Dyson DC39 Animal - features

Conventional vacuum cleaners rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. But when you start to use some bagged machines, dust can clog the tiny holes in the bag. Some ordinary bagless vacuum cleaners work in a similar way. They use a central filter to trap fine dust, which can clog too. Suction drops, leaving dust and dirt behind in your home.

Dyson's patented cyclone technology captures more dirt than any other cyclone. In Radial Cyclone™ technology remodelled airflows maximise suction power. Improved flow efficiency reduces turbulence and preserves air pressure, so more microscopic particles are extracted by the inner cyclones. These refinements help remove more dust, allergens and pet hair from the home.

Dyson cyclones are able to extract particles as small as 0.5 microns - including common household allergens such as pollen and mould. But there’s also a HEPA filter as an extra precaution for people with asthma and allergies. It won't need replacing - just give it a wash according to the instructions that come with the machine.

Emptying the bin on a Dyson vacuum is quick and hygienic. Just press the button to release the dirt. The bin is clear, so you can see when it needs emptying – and how much dust, dirt and pet hair the machine has captured. Dyson vacuums were the first to have clear bins – despite market researchers insisting it was a bad idea. Now clear bins are everywhere (though not all are made from the same ABS polycarbonate as riot shields, like Dyson bins).

Dyson Ball™ cylinder vacuums turn on the spot. DC39 cylinder vacuum cleaners have an articulated central steering mechanism. The ball holds the heaviest component - the motor - positioned towards the base for a low centre of gravity and greater stability. Dyson Ball™ cylinders follow with greater control and without the awkward moves.

Essential components are located inside the acoustically treated ball. The motor is attached to the housing with sound-dampening mounts. Less noise escapes from the airways, and polyurethane sound-insulating materials absorb sound energy.

Lightweight extension tube adjusts to the length you want to clean stairs and hard-to-reach places.

Improved pick-up on hard floors. Long bristles to prevent scratching or marking on wood or delicate floors.

The Dyson Mini turbine head has an air-driven brush bar that removes pet hair and dirt from tight spaces like upholstery, stairs and inside the car. Tiny bristles catch fine hair and fibers. A clean air turbine reduces bulk and weight and prevents obstructions. The cover is made from tough polycarbonate.

The only turbine head controlled at the handle. A rotating brush bar cleans dirt from within carpets - push the trigger and it switches off to protect hard floors and delicate rugs.
