The Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine is a massive disappointment and a major step backward from the V15. Despite its premium price, it suffers from severe design flaws, poor suction, high maintenance, and an unusable wet-cleaning head.Main Cleaner Head & Suction FlawsFlicks debris: Fails to lift dirt on the first pass and actively scatters everyday debris around.Counterintuitive gap: A physical gap in the center of the head misses dirt entirely.Poor real-world testing: The design feels completely untested in actual household environments.Bulky build: The head is too large and bulky to maneuver under beds and low furniture.Inferior suction: Provides noticeably worse performance than the older V15 model.Submarine Wet-Head FailuresFrequent leaks: Spillages occur easily during standard operation.Messy results: Leaves streaks of dirty water along baseboards and skirting boards.Extra work: A feature meant to simplify cleaning actually creates more cleanup chores.Usability & Maintenance IssuesIncompatible attachments: Older, expensive Dyson tools will not fit this new connection standard.High maintenance: The air filter requires frequent, frustrating cleanings to maintain function.Restricted airflow: A tiny internal inlet connector bottlenecks suction and chokes on normal dirt.Undersized bin: The dust bin fills too quickly, rendering the tamp-down feature useless.Final VerdictThis machine requires twice the effort for half the results. It completely damages Dyson's reputation for engineering excellence, and it is being returned.

Ended up returning our Piston for a full refund as it did not suck up animal hair from the carpet. It just pushed it into clumps. Very disappointed .

Bought two weeks ago,submarine head would not aligne,stay on.Received replacement went together and appeared to work ,but now will not reassemble Extremely dissappointed as happy with the rest of the product and will be asking for a refund.Really really poor.

I'm extremely disappointed with this product. It feels poorly designed and not properly tested in real-world conditions. The vacuum tends to flick debris around rather than picking it up efficiently, meaning I have to go over the same area multiple times just to get a decent result. The main cleaner head is also surprisingly noisy, and the automatic switching between carpet and hard floor modes is unreliable. It's often slow to respond, and at times it switches into carpet mode even when I'm using it on wooden flooring, which makes no sense and affects performance. The optional Submarine head is equally underwhelming. Instead of cleaning properly, it tends to spread dirty water across the floor, leaving visible streaks. It's also frustrating to clean after use, and the base scratches very easily as it drags along the floor. Overall, this feels like a substandard product that doesn't live up to expectations, especially from a brand like Dyson.

Assez content de l'´aspirateur. Le seul problème : le filtre à nettoyer souvent alors qu'il reste beaucoup de place dans le réservoir à poussière. Je n'ai pas encore essayé le lavage du sol.

L'aspirateur est incroyable On ne s'imagine pas toutes les poussières qu'il peut y avoir au sol

We have had the Dyson a few weeks now. Yes as a hoover it has great hoover/suction ability and I like the way the head has good maneuverability. However, we have found the filter system blocks very quickly and we have to clean the filter after every couple of uses which although straightforward is a pain. The hoover comes with plenty of attachments that make it a versatile tool around the house but I tried to use it to hoover the car and it just doesn't work hoover and attachments together make it to long to use effectively within a confined space. Ergonomically the hoover is pleasant to use and look at but the colored plastic marks easy and the long steel hoover pipe marks/dents easily when using under chairs, tables etc. Would i recommend it sorry no personally I dont think it was worth the money for what we paid and after only a couple of weeks it looks a couple of years old. I'm not a fan at all if however you like the Dyson name I'm sure you will like this hoover. We have had many makes and we have had Dyson before and again to my better judgement we got another and I wish we had not bought it.

Very heavy…mopping not the best…not worth the value like the previous ones I have had

L'aspiration se bloque trop rapidement, malgré des nettoyages complets. Si vous avez des animaux, le V15 (en tout cas chez nous) est plus performant.

Doesn't like pile rugs Already been back to be fixed ,,one week of buying, Not worth the money
