The Dyson DC28 Animal

I believe the Pursuit of Perfection is Lexus’ slogan, but with Dyson’s newest vacuum it seems like they are truly the company that is always looking for a way to perfect their products. Year after year Dyson has continually built new vacuum cleaners each with their own new improvements and developments; developments that have revolutionized the vacuum industry.EG The Dyson Cyclone and the The Dyson Ball. As the Dyson DC28 is premiered to the world we are also introduced to another new technology by the Dyson company; the Dyson Airmuscle technology. Although today’s article is to focus on the DC28 I would like to briefly explain what the Dyson airmuscle is too before I highlight it in it’s own article.

Dyson DC28 Animal Features:

The Dyson Airmuscle Technology is The Dyson DC28′s most prominent feature on the list. A technology that affects suction and seal for vacuuming on multiple surface types, the Airmuscle combines 3 components to make appropriate adjustments for floor height and surface area.

Then we get into the equipment that has been standard on Dyson vacuums for quite some time now. Now don’t get downtrodden when I say standard, although it may be standard on Dysons it is still exceptional technology. First we have the Dyson Cyclone which guarantees you will never lose suction, then we have our finger tip controls that will allow you to toggle your brush bar on and off. The vacuum is an Animal model which is equipped with the mini turbine head for removing pet hair from tough carpets and upholstery.

The Dyson DC28 Animal is also equipped with an attachment called the Flat Out head which is used to perform the task of getting under low couches and tables. This is something I am going to have to look more into because I don’t know about this attachment. I know Dyson use to have a tool very similar to this called the low reach floor tool, but I am not certain if they have just changed the name or invented something new. I will get on the job of finding out though.

Dyson DC28 On Sale

[ReviewAZON asin="B00208JVEG" display="inlinepost"] The DC28 is already available for sale online directly through Dyson’s website and through amazon.com. At the time of writing this article I have yet to see any available in retail stores in my area, but I haven’t been specifically looking as I am very happy with my current vacuum cleaner the Dyson DC24. But if they aren’t there yet I am sure they will be soon as this vacuum looks to be another top seller in the Dyson upright vacuum range.

Dyson DC28 Animal Specifications

Dimensions: 42.1 in. x 13.5 in. x 14.3 in. (H x W x D)
Weight: 20.61 lbs.
Suction power: 245 AW
Bin capacity: 0.61 gal

In my opinion it seems like the new DC28 is a bit on the heavy side weighing in at 20lbs. This could be quite the disadvantage as it makes vacuuming difficult and can really limit their potential demographic to men who are not elderly. A 20lb vacuum isn’t easy to use on stairs, or even to lug around for a long period of time.

Dyson DC28 Animal Cost

The price tag on the Dyson DC28 Animal is a little higher than many of you may feel comfortable with, but Dyson explains that with their vacuums you get a 5 year warranty that covers all parts. Including filters and belts which will generally give you a saving of almost 250.00 over a 5 year time span. Something that you should definitely consider. Vacuums aren’t cheap and you do get what you pay for. I think it is worth the extra cost up front to get a product that you know is going to work and that you know will not end up costing you more in the long run.

Dyson The Ball

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Dyson The Ball

As a leader in the vacuum cleaner industry Dyson has set out to make vacuum cleaners as revolutionary as they can by providing their cleaners with the newest and most innovative technology. The company is known for constantly developing new ideas, applying for new patents, and being a leader in research and development. So it is no surprise to me that the company has completely turned the idea of how a vacuum cleaner moves upside down by designing the http://www.dysoninfo.com/dyson-ball-technology/.

The Dyson DC24 and Dyson DC25 as we have aptly name “Dyson The Ball” are currently the two upright vacuum cleaners in the company’s array of cleaners that are equipped with they new ball technology. I am the proud owner of the DC24 which is the smaller more compact version of the DC25 and is perfect for my little home.

When it comes to vacuuming we know not to expect fun; it is a chore and like all chores it is boring and not a pleasure to do but with a Dyson, the ball, vacuuming will still be boring and a chore. I don’t expect you to believe that all will be fun in the world of vacuuming just because you get a fun new toy added to you vacuum cleaner. But I do believe that it will make the job easier, faster, and more convenient overall.

