🧪 Performance
When evaluating the performance of any of these Dysons we look at a combination of factors:
- Cleaning Performance — how well it cleaned a mix of debris on three different floor types
- Motor Performance — how strong is the suction
Cleaning Performance
These cleaning tests are designed to test a vacuum’s full range of cleaning performance, from large debris to small. We perform a total of 12 debris tests, using four different flooring types and four types of debris.
Test | V15 | Outsize | V11 | V10 | V8 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hardwood | 100% | 99% | 99% | 100% | 89% |
Low Pile Carpet | 99% | 99% | 100% | 99% | 99% |
High Pile Carpet | 99% | 100% | 99% | 99% | 98% |
We test on engineered hardwoods, low pile carpet, and high pile carpet. The scores below indicate an average score across all flooring types, by model.

The performance of the V15 Detect was simply fantastic, flawless on hardwood floors and also great for carpet. In addition, the laser light combined with onboard particle sensors were both really cool features to see exactly what I was cleaning.
Because it generates so much suction power, depending on carpet / debris type, you might not always be able to use the highest suction power. However, having the variable suction modes solves for this.

Dyson Outsize Performance
Hardwoods

Low Pile Carpet
99%
High Pile Carpet
99%
Overall performance on the Outsize was excellent. It’s biggest issue is that it’s capable of too much suction. As a result, depending on your carpet type and the debris you’re cleaning you may need to raise / lower the gate (on the cleaning head) and adjust suction strength.
During our initial test we ran on Boost mode, which created so much suction that it pushed cereal forward instead of removing it.
We elected to re-run to test modifying the suction level, gates, and our physical approach to cleaning, all of which resulted in a near flawless cleaning performance.

Dyson V11 Performance
Hardwoods
99%
Low Pile Carpet
100%
High Pile Carpet
99%
The Dyson V11 had great results during our cleaning tests and it captured nearly 100% of debris from all floor types.
We ran all tests with the High Torque cleaning head. Even on hardwood floors, the High Torque cleaner head was able to get over the top of cereal and avoid flinging lighter debris all over the lane.

Dyson V10 Cleaning Performance
Hardwoods
99%
Low Pile Carpet
99%
High Pile Carpet
100%
With the V10, we saw pretty consistent results relative to what we saw with the V11. The performance was good on all floor types and against all debris types we tested—overall solid performer.
We tested the V10 Absolute in our review, which includes both the Torque Drive cleaner head and the Fluffy soft roller head. Having the Fluffy cleaning head really does make a notable difference on hard surface flooring. It’s better at getting on top of large debris, and also protecting more delicate floors.

Dyson V8 Cleaning Performance
Hardwoods
89%
Low Pile Carpet
99%
High Pile Carpet
98%
The performance of the V8 was solid on low pile and high pile carpet and hit a few minor snags when cleaning large debris from hardwoods.
Similar to the Outsize, the cleaning head just wasn’t able to get on top of the debris on hardwoods and it only cleaned 58% of the cereal we dropped.
To effectively clean large debris on hardwoods, you would likely want to to go with a version of the V8 that includes the Fluffy soft roller head or simply buy a standalone version.

Run Time Tests
While Dyson provides an estimated run time for each vacuum, that doesn’t always reflect real world performance.
We tested each Dyson vacuum to get a more exact run time. Tests were completed using all available suction levels and using the primary multi-surface cleaning head.
Dyson V15
- Eco: 68:30
- Auto: 45:30
- Boost: 8:55
Dyson Outsize
- Eco: 81:05
- Auto: 48:05
- Boost: 7:15
Dyson V11
- Eco: 82:45
- Auto: 47:40
- Boost: 7:30
Dyson V10
- Low: 49:40
- Medium: 26:50
- Boost: 5:30
Dyson V8
- Normal: 31:40
- Max: 8:20
Motor Performance
Each motor spins well over 100K RPMs, which would be more than sufficient for most cleaning tasks.
The V10, V11, Outsize, and V15 all spin at up to 125,000 rpm and the V8 caps off at 110,000 rpm.
More RPM (revolutions per minute) equates to stronger suction, consistent suction, and improved overall cleaning performance.
How do they clean?
All of these cordless stick vacuums have a similar approach to how they clean. They each use cyclone systems to create fade-free suction power.
The V8 has a two-tier, 15-cyclone system that uses the power of cyclonic centrifuge to spin dirt, dust, and debris—collecting particles as small as 0.3 microns.
In comparison, the V10, V11, and V15 models all use a two-tier, 14-cyclone system.
The cyclones are also reoriented to be in-line with the dust bin, extension wand, and cleaning head, helping to produce better airflow and stronger suction.
The Dyson Outsize steps up to 18 cyclones, but as we saw in the performance tests…more cyclones doesn’t necessarily mean more suction (V15 has 230 AW of suction vs. Outsize’s 220 AW).
Moreover, there is definitely a point of diminishing returns on suction power vs. what it’s capable of cleaning. At a certain point enough is enough. Based on our tests, that point seems to be around 185 AW.

