DC54 Animal Turbine - Features

54 of Dyson’s smallest and most efficient cyclones generate powerful centrifugal forces to separate more microscopic particles than any other cyclone. High-frequency oscillating tips vibrate to prevent the cyclone aperture clogging, so no filter maintenance is required.

Conventional cylinder vacuums with fixed wheels or castors can be awkward – heavy to pull, head the wrong way and collide with obstacles. With Ball™ technology, DC47 turns on the spot. It has a central steering mechanism for more accurate steering. The pivot point is located near the centre of the machine, enabling it to make tighter turning circles and more easily follow the user’s path.

The ball also houses many of the main vacuum components, including the motor, polycarbonate air ducts and a 5 metre cable. This lowers the centre of gravity, making the machine easy to control.

Because of the efficiency of Dyson Cinetic™ cyclone technology, no pre-motor filter is required and the post-motor filter requires no maintenance. So there’s nothing to wash or replace. And with no bag, there are no extra costs.

DC47 has a Dual channel floor tool for dirt pick-up across all floor types. Two separate airflow channels direct suction evenly. The two active edges of the channels open and flick the carpet pile twice in one pass, agitating and removing dirt from deep within the carpet. The tool’s low profile allows easy access under furniture.

The Tangle-free Turbine tool is the only turbine tool that doesn’t tangle. Counter-rotating heads with brushes remove hair from carpets and upholstery, and there’s no brush bar for hair to wrap around. More hair is released straight into the bin than with any other mini turbine tool. The flexible heads bend to maintain contact across uneven surfaces, and they’re positioned so that the brushes reach to the front and sides of the tool – drawing hair and dirt in from all directions.

With stiff bristles for dried-in and stubborn dirt, that is made of tough polyproylene.

The Articulating hard floor tool has soft nylon bristles that gently remove dust and dirt from wood and other delicate floors. It pivots 180° and has an ultra-slim profile to reach into the awkward gaps between cupboards and units more easily. There are two bristle curtains: the first removes large debris, while the second seals the tool to prevent suction leaking.

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).
