Stick vacuum cleaners just got a whole lot smarter and cooler with the arrival of the new, feature-packed Dyson V16 Piston Animal. Words Scott Hocking Unleash the cleaning beast!

App advantages Experience a connected clean! Pair the V16 Piston Animal with the MyDyson app to remote control settings like brush speeds and dust illumination, or check the duration of your cleaning sessions, get performance advice, personalise settings, and more.

Multi-purpose cleaning tools

Both the V16 Piston Animal and the V16 Piston Submarine come with built-in accessories that make it easy to move from floor cleaning to other tasks. There’s a combination wide nozzle and brush for everything from carpets to dusting the couch or car, a crevice tool for tight spots and corners, and a conical brush bar that’s perfect for picking up pet fur and long hair without tangles – even strands up to 63.5cm long.

T hink vacuum cleaners are boring? Think again! The cool new Dyson V16 Piston Animal not only sports a name that suggests plenty of grunt, but also comes packed with clever tech for smarter and more efficient cleaning of a range of floor types. This versatile, ergonomic stick vacuum is available in two models – the V16 Piston Animal Submarine that handles both wet and dry messes, and the V16 Piston Animal for dry vacuuming only. Smart and powerful The V16 Piston Animal isn’t just any cordless stick vacuum – it’s Dyson’s most powerful anti-tangle model to date, delivering a huge 315 Air Watts (AW) of fade-free suction. That means it can keep going at full strength for up to 70 minutes on a full charge – plenty of time to tackle the whole house without rushing or recharging. The clever All Floor Cones Sense Cleaner Head can intelligently detect the floor type and adjust the brushbar speed to suit, automatically. It’ll dig deep into carpets and give hard floors a more gentle clean – all with no need to switch settings. The cleaner head is also designed to suck up dust and untangle hair, while the built-in HEPA filter captures 99.99% of fine particles like pollen and bacteria, helping keep the air in your home fresher and allergen free.

If you opt for the V16 Piston Submarine, you’ll also get a dedicated wet roller head. This lets you mop and vacuum at the same time, making sticky spills and stubborn stains on hard floors much

More efficient cleaning This vacuum doesn’t just give your floors an exceptional clean – it’s also designed to save you time and hassle. The bin has a built-in plunger that compresses dust and debris, storing up to 30 days’ worth before you need to empty it. Once emptied, the bin is automatically wiped clean, so it’s ready for the next clean. An LED light in the cleaner head helps you spot hidden dust you might otherwise miss, even in dim corners. Plus, the quick-release system means you can swap cleaning tools without bending down or fiddling with awkward clips.

less of a chore to remove. The bottom line

The Dyson V16 Piston Animal reinvents the stick vacuum with high-powered suction, smart features, wet and dry options, and more streamlined cleaning. It’s a top pick for anyone who wants an effortless, thorough floor clean – especially a busy household with pets, kids, or a knack for making mess.
