Announced in September 2025. Its 2026 US availability does not make it a new 2026 model. Launch source
What to check before buying
Pet owners and households needing direct control on stairs, upholstery and mixed floors. Start with the job the machine must do in your own space, then compare the features that can change that outcome. A specification sheet is useful for narrowing a shortlist; it does not replace a demonstration of the difficult part of your cleaning routine.
Handle the machine before purchase: balance, trigger-free operation and tool changes matter more than peak power alone.
Versions and market differences
Dyson announced the platform on 4 September 2025 and described US availability beginning in 2026. The Submarine wet-and-dry version is a distinct package; do not assume a wet roller is included.
Maintenance and ownership
Check replacement battery, filter and cleaner-head availability for the exact model. Use the V16/SV53 support instructions, including drying requirements, before refitting a washed filter.
Ask the seller to identify the local warranty provider, exclusions, repair location and spare-parts lead time in writing. Warranty terms and bundled accessories belong to the specific market and seller; this profile does not promise universal coverage.
