Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Dyson Outsize is a pretty unique product. Dyson’s all-in attempt at a cordless vacuum to replace the corded legacy of their products. It’s design goals are to be as large and powerful as a corded vacuum, while providing the flexibility of use that cutting the cord provides. Dyson, famous for its engineering, doesn't disappoint on the primary points. First of all, the vacuum is shipped partially charged, but doesn’t take too long to charge up. Nicely the included accessories include not just one charger, but two - one for each battery. That’s the other great point, there are two batteries. The intention here is to provide the necessary runtime to clean an entire house. And clean you will - with one battery lasting at least 25 minutes - even when the brush roller is engaged. Essentially I would expect a minimum of 45 minutes of hard sweeping on the medium setting, which is quite effective. Dyson claims up to 120 minutes of runtime, which is on the optimistic side, but not far off. Well over 100 minutes is attainable on the medium setting. What makes battery life super easy to gauge is a power readout in runtime of minutes and seconds. This displays on a small circular screen as you use the vacuum with a pretty accurate countdown of how much runtime is left with the battery. Of course due to the sensors found in the power head, the vacuum will automatically adjust the brush depending on if it senses carpet or hard floors. This drastically changes the runtime, so be sure to watch when switching floors. The button found below the screen will let you choose different levels of power, ranging from Eco, Medium or Boost. Suction is definitely on par with stronger vacuums on medium. The boost mode is helpful and really deep cleans, but obviously affects battery life. I found it helpful when cleaning up a larger spill of smaller dry food. Other accessories include the hair tool w/ anti-tangle screw design, the combo tool, crevice tool, dirt brush, wand clip, docking station, chargers, and another dusting brush. You won’t want for accessories - Dyson includes a great selection. It really makes the vacuum a more versatile tool. Things I didn’t think about at first, like being able to throw on the crevice tool and hitting the car seats in the garage become a highlight of a cordless vacuum. One of the more interesting tricks the Dyson design has up its sleeve is the dirt bin and release. It’s designed to avoid having to put your hand in the garbage when emptying the dustbin. All you need to do is push the lever down and it will open the bottom to dump out. This is handy, and avoids the usual messes that other trigger or spring loaded mechanisms can create. The downside is that the lever only releases the latch and the bin’s bottom needs to be reset manually - meaning you still touch the bottom of the dust bin to relock it. This isn’t the end of the world, but perhaps an engineering suggestion to find a way to open and close the bin with the lever avoiding having to get your hands directly involved. Either way, it’s a convenient feature. Another great feature of the Dyson is the full size dustbin and head. This vacuum is meant to replace a full size vacuum, and comes equipped with a power head that is about 13” wide and a dust bin that is pretty equivalent to a full vac. These two things mean that floors are easier to maintain and coupled with the excellent runtime, mean you can clean your whole house easily. Previously I used a Shark vac, and while the smaller head made certain areas easier to clean, it had no ability to stand up to the capacity, runtime, and ease of use from the Dyson. Beyond the features, the Dyson Outsize has a great filter that is washable. You simply twist the filter housing (located on the top of the vacuum surrounding the screen) and pull. The filter itself rinses in water. Just allow it to dry for 24h and the filter is ready to go again. The dust bin, and multiple brushes are also washable, making this a very easily maintained machine. Dyson is proud of the filtration on this model, explaining that its cleaner air than what you breathe. Color me a bit skeptical to hook my gas mask to the vacuum’s exhaust, but I appreciate the attention to filtering in a house with allergy sufferers. The biggest criticism I have for the Dyson is the trigger. While the concept of maintaining a battery vac’s life by making it hard to accidentally leave on is a good idea in theory, in practice my hands literally hurt after 15 minutes of vacuuming. While the handle is ergonomic enough, the constant pressure required by my index finger meant my hand was starting to cramp less than half way through the battery. There’s no ‘cruise control’ feature, so you have to swap hands or fingers to keep using the vacuum. I’m sure my hand will get used to it over time, but initially I’m a bit annoyed during longer cleanings. Nothing beats the ease of use and quick work that a cordless vacuum provides. In the past several years hi powered lithium batteries and improved electric motor technology have allowed vacuums to get more powerful. The Dyson Outsize is a great example and provides some intense cleaning power, longevity, maintainability, and capacity to the table. Despite the annoying trigger, this vacuum lasts a long time on battery and cleans as well as a full size vac. This is replacing my traditional corded vacuum, and is very easy to use. It’s not cheap, but it’s a well designed heavy duty product with all the extras included. Highly recommended!

Amazing product. Value for money.. Value for money.. Value for money.. Value for money.

I love this Dyson. As a homeowner with multiple dogs, this is great. I had swept my floors the day before this arrived, used this the next day and was amazed at how much dust/hair/etc was still on the floor. Buy it!

One staff member stayed with me in general discussion re: vacuums admitting he knew very little but another team member was on their way who was. Kept me interested and was funny. When other left he thanked me for my time and put me in good hands. New team member knew lots, asked good questions regarding my needs, recommended a couple of hairy pet versions from which I made my pick. Then, together we found where stock person hid boxes behind others and I was on my way to checkout. Same person assisted with this process and I found it very easy and quick. Great job team! Vacuum was a great choice and I was amazed at how much dirt/dust my old vacuum left behind. Sounds funny but I look forward to using till the canister on my Dyson Overboard looks empty when I use it. Lol

We've had the Dyson v7 for a few years and this new one is better by a mile. It's ability to change based on the floor is great when vacuuming the carpets and it picks up all our dogs hair! Very Satisfied

I was worried about paying so much for a vacuum, but with 2 dogs (including a Golden Retriever) this vacuum has been worth every penny!!!! I love this vacuum more than someone should love a vacuum!

