Dyson unveiled its newest set of products, led by the V16 Piston Animal vacuum and new type of air purifier called Hushjet. I got hands-on experience with them at a media event in Toronto and saw how the new designs and features look and feel. I also talk about the Purifier Cool PC1 and Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP2 De-Nox. Let’s jump right in.
Dyson V16 Piston Animal stick vacuum
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal takes the company’s familiar stick vacuum design and makes some engineering changes. On the inside, the 900W Hyperdymium motor is said to improve suction, especially for carpets and pesky pet hair. An onboard sensor also tells the cleaner head what kind of surface it’s cleaning, letting it adjust to hardwood floors, tiles, and carpets/rugs without you having to do anything.
The floorhead includes a green laser light that can illuminate finer dust particles and debris in front of it. This is useful when tougher areas need another pass to pick up whatever the V16 didn’t capture the first time. Longer hairs are less likely to tangle and wrap around the floorhead’s roller, which spits them out as bundled hairballs that you can easily pick up and throw in the trash, if you prefer.
Dyson also promises the CleanCompaktor bin will be less messy to deal with. Not only does it use a compression system that holds up to 30 days’ worth of dust and debris, it also has a wiper all around the inner bin to sweep out dust sitting along the edges without getting your hands dirty.
Those who hate having to bend down to replace the floorhead might really like the redesigned system here. Dyson is getting rid of the push-button latch and replacing it with a magnetic setup where you twist and then pull away to detach a tool. This means the older tools will only work with a special adapter on the new V16. Dyson will also have newer versions of the tools to work directly with the magnetic system. Having seen how it works in person, it wouldn’t surprise me if seniors and those dealing with physical impairment will take kindly to this move.
I imagine they might also feel the same way about the extra battery life. Dyson claims the V16 will run for up to 70 minutes per charge, albeit at the more economical Eco mode. It will definitely vary in the other modes.
V16 Piston Animal Submarine wet and dry vacuum
The new V16 Piston Animal Submarine brings both wet and dry cleaning to the same floorhead. The roller uses high-density microfibre to scrub hard floors while spraying water in tiny increments from the onboard 300ml tank. For tougher messes, a Boost hydration mode increases water flow. All told, Dyson says a full water tank is good enough for 1,180 sq. ft. of hard flooring in a single clean.
I tried this out myself with ketchup stains on a hardwood floor and it removed them pretty efficiently. Granted, the stains were fresh but in case of an accidental spill, the V16 with the Submarine 2.0 should be up to the task of removing them.
Hushjet compact purifier
There’s a reason why Dyson calls this the Hushjet, and it’s because it resembles a jet engine. In doing so, the Dyson Hushjet air purifier also takes a decidedly smaller approach in that it can sit on top of a table or desk. It’s not all that “compact”, mind you, but compare it to Dyson’s current crop of air purifiers, and it looks like a shrunken alternative. (I say that in relative terms, though.) This is not something you park on your home office desk. It will likely sit on the floor more often than not.
The idea is to combine the company’s proprietary filtration technology with much quieter operation. It still serves the same purpose, which is to capture dust, allergens, odours, and ultrafine pollutants for cleaner air. The difference is that it’s not supposed to make much noise. For bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices, that’s easy to appreciate.
When I leaned over to hear it at its lowest setting, I couldn’t tell it was even on. I also like that it uses an electrostatic HEPA filter, which will last a lot longer. Dyson says five years before you need to replace it—an impressive figure for any air purifier.
Both the white/silver and black/teal versions look nice, though I’m more partial to the latter, personally. The combination really pops.
Dyson Purifier Cool PC1
The Dyson Purifier Cool PC1, as its name implies, focuses on air purification with a cooling airflow. It doesn’t include a heating function, like the HP2 De-Nox, so the fan may play a bigger role in hotter summer months, but it’s still ultimately designed to improve indoor air quality.
Dyson claims the HEPA H13 filter system captures 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, while activated carbon neutralizes household odours and gases. Given how the company has utilized this form factor for several years at this point, the bladeless design still works to reduce noise while circulating purified air throughout the room. The integrated air quality sensors automatically adjust settings to track pollutants in real time and maintain optimal conditions. As always, you can see all of that in the Dyson Link app.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP2 De-Nox
The Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP2 De-Nox goes further because it’s both an air purifier and climate control system. Dyson adds the ability to capture nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) emissions, the kind that come out of gas stoves, heaters, and vehicle exhaust. If you live in a big city next to a lot of traffic, it should reduce exposure to those pollutants altering the indoor air quality. Same with smoke and smog caused by wildfires.
The fully sealed HEPA and activated carbon filtration system removes 99.95% of ultrafine particles, allergens, and harmful gases. Since it also doubles as both a heater and a fan, you can make use of that to feel more comfortable in whichever room you’ve placed it in. You’ll know where you stand either from the onboard LCD screen or by checking things out in the MyDyson app.
