Dyson’s vacuum lineup had a new look planned for this year. Some of the vacuums have already arrived, like the Dyson PencilVac and Dyson Spot+Scrub robot vacuum, but others we’ve still been waiting to see. That wait is over as of this month, as Dyson has finally dropped the rest of its anticipated models.
Dyson now has three new cordless vacuums you can shop, plus one with a Submarine head variant: the Dyson V16 Piston Animal ($980) and Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine ($1,100), the Dyson V10 Konical ($500), and the Dyson V8 Cyclone ($400). On top of the other vacuums the brand has launched this year, Dyson’s lineup is bigger than ever.
Here’s what’s different about each of the new models, what’s still to come, and whether or not it’s time to start shopping for a new Dyson vacuum.

Dyson calls the V16 Piston Animal ($980) its most powerful cordless vacuum yet. It has 315 air-watts of suction power and a new Dyson Hyperdymium 900-watt motor. There’s a new cleaner head—the All Floor Cones Sense—with conical brush bars that look a bit like the PencilVac Fluffycones, with a similar design and color scheme. The All Floor Cones Sense head also promises to detect changes in floor type and respond automatically (hence the “Sense”). It also still comes with the Fluffy Optic cleaner head for hard floors, as seen on the V15 Detect and Gen5detect.
The V16 Piston Animal also has a debris bin that can compress dust and debris, allowing it to hold up to 30 days’ worth. It also has an emptying mechanism now that lets you push out the debris, making it easier to empty. Dyson has promised a self-emptying docking station for this model, but it’s not yet available; Dyson says it’ll be available to purchase in the future.
There’s also a Submarine variant that retails for $1,100. That version adds on a wet roller head similar to the V15 Detect Submarine, but Dyson says this version has new hydration control technology for more targeted water use while cleaning, and a boost mode when you’re dealing with stains.
Dyson V10 Konical

The Dyson V10 Konical ($500) is Dyson’s first self-emptying vacuum, but the massive docking station you’ll sometimes see it photographed with—the auto-empty Dok, which will retail for $150—won’t be available to purchase until August.