This is my 2nd Dyson vacuum, and it is awesome! Wanted an upgrade and got it with this machine. Long battery life allows me to clean my entire home. The old one still works great, passed it on to my son.

I’m 100% satisfied. I’ve moved from conventional to robo to cordless and this has pleased me the most. New one has better capacity and with 2 batteries, up to 2 hours of vacuuming.

Amazing when I first bought it, but now pieces are falling off, clogs all the time and hardly sucks like it used too. For a vacuum as expensive as this was would expect a far longer life span. Not worth the price, buy something cheaper and don't make my mistake.

This is the best vacuum they have made. I upgraded from the V8. The auto sensing is amazing. The battery life is so much better going from 20 mins to 45 mins is amazing. And you get a second battery pack.

Can’t believe I didn’t by this earlier. The batteries have plenty of life to vacuum 3000 sqft home. The auto adjustment between tile and carpet is great feature.

I want to move my Dyson but the battery does super fast. It does pick up great when on Boost but like I said the battery does fast and if you need a part on warranty like I do, forget it because it’s not in stock and you’ll never get it!

We could not have gotten this at a better time. We have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and they are shedding big time right now. I had high hopes for this product as it’s a Dyson and we’ve had great experiences with their products in the past, and since the Outsize is cordless we were hoping for the best of both worlds. Well, I’ll sum it up by saying this: This vacuum delivered! Regarding setup, it was very intuitive. As I’ve seen with past Dyson products there were picture diagrams with arrows, etc., which helped in putting the device together including the attachments and mounting the charging unit. I mounted the charging unit in a discreet corner of our laundry room so it takes up no floor space and is completely out of the way (unlike our last vacuum). As for using the product, my first impression was exactly what I had hoped for, this vacuum is a game-changer. Having no chord is truly liberating! It is incredibly easy to use, very light and maneuverable, and the suction power is amazing. It works great on hardwoods and glides along nicely, and in our house it transitions well into the carpeted rooms. We have a few different pile lengths of carpet in our home. On our Berber and low-pile carpet the vacuum again pulls itself along with little to no effort.. We have a medium pile in the bedroom which causes a little more resistance so gotta kind of help push the vacuum a bit on this, but still its quite easy to maneuver and it sucks the dog hair right out of it. The canister is very large and did not require emptying until the entire home was vacuumed (and that’s a lot of dog hair!). We also used the hair tool that has kind of a large screw-type rotator thingy, and again it worked amazingly at sucking up our dog’s hair from various pieces of furniture. And I was amazed at how clean the hair tool was after using it, no hairs stuck in the tool at all like I’ve often seen with other dog hair attachment tools where you gotta clean it off the brushes. All the hair was in the canister and none on the hair tool screw, pretty amazing. But probably the thing I like best about it is how easy it makes vacuuming stairs. We have several flights of carpeted stairs in our home and compared to our corded Dyson this device makes vacuuming stairs quick and easy since you don’t have to mess with the cord. Now I no longer dread vacuuming the stairs! A couple other things I really like about it, the main base unit can either have the extension connected to it then add the attachments to the extension, or for tighter spaces just connect the attachments directly to the base unit/canister. This makes it very versatile for using in your car, etc. One thing to keep in mind however, which I did not realize until after I did it, you MUST remove any attachment from the canister before hitting the ‘empty’ button otherwise it will get stuck on whatever is attached which makes it difficult to back it off of there. According to Dyson, the two included batteries provide 120 minutes of run time. Its nice to have the second battery but I think its kind of overkill. Although we have a pretty large house I do not foresee me or my wife vacuuming for 2 hours straight. One battery that lasts an hour is probably plenty for our purposes, but its nice to have a backup just in case. And I love that once you’re done just put it back on the charging unit for storage and it’ll be ready to go next time you need it. Overall, yeah, its an amazing vacuum cleaner. Worth every penny for its versatility, power, convenience, and NO CORD!

Glides over the floors. Strong suction for as long as I need it to run. The most exciting part is my husband will actually grab it without asking him to if something is on the floor!

This is an excellent vacuum, cannot believe how much power this handheld outputs. Almost on par with the upright vacuum I have from Dyson. Highly recommend, watch when they are on sale.

Perfect for tile floors and has lots of power! Was completely amazed at the power it has to pick up obvious and not so obvious soil in very thick pile carpeting!!

Been using for about a month and no problems. Makes vacuuming regularly less of a hassle and seems like it will hold up for a while. It comes with plenty of accessories too.

This is a fantastic cordless vacuum! The suction is amazing. I have long haired dogs, and this picks up their hair from both carpets and tile floors very efficiently.

Love this vacuum! I was able to vacuum my entire house on one battery! Upstairs and downstairs. Plus it came with 2 batteries and two chargers! Who does that?

We have been wanting this for a while and was waiting for the deal. This is an amazing vacuum. Super powerful. If you can afford it, you should buy this.
