Dyson DC34 Animal – features

Some conventional vacuum cleaners use a bag that can clog and cause suction to drop. Dyson vacuums use Radix Cyclone™ technology. Powerful centrifugal forces spin dust and dirt out of the air and into the bin, with no loss of suction.

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric motor, in 1831. Yet, despite being technologically advanced at the time, electric motors have changed very little since. Bulky, old-fashioned components and lots of moving parts prone to failure.

Dyson engineers spent a decade developing new types of highly efficient digital motors. The Dyson digital motor is smaller, lighter, cleaner and more power-efficient than conventional electric motors. Dyson digital motors use digital pulse technology, spinning at up to 104,000 times a minute (five times faster than a racing car engine).

Dual power mode gives you two power options. 15 minutes of high, constant suction for longer tasks (13 minutes with the motorised brush bar attached). Or 6 minutes on Boost mode for tougher cleans.

The motorised brush bar is housed in tough ABS polycarbonate. Its stiff nylon bristles spin up to 60 times per second for spot cleaning of dirt and pet hair from upholstery, stairs and the car.

Only 1.5kg with balanced weight distribution for easy handling.

Releases charge evenly with no drop off. Recharges in 3.5hrs, up to three times faster than others.

Just push the button to release the dirt. The bin on a Dyson handheld is clear, so you can see when it needs emptying and how much dust and dirt the machine has captured.
