I bought a Dyson Outsize Absolute in May 2023 ($799). In Nov 2024 Dyson performed a warranty repair by replacing the **main body** due to shut-offs during use. **Within nine months**, the **exact same defect** came back: intermittent power loss and shut-offs. Support confirmed the same component would need replacement again but refused a **no-charge** repair, arguing the warranty had “matured,” and offered a \~$400 paid replacement. In other words, the original warranty repair **did not fix** the defect, and Dyson is shifting the cost to the customer. I’m asking Dyson to stand behind its repair and provide a **no-charge repair or a full replacement**, or a **refund** of the purchase price. I will update this review if the company resolves the matter fairly.

I bought a Dyson v15 and upgraded the motorhead to the XL model. Was the best time saving investment I made, get done in half the time saving hours of work every week without looking for outlets and getting wrapped up in the cord.

I use the Dyson, Gen5 outsize. This is what I had before getting our girl and it does a good job.. it’s also practical to vacuum the hair out of the car. But I would truly recommend a Shark Upright Vac, those things truly do an amazing job picking up dog hair 🐕

Idk I’ve had Dysons since I’ve been a home owner- my v11 still works great at 4years old and I just upgraded to the gen5outsize (have a bigger house now) and it’s fantastic- for reference I have 5 animals one being a husky and I vacuum everyday - never had issues with either model - as long as you clean them / filter i definitely think they are worth the price point

I had the Dyson outsize, it croaked after several months and Dyson didn't have a filter for it, so they upgraded me to the new gen15 outsize. The thing costs about 2x, is more powerful, comes with a second battery and and amazing cloth roller head with a laser light that makes dust and debris glow. Never had a vacuum that worked so well. Return only took about 2 weeks. Very pleased, just hope this one lasts...

The Tineco Pet Go 303 is not going to solve your problem and it'll add many other problems. The V11 has a pretty nice canister that minimizes the need to do that so I don't really understand what your real "problem" is... with the other ones things get stuck and I just quickly rotate out the inside filter part and back in, or just quickly grab whatever that gets stuck or use a brush. Maybe a Dyson V11 *outsize* would solve your problem and it's within your budget if you get an old beat up one. Based on how it looks, it looks like it'll essentially get rid of your problem with the bigger canister and the general shape of it. I feel like you could "solve" the problem you're describing, ironically by purchasing a much worse vacuum like the Tineco, but only because it'll have trouble picking up all the stuff in the first place for it to even get clogged where you say it gets clogged.

I ditched my Dyson Outsized for the Miele C3 Complete. I’ll use the Dyson for quick pickups but I have to increase suction to max to pick up cat litter.

The Dyson sticks are highly overrated. To obtain adequate suction power, you need to use the high setting but your battery will only run for 10 minutes tops.

yeah i have a v8 and i have a black mouth curs dog, and 2 cats. i was fine before with hardwood floors, and any other stick vacuum….dude once i got to a carpeted place…TRASH. i had a shark professional….but didnt want the cords…annoying. i vacuum almost every other day. Dyson freaking rocked, had it nearly 4-5 years now. the hair from my dogs so thick it fills the canister up with half the living room done. I used to use the upholstery tool directly on my dog she loved it and lays down and shows me her belly when i vacuum lol. I paid 250 refurb for it originally. Dude im not kidding I was not nice to this vacuum. I beat the shit out of it. I break it down and clean it. My son broke the canister once, but i easily ordered parts and got another. I used it to suck up hundreds of dead stink bugs. but people are right on the battery….well. about a year ago they had the dyson outsize for sale cheap, used to be like 8-900. This one has the biggest bin, bigger engine, bigger wider brushes, and the best part, hot swappable batteries. Man its been glorious. Best part is all my attachments fit. My original dyson came with every single one they made. They make a specific dog one now. The dyson outsize also has automatic suction levels or its medium is good enough with a timer on how long it will last. Big improvement over v8. Like i said who cares I got 2 batteries now . Theres no other wireless vacuum ive seen that can do suction that well.