🧬 Design
Next, let’s tackle the overall design. Similarly, all of these Dyson models are cordless stick vacuums that can run as a stick vac or a handheld vac.
Other similarities include:
- Quick-release attachment system
- Trigger on/off system
- 3 Modes: Eco, Auto, and Boost
- Assortment of tools and attachments
- Variety of cleaning heads
- Washable filter
Differences include:
- Click-in battery: V15, Outsize, and V11 only
- Run time: Longest run time is the Outsize at 120 minutes, shortest is the V8 at 40 minutes
- Cleaning heads: varies by model
- Inline configuration: Includes all models except Dyson V8
- Digital display: Includes all models except Dyson V8 and V10
- Onboard debris sensor: V15 only
We’ll touch on all of these differences below, so for now, let’s just talk about the biggest design difference, which is the inline configuration.
Inline Configuration
The Dyson V15, Outsize, V11, and V10 all use the updated inline configuration. This allows for a larger dust bin capacity and a straighter shot into the dust bin for stronger suction and better air flow.
The Dyson V8 uses a more traditional configuration that has a more compact dust bin and puts it slightly below the wand.
Traditional vs. Inline
This redesign increases suction power by and dust bin size in the V10, V11, Outsize, and V15 vs. the V8. The in-line design, motor, and cleaning head performance result in notable differences in suction power.
However, it does make those modes little longer and more awkward to carry around as a handheld.
The V8 has a center of gravity that is closer to the handle and may be more comfortable for extended handheld cleaning sessions.
Suction Power Compared
Below is a comparison of the suction power in air watts:
V15
230 AW
Outsize
220 AW
V11
185 AW
V10
145 AW
V8
115 AW
Dust Bin Size compared
The dust bin size also changes between these models—exact sizes are listed below:
V15
0.77 L
Outsize
1.89 L
V11
0.77 L
V10
0.77 L
V8
0.54 L
With the older configuration, the V8 has the smallest dust bin listed here (approx. 2.25 cups) and the Outsize has the largest (approx. 3.75 cups).
The V15, V11, and V10, all have the same size dustbin (approx. 3.25 cups), 1 cup more than the V8, and about half a cup less than the Outsize.
Size & Dimensions
Although there are five models represented here, the size is similar between all models.
The one exception being the Outsize, which is designed as an XL cordless, with a larger body, heavier weight, wider cleaning head, and larger dust bin capacity.
The exact size of each model is listed below:
Dyson V15
- Length: 49.6″
- Width: 9.8″
- Height: 10.3″
- Weight: 6.8 lbs.
Dyson Outsize
- Length: 50.63″
- Width: 12.5″
- Depth: 11.7″
- Weight: 7.85 lbs.
Dyson V11
- Length: 50.6″
- Width: 9.8″
- Depth: 10.3″
- Weight: 6.68 lbs.
Dyson V10
- Length: 49.2″
- Width: 9.5″
- Depth: 10.1″
- Weight: 5.8 lbs.
Dyson V8
- Length: 49″
- Width: 9.8″
- Depth: 8.8″
- Weight: 5.75 lbs.
Accessories & Parts
Let’s talk about what each model comes with. Among each different model of Dyson V-Series vacuum lies a secondary sub-model variant.
- Example – Dyson V11 (parent model) Torque Drive (sub-model variant)
- Example – Dyson V10 (parent model) Absolute (sub-model variant)
Availability of the sub-model varies by the parent model, retailer, and country. However, there are definitely more prominent sub-models that are the most common. We’ve included those below.
The core parent models include:
- Dyson V15
- Dyson Outsize
- Dyson V11
- Dyson V10
- Dyson V8
Sub-model variants would include labels like:
- Absolute: comes with the most tools and attachments, notably includes both the Fluffy soft cleaner head and a multi-surface cleaner head, ex. Torque Drive, High Torque, Direct Drive, etc.
- Animal: comes with tools designed for pet owners or anyone who just needs a deeper more versatile clean. Typically, includes the same tool set as the Absolute (excluding the extra Fluffy soft cleaning head).
- Motorhead: basic tools only and generally the lowest cost
- Torque Drive: includes the High Torque cleaning head only, designed for multi-surface cleaning. Currently only available with the V11.
- Fluffy: includes the Fluffy cleaning head, designed for hard surface flooring
- Detect: uses smarter technology to help detect debris for more efficient cleaning. Currently only available in the V15.
When you combine a core parent model with a selected sub-model variant, you get the complete model name, like the Dyson V10 Animal, or the Dyson V11 Torque Drive, or the Dyson V15 Detect.