Why? Because with a Dyson the ball allows you to move in a way that is simply more natural. You will be able to take your vacuum cleaner around corners and obstacles without having to do pivotal movements. In the commercials you see the concept displayed perfectly, normal vacuums have wheels that don’t turn so you are confined to movement that are in a straight line and any turns require leverage from your wrist and your forearm. With a ball as the wheel you can turn in any direction with very little effort meaning you don’t have to rely on anything but your momentum to move and turn the vacuum creating less resistance and easier vacuuming.

Now the only complaint that I have heard about Dyson vacuums that have the ball technology attached to them is that after extended use people have said that their wrists hurt a little more than normal. Although please take this with a grain of salt as one of them was my aunt who is in her early 60′s and well not in great shape. But i can understand the complaint as the vacuum isn’t as rigid and it’s fluid motion may take a while to get used to.

With all that said I would definitely recommend looking more into a Dyson the ball really is an amazing!

Dyson Vacuum Review

Friday, June 5th, 2009

My Dyson Vacuum Review

I bought a Dyson vacuum about 7 months ago after my Bissell’s life came to an unexpected end. I purchased a Dyson because I was tired of constantly purchasing $100.00 vacuum cleaners that kept under performing and breaking before they should have. I guess I should have realized earlier on that you do in fact get what you pay for. Anyway I decided that it was time to spend the money and get a “good” vacuum cleaner like a Dyson or a Meile. After a few weeks of shopping around I finally made my choice and purchased a Dyson DC24 which is a smaller version of the full Dyson Ball vacuum.

So after having over half a years use it is time to give you guys a full dyson vacuum review of my DC24 Ball. So let’s begin with the vacuum’s performance. The DC24 is a small vacuum and this unfortunately means that it has a small canister, and therefore leads to longer vacuuming times. Why? Well because it forces me too clean the canister out more times during cleaning that I would normally have to with a full size vac, but that was a choice that I made and I am sure that on the full size vacuums you will find that caninster size is not a problem. Although the canister on the 24 is small it is extremely convenient to empty. I just push the button to eject it from the vacuum and press it again to spill the junk into the garbage can. I absolutely love it because I don’t have the mess of a bag and don’t have to grab all of the dirt and hair out with my hand it nicely falls out of the bottom with a few taps on the side of the trash can.

The Dyson Cyclone is great, it is advertised as to never lose suction. That may not be completely true but in my 7 months of use I have had very little problems with clogging, or loss of air flow, or anything. The DC24 has again and again picked up everything that I have asked it to without any trouble.

The Dyson Ball really is the greatest invention to hit the vacuum cleaner market since it’s inceptions. I love the ability to turn on a dime and to just be out of the mundane routine that vacuuming has been for so long. The ball isn’t a deal breaker though. I would say that if your budget is limited to a certain amount don’t go break it for this functionality, but if you have that flexibility definitely check it out because I really do love it.

I don’t think my dyson vacuum review would be complete without talking about cost. I am sure you have noticed that the DC24 and all Dyson vacuums are expensive $400.00 and up in most cases. But if you really look around you can find some great deals and you can even find some great Dyson vacuum sales in your area. I got a great deal on my DC24 because I know somebody that works at the corporate office in Chicago and they were able to use their friends and family discount to purchase the vacuum for me.

My overall feeling is that A Dyson Vacuum is a solid purchase and that if you spend the money to buy a good vacuum you will get the results that you should. Yes I have had a few issues with clogs here and there and the brush bar will get stuck once in a while, but overall the vacuum has performed like I would expect it too. With that said stay posted and maybe I will do another dyson vacuum review in the future to see if the DC24 is still performing to it fullest after a year. After all for the money I spent I expect to have this vacuum for years to come.

If you would like to post a Dyson vacuum review please feel free to contact me via email with the subject Dyson Vacuum Review at ajm [at] dysoninfo [dot] com. I would love to hear your story and post it for others to read too.

Which Dyson Vacuum Is The Best?

