The year 1978. The discovery of James Dyson, who invented cyclonic technology, stands out even at that time: today, it is the basis of his avant-garde vacuum cleaner company’s patents. This technology, which characterizes all Dyson brand products, enables the elimination of bags and enhances the efficiency of aspirating smaller particles.
The cyclones (cylinders working next to each other) increase the speed and the vorticity of the airflow, to suck even the finest dust. For this reason, vacuum cleaners with cyclones are considered by experts to be a step forward for those suffering from allergies, for those with animals at home, and for those with special surfaces to clean, such as parquet.
To date, Dyson technology is also used in other brands of vacuum cleaners, but it is challenging to find one that can keep up with the continuous changes and evolution of Dyson products, which are not only valid as materials but also attractive in terms of aesthetics. And not only for the classic vacuum cleaners, that is to say, the bin ones, but also for those without wires, as well as the very practical brooms and the versatile portable vacuum cleaners.
Of course, this innovation works, but there is a price to pay: Dyson vacuum cleaners are indeed among the most expensive on the market. Is it worth buying them? Surely yes, but the choice of models is so vast and the price differences between one and the other so marked, that to make a good purchase, it is necessary to have a clear idea of which model to choose. Below, we will provide you with the right advice in this regard.
Dyson Vacuum Cleaner: what you need to know
Dyson distinguishes five categories of vacuum cleaners:
- A tow (” bins with wire): for deep cleaning on all surfaces, they are ideal for those looking for maximum power.
- Vertical (brooms with wire): ideal for small to medium-sized homes, particularly those with stairs, and for those seeking an efficient, manageable, and clean vacuum cleaner. Perfect on hard floors and carpets.
- Cordless: the latest Dyson innovation to be on the market. Ideal for daily cleaning, this allows you to clean up to the ceiling without the hassles of a wire. Once stored, it is recharged to ensure it is always ready for use.
- Portable: designed to be used on small and precise surfaces such as cars, armchairs, mattresses, and the most difficult corners of the home.
- Robot: for daily cleaning, without the effort of cleaning up.
Recommended models of Dyson vacuum cleaners
Among all the Dyson models on the market, let’s take a look at our favorites, those that we recommend for cleaning your home according to your specific needs.
A Towing
The towing models are divided into two broad categories: those with and without Cinetic technology. We prefer the first ones. As it has happened in the past, when the filter is dirty or the bag is full and needs to be changed, the vacuum cleaner loses power and decreases its effectiveness.
Dyson has overcome all these problems by proposing a product with Cinetic technology, which eliminates the need for maintenance. You don’t have to clean the filters, there are no bags to change, and most importantly, the vacuum cleaner maintains its efficiency and power.
How is this possible? Thanks to the oscillation of the 36 cyclones inside the vacuum cleaner, even the finest dust does not accumulate and does not block the airflow. It is perfect for those who have little time to devote to maintaining these products, while also seeking constant effectiveness and thorough cleaning.
In addition, all Cinetic models are also equipped with Big Ball technology. Inside the product, a ball is located that allows the vacuum cleaner to maintain its ideal position, preventing it from tipping over or reclining on its side. It also adapts to all the required movements, changing direction without difficulty, even in the tightest spaces. Once the dust collection tank is complete, open it directly into the trash, without any unpleasant dirt leaks.
Like most Dyson models, the Dyson V10 is also equipped with carbon-fiber brushes to collect more dust, including smaller particles. Among all the models with Cinetic technology, we prefer the Musclehead model, which features a brush that automatically adapts to all surfaces, including the most challenging ones like parquet and carpet, and a joint brush that can be extended up to 1.25 m.
Dyson Vertical
These are the classic electric brooms with wire, but with the addition of the Dyson innovation. First of all, they are all equipped with cyclones, which also allow deep cleaning of the surfaces, capturing even the finest dust and avoiding its leakage.
There are three models of vertical brooms: Allergy, ideal for those seeking maximum efficiency against allergens; Multifloor, for those who want a lightweight, efficient, and compact vacuum cleaner; and Small Ball, which represents the middle ground.
We like the Small Ball model: inside the product, there are 19 cyclones, and like the towed model, Ball technology is used, which gives more stability to the product. You can use it even in the most difficult-to-reach corners where more flexibility is required: the Small Ball model will adapt without problems.
Among the vertical models, this is the one that occupies the least space, as the handle can be raised and lowered to store it easily. It weighs only 5.5 kg and is recommended for use when cleaning stairs at home. Additionally, the instantaneous release rod enables you to clean high surfaces without needing to lift it.
Cordless
The ultimate in Dyson innovation. These vacuum cleaners are those where there is nothing: there is no filter to clean, no bag to change, but above all, there is no thread. You may wonder if the fact that they are battery-powered affects their power. Do not expect the effectiveness of the towed vacuum cleaners (the classic bins), designed for spring cleaning. The wireless models are perfect for daily house cleaning, such as the classic pass, and so on.
For maximum efficiency and power, we have chosen the top model in the Dyson range, which has a 40-minute autonomy. Once the battery is exhausted, place it on the recharging dock to be fully charged and ready for use again.
We are talking about the model V8 Absolute, powered by a lithium battery, equipped with 15 cyclones, two types of interchangeable brushes depending on the surface, and featuring a max button that increases suction power for up to 7 minutes to eliminate even the hardest dirt. It is lightweight and handy, ideal for cleaning dust from the ceiling or high shelves. It can be transformed into a turbo-brush to clean surfaces where greater precision is required.
Portable
Perfect for those seeking precision cleaning on confined surfaces, such as sofas, mattresses, armchairs, and car seats. We also recommend them for pets, as they remove hair perfectly. Inside, they are equipped with cyclonic technology and operate on battery. The model we have chosen is the V6 Trigger, which is very light and manageable (weighing only 3.4 pounds). Once stored in its accommodation, it automatically recharges. It has a range of about 20 minutes.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
The price of the Robot 360 Eye can be a deterrent for many, as it comes in at almost $1,000. There are no other Dyson models, but only the one that represents all the efficiency and effectiveness of the brand. The technology is based on a cyclonic system, but this is not the only feature we like about this product. It simplifies the lives of those who have little time to clean the house’s surfaces.
Thanks to its wheels and tracks, it adapts perfectly to all types of surfaces, capturing even the most stubborn dirt on carpets. It is perfect for allergy sufferers: thanks to cyclones, air and small particles are captured, while clean air is released at the same time.
Its sensors can determine its location and where it has already cleaned. Additionally, when the battery is depleted, it returns to the charging dock, which recognizes it as both a starting point and an arrival point. You can also operate it remotely, thanks to the dedicated app, choosing between a simple cleaning that guarantees up to 75 minutes of battery life or a more powerful cleaning with less autonomy, up to 40 minutes.
Dyson Vacuum Cleaner: Final Judgment
Dyson vacuum cleaners exemplify the excellence of this product type. Regardless of the price, purchasing a Dyson means investing in an excellent and high-quality product. Additionally, a touch of design never hurts in a clean and tidy house.
