#Dyson #Stickvacuum #cleaning
Across the board the Dyson Gen5 Outsize is a fantastic performer. In our cleaning tests, it removed 98.1% of debris, had practically no hair tangle, and removed nearly all of the pet fur. Runtimes are long and can be doubled thanks to the inclusion of an extra battery. While its XL size makes it a little heavier, it adds in dust bin capacity and increased cleaning head width. The Outsize is completely sealed, has an auto mode, and built-in crevice tool for easy access. It has an incredibly high asking price, especially for a stick vacuum. But if you need the absolute best, then the Gen5 Outsize is an easy recommendation.

I love how detailed your testing is and I love even more your presentation of information. You have earned yourself a subscriber

[@ModernCastle]

Thanks so much, David! Glad you enjoyed the video and welcome!

[@ellieem4716]

I would love to see a test on pet hair that is more embedded into the carpet, since that's realistic. I don't understand why every test I see done is shown with pet hair or other hair just put on top of the carpet in clumps, which is not all all the issue pet owners deal with. But overall, good video with lots of info on this vacuum. Thank you!

When I got my Dyson 12 it worked so good It filled the chamber rather quickly and Dyson did your homework on this by increasing the capacity. which decreases your emptying cycles anyway great review man… Keep on rocking

[@ModernCastle]

Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@MatHanley]

My hoover broke today and was starting to look at the Dyson Cordless range to replace the wired upright I've had for 5 years... So this is well timed.

[@ModernCastle]

Nice! Glad it was helpful.

[@Tomatocanjoe]

Just bought this today

[@ModernCastle]

Nice! Hopefully it's a good fit for you.

Do you know if the wall dock from a V11 will fit this Gen5 Outsize model or will I need to remove the old V11 wall dock and install this new one?

[@ModernCastle]

It will not fit. You the specific gen5 wall dock.

[@mdarks4117]

I’ve been considering this and the gen5 v15. Is the extra wight quite noticeable while using as a hand held for long periods?

[@ModernCastle]

It's definitely noticeable.

[@mdarks4117]

Though it might. Probably the Gen5 V15 is the way to go. Bit longer run time & more emptying

[@GOLFADDICT65]

i am racking my brain trying to choose a Dyson stick vacuum...narrowed it down to Gen5 outsize 1399 / Gen5 1199 / V15 detect 999 thats in canadian funds........i notice online there are less attachments available to the Gen5 line compared to the V15....the cleaning kit is wanted but only the V15 can get it between the 3 vacuums i am pondering.....we are 58 years old with aging joints...lol..plus we have a dog....wanna use it for house and car...mostly hardwood floors except one room plus there are various area rugs.....the 2 floors are a total of about 2500 sq ft....at the end of the day i would also like an extra battery...honestly which would you recommend ?....we also thought about the V12 but the storage bin seems pretty small plus we would like more power....thx for your reviews....cheers from Canada

[@ModernCastle]

If money is no object I would go with the Gen5 Outsize in your case. A house that size will benefit from the larger bin, battery, cleaning head, and run time. The others will work fine as well, but the Outsize larger size makes a lot of sense for your situation.

[@Ecksterphono]

The problem I see with the gen 5 outsize, it doesn't have the torque drive digital motorbar The torque drive is good for carpeted stairs, however the conventional digital motor bar doesn't seem to have the oomph when it comes to cleaning carpeted stairs. Like my V11 absolute pro and some V15s. Thats another thing that the gen5 detect lacks is enough oomph for carpeted stairs.

[@ryantownsend5008]

Is there a difference between the gen5outsize vs gen5outsize absolute?

[@ModernCastle]

Outside has a larger cleaning head, larger bin, extra battery, and a couple of different accessories.

[@kittypaws4380]

I just bought the v15 and now I'm realizing i want the gen5outsize. I wish there was a quick way to get rid of my v15 so i could purchase this instead.

[@ModernCastle]

Are you still within the return window?

[@kittypaws4380]

​@ModernCastle I don't believe so, dyson says I purchased in April when it was September 25th or 29th I believe

[@ModernCastle]

@@kittypaws4380 Ah, that's a bummer. You could always try to resell it on Ebay?

[@kittypaws4380]

@@ModernCastle Yeah I've had it listed for quite a while, no ones biting just had 2 people watch it and that's all.

[@WizmanG1]

Not a bad review but you left out the most basic and fundamental part, how to you charge it? Though this seems like a trivial question, for those looking to potentially purchase one, knowing whether or not you can charge the battery without it being installed in the vacuum is important information.

[@ModernCastle]

You can charge it with the batter inside or just lying on the counter. There's a basic charging pin port on the battery. Dyson's click in battery system allows you to put the battery wherever you want.

2:14 the soft roller brush is worse at everything except eating larger debris like Cheerios for testing used by KZbinrs. Large debris should be picked up or lay a carpet roller brush on top of the debris. The soft roller brush is just a recent thing that should be abandoned by this industry

[@elisevarner2143]

What do they say the soft roller brush is good for?

[@zodiacfml]

@@elisevarner2143 It is for hard floors but can't be used on carpet. the carpet roller brush can be used on both floor types.

[@elisevarner2143]

Okay, so you are saying this soft roller brush is really no good on hard floors though?
