Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Good but

I bought this a month ago . The suction is good and the light to show the dust is good too. Im having difficulty removing the wand from the main body in order to use it as a hand held. I’ve watched the video and done everything that is meant to release the wand but it doesn’t work for me . I have had many Dysons and never have I had this problem. I also find it heavier than previous dysons Ive owned .

The floor cleaner attachment does not work. Called up within 30 days of receiving and was offered to wait until the attachment next restocks, no email of restock and still can't fully use the item 2 months later. I had high expectations following my previous Dyson but I'm more than disappointed with this purchase and service.

It's too heavy to lift and the attachments are difficult to remove, the dust box is very awkward to empty and the weight means it's even more difficult. The suction is good and lots of dust has been removed, pity about the other problems

Great product. Poor service.

It’s a great product. Big advance over previous model we had. However service and support really let Dyson down. Still awaiting a replacement for the brush piece as the wheel broke. Dyson refuse to exchange the product and ask me to keep calling in to check when in stock. Over a year now. That’s their job!!!!

The view of a satisfied user.

This cordless hoover does everything that I want a hoover to do. It is versatile, responsive, and powerful. I don’t have it fitted to the wall or on a floor stand, it takes to pieces and stores away easily. I thought the price was a bit high but it is worth every penny. Thank you Dyson.

A Real Game-Changer for Cleaning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always have a good impression about the Dyson products but I can say that the Dyson Piston animal is a game-changer. Suction is powerful , the mop function works brilliantly on hard surfaces , and the battery lasts long enough to get everything done in one go.The mop attachments leave the floor spotless , and the filtration is impressive , trapping dust and allergens effectively.

Amazingly better than my Gen5Detect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent the new piston to review and as soon as I opened the boxes I knew this was something special, straight away I noticed the new design on the main body and bin end with the new integrated nozzle! And then with the new pipe design and how the main attachment head just clicks in without having to bend down which works perfectly with the submarine 2.0 when going from hovering to mopping and back again effortlessly nice touch :) The new submarine 2.0 is really good, so sustainable with only a faction of the water required when compared to using a mop and bucket, I used a quarter cap of flash floor cleaner with warm water and it worked perfectly through the house…just under 2 water tanks to clean my entire house (3bed,3bathrooms, kitchen, living room, halls and conservatory) I love the new compactor in the bin and how it displays on the screen when left compressed. The build feels so much more solid than my Gen5 detect which is less than a year old 😩 The sound and feel when switched on is so satisfying because it sounds quiet yet the suction is incredible. The display gives great information and I love the new improve live status colours based on how much it’s hoovering up. The new head is the best to date and goes from hard floor to carpet, most of my house is hard floor with some rugs, it’s works brilliantly going between both surface types albeit the head is slightly bulky. The app is a lot better with the piston in that you can actually make adjustments to the appliance in real time. I struggled to see the usage data though, just wouldn’t pick it up from the appliance. All in all I found the new V16 Piston without a doubt your best handheld hoover to date and I’m really struggling with having to send it back and it’s now made my Gen5Detect old hat and no where as good. My one gripe would be as per usual new design so new attachments design now left with bucket full of previous models attachments:(

All round awesomeness!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my new V16 'Submarine' 2 weeks ago and have quickly come to appreciate the UPGRADE that this machine is. It performed brilliantly on my carpets and hard flooring. The battery is certainly longer lasting (over an hour). The attachments, whilst similar to my previous machine, work exceedingly well which I put down to the extra suction of the V16.The new wet/mop function worked well although found it a little difficult to manoeuvre. One big surprise was how much quieter hoovering has become! Overall I am very pleased with all the aspects of this 'awesome' machine and would highly recommend it.

Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine: Lightweight Joy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, despite the minor drawbacks in suction and battery duration, the Dyson V16 has quickly become a favorite in my cleaning routine. Its lightweight design makes it effortless to maneuver around furniture and stairs, and the versatility in switching between hard floors and carpets feels intuitive. The attachments, from the anti-tangle brush to the crevice tool, are sturdy and purpose-built, which adds to the premium feel. Even the wet and dry function, which I plan to try on my kitchen tiles soon, seems promising based on the easy setup. There's something about the engineering that makes vacuuming less of a chore—almost therapeutic, really. If you're in the market for a high-end cordless vac that prioritizes ease and enjoyment over raw power, this one's a solid pick. I'd recommend it with a 4 out of 5 stars.

Super powerful suction!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The V16 vacuum performed brilliantly on both the textured slate floor and wool rugs. Battery lasted a good hour so no need to recharge part way through cleaning. The wet head struggled with both slate and wood flooring. Leaving too much water on wooden floors and unable to get into crevices in slate. I love the powerful vacuum but wet clean best with a mop!
