Our Verdict

Dyson V11

Dyson Outsize

The Dyson V11 is a little more versatile than the Dyson Outsize. The V11 is easier to maintain and maneuver, is slightly more portable, and delivers superior performance on low-pile carpets. Meanwhile, the Outsize has a larger dirt compartment that doesn't need to be emptied as often and has a longer total runtime thanks to its extra battery. It also comes with a larger selection of tools and accessories.
