Dyson Gen5outsize
This is the big-bin sibling to the Gen5detect already in the catalog — same 250AW motor and green laser dust illumination, but with a 25% wider Motorbar XL head and a bin that's 150% bigger than a standard V11. It ships with a second battery in the box, which is what gets it to a genuinely long 140-minute max runtime instead of the roughly 70 minutes you'd get from one pack. At 8.6 lbs it's noticeably heavier than the standard Gen5detect and priced well above it — this is the machine for a large single-story home or someone who hates changing batteries mid-clean, not a small apartment.
