Reviews
Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine Wet & Dry Handstick Vacuum Cleaner - Bright Copper/Black (496024-01) is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 61.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from All round awesomeness!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my new V16 'Submarine' 2 weeks ago and have quickly come to appreciate the UPGRADE that this machine is. It performed brilliantly on my carpets and hard flooring. The battery is certainly longer lasting (over an hour). The attachments, whilst similar to my previous machine, work exceedingly well which I put down to the extra suction of the V16.The new wet/mop function worked well although found it a little difficult to manoeuvre. One big surprise was how much quieter hoovering has become! Overall I am very pleased with all the aspects of this 'awesome' machine and would highly recommend it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don’t waste your money - use older Dyson vacuums My v15 was far better. The suction isn’t as good on BBC the v16 animal and the submarine attachment is terrible. No matter how small a space you use it on and then wash the attachment before using it on additional flooring, it leaves dirty water streaks. Please don’t waste your money. I will be returning mine. Very disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing next step in cleaning [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A household of 3 we found the vacuum excellent at picking up dirt and hair. As my partner has long hair she has found it really good to vacuum it all up, as our other dyson struggled with that. I loved the lightness and the ease of flow on the ground. The compacting slider is awesome, works great with the LCD screen telling me when to compact it. The submarine head hard floor cleaner worked really well. The water was very dirty. It was effortless as it has a self propelling head, so it pulls it along for you .I love using this this new product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Real step up in performance and quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great step up in product quality and performance than previous models. Battery life seems a lot longer and attachments are even better designed, making it more agile and delivering better suction, even in corners. Waste compactor feature is a good addition and the design and efficiency of filtration seems to be better than ever. Some previous models have been a bit fragile in places, but so far this model seems more robust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazingly better than my Gen5Detect [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent the new piston to review and as soon as I opened the boxes I knew this was something special, straight away I noticed the new design on the main body and bin end with the new integrated nozzle! And then with the new pipe design and how the main attachment head just clicks in without having to bend down which works perfectly with the submarine 2.0 when going from hovering to mopping and back again effortlessly nice touch :) The new submarine 2.0 is really good, so sustainable with only a faction of the water required when compared to using a mop and bucket, I used a quarter cap of flash floor cleaner with warm water and it worked perfectly through the house…just under 2 water tanks to clean my entire house (3bed,3bathrooms, kitchen, living room, halls and conservatory) I love the new compactor in the bin and how it displays on the screen when left compressed. The build feels so much more solid than my Gen5 detect which is less than a year old 😩 The sound and feel when switched on is so satisfying because it sounds quiet yet the suction is incredible. The display gives great information and I love the new improve live status colours based on how much it’s hoovering up. The new head is the best to date and goes from hard floor to carpet, most of my house is hard floor with some rugs, it’s works brilliantly going between both surface types albeit the head is slightly bulky. The app is a lot better with the piston in that you can actually make adjustments to the appliance in real time. I struggled to see the usage data though, just wouldn’t pick it up from the appliance. All in all I found the new V16 Piston without a doubt your best handheld hoover to date and I’m really struggling with having to send it back and it’s now made my Gen5Detect old hat and no where as good. My one gripe would be as per usual new design so new attachments design now left with bucket full of previous models attachments:(

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Super powerful suction! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The V16 vacuum performed brilliantly on both the textured slate floor and wool rugs. Battery lasted a good hour so no need to recharge part way through cleaning. The wet head struggled with both slate and wood flooring. Leaving too much water on wooden floors and unable to get into crevices in slate. I love the powerful vacuum but wet clean best with a mop!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Real Game-Changer for Cleaning [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always have a good impression about the Dyson products but I can say that the Dyson Piston animal is a game-changer. Suction is powerful , the mop function works brilliantly on hard surfaces , and the battery lasts long enough to get everything done in one go.The mop attachments leave the floor spotless , and the filtration is impressive , trapping dust and allergens effectively.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great green light , ultimate v16 piston Animal [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent pick up performance, and the green light shows fine dust and dog hairs so you can see how much it’s sucking up. The down side of the main attachment would be it doesn’t reach corners or sides you have to change to the nozzle fitting over. Battery life was great . And the easy emptying technique is good it makes it so much better than older models . It’s heavier than some models but worth it for its performance.
