"The arrival of a new Dyson vacuum cleaner is always exciting for a couple of reasons. First, it's interesting to see what Dyson's engineers have developed to try to persuade us that a 750 vacuum cleaner will be a vital addition to our lives. The other is that it usually pushes down the price of older models, which is great news for bargain hunters. The Guardian's journalism is independent.

"The V16 Piston Animal has several new features, the most significant being its floor head. Besides the introduction of anti-tangle combs, we haven't seen such a departure from the status quo since Dyson launched its Fluffy floor head for hard floors back in 2015. There's arguably a good reason behind this conservatism, because Dyson's previous designs have performed brilliantly in the cleaning tests I've put them through over the years."
"As I've already alluded to, the V16's 749.99 launch price has already pushed down the prices of its predecessors. At the time of writing, some V15 models are reduced by 150, and the even more powerful Gen5detect (which launched at 850 just last year) has dropped to 549 at some places. The new V16 has its work cut out to persuade us that it's better value for money than these reliable favourites."
"How I tested The Dyson V16 Piston Animal's performance in our mat cleaning test. Composite: Andy Shaw/The Guardian I tested the Piston Animal in the same way I tested the other cordless vacuums I've reviewed for the Filter. I started by measuring the suction using a vacuum gauge somewhat problematic with Dyson vacuums because they're programmed to cut out when the airway is blocked."
Dyson's V16 Piston Animal introduces a redesigned single combination floor head for both carpet and hard floors, and includes anti-tangle combs. Previous Dyson models used separate brush bar and fluffy roller heads; past designs performed strongly in cleaning tests. The V16 launched at £749.99, which has driven price reductions on earlier models such as the V15 and Gen5detect. Some V15s are reduced by about £150 and the Gen5detect has dropped to around £549 in places. Testing measured suction with a vacuum gauge despite automatic cut-outs, and assessed mat cleaning performance to evaluate real-world effectiveness.
