A new flagship vacuum from Dyson has recently been unveiled. He follows Gen5detect, so maybe it will be a gen6? Or a gen5 something else? No – it’s the Piston Dyson V16 animal.
This is all the more confusing because the front model Gen5 was detection V15. In fact, all the wrestlers of previous Dyson’s stick in the last decade have been V-Somethings (although there have been other anomalies within this structure, as I will enter shortly). If you try to determine what is the best Dyson vacuum for your needs, this irregular name system can be a big obstacle.
During an individual interview with the engineer of Dyson, Steph Parker, I decided to try to go to the bottom of things.
“I think it specifically called the” piston “, being the compacting technology, and” the animal “that it is really great with hair and hair,” said Steph when I asked questions about the name of the new model. “Gen5detect was focused specifically on the Gen5 engine.
“All names are relevant to technology, but I sometimes do not know the most coherent in our range.”
It is time for a little general information. The V16 has a lever on the dust cup that crushes the content to allow you to integrate more – it is the bit that is called a “piston”.
Remonding in Gen5detect, and the reason for the introduction of a new denomination structure was that this model has a whole new engine design. Dyson wanted to emphasize this and distinguish Gen5 from all V-Somethings. (The engine was again reworked for the V16, although the bowels of the new version are closer to the Gen5 or the V15 is the assumption of anyone.)
Rewinding even more than the V15 detects, and the “detect” part, if I understand correctly, is to be seen with the detection capacities of the dust of this void, the laser on the head of the ground. These two features are present on the Gen5detect, and moreover also the V16, but I suppose that this is old news now.
The “animal” part of the name of the Piston V16 animal is particularly confusing for me. As a rule, this suffix would indicate a different package, with an additional tool specifically for the handling of animal hair.
I questioned Steph on this subject, and she explained that this was not the case here: the piston animal V16 is the main version. “It’s more that it is a versatile for animal hair, and that I can really face [well] with hair. “”
Dyson regularly adds suffixes like “complete” or “extra” to its suction options, and there is rarely consistency in the way these terms are used. My favorite, “absolute”, can sometimes refer to a different suction level, a better filter or a different color – the only way to understand which is to make a meticulous cross reference.
What is in a name?
Historically, Dyson’s vacuum names have been more consistent: the brand adopted the V-something format and has progressed the figures. Above all.
There is no V13 or V14, and I cannot completely go to the bottom of reason – although they are both considered unlucky numbers in certain cultures, which could be part of it.
Before I started writing this, I had the impression that there was not V9 either. But here it is, there seems to be a Dyson V9 (there is even a vacuum with damp underwater V9 which is recently launched in Australia). As a person who regularly performs deep images in Dyson products stories, this discovery is disturbing to say the least. Another background reading, however, denies the existence of a V9, with commentators saying that the “V9” engine has been used in Dyson’s hair care outings instead. At present, this model remains something of an enigma.
The brand has also opted for a “Dyson Cyclone V10”, which bothers me – especially since the new revised V8 has just been baptized the V8 Cyclone. But I will accept that it may be only a problem for pedantic writers who just want a little consistency.
For the record, here is an overview of the current range:
