The Dyson V16 Piston Animal has made quite an entrance on the vacuum cleaner arena! It tacks on some impressive suction and advanced technology geared toward pet owners. Was it worth it, though, considering that the vacuum recently launched at a £750 cost? Additionally, with a two-year warranty against materials and workmanship defects, consumers can rest easy knowing it’s built to last.
At 25 x 26 x 130 cm, Dyson V16 Piston Animal is very slim and light at only 3.4 kg. Its light, compact design allows you to zip it around your home with ease. Its maximum suction power is highly competitive at 315 air watts. This awesome power to max suction force of 21 kPa adds on top. These specifications prove that the vacuum is capable of tackling just about any mess. It thoroughly gets the job done—from pet hair to dust and debris.
Another noteworthy aspect of the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is its impressive battery life. In practice, the estimated usage time is an hour and 10 minutes. Though upon real-world testing we found it to go a little longer at 1 hour and 11 minutes. This is an upgrade from its predecessor, the V15, whose battery lasted an hour. The vacuum takes a full charge time of around 4hr 30min. Its ultra-long run time gives users even more flexibility to clean how and when they want.
The vacuum has a large 1.3-liter dust capacity. This allows it to carry up to 14 gallons of soil, so the dirt bag doesn’t need to be emptied often. This feature is especially helpful for homes with furry friends, where cat and dog hair tends to add up fast. The V16 Piston Animal introduces a new floor head that combines two conical brush bars—one designed for carpets and the other for hard floors. This unique 2-in-1 design lets users smoothly glide from carpets to hard floors without stopping to change tools.
The new Dyson V16 Piston Animal comes with smart anti-tangle combs. These combs are seamlessly built in to the floor head for more effective hair pickup. It’s a smart design that reduces the amount of hair that gets tangled around brush bars which means less hair cleaning maintenance time. Your customers will go crazy over the fact that the vacuum auto shut-off when the airway becomes blocked. This feature enhances safety as well as increasing the longevity of the device.
The vacuum’s color touchscreen is perhaps its most impressive feature. In addition, it shows battery life on an onscreen map in real time so users can always see how much cleaning time is left. This new level of transparency can help city departments plan cleaning sessions with greater impact.
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal represents a new design innovation. A unique combination floor head easily and effectively glides across carpet and hard floors. This simplified approach ensures greater accessibility and convenience in one seamless design. It further reduces the need for excess attachments, winning over convenience-seeking consumers.
While the Dyson V16 Piston Animal showcases several impressive features and improvements over earlier models, potential buyers should consider whether it meets their specific needs. The £750 price point is indeed a lot to swallow, positioning it firmly within the realms of other high-end vacuum cleaners available today.
