List of Dyson products

Dyson is a British-based company and manufacturer of bagless vacuum cleaners that use cyclonic separation, bladeless fans, brushless electric motors and heatless hand dryers.

While initially made in England, all of its products are now made in Malaysia and its brushless electric motors in Singapore.

Technologies

Dyson has introduced some innovative technologies used in several of their products, as well as those used in a single product, such as the dual cyclone used in vacuum cleaners.

Digital motor

The Dyson digital motor is a DC electric motor developed by Dyson operating on the switched reluctance principle used in several pieces of equipment. Dyson says that it is smaller, lighter, cleaner and more power-efficient (due in part to tight tolerances) than conventional electric motors. Dyson "digital" motors use pulse technology, rotate at the exceptionally high speed of up to 104,000 rpm, and do not use the carbon brushes used by other DC motors.

A simple two-pole motor running at very high speed can be very efficient. Essentially the motor is a two-pole brushless motor with a digital controller. Dyson says efficiency is 84%, replacing a 40% efficient motor. The controller enables the motor to develop constant power at any speed or voltage. The high speed required attention to avoid vibration and resist mechanical stresses. The impeller is made of carbon-fibre reinforced polymer, the shaft is steel; they had to be bonded by adhesives as they cannot be welded. The first version was named X020 and used in the Airblade hand dryer; the later DDM (Dyson digital motor) V2 is used for Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners.

Bladeless fan

Airblade hand dryer

Dyson Airblade (view from top) [1]

The Dyson Airblade is a hand dryer for commercial customers, typically made available in public hand-washing facilities. The Airblade uses Dyson's Digital Motor to produce a stream of air that flows at 400 mph acting like an invisible windscreen wiper to dry the hands in 10 to 12 seconds. The Airblade also uses Dyson's HEPA filter to remove bacteria and mold from the air. The Dyson Airblade is the world's first hygienic commercial hand dryer according to NSF International. The Dyson Airblade is also accredited by the British Skin Foundation and the Royal Institute of Public Health.

Air Multiplier fan

Dyson Air Multiplier [2]

On 18 October 2009 James Dyson announced the release of the Dyson Air Multiplier, an electric fan in desktop and floor-standing models, intended to provide smoother airflow and, having no exposed rotating blades, operating in a safer manner than conventional bladed fans. The idea for the Air Multiplier came from Dyson's Airblade hand dryer. The fluid dynamics engineers working on the design realised that a large amount of air was being retained in the body of the dryer, and decided to explore using it for other purposes.

The fan works by drawing 27 litres of air per second in through an inlet in the base pillar and forcing it through an outlet in the upper ring. The jet of air travels over the aerofoil shape of the ring, creating local low pressure, thereby pulling air from behind it as it decelerates in a process known as inducement, a property of Bernoulli's principle. Once the air exits the ring it entrains the air in front and alongside, producing an airflow of 405 l/second. Using this process, a small brushless impeller in the fan's base can power a much larger air outlet without exposing any blades.

The design for a nearly identical bladeless fan was patented by Toshiba in 1981, but was never manufactured. The initial patent claim by Dyson was rejected by the Intellectual Property Office, ruling that it "cannot be considered novel or cannot be considered to involve an inventive step" compared to the Japanese version. A subsequent patent application from Dyson highlights improvements in air dynamics.

The Air Multiplier fan received the Good Design Award in 2010.

Fan heater

Dyson Hot (AM04) [3]

In September 2011 Dyson announced the Dyson Hot fan heater (AM04), using Air Multiplier technology. Like most fan heaters it has a thermostat to control the temperature, and can also be used as a fan (without heat).

Vacuum cleaners

Model versions

All versions are identified by a name such as "DC14". Some have submodels identified by a suffix indicating specific facilities, implemented sometimes by additional tools supplied. Suffixes with the same meaning vary from model to model.

