Dyson V16 Piston Animal
Dyson's new US flagship stick took over the top of the range in early 2026, and the Gen5detect it outranks is now out of stock. It is rated at 315 AW with 70 minutes of runtime and a 0.35 gal bin, and Dyson rates its filtration at 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 micron. It weighs 7.5 lb and costs $979.99 with no discount on Dyson's store. Dyson also sells it with a Floor Dok ($879.99 everyday) or an Auto-empty Dok ($1,099.99).
