On paper, the V15 Konical is a genuinely more capable machine than the V15 line it replaces — a stronger motor, a self-clearing conical brush already proven on the shipping V10 Konical, and a built-in wet-cleaning head that saves buyers a separate Submarine purchase. It still trails the V16 Piston Animal's raw suction number and ships with a noticeably smaller bin, and Dyson hasn't confirmed a price or battery-runtime figure yet — Canadian pricing typically lands after the US number. Nothing here has been verified hands-on or through an actual Amazon.ca listing.
Pros
- 255 Air Watt Hyperdymium motor, Dyson's own figure for the V15 Konical
- Dual conical ‘Konical’ brush bar uses the same anti-tangle geometry already shipping on the V10 Konical
- Built-in 3-in-1 wet-cleaning head — no separate Submarine purchase needed
- Piezo sensor automatically adjusts suction to real-time dust levels
- 5-stage sealed HEPA filtration carried over from the rest of Dyson's cordless line
Cons
- No price or battery-runtime figure disclosed at the IFA unveiling
- 0.76L dust bin is notably smaller than the V16 Piston Animal's 2.5L bin
- Not expected until 2027, with no confirmed month yet
- Not yet listed on Dyson's own US, UK, Australian, or Canadian sites, let alone Amazon.ca
Overview
The Dyson V15 Konical isn’t sold anywhere yet — not on Amazon.ca, and not even on Dyson Canada’s own site. Dyson unveiled it at IFA Berlin in September 2026 as a more powerful successor to the V15 line, with a 2027 launch and no confirmed month, price, or battery-runtime figure attached yet. Here’s what’s confirmed from the unveiling and the early hands-on coverage out of Berlin, and what’s genuinely still unknown for Canadian shoppers.
The headline figure is suction: a Hyperdymium motor rated at 255 Air Watts. French tech outlet Lemon Hardware, reporting from the show floor, pegged that as roughly 6% stronger than the V15s Submarine, Dyson’s current wet/dry V15 variant. That’s still short of the 315 Air Watts in Dyson’s actual current flagship, the V16 Piston Animal — so the V15 Konical reads as a rebuilt, more capable descendant of the V15 line rather than a direct swap for the V16 on raw power alone.
Key Specifications
| Model | V15 Konical |
| Motor | Hyperdymium, up to 255 Air Watts |
| Brush head | Dual conical anti-tangle (“Konical”) brush bar |
| Dust sensor | Piezo sensor, automatic real-time suction adjustment |
| Illumination | Green laser-style dust reveal |
| Bin capacity | 0.76 L |
| Filtration | 5-stage sealed HEPA (shared spec across Dyson’s Konical line) |
| Cleaning modes | Vacuum + built-in wet-clean head (3-in-1) |
The Konical Brush and Piezo Dust Sensor
The “Konical” name comes from the brush, not a marketing flourish. Dyson already shipped the underlying technology on the V10 Konical, a mid-range cordless model the company launched in May 2026. According to Dyson’s own Australian newsroom announcement, that machine uses two rotating conical brush bars that spiral hair toward the ends and eject it into the bin instead of letting it wrap a straight roller, driven by a digitally controlled motor spinning at up to 110,000rpm and rated at 150 Air Watts. The V15 Konical scales that same brush geometry up to the flagship tier, paired with the much higher-output Hyperdymium motor.
Lemon Hardware’s coverage from the IFA show floor also describes a piezo sensor that adjusts suction automatically as it detects changing dust levels in real time, plus the same green laser-style light Dyson has used since the original V15 Detect to reveal fine dust invisible to the naked eye on hard floors. Titres Presse’s report from the same event corroborates the dual-cone brush and the 255 Air Watt figure, though neither outlet could get Dyson to confirm a runtime number on the record.
A Built-In 3-in-1 Wet-Cleaning Head
The other genuine change is a wet-cleaning head built into the machine itself. On Dyson’s current V16 line, washing hard floors means buying the separate Submarine variant as its own purchase; Lemon Hardware describes the V15 Konical folding vacuuming and wet floor cleaning into one 3-in-1 machine instead. Filtration carries over the 5-stage sealed HEPA system Dyson uses across its current cordless lineup — rated to capture 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns on the shipping V10 Konical, per Dyson’s own announcement. Dyson hasn’t published a separate filtration figure for the V15 Konical specifically, but there’s no indication the flagship model would ship with a lesser filter than the rest of the line.
What Dyson Hasn’t Said Yet
The dust bin holds 0.76 liters, according to Lemon Hardware — notably smaller than the 2.5-liter CleanCompactor bin on the V16 Piston Animal, and Dyson hasn’t explained the tradeoff or whether it’s tied to the wet-cleaning hardware taking up more internal space. There’s no battery-runtime figure, no price, and no confirmed launch month beyond “2027.” As of this writing, the V15 Konical doesn’t appear on Dyson’s retail sites in the US, UK, Australia, or Canada — only in show-floor and press coverage from the IFA unveiling — so even the shipping configuration could still change before it actually reaches Canadian shelves.
Dyson V15 Konical vs. Dyson V16 Piston Animal: How the Specs Compare
The V16 Piston Animal is Dyson’s actual current flagship and our top-rated cordless vacuum, not the V15 Konical’s direct predecessor — but it’s the closest comparison point available until Dyson publishes full V15 Konical specs.
| Feature | Dyson V15 Konical | Dyson V16 Piston Animal |
|---|---|---|
| Motor suction | 255 Air Watts | 315 Air Watts |
| Brush head | Dual conical anti-tangle (“Konical”) | Dual conical, self-clearing (All Floor Cones Sense) |
| Bin capacity | 0.76 L | 2.5 L (CleanCompactor) |
| Filtration | 5-stage sealed HEPA | 5-stage sealed HEPA, 99.99% at 0.1 microns |
| Wet-floor cleaning | Built in (3-in-1) | Separate Submarine variant required |
| Battery runtime | Not yet disclosed | Up to 70 minutes (eco mode) |

Is the Dyson V15 Konical Worth Waiting For?
The clearest case for waiting on the V15 Konical is anyone who currently runs a separate vacuum and a separate mop and would rather consolidate into one machine — the built-in 3-in-1 wet-cleaning head removes an entire second purchase, not just a spec bump the V16 Piston Animal already covers. It’s also worth watching if hair wrapping a straight roller has been a recurring frustration: the Konical brush geometry isn’t a first-generation gamble, since the same design already ships on the V10 Konical today — though as with most Dyson launches, expect Canadian pricing to land some weeks after the US figure once Dyson confirms one.
With a 2027 launch and nothing listed on Dyson Canada’s own site so far, this is one to watch rather than budget for right now. Anyone shopping for a cordless vacuum today is better served by our current top pick, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal, which is available now on Amazon.ca with a confirmed price and a tested runtime behind it.
