Dyson Gen5 Outsize Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Verdict

The Dyson Gen5 Outsize is a powerhouse built for big homes, offering enormous runtime from two batteries, strong cleaning, and great hair pickup, but its heavy weight and premium price make it best for users who truly need the extra capacity and long sessions.

Pros

  • Battery & Charging 2 reviews 5.0
    An extra battery effectively doubles runtime and, in this review, the Gen5 Outsize is highlighted as the best overall for battery performance thanks to its two-pack setup and extended cleaning sessions.
  • Bin & Bag 1 review 5.0
  • Filtration / Dust Containment 1 review 5.0
  • Pet-Ready Features 1 review 5.0
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) 1 review 5.0
    Eco-mode runtimes can exceed 85 minutes on a single pack and over 159 minutes with both batteries, with auto mode on carpet still surpassing 50 minutes, making the Gen5 Outsize exceptional for long cleaning sessions.
  • Suction & Airflow 2 reviews 4.8
    The Gen5 Outsize delivers top-tier suction and airflow with debris removal in the high 90s by weight, giving it flagship-level cleaning performance that matches the best cordless sticks across common floor types.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 2 reviews 4.5
    Hair-wrap is generally not a problem on the Gen5 Outsize’s brush, even with long strands, though the reviewer notes some accumulation around axle gaps at the sides.
  • Controls & UI 1 review 4.5
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 1 review 4.5
    The Gen5 Outsize is counted among Dysons best hard-floor performers, pairing strong airflow with modern heads to lift fine surface dust effectively across large areas.

Cons

  • Price & Value 2 reviews 3.3
    With a premium price but massive capacity and runtime, the Gen5 Outsize offers strong value mainly for large homes or users who truly need very long cleaning sessions rather than for typical households.
  • Weight 1 review 2.0
    As one of the heaviest cordless Dysons at over five pounds in handheld mode, the Gen5 Outsize can feel bulky compared to lighter models, especially for extended above-floor work.
