Dyson has released the remaining models of its 2026 vacuum lineup, adding three new cordless vacuums and a Submarine wet-dry variant, according to WIRED. The new models—the Dyson V16 Piston Animal, Dyson V10 Konical, and Dyson V8 Cyclone—expand the brand's cordless line to cover a wider price-performance spectrum.
Dyson V16 Piston Animal: Flagship Power
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal ($980) is the most powerful cordless vacuum Dyson has ever built, WIRED reported. It delivers 315 air-watts of suction driven by a new Dyson Hyperdymium 900-watt motor. A new cleaner head—the All Floor Cones Sense—uses conical brush bars and dynamically adjusts suction based on floor type. The model also includes a Fluffy Optic head for hard floors. A debris bin compresses dust to hold up to 30 days of dirt. Dyson has promised a self-emptying docking station for the V16, but it is not yet available.
A Submarine variant ($1,100) adds a wet roller head with hydration control technology for targeted water use and a boost mode for stains.
Dyson V10 Konical: First Self-Emptying Model
The Dyson V10 Konical ($500) is Dyson's first self-emptying vacuum, though the required auto-empty Dok ($150) will not ship until August, according to WIRED. It produces 150 air-watts of suction and includes only the standard All Floor Cones head—not the Sense version. Run time is 60 minutes with HEPA filtration.
Dyson V8 Cyclone: Affordable Update
The Dyson V8 Cyclone ($400) revamps the previous V8 with 30 percent more suction power and a full hour of run time. It matches the V10 Konical's 150 air-watts but switches to a button power control instead of a trigger. It comes with the older Motorbar Cleaner head (similar to the V15 Detect) and a crevice tool. The V8 Cyclone is also compatible with the same $150 auto-empty Dok arriving in August.

Manufacturing & Supply Chain Context
For manufacturing executives and procurement professionals, Dyson’s 2026 lineup signals continued investment in high-performance motor technology (the 900-watt Hyperdymium) and sensor-driven cleaner heads that may require advanced component sourcing. The introduction of a self-emptying dock (the auto-empty Dok, $150) indicates Dyson is moving toward integrated accessories that could affect supplier relationships for docking station components. The Submarine model’s hydration control suggests new precision fluid-delivery components. Although no production volumes or factory locations were disclosed, the range expansion—from a $400 V8 to a $1,100 Submarine—points to a broad manufacturing strategy targeting multiple price tiers. The delay of the self-emptying dock until August may reflect supply chain or certification challenges.
