Powerful on carpets but gentle on hard floors, this appliance features Dyson’s Hyperdymium™ 900W digital motor that offers up to 315 AW fade-free suction2. It is also optimised to remove short animal fur and detangle long hair, making it ideal for households with pets. Additionally, this unit packs in a massive bin that can compress and hold up to 30 days' worth of dust6, so you can enjoy weeks of uninterrupted cleaning without the hassle of frequent emptying.

Key Features

  • Powerful Cleans: Experience the most powerful anti-tangle cordless vacuum1. Boasting Dyson’s Hyperdymium™ 900W digital motor, the V16 Piston Animal produces up to 315 AW of fade-free suction2. It also incorporates a fully-sealed five-stage filtration system, optimised to capture up to 99.99% of particles such as allergens, bacteria, and viruses that are as small as 0.1 microns3.
  • Streamlined Performance: With the All Floor Cones™ Sense cleaner head, captured dust and debris are effectively separated to prevent loss in suction. It also intelligently detects your floor type and automatically adapts its settings depending on your task4.

  • Never Miss Any Dirt: Illuminate invisible dust using this unit’s centred blade of light, which automatically turns on when cleaning hard floors.
  • Intuitive Interface: This vacuum cleaner comes with an LCD screen, which shows how it calculates and categorises picked-up particles while you clean. It also seamlessly increases suction power once it detects a higher volume of particles present on your surfaces.

Reviews
Dyson V16 Piston Animal Handstick Vacuum Cleaner - Bright Copper/Black (496018-01) is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 103.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from All round excellence.. Admittedly we are Dyson fans but this new vacuum is far and away the BEST EVER. Our old one has had a lot of use and it replaced an even earlier Dyson vacuum.. all have been good but this is in a league of it's own. The things we like: rechargeable, no cable, compactor is good, weight is good, manoeuvrability is excellent. The things we love: a full charge lasts for the whole house, the light on the front is an incredible step forward in vacuum innovation, the suction never dies off, the automatic setting really is automatic.. we could go on but suffice to say - no downsides, love it. Well done Dyson, you really have moved the dial this time.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from More frustration than cleaning I don’t know if we’ve just got a dud but 3 weeks in and this has proven to be a terrible purchase. Regularly claims it’s blocked when it isn’t (which renders it unusable until fixed). This happens 2-3 times a week. It has required 3 filter cleans in 3 weeks and the auto floor detection continually swaps between hard floor and carpet when the floor hasn’t changed. Certainly the one we have isn’t fit for purpose

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 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!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not the Dyson product that we've grown to love! I bought this as a Christmas present. The performance has been very, very disappointing. We have a V6 and one later hand held Dyson which both function better. To pick up dog hair, the vacuum needs to pass over four or five times as compared to once with the earlier model. The head does no tangle the dog hair, but struggles to function as advertised. I would like to return this product because, in our case, doesn't function as expected.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from The corkscrew head Sucked very well. But after the 3rd short use it kept on saying airflow problem and turned off. It is very heavy on the arm with all the weight at the top of the machine and you are supporting all that weight. It doesn't take long before your arm starts to ache. Returned

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Another good product from Dyson [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum looks good, lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Gives you different settings depending on power, love the screen that tells you how much time you have left until you need to recharge. If you use 'auto' the suction alters depending on the floor type which is clever. Tools are good for sofas and stairs etc. There is a light on the front which is a little bright, but shows where you need to clean. Only had this product for a couple of days, but if it lasts for a long time then it would be worth the larger price tag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommended 10/10 especially with pets I have always been a Dyson fan, my last Dyson was a hand down to my son who moved to his own place, still in great working condition after 4 years. I decided to upgrade to the Piston Animal stick vacuum, I have two mini Dachshunds, they shed a lot. This machine is phenomenal, the motor is silent and with the built in light, I can easy see where there is still dog hair lingering around. I also love that I do not have to empty the bin after each use because it allows me to compress the dust and hair. Battery life is long unless you put it on Turbo, but it is enough to do a 5 bedroom house. I love it and can highly recommend.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from 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.
