The most powerful vacuum cleaner from Dyson. No tangles. No compromises.

The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is the next-generation cordless vacuum cleaner, combining peak power, intelligence, and convenience. The 900 W Hyperdymium motor delivers 315 AW of continuous suction power—the highest in its class. Dynamic Cyclone automatically boosts power for tougher dirt, while the All Floor Cones brush with dual rollers removes long hairs without tangling. The device recognizes the floor type, adjusts the speed, and optimizes suction for precise cleaning. The CleanCompaktor bin compresses dust and holds up to 30 days’ worth of debris, while HEPA filtration captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. With up to 70 minutes of runtime and a removable battery, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is the most powerful tangle-free vacuum—merciless on dust and hair, even in homes with pets.

Your carpet, like never before

The specially designed nylon-fiber brush penetrates deep into the carpet fibers, loosens dust and dirt, and removes them with exceptional power. Carpets regain their depth and color.

Soft brush, tough performance

Fine, fluffy fibers capture dust and particles with ease, cleaning even the most delicate surfaces without scratching and preserving their natural luster.

Modern, advanced HEPA technology with five-stage protection leaves no chance for dust and allergens. The system captures even the finest particles down to 0.1 microns and keeps the air in your home exceptionally clean and fresh—so you breathe easier every day. Thanks to its fully sealed design, the filter keeps everything inside without releasing contaminants back into the air.

The dynamic multi-cyclone system automatically adjusts suction power based on the level of contamination. When it encounters tougher areas, it activates Boost mode and increases power, and in lighter areas, it reduces it to save energy. This way, the appliance maintains optimal efficiency and ensures deep cleaning without unnecessary effort.

The intelligent sensor detects and measures microscopic dust particles up to 15,000 times per second. Thanks to this precision, the device automatically adjusts its power, increasing suction in dirtier areas and reducing it when the surface is clean—for optimal efficiency and longer runtime.

The smart LCD screen shows you exactly how much dust and dirt has been removed—while you clean. You see the results instantly, with no guesswork or assumptions—just clear proof of truly deep cleaning.

They adapt instantly to what you’re cleaning. More power when you need it. A gentler touch when you don’t want to make a fuss. They reach every hard-to-reach spot and pick up what other vacuums miss.

With the built-in crevice tool, you have instant access to hard-to-reach spots. The appliance easily converts to a handheld model for flexible cleaning both high and low—without interruption and without changing accessories.

The motorized cone-shaped brush effectively removes and detangles hair from carpets, furniture, car seats, and stairs. The new rubber strip penetrates deeper into fabrics and improves cleaning along the leading edge—for flawless results even on the toughest stains.

The quick-release system for the hose or nozzle allows you to change attachments without bending over. Fast, convenient, and effortless—for cleaning your entire home in one smooth motion.

Consistent power, no drop

The latest 900 W Hyperdymium™ motor is the powerhouse behind every movement of the appliance. It generates up to 315 AW of stable suction power with no drop-off, even during longer cleaning sessions. More power, more control, and results you can see right away.

Tangle-free brush

The All Floor Cones™ head features two rotating cone-shaped rollers that intelligently spiral and release hair up to 63 cm. No tangles, no effort—just deep cleaning of dust and hair from carpets and hard floors, straight from the floor to the dustbin.

Automatically adapts to any floor

The universal cleaning head automatically adjusts the brush power and speed according to the floor type. The stiff nylon bristles penetrate carpets to remove dust and dirt, while the soft fibers clean hard floors without scratching—for deep and gentle cleaning everywhere.

A dustbin with enough capacity for a whole month

The CleanCompaktor™system compresses collected dust and debris so the bin can hold up to a month’s worth of cleaning without needing to be emptied. More space, less emptying.

Hygienic cleaning

The interior of the container has been completely redesigned with a smooth, flat surface that wipes clean easily when emptying. Nothing sticks—no dust, no tangled hair—just cleanliness and convenience with every cleaning.

Always connected and up to date

With the MyDyson™ app, you receive automatic notifications for new software updates, maintenance tips, and lighting control. This keeps your device in top condition and ready to go.

This is the next step in the evolution of cleaning technology—a solution that adapts to the user’s needs and ensures maximum efficiency on any type of floor. The new cleaning head combines intelligence and performance, removing even the finest particles and long hairs without tangling.