Monday, June 1st, 2009

When looking for a vacuum cleaner, it doesn’t take long before you come across the Dyson line and recognize various aspects of their products that jump out at you. As one of the most unique, high quality, and most reliable vacuums on the market, Dyson has been leading the way in technological advancements in the vacuum industry for well over a year now, and they aren’t slowing down. The only problem when it comes to making a choice for which to purchase yourself is understanding which Dyson vacuum is the best.

This is by far no easy question to answer as all of their models offer incredible features and accessories. Not to mention their ability to perform and clean better than 99% of all other models on the market. Answering which Dyson vacuum is the best really comes down to your overall needs and preferences.

To start, you need to consider your space requirements. The DC24 is an upright cleaner that offers an adjustable handle for height making it more compact than other upright vacuum cleaners even within the Dyson line up. This makes it more compact and easily stored. However, if you really want the best possible options for storage and space saving ability, the canister models offered by Dyson are by far the best options. The canister vacuum models are easily stored almost anywhere without taking up very much space at all which makes them great options for those people who have very limited closest and storage space in their homes.
Other questions you need to ask and aspects to look at in order to discover which Dyson vacuum is the best include allergies and asthma. Some models come included with certified asthma and allergy friendly. All models are designed using a lifetime HEPA filter and are at the front of the line when it comes to their ability to help fight and prevent allergies and asthma producing particles in your home. However, some models take it a step further and are specifically designed to be certified as asthma and allergy friendly making them even more effective in helping to keep your home free of allergy producing agents.
Another aspect to look at is overall ease of use. Some of the upright models come included with ball technology while others don’t. This technology significantly improves overall mobility and ease of turning and rotating much, much better. The ball technology is a huge step in the overall ability to maneuver the vacuum cleaner.

You will also want to look at the suction and vacuum performance and technology as well when trying to decide which Dyson vacuum is the best. Each has it’s own type of Cyclone technology and has different levels and abilities to perform. Some vacuum cleaners come with the Root Cyclone technology while others come with the level 3 Root Cyclone technology. Each performs differently and is able to produce different results, and it’s important to evaluate both technologies in order to make the best and most well informed decision.

Overall, any choice you make will be one that makes you happy. The entire line of Dyson vacuum cleaners is extremely well made, very high quality, includes powerful cleaning performance, and all models offer amazing ease of use as well as great accessories and features. Choosing which Dyson vacuum is the best isn’t an easy task, but in the end, it all depends on your specific needs and requirements for your vacuum cleaner.

What is The Dyson Ball Asthma & Allergy?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

I have recently seen a lot of people searching for the term Dyson Ball Asthma so I wrote this article to clear up a little confusion some may be having about the Dyson Ball vacuums. The Dyson Ball technology is currently available on two of the Dyson upright vacuums; the Dyson DC24 and the Dyson DC25. These two vacuums are almost identical in looks and functionality, except the DC25 is much larger than the DC24 and it comes in two different model types as opposed to just the All Floors model that the DC24 comes in.

Unfortunately neither of these vacuums is actually built as an Asthma & Allergy model, meaning that in reality there is technically no Dyson Ball Asthma that many of you have been searching for. But don’t be discouraged.

If the primary focus of your vacuum cleaner is to reduce allergen and asthma irritants, you might want to continue your search for a Dyson Asthma & Allergy model, but you don’t actually have to.

Every Dyson upright vacuum cleaner is actually certified asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. This means that no matter which Dyson model you choose you will get the benefits of a vacuum that reduces asthma and allergy irritants.

So if you have your heart set on getting a Dyson Ball model feel reassured that even though the Dyson DC24 and DC25 don’t come specifically in a Dyson Ball Asthma & Allergy model type you will still be getting and seeing the results of an asthma and allergy friendly vacuum cleaner.

The Asthma & Allergy Model is currently available on the Dyson DC17.

Dyson DC18 vs. DC24

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

The Dyson DC18 and DC24 didn’t originally come across in my mind as two vacuums that should rightfully be compared because of how truly different they are in their nature. The DC18 is a full sized upright vacuum while the DC24 is not so I thought that they might not make good competition for one another. But today I consider myself mistaken because although the two vacuums are very different in size the both share one huge selling point; they are both extremely light weight.