• All Floors, Multi Floor, Wood+Wool: suitable for both hard surfaces and carpets.
• Allergy: suitable for filtering out microscopic allergens.
• Animal: will pick up animal hairs better than a general-purpose model, and filter out fine particles. These machines all come with a mini turbine tool to help remove pet hair, human hair and cotton fibres from upholstry, cars, and confined areas.
• Motorhead: cylinder model with motorised brush head.

Other suffixes sometimes used indicate exclusivity to certain stores, e.g. Comet Exclusive & Overdrive (Comet) Blitz it(Currys), or limited editions. e.g. Drawing. The Drawing later became exclusive to John Lewis. These machines feature a different range of tools to the usual "Multifloor" and "Animal" versions and also appear in different colours.

Root Cyclone technology

The Dyson Root Cyclone technology is used in all Dyson vacuum cleaners from DC07. DC17, DC22, and DC23 use the improved Root Cyclone & Core Separator, also called Radix Cyclone, Intermediary Cyclone, or Level 3 Root Cyclone Technology.

Discontinued Models

GForce

"G-Force" was the name given to Dyson's first widely-available vacuum cleaner. It was the first vacuum cleaner to use "Dual Cyclone" separation technology. The G-Force was licensed to the Japanese company Apex Inc., and only available on the Japanese market. It was not sold under the Dyson name. James Dyson later used the money he earned from G-Force to start up the Dyson company.

DA001 / DC01

The first vacuum cleaner sold under the Dyson name was the DA001 - a domestic upright model. It used patented "Dual Cyclone" technology and was launched in 1993. Many were sold in the UK. Early models displayed a different style of Dyson Logo to the usual one which followed a couple of years after the DA001 was launched. They were labelled "Dyson Dual Cyclone". After a short period, the DA001 was renamed and labelled "DC01" in anticipation of it being the first model of more to come in the "DC" range. The later Dyson logo has been used ever since on all subsequent models. Early DA001 models had a few minor differences to the renamed DC01 model, but were essentially the same cleaner. The DA001 was made in Chippenham, England. Later models of DC01 were made in Malmesbury, England, at Dyson's brand new factory/research centre.

The DA001/DC01 had a single motor which provided the suction and also drove the brushroll - directly via a single rubber toothless belt. It was the only Dyson upright model never to offer any form of "brush control" (where the user could turn off the brushroll for use on hard floors) so was mainly designed to use of carpeted floors only. It stored its hose on the back of the housing as part of the handle wand, and removing the handle wand enabled this stretch hose to be used. This was also the only Dyson upright not to use washable pre-motor filters, and these had to be purchased and replaced every 3 months. It also featured a choice of post motor filtration - standard or HEPA (High Efficiency Particle Arrest) according to the model purchased.

The DA001 took the market by storm, as no-one had ever seen anything like it before, and the concept of a clear bin, with no bag, was a very different one to what people were used to in 1993. It was to compete with big names like the Hoover Turbopower, and was priced very high in comparison to other bagged cleaners. James Dyson was depending on his first UK market vacuum cleaner being a hit - it would have either made or broken him. Luckily for him, it was eventually accepted, and laid down the foundations for an immensely successful company, which would, in years to come, become the most popular manufacturer of vacuuum cleaners in history; with more households owning a Dyson than any other model.

Dyson no longer support this model, nor produce parts for it any longer. The limited edition De-Stijl models and other DA001/DC01 models in good condition are now becoming collectable, as this model is now obsolete with the oldest models of DA001 approaching 20 years old. The DA001 will go down in history as an engineering Icon, which started the huge trend in bagless vacuum cleaners.

DC02

The DC02, launched in 1995, was the first cylinder (canister) model sold by Dyson. Its shape allowed it to sit on stairs. Like the DC01, it used Dual Cyclone technology. It was not that popular during its production run and sold nowhere near the numbers the DC01 sold in. It was replaced in the late 90's by the DC05. The DC02 range is now one of the rarer Dyson models to come up for sale second hand in 2012, especially in good condition, and due to this, models such as the DC02 Clear and the DC02 Recyclone are becoming very collectable. Like the DC01, the DC02 is now obsolete (as of 2012) and no longer supported by Dyson.

