Dyson DC39 Animal Full Size Dyson Ball Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

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. 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. 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 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. The problem here is that it’s a two-handed job. It gets a little cumbersome trying to get all the dust and dirt into the trash can. This is especially true when dumping over a smaller receptacle. It’s fairly common to miss some debris due to the container’s bulky shape.

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.The Animal fared much better with our furniture clearance test. With only four-inches of clearance, it was able to achieve its maximum reach. The low-profile brush head will allow you to easily clean under beds and couches. Sound So, what about finer debris? We ran the Dyson over sugar, coffee, and dried rice. After a couple of passes, our kitchen floor was spotless. Everyday dust and debris is handled like a pro, with no bogging down whatsoever. 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 price 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. Features of Dyson DC39 Animal 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

The Dyson DC39 Animal has a plethora of features that make your cleaning easier and more effective. Some features are non-negotiable when it comes to a competent vacuum cleaner. Others aren’t needed, but make your life so much easier.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.

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.

The Dyson DC39 sports the familiar Dyson styling comprising a clear, plastic dust container and a purple grooved chassis along with the telltale ball. Not only does the ball replace conventional wheels for smoother steering, it also houses much of the cleaner's technological innards. 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.

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. The process of emptying is fairly straightforward. Contents are released through a hatch at the bottom of the pull-out dust container. A simple latch opens it up, instantly dumping out whatever is inside. 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 Dyson DC39 is simply the best cylinder cleaner that we've seen so far. The smooth steering, easy emptying and trigger-based brush bar control make it child's play to use, while the cleaning power is also excellent. It's quite heavy, so it could be a bit of a struggle for cleaning the stairs, but that's really our only gripe. 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):

Pros

My 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. 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.
