Fluffy cones of pencilvac seems even better, they described the head like it floating on the floor, I hope someday we’ll see a similar version for the standard models (maybe a slimmer version of it)
I have a PencilVac that I had shipped from Japan. It is as you described, with the head feeling like it's floating.

However I generally prefer the v15 just for the way better suction power and other things.
 
Is it going to be its own vacuum with filters and such? If so that's just another thing to clean and maintain.
I think so, from what I've seen of designs. They redirect air through the machine to essentially clear it all out and unclog etc. But better design (coming) does all this automatically anyway without an emptying station. It's a false economy, ultimately, as above.

I'm not immediately sure how they could improve on the V16 head's general design and core features, other than a few tweaks here and there. It's such a revolution over any other head I've ever seen or used. I'd never go back to a single linear bar head now I've actually used a dual, cantilevered, frustoconical, all-floors head.
 
If it actually clears out the cyclones that's pretty interesting I'm not going to lie. However I don't think that alone is enough to warrant a giant and most likely very expensive base station.

Especially for households like mine where 1 battery charge typically requires 3-5 dumps (V15). I don't see the point, its not going to save you much if any effort.

I do see the point on robo vacs that have the feature, as they can at least in theory be ignored longer with the feature.

I have a cordless bagless power nozzle canister vacuum from Toshiba that self empties into its docking station. It's called a VC-NSX1. Mine is the red one.

And most importantly, it's not the floorhead's fault. It's most likely the connectors on it. However, too bad I'm too poor to even buy even a V8, let alone a V16, so I'd need help from somebody with a working V16. But still, that new dual-cones floorhead definitely is as legendary and exemplary as you say - too bad its stuff and Dyson's oversight crippled the V16, at least the batch that launched and you reviewed.

@Vacuum Facts, the only issue with the new floorhead I can think of is the angled front slightly reduces corner cleaning performance. As for the docking station however... I don't care about. You just have to empty the bin hygienically and easily and quickly.

Unless there's been abuse, cyclones don't ever need clearing out. The discharge chamber is emptied when you empty the bin anyway. It's more any blinded meshes etc. that it automatically treats with reverse flows. Again, better design (coming) does this automatically without a dock. Shroud blinding rarely happens on the V16 under normal, real-world use, distinct from utterly moronic building site abuse testing, due to it's revolutionary new first stage separator design that, incidentally, the low IQ, exploitative cretins out there have literally ignored in their 'reviews'—a feat of weakness exceeded only by the absence of this being noticed by the consumers of social media trash. Pathetic, everywhere you look. The single most important point, though, is the false economy and the mindless consumer cattle out there that now think docks are a good idea and any manufacturer that doesn't have one is inferior because, ironically, they're actually beneficial and compensatory to inferior technology from inferior, exploitative manufacturers. People need to recognise the inferiority of a false economy deriving from a broken economic model that allows regression and exploitation rather than genuine and meaningful technological improvement.

honey Dyson is first of all a global company of course they need “false economy” because they need to sell just like other company like Apple and samsung, it’s like saying water is wet…but (at least for me) James Dyson and their products are exquisitely engineered, Even a mainstream market product can be revolutionary or unique, so if they improved the concept of a dock station in a good way what’s the problem! Good design is how product works and that’s because Dyson it’s always been a pioneer of this industry, they design their products for real Needs and the need in question is that people after 2/3 years have clogging cyclones, also consumers (not people in this forum that we are aware of many things about this topic) are usually very distracted and Indifferent about the product care and maintenance of their vacuum so a dock that really cleans the inside chamber separation can be really useful (if this dock really works this way) if not, it will be just another option to buy for people that have money and maybe wants “the new Dyson accessory”

I've heard statements similar to this many, many times. Yet, funnily, not once have I ever seen a dot of convincing objective evidence showing how to reproduce it—i.e. what is necessary to distinguish fact from myth. That contradiction is very informative. I've no reason to believe it's anything other than a myth, because I simply can't reproduce it.

On better designed products, it already cleans itself automatically without a dock. The point was that inferior technology requires a dock. Something unnecessary is being peddled at the expense of the customer. This is what a false economy is, and until recently, Dyson haven't really done that. Vacuum cleaner bags, disposable ancilliaries, and paper towels are other examples of false economies.