Other Accessories
This list of tools and accessories may feel exhaustive and is it, but Dyson offers even more standalone accessories. Many of these are purchased separately, but some are included with specific packages.
We’ve listed some of the common extras below:
- Wand – Wands available in different colors, including: yellow, pink, red, titanium, blue / nickel, gold, purple, copper, black
- Mattress tool – Used for cleaning the surface of a mattress
- Up-top adapter – Acts as a joint between a cleaning head and the extension wand for hard-to-reach high spaces
- Dyson tool bag – Stores all of the Dyson accessories in one spot with exterior pockets and an open top; handy to keep in the car
- Multi-angle brush – Used to clean at a 90 degree angle from the extension wand; is useful for cleaning tops of furniture or ceiling fans
- Dusting brush – Used for gentle dusting; the same brush as listed above.
- Mini soft dusting brush – A smaller version of the traditional soft dusting brush with a long and narrow body.
- Stiff bristle brush – Hard bristles are used to clean dried-in dirt or mud from surfaces
👍 Usability
Now let’s talk usability. All of these Dysons are user friendly, but still, some models are more user friendly than others.
What increases the overall usability of a Dyson?
We break it down into a checklist of features. Here are the 10 most important usability features across these models.
#1. 2-in-1 Design
All of the Dysons V Series stick vacuums double as handheld vacuums, which essentially eliminates the need to have a separate handheld.
#2. Quick Release Attachments
This is a pretty standard way to attach Dyson tools, but it is fast and intuitive.
Red accents on the buttons make it simple to quickly understand where tools snap into place.
#3. Laser light brushroll
The Dyson V15 is the only vacuum in this review that has this feature, but the laser light brushroll is super insightful and interesting.
It is designed into the Fluffy cleaning head and gives you a better view of small debris as you clean (while also not negatively impacting overall run time).
As you might expect, the laser light is more noticeable in lower-lit environments, but still a nice addition even with abundant lighting.
You can see the comparison in the photos above.
#4. Click-In Battery
The click-in battery is a great feature, especially if you want to swap between multiple batteries or if you just struggle to find a spot to charge the battery.
The click-in battery lets you charge the battery separately from the rest of the vacuum which helps saves space.
#5. Point & Shoot Dust Bin
The way you empty each dust bin is also a little different between these five models.
Dyson V15
Dyson Outsize
Dyson V11
Dyson V10
Dyson V8
All models, excluding the Dyson V8, use a “point-and-shoot” style which allows the dust bin door to swing open and you “shoot” the debris right into the trash can.
On the V8, it’s a little different and you pull a trigger above the cyclone, which releases the debris down below.
#6. XL Dust Bin Capacity
While we’re talking dust bins, let’s also touch on capacity. The Dyson Outsize is the only mode with a capacity of up to 3.75 cups of debris.
#7. Onboard Sensors
The Dyson V15 Detect is the only model listed here with an onboard particle sensor.
This sensor detects particulate size and reports cleaning performance on the digital display.
#8. Digital Display
The digital display is yet another feature that sets each of these models apart from one another, as not all Dysons include it.
All models that have a digital display have it located in the same spot, the back of the handheld unit.
Here are the details about the digital display, per each model:
Dyson V15: This vacuum has the most advanced display that can communicate:
- Particulate count and size that has been cleaned
- Cleaning mode
- Estimated run time
- Maintenance alerts
Dyson Outsize: This vacuum has a similar display compared to the V15, however, it does not report particulates removed (due to the lack of the sensor).
- Cleaning mode
- Estimated run time
- Maintenance alerts
Dyson V11: This vacuum uses the same display as the V11 Outsize and communicates the same data as well:
- Cleaning mode
- Estimated run time
- Maintenance alerts
NOTE: The Dyson V11 Animal does NOT include the LCD screen. Instead, it includes simpler LED light indicators.
The Dyson V10 and V8 do not have digital displays.
#9. Washable Filters
All of the Dyson in this review use a washable filter. You’ll want to wash them once a month in cold water and allow them to air dry for up to 24 hours.
As long as it’s not damaged the washable filter is good for the life of the vacuum.
#10. Washable Brushroll
Right now, the Fluffy brushroll on the V15 Detect is the only washable brushroll. Being able to wash the whole brush can help it last longer and prevent debris buildup.
🔧 Maintenance
The maintenance for any of these V Series cordless vacs is all pretty similar.
Basic maintenance tasks include:
- Empty the dust bin
- Wash the filter (about once per month)
- Charge the battery (easiest with the click-in battery on the V11, Outsize, or V15)
- Replace the battery as needed (3-5 years for the V8, 15 years on all other models compared in this review)
- Clear the brushroll of any clogs or tangles
- Wash the Fluffy cleaning head(V15 Fluffy only)
Battery
Each of these models come with slightly different strengths of batteries. The stronger the battery, the longer the run time.
Here’s a closer look at exactly how long you can expect each Dyson to last, according to the manufacturer:
Battery | Dyson V15 | Dyson Outsize | Dyson V11 | Dyson V10 | Dyson V8 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Capacity | 3,600 mAh | 3,600 mAh | 3,600 mAh | 2,600 mAh | 2,800 mAh |
Charging Time | 4.5 hours | 4.5 hours | 4.5 hours | 3.5 hours | 5 hours |
Run Time | 60 minutes | 120 minutes | 60 minutes | 60 minutes | 40 minutes |
Click In Battery | Yes; 1 included | Yes; 2 included | Yes; 1 included | No | No |
Est. Life | 15 years | 15 years | 15 years | 15 years | 3-5 years |
Replacement Cost | Check Price | Check Price | Check Price | Check Price | Check Price |
Keep in mind, though, that if you’re using motorized tools or running in “Max mode,” the run time will be less.

