Dyson has officially launched the Dyson V16 Piston Animal, its newest flagship cordless vacuum and the most powerful cordless model the company has released to date. The lineup includes the standard Dyson V16 Piston Animal and the wet-and-dry Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine variant.
Powered by Dyson’s new 900W Hyperdymium motor, the V16 delivers an impressive 315 air watts of fade-free suction, setting a new benchmark for the brand’s cordless vacuum range. Combined with up to 70 minutes of runtime, the V16 is designed to handle deep cleaning sessions in larger homes without sacrificing performance.

Smarter Cleaning with Automatic Adaptation
One of the standout features of the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is its new All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head. The dual conical brush bars actively prevent hair tangles while automatically adjusting brush speed and suction power based on floor type and debris levels.
Advanced sensors continuously monitor dust and floor conditions, allowing the vacuum to optimize cleaning performance in real time. Whether tackling carpets, hard floors, pet hair, or long hair, the V16 is designed to adapt automatically for more efficient cleaning.
New Dust Compression System Increases Capacity
Dyson also introduces its new CleanCompaktor™ bin technology, which compresses collected debris to maximize dust capacity. According to Dyson, the system can hold up to three times more dirt and debris while maintaining hygienic emptying with its point-and-shoot disposal mechanism.
The large 1.3-liter dust bin means fewer trips to the trash during extensive cleaning sessions.
HEPA Filtration and Advanced Features
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal features a fully sealed HEPA-grade filtration system that captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, helping reduce allergens and improve indoor air quality.
Beyond its core cleaning performance, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal includes several premium features designed to improve both convenience and usability. A built-in LCD screen provides real-time cleaning data, remaining battery life, and maintenance alerts, while MyDyson app connectivity offers software updates, maintenance guidance, and additional control options.
Dyson’s laser dust illumination technology helps reveal fine dust particles that are often invisible to the naked eye, making it easier to identify areas that need attention.
The vacuum also features intelligent automatic suction adjustment, allowing it to adapt power levels based on floor type and debris levels for more efficient cleaning. A removable battery system provides added flexibility for extended cleaning sessions, while users can choose between Eco, Auto, and Boost modes depending on their cleaning needs. Completing the package are Dyson’s anti-tangle Motorbar cleaner head, the Hair Screw Tool 2.0 for removing pet hair from upholstery and stairs, and a convenient wall-mounted charging dock for storage and charging between uses.
With its powerful new motor, intelligent cleaning technology, larger dust capacity, and advanced anti-tangle system, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal represents Dyson’s most feature-packed cordless vacuum to date and is aimed squarely at households dealing with pets, long hair, and demanding cleaning tasks.
