Things to consider
This model offers broad wet-and-dry versatility, but buyers who only need basic dry vacuuming may find simpler stick vacuums better value.
Pet hair performance score
9.5/10 - purpose-built for pet hair with anti-tangle pickup, strong suction and a dedicated hair tool.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Excellent on both carpet and hard floors, with added wet cleaning for sealed hard floors.
Portability rating
9/10 - cordless stick design, handheld conversion and wall mounting make it easy to move and store.
Noise level vs category average
8/10 - rated under 78 dBA in carpet eco mode, which is relatively controlled for a high-performance cordless stick vacuum.
Allergy friendliness
8.5/10 - strong sealed filtration with 99.99% particle capture down to 0.1 microns helps reduce fine dust escape during cleaning.
Key benefits
- 3-in-1 cleaning: Vacuums, washes hard floors and converts to a handheld unit so one machine can handle everyday whole-home cleaning.
- Strong suction: Up to 315 AW of suction helps lift embedded dirt and pet hair from carpets and hard floors.
- Long cordless runtime: Up to 70 minutes of runtime supports longer cleaning sessions before recharging.
- Anti-tangle hair pickup: The cleaner head and hair tool are engineered to remove and de-tangle pet and long hair for easier maintenance.
- Wet hard floor cleaning: The Submarine 2.0 wet roller head helps remove dirt, spills and tougher stains from sealed hard floors.
- Smart floor adaptation: The Sense cleaner head automatically adjusts to floor type in Auto mode for more suitable cleaning performance across surfaces.
- Advanced filtration: Captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns to help keep finer dust inside the machine.
- Large bagless bin: The 1.5 L bin gives more capacity for bigger cleans before emptying.
Q: Can the Submarine 2.0 wet roller head be used on carpet or rugs?
A: No. The Submarine 2.0 wet roller head is designed for sealed hard floors, where it removes spills, grime and tougher marks. For carpet and rugs, switch to a vacuum cleaner head, as the wet head is not intended for soft floor washing.
Q: Is the Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine a good fit for homes with pets and long hair?
A: Yes. This model is built around Dyson's anti-tangle system, with a double conical brush bar that spirals hair into the bin and is engineered to handle pet hair and long hair up to 25 inches, or about 60cm, in length.
Q: What battery life should I expect in normal use from this Dyson V16?
A: Runtime depends on the mode and floor type. Dyson states 70 minutes in Eco mode on hard floor testing, while higher power modes and heavier carpet work will reduce that, so whole-home cleans are more realistic in Auto or mixed-mode use.
Q: What does the CleanCompaktor bin do in everyday use?
A: It compresses collected dust and debris inside the bin, so this model can hold the equivalent of 30 days of dust before needing to be emptied, based on Dyson's claim. The wipe-clean emptying design also helps reduce hair left caught in the bin.
Q: What does the MyDyson app add to this vacuum?
A: The app adds machine-connected features rather than extra suction. It can show personalised cleaning stats, performance analysis, care advice and settings, but it requires Wi-Fi, a compatible iOS or Android device, and Bluetooth 4.0 or later.
Q: Does the illuminated cleaner head work all the time on every floor type?
A: No. The light is designed to reveal fine dust on hard floors and switches on automatically when cleaning those surfaces. It is most useful on tiles, timber and laminate, rather than carpet, where the illumination effect is less relevant.