In addition to the standard models, the DC02 was available in several special editions:

The De Stijl was coloured purple, red and yellow, in homage to the Dutch art movement from which it takes its name. It was produced in a limited edition of 20,000 units.

The rare DC02 Clear was produced in clear blue and green plastic, which allow the user to see its internal components through the casing. It pioneered the use of translucent plastic in a household product, launched before the iconic Apple iMac.

The Antarctica Solo model, coloured white and pale blue, helped raise funds for the Breakthrough cancer charity, whilst commemorating Sir Ranulph Fiennes's solo trek across Antarctica. Each of the limited edition run of 100,000 machines bore the image of Ranulph Fiennes's autograph.

The Recyclone was the first vacuum cleaner to be made of recycled plastic. Originally intended as a test-run for a range-wide 'Recyclone' scheme, the concept never went beyond a very small production run of DC02s. They were coloured green with organic pigment. The Recyclone is now very collectable if you can find one.

DC03

The DC03, Dyson's second upright vacuum cleaner, released in 1997, was a lightweight (6.9 kg), low profile upright cleaner. It resembled a twin-cylinder version of the DC01, contained one normal cylinder and a second which contained a pair of HEPA filters. The DC03 had a smaller, more compact 700W motor, and while its suction power was lower than any of the currently available uprights at around 100 Airwatts, its heavy-duty filtration system allowed it to survive for many years after the rest of the original Cyclone cleaners were discontinued. Was also the first upright model to feature brush control, via a clutch between the motor and the brushroll, and was able to be stored hung on a wall. The limited edition DC03 Clear, which was the only other model to feature a translucent casing apart from the DC02, is now very rare, and fast becoming collectable.

DC04

The DC04, released around 1998, was the true successor to the DC01. It had improved filters fitted as standard, including some noting the new 'LifeTime' title. Whilst the design was similar to the DC01, the DC04 sold far more models overall than the DC01 that it replaced and the DC02 (cylinder). A "De Stijl" model was also available, having the same filter setup—an H-level premotor filter and a HEPA post-motor filter—as the two Absolute models of the DC04. The Pre motor filter was washable and was relocated to the top of the cyclone assembly, and the tools stored on the top of the filter housing - another improvement over the DC01. Most models also featured the new clutch controlled brushbar introduced on the DC03. The limited edition models such as the DeStijl and the Purple/Magenta Absolute+ are now becoming rarer to find complete with twin colour tool set, in good condition, and will undoubtedly become the two collectable models from the DC04 range in the future.

DC05

The DC05 was the second cylinder model. It was designed as a replacement model for the DC02 (which had not been too popular) and had improved design features. The 'Motorhead' version was the first Dyson to offer a powernozzle: a floor nozzle with a motor-powered brush-roll for improved performance on carpets.

DC06

Dyson's first robotic vacuum cleaner. Equipped with the highly energy-efficient Dyson Digital Motor, it can match the pick-up power of a mains-powered vacuum cleaner. To this end, it was provided with a hose and a full set of dusting tools, which could be attached to the cleaner for above-floor cleaning tasks. In order to reach corners and baseboards more closely, the nozzle on the DC06 can move independently from the machine itself. The nozzle could move closer the edge of a room, and clean much more closely to the edge than typical robotic vacuum cleaners.

The batteries which provide the cleaner with power are self-cooling, and charge fully in 45 minutes.

The DC06 has the ability to 'learn' the room it's cleaning as it goes along, utilising sensors and specially-written navigation software. The DC06 also has the ability to distinguish between solid objects, such as walls and furniture, and human beings, pets, etc.

As of January 2012 the DC06 had not proceeded beyond the home-trial stage, as cost and weight needed reducing. Since the DC06 was designed, Dyson have made advances in the cyclonic technology,and the DC06 is not likely to go on sale.

