Dyson V16 Piston Animal
A
Ranked #4 in Cordless Stick Vacuums
Backed by 4 cited sources
Covered by 4 outlets
Dyson's new ~$1,000+ flagship: genuinely tangle-free CoreFlow head, big bin, 70-minute runtime and an optional Submarine wet head - but reviewers found no real suction advantage over its predecessors and dislike the curved floorhead's edge cleaning. Excellent, not a must-have at this price.
