Does the hack involve modifying the cleaner head? So straight suction tools are still worse? Or is it a software thing? It doesn't seem people are noticing the extra battery life over the lower cleaning performance, so i'm hoping Dyson reverses course with an update. I'm seeing a lot of...

Either way the vacuum so far looks not great. I'd love to see data and be proven wrong when it comes out, but the fact that it has those stupid spinning whisker things isn't giving me much hope. I will say being charitable in the early days of Dyson they used to use Wessel-Werk to design their...

It's really stupid that the new robot vacuum has the cyclone on the auto emptying dock but not the actual vacuum like the VisNav. That means the actual vacuuming performance is going to be terrible, it'll just clog and lose suction like other non cyclone bagless systems. Unless there's some...

i basically meant the end of the company for me, sorry, should have clarified. i definitely won't be buying any products from them that are designed by a third party with the dyson name slapped on top. that's a disgrace. what's sad is, it's not just dyson either, both miele and sebo are...

that's a huge shame @ robot, if the picea stuff is true, that thing looks terrible. their robot vacuums were never really their greatest products, but the one benefit they had over others is they genuinely vacuumed carpet well over the competition. this thing looks like it definitely won't do...

Having to do a hack to fix the vacuum is a no go for me. That's indefensible imo and I would be reaming them for it if I made the review. It basically ruins any of the good features the vacuum may have. RIP V16 for me, too bad. Maybe the next one will be better.

So are you saying your previous data was wrong and the vacuum isn't being gimped by the software unintentionally? If that's the case that's a huge shame, and I guess I won't be purchasing it ever. That means without the "hack" the vacuum is objectively a worse performer than the Gen5/V15 at...

Is the current suction performance worse than even a V8 or 10? Also it's weird they're doing a big event tomorrow in Berlin for the new robot vacuum and WashG2. But it's basically been a completely marketing less silent release for the Piston. And they had the event in Japan for the...

In theory there are benefits to having the app/software side. Say they release a different kind of cleaner head down the line and you can update so everything is compatible. There is seemingly a lot of tech packed into the new head so it makes sense in theory to be able to update things...

I'm really hoping this buggy software would explain the filter issue in FrickHelms video, where he seemingly had a lot of dust not reach it. Parwaz didn't seem to have the problem (unless he didn't notice it or forgot to show) and he vacuumed up a ridiculous amount of dust. Maybe his vacuum...

That's kinda crazy though cause that means even the included Fluffyhead would perform worse than the V15/Gen5 one. I'm not an expert on power consumption and such but your data seems pretty good unless i'm missing something. I wonder if there's some lack of communication internally in Dyson...

If they fixed that would it fix the cleaner heads performance on carpet? Would certainly help at least.

Are they letting you give feedback since you got it early? I hope they are and I hope they would take your suggestions seriously. I wonder if it's too late to start fixing the cleanerhead.

The fact that they're now including a Fluffyhead suggests to me there must be some sort of negative feedback they've received. I can't imagine they'd design the new cleanerhead the way it was, if they always intended to include the Fluffyhead anyway. Is the suction worse even on the non...

I haven't used it but have you checked the settings in the app?

I have to say personally speaking I've never had any issues emptying the v15. I just place it into the garbage a bit and push down. The only time I had a big dust cloud was when my garbage was too high, but that was my fault. Obviously it doesn't get all the microscopic dust and...

Based on reviews seems the problem with the new cleaner head isn't the empty line in the middle (you could just make multiple passes to alleviate that, which you should be doing anyway) but the new head doesn't suction well to carpets anymore so the deep cleaning performance is ruined. No...

I find it hard to believe it was the plan all along to include a Fluffyhead. There must be some terrible feedback internally on the new cleaner head if they're adding that back. If it was always planned then it's crazy they didn't just wait for everything to be ready together.

They're including a fluffyhead now with the V16 if you check the website. Insane backtrack considering the new head was advertised as doing both. Looks like the same v15/Gen5 one just with the new adapter end. So if you bought a v16 last week guess you have a worse product than if you bought...

Oh you have one already? Jeeze that's terrible data. This is really disappointing. Crazy to think that the PencilVac may end up being a better product than the v16, in that it does what it's advertised properly. (Cleaning hard floors) V16 head is supposed to do both carpet and hard...