DC07

DC07 "Origin" Dyson Vacuum cleaner

The DC07, released in 2001 was the first implementation of Root Cyclone technology into a vacuum cleaner. The model is similar in features to the DC04. New features included a bottom drop bin, controlled by a trigger in the top of the cyclone housing, which made for easier emptying, and the handle wand was also able to be reversed and fitted to the hose cuff at the handle, so making it easier to use than that on the DC04, where the handle often proved obstructive as it was non reversible. Suction was upgraded by a new, more powerful 1400W motor giving 280 Airwatts. This is about the most powerful model that Dyson made, and also the noisiest in use, with much of the operating noise coming from the upwards mounted cyclone assembly. The motor was also renowned for producing a high pitched whistling noise, but its superb cleaning performance outweighed the disadvantage of the amount of noise it made. As with the DC04, many models were fitted with clutch controlled brushbars, but there were other models such as the "Origin" and the "Precision" that omitted the clutch as on the DC01, with the main motor driving the brushroll directly. These models had a more solidly built brushroll, and were mainly intended for use on carpets only. They did have the problem however that they snapped their drivebelts if the brushroll became jammed.

The DC07 was also the first Dyson model to be sold in the USA, but the American market did not import many of the non-clutched models.

In 2006, Target started carrying a pink Dyson vacuum cleaner to help support breast cancer research. They were only sold in September and October.

The DC07 was one of the most popular models ever sold by Dyson, with a long production run from 2001 - 2008, it came in many different colour combinations and they are still very numerous today in 2012. They are now one of the most common refurbished vacuum cleaners on EBay, and make bargain buys for those looking for a reasonably priced Dyson. The DC07 did suffer from a few problems however; earlier models do now tend to suffer from brittle plastics, and torn hoses. The DC07's biggest design flaw was in the carrying handle on the top of the cyclone housing - many of these become brittle and snapped off. The plastic sole plates have also been a quality issue on this model, with many cracking or disintegrating after prolonged use, especially on the non-clutched models.

DC08

The DC08 was a new cylinder revision, released around 2002, incorporating the Dyson Root Cyclone technology found on the DC07. The DC08 was the replacement for the DC05, and was similar in features to the DC05. It was the first of the Dyson cylinder models to feature the new "Animal" derivative first seen on the DC07, which essentially meant that the cleaner was capable of dealing effectively with pet hair and dander. Animal models came with an air driven turbine floorhead and mini turbo brush for affective pet hair removal on carpets and furnishings - they also came equipped with Hepa post motor filters. None of the DC08 models were available with electric motorised floorheads like on the DC05 motorhead. Like the DC07, the DC08 was fitted with an uprated motor giving it more suction power, handled by the new root 12 cyclone system the DC08 was equipped with. This higher power output was able to drive the main turbo floorhead without the need for an electric motor and the expensive wiring that the DC05 Motorhead had. Lower models in the DC08 range did not come with the turbine floorhead, having only the standard floorheads which were better suited to hard flooring than carpets. Unlike the DC02, the DC08 did not have storage for its small tools in the body of the cleaner. As with the DC05, tools were stored on a small caddy attached to the suction hose. The DC08 was an extremely popular model which, like the DC07, had a long production run; it was upgraded to the DC08 Telescope wrap after the launch of the DC11, to enable it to be stored more efficiently, and was eventually superseded by the DC19. As of 2012, used DC08's are still immensely popular sellers on eBay, and despite the Dyson numbering system now reaching the DC50, there are still many DC08's in circulation.

DC08T

Next product after the DC11 with 'Telescope Wrap'. Wand handle is telescopic and the hose wraps around the machine.

DC9, DC10, DC13 omitted

There are no Dyson models DC09 or DC10, as these numbers are associated with the DC-9 and DC-10 aircraft produced by McDonnell Douglas. DC13 omitted due to superstition surrounding the number 13.

DC11

The DC11 was the first Dyson cylinder cleaner with Telescope wrap. It had two separate dust bins and cyclone assemblies to make the machine smaller when it was packed away. It was only available in two variants, one coloured yellow and the other was a turquoise/aqua model. An unusual machine to look at and the only other machine apart from the DC03 that featured the twin cylinder design, although on the DC11, both cylinders were identical and used to collect dirt. The DC11 was quickly superseded by the DC08T Telescope wrap, and not produced for very long.

