About The Dyson Cyclone
The Dyson Cyclone technology is the back bone of every Dyson Vacuum Cleaner.
The problem with most vacuum cleaners is that the more dirt, dust, hair, and junk you pick up the more suction you lose. This unfortunately means that by the time you are finished with 1 room the vacuum is losing its power and you are leaving stuff behind.
A normal vacuum cleaner uses a bag or filter that air is pulled through to catch any contaminents that it can. The problem is that as the filter and bag get filled up the air flow is blocked by the dirt that it caught. This causes your vacuum to lose it’s suction power.
The Dyson upright and canister vacuum cleaners are different because they use a cyclone to push the dirt and contaminants down to the bottom of the canister freeing up the filter to do it’s job without getting gunked up.
What the Dyson Cyclone technology does is force air to perform a cycloning motion within the Dyson canister. Imagine a tornado; the vacuum is twisting and swirling the air around the canister in order to push what it has already picked up to the bottom keeping it away from the top of the canister making the filter free of any particles that may lead to a blockage.
The History of the Dyson Cyclone:
James Dyson is the man behind the machine. It was in the late 1970′s when Dyson though of the idea to apply centrifugal force to a vacuum cleaner. And with that thought he invented the world’s first cyclone vacuum.
After being constantly frustrated with the With his “Hoover Junior” inability to pick up dust without losing it’s suction James Dyson decided it was time to invent his own.
Over 5,000 prototypes later and a refusal to supply it form the European marketplace Dyson found the G-Force vacuum selling in catalogs in Japan. It wasn’t until 1986 that he received his first patent on the Dyson Cyclone technology but since then it has been nothing but success.
After most companies had rejected Dyson’s Cyclone and vacuum he decided to start his own manufacturer. Now Dyson is one of the leading brands of vacuums in the UK and in 2005 was considered to be a premier vacuum cleaner in the United States.
What Models Use The Dyson Cyclone
All current models of the Dyson upright vacuums use the cyclone technology to varying degrees. This includes the DC14, DC15, DC17 , DC24 & DC25. You will find the cyclone on older models like the DC07 as well, but since Dyson is a leader in research and development the Dyson Cyclone is enhanced with every new model.
