At a glance
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine is a premium wet and dry cordless stick vacuum for pet owners and busy households with mixed floors. It stands out for strong suction, anti-tangle hair pickup, hard-floor washing and long runtime up to 70 minutes. It also converts to a handheld for cars and upholstery. One limitation is that the wet roller head is designed for hard floors, not deep carpet washing.
What it’s great for
- Pet hair removal
- Mixed-floor cleaning
- Hard-floor washing
- Everyday whole-home cleaning
- Car and upholstery cleaning
Where it works best
- Family homes
- Pet-friendly homes
- Apartments with hard floors
- Multi-surface homes
- Cars
Who it’s for
- Pet owners
- Busy families
- Allergy-conscious households
- Renters wanting cordless convenience
- Premium appliance shoppers
Things to consider
The Submarine 2.0 wet roller head is best for sealed hard floors and spills, so it is not a substitute for a dedicated carpet washer or deep-cleaning specialist machine.
Pet hair performance score
9.5/10 - Excellent fit for pet households thanks to strong suction and anti-tangle hair pickup up to 60 cm.
Carpet vs hard floor suitability
Excellent on both, with strong carpet cleaning and added hard-floor washing; wet cleaning function is for hard floors only.
Portability rating
8.5/10 - Cordless stick format and handheld conversion make it easy to move room to room, though the wet and dry system adds complexity versus simpler stick vacuums.
Noise level vs category average
About average for a high-power premium cordless vacuum, especially when used in higher power modes.
Allergy friendliness
8.5/10 - Strong sealed-filtration-focused design and cleaner bin emptying support a more hygienic cleaning experience for dust-sensitive homes.
Key benefits
- 315AW suction: Delivers very strong cordless cleaning performance for embedded dirt, pet hair and larger debris.
- 3-in-1 design: Vacuums floors, washes hard floors and converts to a handheld cleaner for added versatility around the home and car.
- Up to 70 minutes runtime: Supports longer cleaning sessions before recharging when used in eco mode on hard floors.
- Anti-tangle cleaner head: Helps remove and de-tangle pet and long hair up to 60 cm, reducing hair wrap on the brush bar.
- Submarine 2.0 wet roller head: Removes spills, dirt and tough stains on hard floors while covering more floor area.
- Floor sensing in Auto mode: Detects floor type and adapts power automatically for more appropriate cleaning across carpet and hard floors.
- CleanCompaktor bin: Compresses debris to hold up to 30 days' worth of dust and helps leave the bin cleaner during emptying.
- MyDyson app connectivity: Adds personalised cleaning stats, maintenance guidance and settings through a connected app experience.
Q: Can the wet roller head clean carpets or rugs too?
A: No. The Submarine 2.0 wet roller head is for hard floors, not carpet or rugs. For mixed flooring, use the wet head on sealed hard surfaces and switch to a dry cleaner head when moving onto carpeted areas.
Q: How long does the battery last in normal home cleaning?
A: Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine runs for up to 70 minutes in Eco mode on hard floor. Runtime drops when using higher power modes, motorised heads or tougher surfaces, so whole-home cleaning time depends on how and where it is used.
Q: Does floor sensing work in every cleaning mode?
A: No. Automatic floor adaptation works in Auto mode only. If you switch to another mode, the machine will keep that chosen power setting, which can suit fixed tasks but does not adjust itself as you move between floor types.
Q: Is it suitable for long hair and pet hair pickup?
A: Yes. Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine is engineered to remove and detangle pet and long hair up to 60cm in length. That makes it a strong fit for shedding pets, though heavy hair loads will still fill the bin faster.
Q: What does the MyDyson app add to this vacuum?
A: The MyDyson app adds personalised cleaning stats, machine performance analysis, advice and settings control. It needs Wi-Fi, a Bluetooth-enabled device, and iOS 15 or later or Android 8 or later for app features to work.
Q: Does the green light work on carpet as well?
A: No. The centre blade of light switches on automatically when cleaning hard floors to show fine dust that is harder to see in normal room light. It is useful for tiles, timber and similar surfaces, rather than carpet cleaning.
