded vac, I was surprised and how much better it was. The Detect notification of the different particle sizes and the automatic increase in suction worked well, and is gratifying to watch. The outsize is a bit hefty for a cordless but totally worth it for the bin capacity and the 2nd battery. Only reason not 5 stars was the dumb design (and useless support) for the wall mount. My front plate came locked into place with the back plate, and was stupidly difficult to get apart to be able to install it... plus, if i did, there would likely be no way to get it back off the wall if i ever move. Seems to be a known issue based on the number of forums and youtubes about it, can't emphasize enough how useless support was. Ended up getting them apart by holding the backplate with pliers and whacking the front plate against the floor a few times, bought a separate stand instead of daring hang it on the wall.

I had Dyson animal ball vacuum cleaner before and although it was good it wasn’t giving the mobility and comfort due to the weight of product. This vacuum really delivered the power of animal ball suction with less than half of weight. I am so pleased with the extra battery and the digital button that stays on without trigger(like old v10 model) with three different types of suction power without needing to drag heavy ball upright cord vacuum. It leaves my floor, rugs, and velvet furniture dust and hair free.

I was hesitant to purchase cordless. I have 4 (sometimes 5) heavy shedding dogs, and 4 cats. I have kids that are in and out all day. I did not think I would find a cordless that could keep up with my menagerie. I have used this Dyson twice a day every day and the batteries are exceptional. I can get the whole house done and still spot clean for multiple days on one charge. The air cleaner is not needing filter changes as often since my purchase of this vacuum. The larger bin and the on off button are fabulous! I tried the previous generation and the trigger with the weight of the vacuum really hurt my wrist. This model is the perfect combination of everything and keeps up with ALL the messes!

I am truly impressed with this vacuum! I own the Dyson absolute V10 and I have always considered it an OK option for light cleaning. When I am doing a deep clean there is no substitute for my miele canister vac. I finally have something that can compare with my Miele! The Dyson Gen5 outsize is an impressive machine. It is plastic and typically I consider that a negative, but it makes up for that in all the ways that count. I have 4 Shetland sheepdogs that sprinkle sheltie floof wherever they go, not to mention all of the dried leaves and dirt that sticks to their fur. I cleaned the house and almost filled the entire bin in my first go, but no problem there is a second battery so I finished the job. My amazement came with the hard floor attachment that shines a green light on the floor ahead. I could see every grain of sand and of course lots of sheltie hair. I used the automatic setting so the suction increased and decreased according to how much dirt the light detected. There is also the option to choose the speed. The motorized attachment is wide and does well on rugs. I rarely say this, but this is actually worth the high price.

I was dubious about the power and battery life, but it easily cleans my 1800 sq ft home with one and a half batteries (it comes with two, so one can always be charging). The laser used on the bare floors is horrifying only because it shows how dirty my floors are. It’s easy to use it as a guide to clean. The suction is truly amazing. Most advanced in a Dyson since I’ve owned them. The screw tool for pet hair isn’t the most powerful, but still useful. Last, it’s a bit heavy, but manageable.

Works great, purchase another brand and as not nearly as great as this one. The power is excellent, I'm confident i am picking up all dirt.

Outstanding. Nothing really compares w a Dyson. You may have issues with the price-ITS A LOT!! That being said, it beats all competitors in every respect: power, battery, durability, ease of use. Yes, you can get a Shark for under $500, and the comparable Dyson is more than $1200, it is worth it.

It’s so much more powerful than my old Dyson Outsize Absolute! I LOVE that you don’t have to press and hold on a trigger to power on the vacuum, that’s used to be a pain in the butt! This has the power button now, and I love that it tells you how many of the germs and particles you pick up!! Powerful, battery lasts longer, and I can’t say enough good things about this!!

Excellent cordless vacuum..has extra battery each 70 minutes running time, just slightly heavy do to larger dust bin..would of like more accessories and stand for high price.. and would of like 5yr warranty like they have on there corded vacuum. but I am happy with performance.
