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.

Why tough?

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.