DC14

The DC14 was released in 2004. It is a revision of the DC07 upright vacuum cleaner with lower centre of gravity and 'telescope reach'. It uses Dyson's Root 8 Cyclone technology, which maintains constant suction (a version improved since the DC07). Aside from the different design of the cyclone assembly and bin (which later featured on the DC15), the DC14 looks very similar to the DC07. It also has the same motor as fitted to the DC07 and the same floorhead (with the exception that the DC14 has a large debris channel fitted to the front of the brushroll housing). Due to the different downwards pointing cyclone design, the DC14 was slightly quieter in operation than the DC07 was, but still had the familiar motor noise as it used the same 1400 watt motor. Like the DC07, the DC14 comes in many variants, the standard DC14 (the Origin, non clutched), the All Floors (Clutched), the Allergy (Clutched), the Animal (Clutched, + mini turbine tool) and other special editions and colourways. As of January 2012 listed as "End of Line" on Dyson Web site.

DC15

The DC15, known as The Ball was released in 2005 in three variants, the DC15 All Floors, Allergy and Animal. It was the first of the many "Ball" vacuums, and is based on the DC14. It has a ball instead of wheels which, in conjunction with a universal joint on the cleaner head, makes it possible to steer the machine by twisting the handle to the right or left. The cleaner uses the Root Cyclone technology used in the DC14. The DC15 is a complex machine compared to earlier upright models, and is the first Dyson upright to feature an independent motorised brushroll, which can be switched on or off electronically via a brushroll motor switch located next to the main power switch. This gave the DC15 the advantage that if the brushroll became obstructed, the brushroll motor would automatically be shut off, rather than slipping the clutch as on earlier models (which was very noisy). The main suction motor was housed inside the "ball". Due to its high launch price, its very heavy overall weight, and the fact that it may have initially been seen as a gimmick, not that many DC15's were sold, with the cheaper DC14 remaining much more popular. The lightweight DC18 was launched late the following year, addressing the DC15's biggest criticism - its heavy weight. Dyson would continue the Ball themed cleaners with the DC24 and DC25 in the following years.

DC18

The 6.6 kilograms (15 lb) Dyson DC18 Slim, launched in September 2006 and produced until summer 2008, is a slimmer and lighter-weight successor of the 8.6 kilograms (19 lb) DC15 Ball upright. The DC18's Root Cyclone system has been trimmed down to better accommodate the machine's slimmer profile; the DC15 uses 8 cyclones, the DC18, 6. The bin of the DC18 holds 1.7 litres (0.37 imp gal) and the DC15 2.5 litres (0.55 imp gal).

The ball design has been modified for the DC18, and is not as complex as the DC15 ball unit. Rather than riding on a large ball that encloses the primary motor, the DC18 rides on a thin, cigar-shaped roller that provides more space for separate motor enclosure and airway paths.

Models current as of January 2012

DC12

Small cylinder machine released in Japan.

DC12plus

Small cylinders in Japan. Top-of-the-range models are fitted with the Dyson Digital Motor, which rotates at 100,000rpm.

DC16 - Dyson Handheld

DC16 Handheld Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner

The DC16 is Dyson's first handheld vacuum cleaner based on the same technology as used in the DC14 and DC15 root cyclone upright vacuum cleaners. The DC16 has 36 airwatts of constant suction. The DC16 shares the same styling as the other recent upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the Dyson range, and weighs 1.5 kg (3.3 lb).

Also available in an Issey Miyake limited edition in which the manifold on the cyclone assembly is pink instead of the standard yellow, and an Animal version with a motorized brushbar for picking up pet hair and gold cyclone manifold. Newest to the range is the DC16 Car and Boat which is designed for car and boat cleaning, supplied with a car 12 V charger and has a blue cyclone manifold.

