Ball cylinders explained

Traditional cylinder cleaners are often awkward to steer and can topple. Some drift about on casters and others use wheels that over-steer. They lurch into furniture, veer off at tangents and more force is needed to keep them on track. Reliant on bags or filters -- they can lose performance too.

Sitting on a ball, the new Dyson DC39 Ball machines are manoeuvrable and have a low centre of gravity for negotiating tight turns and around furniture. And they are equipped with Dyson's Radial Root Cyclone™ technology, that captures more microscopic dust than any other cyclone.
