Dyson V16 Piston Animal

“One advantage the V16 head has that the V15 head does not, is a suction strength adjuster. The red toggle there allows you to adjust suction strength based on the surface.”

“I bought both during Boxing Week and tested it them at home and I liked the V16 personally, but with the concerns I've read online I decided to also get a 7 year warranty”

“As for the V16. That really seems like a bit of a flop to me as well. I think they wanted it to do too many things at the same time, and the result is it can't do anything perfectly.”

“Mine would do this too. I find its not as exacerbated when its hair and light dust. Compressing it would then resolve it.”

“Totally normal because the new first stage system allows you to leave the front "free" and collect everything behind or on the bottom, in this way there is no old phenomenon of grid/mesh clogging”

“this Conical head is just bad…i think this unit has good ideas like the bin compactor,quick release floor head,on/off instead of trigger. Its all undone by the head design and weird new Cyclone setup.”

“The main cleaning head's conical rollers were extremely effective when it came to repelling hair”

“yeah, looks like you cant compact it fully becouse it will just squize things on the bottom more.”

“The V16 only comes with this oddly cone shaped floorhead and no laser fluffy head which I use every day. Also there's serious concerns about the new dust bin design causing premature clogging of the motor filter”

“Seems like the v16 has some considerable filtration issues to me. On previous generation dysons hardly any dust would make it to the filter at all.”

“Only one rouge strand remained stuck on the roller after two weeks of testing”

“Comparing to a v15: it feels lighter, parts and the main component, battery feels the heaviest.”

“You will not be disappointed by the performance and suction of the V16.”

“The only bad thing about it is word choice of clashing heads and price”

“the vacuum registering an error and refusing to work until my husband went outside and shook as much flour out of the filter as possible.”

“That said, I am still a big fan of Dyson”

“I have dog hairs that are making it through to the filter. I don’t think it’s supposed to do that. Didn’t happen for me on the v15.”

“The suction power is legit strong.”

“It clogs up so much MORE than the previous first cyclone design and the old design was 100% better!! This new one causes problems.”

“The worst thing, that ring of dirt on top is always going to look like that, unless you slide the bin off and wipe it.”

“I believe the floorhead of the V16 is poorly designed. It’s also less battle tested than the Gen5 Detect.”

“this thing cakes the filter regardless (bad seal design specifically with the V16)”

“The noise isn’t there when no attachment is installed”

“The V16 is by far the worst Dyson I’ve used.”
