DYSON DC39 ANIMAL PLUS VACUUM CLEANER

Product Information

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. While everything sounds good on paper, we had to try it out to know for sure. In the following sections, we show you just how well the DC39 performed. In the end, we were blown away by how incredibly well Dyson’s ball vacuum did in our testing. Data plays the most important role in our reviewing. Hard numbers justify our opinions about any vacuum. For a vacuum like the Dyson DC39 Animal, cleaning and noise levels concern us. Edge Cleaning & Furniture Clearance Additional 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. 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. ProsMy living room is a little crowded – I like a homier, more comfortable look and feel, so the popular minimalist décor trend has flown right past me. The downside to this is having to move sofas, chairs, tables, and comfort cushions around when cleaning. We can recommend the Dyson DC39 wholeheartedly. But let’s give you greater details as to why. We’ll cover each feature individually so you get a clear picture of what this Dyson is capable of. Cyclone Suction Power

For tight corners, we whipped out the attachments. This lets you get those pesky dust particles that build up over time. You’re still getting the same high level of suction, regardless of which attachment tool you’re using. Thanks to the iconic ball, the DC39 does roll around with ease. Even though the canister weighs over 16 pounds, it follows you with just a little tug. The ball also lets you glide over normal and bare floors easily, but this low-profile design makes it difficult for the canister to traverse high-pile carpet. 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. 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”. 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.It’s a bit on the bulky side, but it maneuvers like a champ. Its unique design lends to its ability to get to hard-to-reach areas in the home. At 16 pounds, it’s one of the lighter vacuums on the market. Combined with its strong suction and ball technology, the DC39 is easily managed.

For the technical people out there – the Dyson vacuum cleaner can generate a force thousands of times the force of gravity, so that dirt is well and truly suctioned and trapped. Suctioning on Carpets This Dyson had trouble dealing with edges. We found that the Triggerhead brush didn't have suction from the side or the front until .5 inches in. That means when you're vacuuming along a wall, no matter what, you'll have a strip of uncleaned carpet. It's always a pain to bust out the crevice tool for an entire room. It performed adequately well, but we’ve seen other vacuums do a bit better job on upholstery. If there was a really good pet hair tool, it likely would have fared better. On the floor, however, it’s a completely different story. I like the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister, and it’s definitely my favorite canister vacuum cleaner. It’s efficient at cleaning pet hair and at moving around obstacles. However, there are still better products on the market – although you’ll have to deal with a heftier price tag for those. For this price range, the Dyson is more than worth it.The Dyson DC39 is the first of the maker's cylinder Dyson vacuum cleaners to sport its distinctive Ball technology, designed for easy manoeuvring around tight corners and we were one of the first to get our hands on this new piece of household gadgetry. 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): With a bulky vacuum cleaner, this is a chore on its own. With the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister Vacuum central steering feature, I can clean the living room without having to do a complete remove because it moves around obstacles like a breeze. 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. Where other vacuum cleaners use bags to trap dust and dirt, the Dyson DC39 Animal Vacuum uses a canister. Dust bags are privy to tiny holes that clog up with dust particles. As you use the vacuum cleaner, the airflow gets restricted by this clog, and the cleaner loses suction.