DC17

The Dyson DC17 is an upright cleaner launched in October 2006 in the US. Although visually similar to the DC14, it contains new technologies. The first upgrade is the use of Dyson's Level 3 Root Cyclone. This system incorporates 11 cyclones to more efficiently filter sand and dust particles out of the airstream. In this system, the airflow travels from the low speed outer cyclone to two intermediate cyclones that filter out the bulk of dust and sand particles that are drawn into the system. Beyond that, the airflow flows through the remaining eight high speed cyclones which filters any remaining dust particles out of the airstream. The Level 3 Root Cyclone improves upon the original Root Cyclone system with its capability to more efficiently separate sand particles from the air flow, a problem with the earlier system.

The second change with the DC17 upright is the brushroll design. While the brushrolls used on the DC07, DC14, and DC15 were designed with European carpets in mind, the DC17's brush roll was designed for North America with a cylindrical shape, a large diameter, and short stiff bristles. A separate motor drives the brushroll, unlike the DC07 and DC14, which use power from the main motor via clutches. This made the DC17 the most effective of Dyson cleaners on carpeting.

The third change is a new colour scheme for the DC17, and also the Dyson DC16 Root 6 Handheld; the bright colours and silver tones are toned down in favour of shiny metallic accents and titanium as the main colour for the entire machine.Official DC17 Page.

The level 3 root cyclone system on the DC17 was quietly redesigned due to a gasket defect that allowed dirt to enter the cylones backward, clogging them and causing the cleaner to lose suction; almost all of the original DC17s had this problem. The redesigned cyclone pack, fitted to later DC17s, resolved this issue. Older DC17s were not recalled, but Dyson gave out and sold many of the redesigned cyclone packs.

DC19

Cylinder model, without the Telescopic Wrap system. It was the replacement of the DC08, and to all intents and purposes is virtually the same in appearance and design as the DC08.

DC19 T2

Same as DC19, but improved so that the brushbar can pick up on carpets and on hard floors. This model also used a plastic telescopic rod instead of the metal one found on the original DC19. Still a current model as of November 2012.

DC20

'Stowaway', as DC19 but with telescope wrap. Dyson have updated the DC08T (part of the DC08) series to form the DC20. Called the Dyson Stowaway in the UK. The colour scheme is new, and the cleaner is available in Standard, Allergy and Animal.

DC21

The model is known as the Stowaway in the United States, but as the Motorhead in the United Kingdom and other countries. It is the second cylinder vacuum from Dyson to have a motorized brushbar on the head of the nozzle. It is an advance on the DC08 Telescopic Wrap system, discontinued in some countries including the United Kingdom.

DC22

Known as "Dyson Baby" or "Dyson Compact" and two-thirds the size of the DC23. Using Core Separation which adds a third cyclone 'layer' to filter out smaller particles.

DC23

DC23 is similar in design to the DC21 but uses the new Core Separation that is also in the DC22. There is also a turbinehead animal version in Canada.

DC23 T2

A DC23 with different accessories and tools.

DC24

A small version of the DC25. Also uses ball technology with separate brushroll motor. It weighs 5.4 kilogrammes (11.9 pounds) and has 115 airwatts of suction power. It is small and compact, and the handle compacts further for easy storage. Looks like a child's toy, but appeals to people who prefer a lightweight cleaner. Like the DC25, this model has proved to be a big seller, due to its extremely compact size, but did have quality issues with the brushroll motors, some of which have failed prematurely. Was superseded by the DC50 in November 2012

DC25

The DC25 is a full size Ball upright, the replacement for the DC15 and DC18. A no-loss-of-suction vacuum features a lifetime washable high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The DC25 and the other upright vacuums from Dyson are the only vacuum on the market that has been certified asthma and allergy. It is available as All Floors (yellow), Animal (purple), Overdrive (blue), Blitz It (red), Exclusive (silver), and Blueprint (white and blue). This vacuum is very similar to the DC15 but on a smaller size, addressing issues brought up with the DC15. Proved to be a very popular ball cleaner, moreso than the DC15 and the DC18 (which was not a true ball model). Superseded in mid 2012 by the DC40 and DC41 Animal

DC26

Ultra compact cylinder model, the DC26, known as the Dyson "City" is the World's smallest vacuum with constant suction. Even smaller than the DC22. The machine is so small that it will fit onto a piece of A4 paper. With a very small dust container of 0.68 litres, and cord length of 5 metres, it was designed for small flats and apartments with primarily hard floors. It weighs just 5.6 kg and has an impressive 160 AirWatts suction power.

