Which is better for pet hair?

Both have de-tangling heads. The Outsize Plus adds a wider Motorbar XL head and a much larger bin, which helps on homes with heavy shedding. The V11's higher rated suction helps on embedded hair in rugs.

Which has the bigger bin?

The Outsize Plus. Its 0.5 gal bin is about 2.5 times the V11's 0.77 L (0.2 gal), so you empty it far less often.

Is the Outsize Plus worth the extra over the V11?

At $209.99 at Walmart as of November 7, 2026, it is good value if you clean large areas. Check the V11's live price first; if it is much cheaper and you want a lighter vacuum, it can be the better deal.

Which is easier to carry upstairs?

The V11. At 3 kg (about 6.6 lb) it is roughly 1.4 lb lighter than the 8 lb Outsize Plus.

Which has more suction?

The V11 is rated at 185 AW. Dyson does not publish an AW figure for the Outsize Plus in the specs given, so a direct number comparison is not possible.

Do both convert to a handheld?

Yes. Both are convertible stick vacuums, so the wand and head come off for cleaning cars, stairs and upholstery.

Dyson V11 Cordless Stick Vacuum vs Dyson Outsize Plus Cordless Vacuum

The Dyson Outsize Plus is the better buy for most people: a wider cleaner head, a much larger bin, and a $209.99 price at Walmart as of November 7, 2026. The V11 has stronger rated suction (185 AW) and a lighter 3 kg body, but no current price was given for it, so compare its live price before deciding. Choose the Outsize Plus for big floors and pet hair; choose the V11 only if you find it cheaper and want a lighter vacuum.