Before I get into any more comparisons of the two though I think we should take a short look at what each individual vacuum has to offer. So let’s begin.

The Dyson DC18:

The DC18 is known as the slim vacuum because it is a full upright vacuum cleaner that weighs in less than 16lbs which is very light for a full sized up upright. This vacuum comes with all of Dyson’s standard amenities including the lifetime HEPA filter, the expanding wand, the Dyson Cyclone Technology, push button brush control, and a 5 year warranty that covers parts and service.

The Dyson DC24:

The DC24 is known as the ball vacuum, or at least one of the ball vacuums, because it is one of a few models that is equipped with the new Dyson Ball Technology. However unlike the other models that carry the ball name the DC24 is about half their size and weighs in at a measly 11.65lbs. And as usual the DC24 is equipped with an extending wand, a Dyson Cyclone, a HEPA filter, brush control, and a 5 years warranty.

The Dyson DC18 vs. DC24

Comparing a full sized upright to one that isn’t didn’t make much sense to me before I started to look at the details. The DC24 is not a full size vacuum so I thought that the comparison would be like the much fabled apples and oranges comparison that I have heard so much about. However it holds one very similar feature to the DC18; it is extremely light weight. So that is where the focus of this comparison is going to lie. If you want a better comparison for the DC18 please check out my article Dyson DC18 Slim vs. DC25.

As I stated before with the DC18 being a larger vacuum the normal comparisons quickly become unfair, but when it comes to size and portability the DC24 Ball actually blows the DC18 away. The Dyson DC18 slim weighs what will seem like a heavy 16lbs compared to the Dyson DC24’s 12lbs. The adjustable height on the DC24 makes storage and carrying much simpler, and the Ball technology that is attached to the DC24 makes maneuvering while vacuuming a breeze compared to the DC18 as well.

So if you want to compare suction, canister size, ability to pick up different types of messes I would suggest looking at 2 full size vacuums, but if you are looking for the best vacuum for it’s size and weight I would suggest the DC24.

Dyson DC24 vs. DC25

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Comparing Dyson models is often one of the most frequently addressed problems consumers find themselves having because of how well Dyson’s compare to other vacuum cleaners. The question isn’t what brand of vacuum the should look at, but what model Dyson will suit their needs the most.

The Dyson DC24 vs. DC25 is quite the popular search meaning that people really want to know more about these Dyson Ball vacuums. Well the good news is I am here to give you the scoop, but the bad news is these to vacuums are very very similar so the comparison is going to be quite short.

The Dyson DC24 vs. The Dyson DC25:

I guess this comparison really comes back to the age old question; does size really matter? For some it does for others it doesn’t but that is really the only question you can ask when comparing these two vacuum cleaners.

The Dyson DC24 and Dyson DC25 upright vacuum cleaners are sisters maybe even twins because when it comes to everything accept size they are exactly the same.

Both vacuum cleaners are equipped with Dyson’s Cyclone technology, both are upright vacuum cleaners with lifetime hepa filters, both are equipped with the Dyson ball technology, both have a 5 year warranty, both are all floor vacuum cleaners with push button brush control, and both have a extending wand for reaching the high areas and tight corners.

So what makes them different? Size.

I own the DC24 and it is perfect for my 850 square foot house, my dad on the other hand has a lot more space that I do and he is using the DC25 in his monster of a home.

The DC24 is perfect for people that need a vacuum that is more easily stored, a vacuum that can get the job done quickly without having to lug around a full size vacuum, and for those that have small houses.

The DC25 on the other hand stands a little bit taller and has a larger canister which is great for full size or larger houses. If you have a large room with a lot of carpet you will probably find yourself needing to empty the canister on the DC24 more than once while with the 25 you would be set to do the whole room.

Did This Help?

If you are looking to compare Dyson vacuum cleaners I would actually suggest reading our other Dyson Comparisons as they will be much more helpful that this comparison.

I would recommend not looking at two models that are so similiar in their features and styling.

Consider the following articles instead.

Dyson DC17 vs. DC25

Dyson DC17 vs. Dyson DC 25

Before I dive into my assessment on which of the Dyson DC models is the better of the two I highly recommend you take some time to read the more detailed explanations of the individual vacuums that I have written about each model as they might be a better indicator of which vacuum is right for you.

