Roughly thirty years ago (in 1993) the first Dyson vacuum was released to the public, and the boring and mundane world of vacuums was never the same again!
James Dyson, a British inventor and entrepreneur was (according to his own account) frustrated with his bag vacuum which lost suction power as the bag progressive filled with dirt and debris. He wanted a vacuum that would maintain strong suction throughout the cleaning process.
5,127 prototypes later (in 1993, almost 3o years ago), he developed and introduced to the market the first Dyson dual cyclone vacuum.
Dysons are renowned for their constantly strong suction power and corresponding cleaning ability. This tied to their lightweight and easy to manoeuvre designs (thanks in part to the Dyson ball in many of their models which make them more agile than traditional fixed wheel vacuums), make Dysons extremely popular and quite frankly amazing machines.
As sort of alluded to already, most Dyson vacuums don’t use bags, just easily emptied canisters. These models use a cyclonic separation system to generate powerful suction and trap dirt and debris in a removable, transparent canister. When the canister is full, you can simply detach it from the vacuum, empty it, and replace it. Another blessing here is that no more having to buy replacement bags!
While some Dysons do use bags, they are designed to be more efficient than traditional bags, with a larger capacity and less loss of suction power as the bag fills up.
Another Dyson benefit is that they are built like tanks. Dyson puts their vacuums through five years of hard testing on different floor types and with dirt and debris of all kinds. Dyson also shifted the centre of gravity closer to the hand making using and handling them easier.
Their motor, the Dyson Hyperdymium spins on average 5 times faster than a jet engine which delivers incredible suction for extra deep cleaning.
Let's not forget the cyclone we mentioned. Dysons cyclonic technology helps remove dust and prevents it from clogging the filter so Dyson vacuums don't lose suction over time like other vacuums can.
Finally Dyson uses filters which capture 99.97% of microns. The fully sealed system also offers six layers of filtration to keep dust in the machine and expel cleaner air into your home.
