Dyson Ball DC24 Animal Upright Vacuum

I live in a basement studio with two dogs and a muddy yard, and this is the perfect vacuum cleaner for me. How many times has this story really needed a quick vacuuming, but I did not want to drag my giant machine and then manhandling it around the narrow room? Then spend half an hour wind it every time it picked up a stray cable yarn from the carpet? Now I find myself pulling Dyson just to get dust bunnies or mud cake from a corner!

It weighs about nine pounds, it fits in my cramped room without moving furniture, the ball turns on a dime and it can suck the rust from an abandoned Studebaker. The attachments click simple and secure. The reel has a sensor that prevents it from turning the moment it detects the slower because something is caught in the brush so it does not wind around fifty times. The bucket is easy to clean. It is also easy to transport up stairs and stair attachment is so compact that it does a good job.

Dyson's technology is not really the Dyson Sphere of sci-fi stories, an artificial sphere of millions of miles in diameter, is built around a sun to catch every kilowatt-hour of his energy to power an advanced civilization. It is named after James Dyson, the Briton who invented it. He went into a sawmill and discovered that the walls were covered with sawdust, because it had a huge fan assembly that created a cyclonic effect, spinning dust in a collector. He thought at once to build a cyclone vacuum cleaner with the same technology as the accumulation of dust on the pages of a brand new bag Vegetable saps half the power of a conventional vacuum cleaner in a few minutes after turning it on for the first time.

Potential drawbacks: It has no height adjustment, so it can not be the best for thick carpets. It has a small footprint so if you have a large area you may require more passes. The power cord is quite short, but then the electric wires are very heavy and it would only add weight. It has a bucket instead of a bag so you have to wash it out when you empty it. It does not happen often in my little room, but again, is the small bucket is not designed for a large house.

The larger version of this has all the features you want in a big house, but it weighs more and does not fit into tight spaces. And when I bought mine, was the biggest one is actually cheaper.

Other companies have ripped off the idea because it's almost too easy to patent effectively. I have no idea how their products compare. I love my Dyson because it's purple!
