Dyson V11 Outsize (386472-01)

How long does the battery last on different power modes?

The V11 Outsize provides up to 60 minutes runtime on eco mode, which is suitable for most cleaning tasks. Medium mode delivers approximately 30 minutes, whilst boost mode provides around 12 minutes of maximum suction power. The LCD screen displays remaining runtime in real-time, allowing you to plan your cleaning sessions effectively.

What makes the cleaning head 25% wider than standard models?

The Outsize cleaning head measures significantly wider than the standard V11, covering more floor area with each pass. This reduces cleaning time and physical effort, particularly beneficial for large rooms or open-plan spaces. The wider head maintains the same effective suction distribution across the entire width.

How much more debris does the larger dust tank hold?

The 150% larger tank capacity means you can clean for longer periods without emptying. This is particularly useful for pet owners, large households, or when cleaning multiple rooms in one session. The hygienic point-and-shoot emptying mechanism makes disposal quick and mess-free when the tank is full.

Does the vacuum work effectively on both carpets and hard floors?

Yes, the intelligent floor adaptation automatically detects surface types and adjusts suction power accordingly. Hard floors receive gentle but effective cleaning to prevent scattering debris, whilst carpets get maximum power for deep cleaning. The cleaner head design works effectively across all common household flooring types.

What maintenance does the vacuum require?

Regular maintenance includes emptying the dust tank when full, washing the filter monthly under cold water and checking for blockages. The LCD screen provides maintenance reminders and alerts. The cyclone assembly and other components are designed for easy access and cleaning without requiring special tools.

How heavy is the vacuum and is it suitable for stairs?

At 3.5kg, the V11 Outsize is heavier than smaller cordless models but still manageable for most users. The weight is balanced for comfortable handling, though some users with wrist or shoulder issues may find extended use challenging. The cordless design makes stair cleaning possible, though the weight should be considered.

What attachments are included with the vacuum?

The V11 Outsize comes with the main cleaning head and battery. Additional attachments like crevice tools, dusting brushes and mini motorised heads are typically sold separately. Check the specific package contents as configurations may vary between retailers and promotional offers.

How does the cyclone technology improve cleaning performance?

The 18 cyclones generate centrifugal forces over 79,000g, creating powerful separation of particles from airflow. This prevents the filter from clogging quickly and maintains consistent suction throughout cleaning. The technology effectively captures fine particles including allergens and pollen that single-cyclone systems often miss.
