Dyson just announced a slew of new gadgets at its Dyson Unveiled event in Berlin, showcasing the latest innovations across its product range. Unsurprisingly, the stars of the show were Dyson’s vacuums, the company working hard to maintain its reputation for being at the forefront of suction technology.
Here’s a rundown of all new vacuums revealed at Dyson Unveiled.

If you’re looking for the most advanced new cordless vacuum in Dyson’s lineup, the V16 Piston Animal is where you should turn your attention. Like previous vacuums in Dyson’s range, the V16 Piston Animal is mounted with a green light so you can see the dust you’re vacuuming up, and uses air resistance to automatically detect the floor type and adjust its suction accordingly. However, it also introduces several new features designed to make both cleaning and maintenance easier.
One of the most immediately noticeable changes is the V16 Piston Animal’s dual conical brush bar, which is designed to suck up long hair measuring up to 60 centimetres without tangling. Instead, the strands are directed to the external ends of the bar so they can be sucked up into the bin.
The V16 Piston Animal also adds a manual compression system enabling users to push down the contents of its dust bin. This not only means you can go longer without emptying the bin, but it’s also less messy to do so, as you can use the same mechanism to push the debris out. Dyson has announced that it will further release a self-emptying dock for the V16 Piston Animal next year.
Switching between vacuum heads is less of a hassle as well, as a new release mechanism on the V16 Piston Animal’s stick allows users to detach them without having to bend over. The V16 Piston Animal is further compatible with Dyson’s new Submarine 2.0 wet roller, an additional motorised accessory which turns the V16 Piston Animal into a wet and dry vacuum. This head seems impressively lightweight and manoeuvrable in comparison to other dedicated wet and dry vacuums, and is certainly a space saver if you’re only handling small areas and don’t want to house an entire separate unit.
Though the U.S. release date and pricing have not yet been announced, the V16 Piston Animal is available in Australia and the UK from today.

For those who do want to pick up a separate wet and dry vacuum, the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene is here to fill that void. While the Clean+Wash Hygiene carries its clean water tank on its trunk, it deviates from some of its competitors by mounting its dirty water tank on the vacuum head. According to Dyson, this means the dirty water has less distance to travel through the wet and dry vacuum, minimising the chance of clogging and risk of odor. It also doesn’t use a filter, catching everything right in the vacuum head.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene’s other features include its microfibre roller with nylon bristles for assisting in stain removal, as well as a self-cleaning function and 185F (85C) hot-air drying dock to reduce the need for manual maintenance. Like the Submarine 2.0 wet roller, the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene is also compatible with non-foaming cleaning fluid, for those who want to go the extra mile when cleaning their floor.
While the Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene will land in Australia and the UK in the first half of 2026, it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer for news of a U.S. release.
Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum

Dyson made its long awaited reentry into the robot vacuum market last year, releasing the 360 Vis Nav to curious consumers. Sadly, the 360 Vis Nav was largely underwhelming, particularly compared to competitors in the robot vacuum scene.
Fortunately, Dyson is working to up its game, introducing the Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum. The Spot+Scrub Ai appears to be a significant improvement over the 360 Vis Nav, offering features it lacked such as mopping functionality (with a cleaning fluid compartment) and a dock enabling it to empty itself. Arguably the most exciting update is the Spot+Scrub Ai dock’s bagless build, meaning users can simply empty the dust bin just like they would on a Dyson stick vacuum.
Despite these improvements, the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai does still lag behind the competition. Self-emptying and mopping are already fairly standard features in robot vacuums, which have moved on to improving threshold clearance and experimenting with prehensile arms. Dyson told Mashable that the Spot+Scrub Ai can clear ledges up to 20 millimetres high, which is fairly standard.
Still, bagless robot vacuums remain relatively uncommon, giving the Spot+Scrub Ai an interesting point of difference. It will be interesting to see how Dyson will continue to innovate down this path.
The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai robot vacuum is scheduled to arrive in Australia and the UK during the first half of 2026, with no word yet on the U.S. launch.
Dyson V8 Cyclone cordless vacuum

The Dyson V8 cordless vacuum was originally released back in 2016, and has since been followed by the V10, V11, V12 Slim, and V15 Detect. Even so, the V8 remains one of Dyson’s most popular vacuums, thanks in no small part to its comparatively less prohibitive price point. Dyson has now released an upgraded version, so that more people can enjoy improved suction.
Dyson states that the new V8 Cyclone vacuum has 30 percent more suction power than the original V8, and can run for up to 60 minutes on a full charge as opposed to 40. The V8 Cyclone no longer requires users to hold down a trigger either, turning on and off with the press of a button. Fortunately, the V8 Cyclone will be compatible with existing V8 attachments, and like the V16 Piston Animal, it will also get a self-emptying dock next year.
The V8 Cyclone is available in Australia and the UK today, with the U.S. release date and pricing to be announced.

While the Dyson PencilVac was technically unveiled in May, this ultra slim stick vacuum still received some attention at Dyson Unveiled. Measuring 38 millimetres in diameter, the PencilVac’s improbably thin design is achieved by an airflow system which compresses the dust and debris it picks up. The result is a vacuum that looks as though it doesn’t have a dust bin at all, with everything stored in the vacuum’s handle.
The PencilVac also utilises four fluffy cone-shaped brush bars (all the better to avoid tangled hair) and is equipped with green lights on both its front and back. This enables users to see the dust to pick up, as well as the clean floor left behind. Alongside the PencilVac’s lightweight design and considerable manoeuvrability, it seems as though it will be fairly adept at reaching difficult to clean crevices.
The Dyson PencilVac has already been available in Australia and the UK since August, but will arrive in the U.S. next year.
