Dyson V16 Piston Animal Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Brand New BUT Faulty

Bought one day, picked up from store next day. The service at the Sainsbury/Argos store was excellent. On unwrapping was first confused by the V60 on the packaging. I thought at first it was the wrong item but on checking Google it appears the V16 and V60 is one and the same. Then set up the wall mount, connected the V16 to be given a FAULT message. I tried to resolve the fault firstly using the app and eventually called a Dyson technician who confirmed it was faulty and agreed it needed replaced. Took it back to the Argos store later that day and was given with zero hassle a credit. The experience has put me off Dyson. A £750 brand new product out of the box and it was faulty?! No issues with Argos. Plenty issues with Dyson. We shall be going elsewhere to replace our old V11 Dyson, and it won’t be a Dyson!

Very good tricky at times

Brought this a less than a month ago. Lovely handheld hover, probably the best so far. Down side is taking of the attachments to empty hover can be a little bit of a struggle, also the bin doesn't fully clean out, at times one has to use his hands to get the dirt out.

Beautifully Engineered

Beautifully engineered , feels robust and very tactile. This is the best machine I have ever had, everything works exactly as you would expect. The test will be how it continues in the fullness of time, at this moment it looks like it’s built to last.

Best Dyson vacuum!

My old cordless V10 Dyson gave me over ten years loyal service so when it was time to upgrade it, although it is still working, i would only look at buying another Dyson. I was put off slightly buying the V16 Piston Animal because of some of the reviews I read but I am so glad I went ahead and bought it. I really wanted the dual head, the bin compactor and the hidden crevice tools. These upgrades are complete game changers! This is a fantastic vacuum and I really do not know why it has received some bad reviews as I cannot fault it at all and absolutely love using it. Thank you Dyson!

I bought a Dyson V16 a few weeks ago.it's super efficient at collecting dust and hair and it's really easy and light to carry. I am happy to use all the time!

Unfortunately disappointing

Purchased a Dyson following a number of disappointing vacuums from other companies, unfortunately I expected to come back to the same power and quality but I’m just not satisfied. The suction is good when it wants to be but the attachment head is constantly stating it is blocked even when it isn’t which is extremely frustrating, we are constantly taking it apart to check and find nothing there. The eco settings useless and sucks up very little, we find that we are generally using the boost function 99% of the time causing the battery to drain so much more quicker. After a further couple of weeks I have found the issue appears to be the filter, we are washing this every 2-3 days due to blockages, this vacuum should really come with at least a couple as we are having to wash and dry this too regularly. I wish I had gone for a model a few years older which would probably be better.
