The Dyson V16 Piston Animal intelligently senses changes in floor types and automatically adjusts suction power and brush bar speed³ for delicate cleaning on hard floors, and deep cleaning on carpets. It also features the new CleanCompaktor™ bin that compresses dust and debris to hold up to 30 days of dust, with a new hygienic bin emptying mechanism that wipes the bin as you empty, so no dust or hair is left in the bin⁵.
“Today’s homes need cleaning solutions that keep up with busy lives, without compromising on performance. Dyson engineers solve the problems others ignore, and we thrive on the challenge of creating better technology. The Dyson V16 Piston Animal features a new dual conical brush bar cleaner head that detangles even the longest hair. A new motor delivers 315AW of powerful, fade-free suction, while sensors and smart brush technology automatically adapt cleaning performance across floor types. All these technologies combine into a single vacuum, offering a powerful, uninterrupted cleaning experience that adapts to real life messes.”

New All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head
Where intelligence meets performance
The new All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head features two conical brush bars that ejects even the longest hair² as it is picked up, preventing hair from wrapping and tangling around the brush bar. The conical shape encourages hair migration from the thicker ends in the middle to the thinner, outer end, before being sucked up directly into the bin.
It intelligently adapts to different floor types³. Beyond adjusting suction when it senses a change in floor types, it also automatically adjusts brush bar rotation speeds, slowing down to delicately clean hard floors with improved acoustics, and speeding up for maximum agitation when cleaning carpets for optimal cleaning performance.
The new All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head effectively combines the high performance of the Dyson Digital Motorbar on carpets and Dyson Fluffy cleaner heads on hard floors into one convenient solution. It provides powerful pick-up performance on both hard floors and carpets, without needing to switch cleaner heads as you clean.
