The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is a high-end cordless vacuum cleaner recently released by Dyson. It represents a new generation of Dyson's cordless technology, with a strong focus on power, anti-tangle features, and intelligent cleaning.
Piston Technology: While the full details of the "Piston" technology are proprietary, it is the name given to the new cleaning head, the "All Floor Cones Sense cleaner head," which is designed to de-tangle long hair and automatically adapt suction and brush bar speed to different floor types.
Hyperdymium™ 900W Motor: This is a new, more powerful motor that spins at high speeds to generate 315 Air Watts of suction, which Dyson claims is their most powerful cordless vacuum to date.
Anti-Tangle Technology: A major highlight of the V16 is its ability to handle long hair and pet hair. The new cleaner head features two rotating conical brush bars that are engineered to spiral and de-tangle hair, moving it directly into the bin.
Intelligent Features:
Dust Detect Sensor: The vacuum has a sensor that counts and sizes microscopic particles up to 15,000 times per second, automatically adjusting the suction power to optimise cleaning and battery life.
LCD Screen: The screen displays real-time information, including the amount of dust removed, remaining run time, power mode, and maintenance alerts.
Bin Compression: A new "CleanCompaktor™" bin compresses dust and debris as you clean, allowing it to hold more before needing to be emptied. This is a significant improvement for pet owners and those who deal with a lot of fine dust.
Advanced Filtration: The vacuum features a fully-sealed, five-stage HEPA filtration system that is claimed to trap 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, expelling cleaner air.
Battery and Run Time: It is powered by an advanced seven-cell, lithium battery, providing up to 70 minutes of fade-free suction. The batteries are swappable, which allows for even longer cleaning sessions.
