James Dyson
Founder of Dyson
“The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is powered by our most power-dense Hyperdymium™ motor. It is the first to have Dynamic Cyclones where five additional cyclones cut-in, on boost mode, for extra suction power. The improved cleaner head intelligently senses changes in floor type, automatically adjusting suction and brush bar speed. Two conical brush bars remove even the longest hair to be sucked directly into the bin, which holds 30 days of dust thanks to our CleanCompaktor™ mechanism. Plus, it is a wet and dry vacuum thanks to our upgraded Submarine head. This picks up debris and washes floors without spreading dirt, as well as cleaning up spills on hard floors.”
New All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head
Where intelligence meets performance
The new All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head features two conical brush bars that eject even the longest hair2 as it is picked up, preventing hair from wrapping and tangling around the brush bar. The conical shape encourages hair migration from the thicker ends in the middle to the thinner, outer ends, before being sucked up directly into the bin.
It intelligently adapts to different floor types3. Beyond adjusting suction when it senses a change in floor types, it also automatically adjusts brush bar rotation speeds, slowing down to delicately clean hard floors with improved acoustics and speeding up for maximum agitation when cleaning carpets for optimal cleaning performance.
The new All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head effectively combines the high performance of the Dyson Digital Motorbar on carpets and Dyson Fluffy cleaner heads on hard floors into one convenient solution. It provides powerful pick-up performance on both hard floors and carpets, without needing to switch cleaner heads as you clean.
New Dyson Hyperdymium™ 900W motor
With new Dynamic Cyclone technology
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is Dyson’s most powerful cordless vacuum6. It is powered by the latest Dyson Hyperdymium™, generating up to 315AW of suction power 6, generating 315AW of powerful suction1.
It features our new, patented Dynamic Cyclone technology that activates five additional cyclones in Boost mode to further increase suction when needed for the optimal balance between suction and runtime.
Upgraded Submarine™ 2.0 wet roller head
The new Submarine™ 2.0 wet roller head features a motorized, high-density microfiber roller that washes spills and stains from hard floors. The 10.1oz clean water tank covers flooring up to 110m2. It also features new hydration control technology to deliver targeted and precise water supply when wet cleaning, with the flexibility to activate boost mode for additional water supply when needed to tackle tough stains.
New Dyson CleanCompaktor™ bin
Holds three times more dust and debris
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is equipped with Dyson’s new CleanCompaktor™ bin which features new dust compression technology designed to significantly increase bin capacity while ensuring more seamless and hygienic disposal.
The new CleanCompaktor™ bin compresses dust and debris, holding 30 days’ worth of dust and debris5. The interior has also been re-designed so unlike others, all internal surfaces are wiped clean as you empty the bin ensuring no dust or hair is left behind5.
