Exaggerated initial mess levels indicate nothing about real-world performance. Such videos are 'entertainment' at best and not informative of any machine's capabilities, even though there's the appearance of loose correlation. It's unfortunate that despite everything out there to understand this, it's still underappreciated. Extreme initial mess concentrations need higher energies to remove quickly. We're moving to lower energies, meaning this kind of 'demonstration' will never yield good apparent results in the future. Real-world mess levels most respectable people would have in their homes can be exceptionally cleaned with very little energy. No one starts with a house full of stones and rocks, or tries to capture 30 days' worth of fine dust in 3 seconds that completely overwhelms separation systems. These videos simply represent someone 'playing in the dirt'.
The actual real-world failures of the V16 are not accurately captured from these videos. These videos are also contradictory: the first suggested good filtration, the second suggested bad (not that anyone noticed...). I'll show how the Gen5's performance can still be achieved with the V16 and, more importantly, why, for real-world mess levels. For the wrong reason, admittedly, it's nevertheless true Dyson shouldn't have released the V16 as they did. The problem seems to be suit-driven rather than the engineering.
