Just hours after its latest 'Unveiled' event, Dyson has launched three new products that are already available to purchase, including a fresh take on a beloved model.
Announced at IFA 2025, Dyson's biggest product launch to date saw a grand total of 11 products introduced to the brand's lineup. Ranging from floor care to air purifiers and hairstylers, the brand's innovations spanned across its 2026 pipeline, with some products set for release in the new year.
That said, Dyson has already launched three new products in the U.K. and AU markets post-announcement. These include two cordless vacuum cleaners — the Dyson V16 Piston Animal and the newest V8 iteration, the Cyclone — and one new bladeless fan, the Cool CF1.
After some hands-on time at an Australia-based event, two products have piqued my interest the most — and I already have a feeling one will become quite the fan favourite among the Dyson aficionados out there.
New powerful cordless vacuums coming our way
Available at Dyson AU and Dyson UK from today (September 5), Dyson's "most powerful" cordless vacuum, the V16 Piston Animal, retailing at AU$1,349 / £749.99, is designed for whole-home cleaning. Featuring a 900W ultra high-speed motor, a new anti-tangle conical brush bar head, a compacting dustbin, and built-in crevice tools, the V16 can deep clean across different surfaces, automatically adjusting suction power when it senses a new floor type.
The V16 Piston Animal can also suck up the longest hair strands (up to 60cm) without tangles, thanks to its new cleaner head and can hold up to 30 days' worth of debris with its compactor-like bin. The V16 also comes with the option to add on the latest Submarine 2.0 wet roller head, which takes it from vacuum to a wet-dry floor washer.
What I liked most about the new V16 model is the fact that it has a remote release design, meaning you don't need to worry about bending down to change attachments. The vacuum was relatively easy to maneuver and could easily be one of the most powerful cordless vacuums I've tried, as it almost zoomed away when I was taking it on a test drive. And personally, I am a fan of the new black copper colorway, which is a refreshing stray away from the Dyson standard of grey/purple.
However, I was much more impressed by the latest generation of a certified bestseller, the V8 Cyclone. Available for AU$649 / £349.99, this is a welcome upgrade to the original V8 model, which launched in 2016. Housing 30% more suction power, the V8 Cyclone has a 50% longer runtime, and can provide up to 60 minutes of fade-free cleaning.
The difference between the V8 and the V8 Cyclone? The new triggerless power button and three cleaning modes, instead of the predecessor's two. Existing V8 owners can interchange old attachments with the new model, too, making it an ideal choice for those looking to merely upgrade their ageing vacuum.
Much like the Piston Animal, I quite liked the colorway of the new V8, which sports a sleek black finish with red and olive touches. Again, the V8 Cyclone was lightweight, easy to push and could easily clean a small-to-medium-sized home within its battery life.
Has Dyson missed a trick?
The only downside (which isn't that bad in my opinion) is that these new models won't have compatible self-emptying docks for purchase until next year. While this isn't a total deal breaker, it may sway some from jumping aboard the new Dyson bandwagon, especially if you're keen to invest in the newer tech.
Customers in AU and the U.K. can purchase these new products exclusively on Dyson's website right now; however, U.S. pricing and availability are still TBC. But fret not — we'll keep you posted on the U.S. release date as soon as it appears.
