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.
