Q&A
Q: Why choose the Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine vs regular cordless vacuum?
A: Because besides powerful dry cleaning, you also get wet-roller cleaning, anti-tangle brush, long run-time, and features that simplify maintenance like the dust compactor—more functionality in one device.
Q: Is the wet roller good for regular mopping or just small spills?
A: It’s designed for smaller spills and stains on hard flooring, not for large-scale mopping. The hydration control helps avoid over-wetting.
Q: How heavy is it and can it be used easily on stairs?
A: At about 3.4 kg, it is on the heavier side compared to lighter cordless vacuums, but the design and wand make it usable for stairs albeit with care.
Q: What maintenance does it need?
A: Regular emptying of the bin, especially since the compactor does compression; cleaning/inspecting the filters; keeping the wet roller clean; occasional cleaning of brushes.
Q: Does the Copper / Black version differ in performance compared to other color versions?
A: No. The color finish is purely aesthetic. All versions of Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine share the same internal specs and capabilities
