New Dyson flagship model addresses longstanding grievances about stick vacuum performance
The British tech company Dyson has once again raised the bar in the world of vacuum cleaners with the introduction of their latest innovation, the V16 Piston Animal. This new flagship stick vacuum offers a host of advanced features designed to make cleaning easier and more efficient.
One of the standout features of the V16 Piston Animal is its hands-free attachment swapping system. This allows users to switch between attachments without the need to bend down, offering a more comfortable and convenient cleaning experience.
The V16 Piston Animal is available in two versions: the standard model and the Submarine version, which includes a mopping floorhead for those who require a more comprehensive cleaning solution. Both versions are now available for purchase on Dyson.co.uk in the UK.
The V16 Piston Animal's main floorhead, the All Floor Cones Sense, is designed with a clever mechanism to prevent hair from tangling around the rollers. This feature ensures that the vacuum continues to perform optimally, even when used on homes with pets.
The V16 Piston Animal boasts a power output of 315AW, making it more powerful than the Gen5detect. In Eco and Auto mode, half of the cyclones switch off to help extend filter life, while in Boost mode, all cyclones are active for maximum power.
The inside of the bin in the V16 Piston Animal has been redesigned to eliminate crevices for dust to get caught in, making emptying the bin a quick and mess-free process.
The V16 Piston Animal also features advanced automation. It automatically adjusts suction and brushroll speed based on the floor type, ensuring optimal performance on all surfaces. The new model is also Dyson's first properly app-connected vacuum, allowing users to control and monitor their vacuum from their smartphones.
The V16 Piston Animal weighs the same as the V15 Detect and is lighter than the Gen5detect, making it easier to manoeuvre around the home. The motor in the V16 Piston Animal has been flipped 180-degrees compared to previous models, which Dyson claims improves the balance and handling of the vacuum.
The Hair screw tool in the V16 Piston Animal has been upgraded with a rubber scraper to help dislodge hair from upholstery. The new model also features a 'CleanCompaktor' bin for onboard dust compaction, reducing the need for frequent emptying.
The V16 Piston Animal does not have a separate, hard floor-specific Fluffy floorhead; instead, it combines the two previous floorhead designs. This means users can switch between soft and hard floor cleaning with ease.
The V16 Piston Animal is priced at £749.99 in the UK, with the Submarine version costing £899.99. Given its advanced features and high power output, the V16 Piston Animal could potentially be the best Dyson vacuum based on specs alone.
Dyson Ltd., a company renowned for its advanced vacuum technology and innovation, is the manufacturer of the Dyson V16 Piston Animal. With its hands-free attachment swapping, advanced automation features, and onboard dust compaction, the V16 Piston Animal is set to revolutionise the way we clean our homes.