🥇 Which Dyson is Best?
So you’ve made it this far— still not sure which model is right for you? See quick summaries below to help make your decision easier and get to cleaning.
Should you buy the Dyson V15 Detect?
I would recommend the Dyson V15 Detect to people who:
- Want to know exactly what they’re cleaning – The internal Piezo sensor is an insightful feature. In addition, it makes the vacuum smarter in how it adjusts its cleaning as well as how it displays the data right on the digital display. It also has the floor laser, which makes it easier to see finite dust and other particles on the floor. When you can see more, it’s easier to clean more.

Should you buy the Dyson Outsize?
I would recommend the Dyson Outsize to people who:
- Want XL coverage – If you have a large area to clean and want to do it often and fast, the Dyson Outsize is a good option. It uses a brushroll that is 25% wider, has double the run time, stronger suction, and the largest dust bin. It’s basically just MORE vacuum.
Click here to check out the Dyson Outsize price.
Should you buy the Dyson V11?
I would recommend the Dyson V11 to people who:
- Want a good value – With the launch of the V15, the V11 becomes the new value buy. It lacks the Piezo sensor and laser on the cleaning head, but still has fantastic cleaning performance and is user-friendly. I have no real qualms with the Dyson V11 and for an all-around good vacuum cleaner, it checks a lot of boxes for me.
Click here to check out the Dyson V11 price.
Should you buy the Dyson V10?
I would recommend the Dyson V10 to people who:
- Want a more budget buy – The Dyson V10 has a lot of the same features as the V11, like an assortment of accessories, 60-minute run time, and solid cleaning performance. The main thing you’re giving up is the digital display screen on the back, but if you’re more about performance don’t need all the bells-and-whistles, the V10 is a good option.
Click here to check the Dyson V10 price.
Should you buy the Dyson V8?
The Dyson V8 is a still a good vacuum… when you can find it. Over the last year or so the V8 seems less and less stocked at many retailers.
And when it is available, it tends to be listed at odd prices that make it a tough sell when compared to other (more widely available) models.
For most consumers, I think the V10 would be a better buy, providing 20 extra minutes of run time, in-line configuration, a larger dust bin, and upgraded tools.
