Dyson DC39 Animal Full Size Dyson Ball Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

A couple of stand-out features that make the vacuum look the way it does are the “Radial Root Cyclone Technology” and the “Ball Technology”. Thankfully, the bottom-mounted hatch works to reduce this as much as possible. The filter is also located in the dust container, making it easy to get to when you need to clean it.

So, what did we do to test the DC39’s limits? As with all vacuum tests, we began in the kitchen and worked our way through the house. Floor types differ with nearly each room, giving us a better understanding of how well any given vacuum performs. The fact that the Dyson DC39 Animal is so easy to use might encourage you take it out of your closet more often. And that's half the battle, isn't it? Cleaning Performance Does not perform up to its priceAdditional vacuum features include a suction release valve in the handle which allows you to manually reduce suction (useful for vacuuming delicate items like curtains, lamp shades, etc.), a cleaning path width of 10.5 inches, and a 5-year part and labor warranty. The DC39 Animal is also UL, ETL and CSA listed. It also works well on stairs and car upholstery. Additional accessories include a stair tool and a combination tool, which converts to a brush tool ideal for dusting. Triggerhead Tool Built for powerful dirt and pet hair removal, it has Radial Root Cyclone™ technology with remodelled airways to maximise suction power. Its Triggerhead tool is the only turbine head controlled at the handle – so no bending down is required. It also has a mini turbine headfor cleaning pet hair and dirt from those confined spaces.

The cyclones make up the innovative looking purple assembly atop the dust canister. There is a lot of marketing talk about the DC65 having “Radial” root cyclone technology as opposed to just root cyclone technology. As far as we can figure ‘Radial” simply means that airways have been remodelled to help improve flow efficiency and reduce turbulence. In theory this should provide better suction power and dust removal. The vacuum does generate a very healthy 275 air watts of suction. For comparison purposes consider the following (in air watts): The wind-up power cable can be retracted at the touch of a button, while the dust container can be removed just as easily by pressing the release button. Another tap of the button opens up the bottom of the container to release the grime directly into the bin, so there's no need to mess about with changing cleaner bags. A canister vacuum cleaner wouldn’t be my first choice as it is often heavy, bulky, and hard to store, especially in a smaller apartment. However, the Dyson DC39 Animal looks sleek and modern, and once the hose is detached, it morphs into a smaller, more storable apparatus. The Dyson DC39 Animal uses cyclone technology, so the air spins at incredibly high speeds, which reduces the likelihood of clogging. Everything the vacuum cleaner suctions up goes straight into the bin.This is what makes the DC39 so powerful. The Radial Root Cyclone technology works to increase suction while limiting particles in its airflow. The end result is a vacuum with truly incredible suction power. Up next, living room. This where we see how every vacuum does over low carpeting. And let us tell you, the Dyson DC39 shined. We dumped the same food items all over the carpet and put the vacuum to work. Hardwood floors are challenging to clean in a different way to carpets. It’s slightly slippery, so sometimes the brush doesn’t grip well enough to get all the fine dust and pet hair. The Dyson DC39 excels in this regard. The adaptable brush accessory is made for hardwood floors, and one smooth motion is enough to get all the dirt on the floor. Pros You can gather the amount of engineering that went into the DC39's accessories just by looking at them. The main cleaning tool is called the Triggerhead. It's an turbine-powered brush head that can be controlled from the handle. That means you can switch from carpet to bare floors without tapping any pedals or bending over. I put together this Dyson DC39 Animal review to give you some information about the features, benefits, and pros and cons, and my overall verdict on it.