More information on the Dyson DC17 and the Dyson DC25.

About the Dyson DC17 & DC25:

The Dyson DC17 & DC25 are both upright models in Dyson’s range of vacuum cleaners. Each vacuum is offered in both the Dyson Animal and the Dyson Asthma and Allergy styles. They are both also equipped with a life-time HEPA filter, finger tip brush control, extending wand, hygienic canister, 5 year warranty of parts and service, and an ergonomic handle for carrying.

What makes the two vacuum cleaners different is the new techonology that has been added the the DC25. The DC25 is equipped with the Dyson Ball technology that make a vacuum easy to move in it’s nature. Most vacuums are on a rigid frame that only allows for forward and backward movements, and the DC25 isn’t. The Dyson Ball lets you move in any direction by simply turning your wrist the direction that you want to go.

Dyson DC17 vs. Dyson DC25 Results:

The Dyson DC25 Ball vacuum cleaner is the cleaner that I would prefer to own because I love the Dyson Ball technology. Both vacuum cleaners come in Dyson Animal and Dyson Asthma and Allergy Models, Both are equipped with the Dyson Cyclone technology, and both have the hygienically easy to empty canister, meaning that the vacuums actually have very few differences in the way the operate and pick up dirt and dust.

The decision to go with the DC25 is then completely based on my personal enjoyment of the ball technology that makes maneuverability easy. I currently am using the Dyson DC24 in my home which is the DC25′s little brother. The DC24 is an exact replica of the DC25 but it is smaller in stature. With my experience using the ball I have found that is does everything that they say it does and anybody that has a tight space or a lot of furniture could really benefit from using it.

However choosing the right Dyson for you can be a difficult tasks as each model has great benefits and could possess the trait that you need, so I suggest you keep looking and maybe even check out our comparison of the DC18 Slim vs the DC25.

Dyson DC24 All Floors – Have A Ball

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

There are some upright vacuums that are good for picking up, some that are light weight, some that are easy to move around, but then their is the Dyson DC24 upright vacuum cleaner. The DC24 is hands down the best vacuum cleaner I have ever used, and it is currently the upright that is living in my closet at home and will probably outlast the closet which it is in.

The Dyson DC24 is another one of Dyson’s all floors vacuums in their upright range and as usual it is simply outstanding. What makes this vacuum special compared to the rest is how convenient everything about it is.

It all starts with the Dyson Cyclone technology that runs the core of the vacuum. The cyclone is used to create a higher more efficient method of suction that is guaranteed to keep from losing any of it’s suction power. The Cyclone is wrapped up by one of Dyson’s hygienic asthma and allergy friendly canisters that can hold quite a load even for this vacuums small stature. The canister is simple to empty as are all of the Dyson upright vacuums. Press the canister release button to remove it from the vacuum and the carry it to the nearest garbage can and press it again and the bottom of the canister gently pops open emptying the dirt and continents below.

The major technology breakthrough in the The Dyson DC24 Ball Vacuum is the “Ball” itself. This new breakthrough has changed the way the upright vacuums maneuver. The ball is your wheel and so instead of being able to move back and forward your vacuum can now move in any direction with a simple twitch of the wrist. I love this vacuum for this feature. I have a small home with a lot of furniture. The DC24 makes moving around it simple without having to stick to the old forward, back, turn, forward, back, turn motion that my old vacuum had me accustomed to doing. The ball allows for so much more. I am in, out, around corners without losing my momentum or having to create a little dance to do it.

Match that with the flexibility that Dyson has given the DC24 by providing it with the technology to vacuum on all floors and you almost have the perfect vacuum. The Dyson DC24 vacuum cleaner comes with a push button method of turning off your head’s brush so that you can easily clean your hard floors and rugs without ruining them. While still having the option of flicking it back on without turning off the vacuum if you need to go back and get the carpeted rooms.

The collapsible hose makes cleaning your couch, car and vertical blinds very easy, without any of the hassle normal hoses can provide.

The Dyson DC24 is an amazing vacuum and one of the cheapest in their line. If you are interested in getting the bang for your buck this vacuum has it all.
