Dyson V11 Outsize

Verdict

The Dyson V11 Outsize is a flagship cordless vacuum with class-leading power, deep carpet performance, and outstanding battery life, ideal for larger homes and demanding cleanups. Its huge bin, wide head, and rich set of tools make whole-home cleaning fast and convenient, though the heavy weight, loud max mode, and very high price mean it is best suited to buyers who prioritize performance over nimbleness and budget.