DC27

The DC27 is an update on the DC14. The DC27 is a full size upright which has wheels rather than a ball, an auto-adjusting cleaner head and "root-cyclone" technology. It also features an extending wand and hose and has a large debris channel to pick up large dirt particles.

DC28

This was another upright model produced for the US market. It was the replacement for the DC17. Has a powered cam to adjust the height of the brushbar ("Dyson Airmuscle") - controlled from a set of buttons by the main power switch above the cyclone assembly, a pneumatic actuator to keep the cleaning head on the floor, and a high-torque clutch to give extra power to the brushbar.

DC29

In Australia the DC29 is a cylinder model, an improved version of DC19. Very similar to DC19T2, the main differences being color and tooling and non-HEPA machine. A HEPA filter is now included in 2012 'Multi-Floor' white models. In Canada, the DC29 is actually an upright model similar to the DC25. This appears to be the first instance of a particular model number being used on an Upright OR a Cylinder depending on country of destination Supplied to Continental Europe and Australia (Cylinder type) and Canada (Upright type) (Not available in the UK)

DC30

Powerful handheld with a brushless----- switched reluctance motor. Can provide 6 minutes of high and constant suction. It is smaller, lighter and more powerful than the DC16, which uses a conventional motor. The DC30 has a yellow cyclone manifold.

DC31

The most powerful handheld, with the same motor technology as the DC30, but with a larger battery and dual power for more runtime. 10 minutes of high constant suction (at the same level as the DC30) or 6 minutes with 70% higher suction. Available as DC31 with a blue (UK and AUS), yellow (US), or red (EU) cyclone manifold, or the DC31 Animal which has a purple cyclone manifold.

DC32

Basically the same as DC23T2 (in the UK) with a revised color scheme and additional tooling.

DC33

Revised version of the DC27/DC28. Replacement for the DC14, upright wheeled cleaner that does not use ball technology. Available as Multi Floor (Yellow), Stubborn (White), Animal (Purple), i (Red). The DC33 has a plastic telescopic pole with smaller diameter than the metal telescopic pole of the DC14, so attachments from older Dyson's such as the DC14 do not fit the DC33. This model does not seem to be much of an advance on previous wheeled uprights, and more closely resembles the old DC14 than the DC27 did, using exactly the same style of floorhead as the DC14,DC07 and DC04. The plastic wand pole has been criticised as a lowering of quality from the older metal type, and also causes the main spine of the cleaner to flex more, without the support of the metal wand. The fact that older model's tools were not interchangeable was also criticised, with many buyers trading up from the DC07 or DC14 to the DC33, and finding that their old tools would not fit. The DC33 uses a single motor for the suction and to drive the brushroll via a mechanical clutch as on the DC04, DC07 and DC14. At this time, it seemed that Dyson were spending more of their development time with the new ranges of ball vacuum cleaners rather than the traditional all wheeled cleaners. The DC33 is still a current model as of November 2012.

DC34

Another Handheld model similar to the DC31.

DC35

Dyson Digital Slim. Similar design to the DC30/31/34 but with detactchable extension tube, modified electronics and motorised brush head.

DC36

DC38 version for Japan, France, Korea and Canada

DC37

DC39 version for Continental Europe.

DC38

Smaller version of the DC39.

DC39

Dyson's new cylinder vacuum cleaner released in late 2011. It uses Dyson's Radial Root Cyclone Technology. Uses a ball and a swivel mechanism for improved manoeuvrability.

DC40

The Dyson DC40 upright vacuum released in early 2012. The DC40 vacuum is Dyson's counterpart to the previously released DC41 Animal. The DC40 has Multifloor and Animal editions that utilise the Dyson ball technology.

DC41

The Dyson DC41 upright released in late 2011 as the replacement for the DC33, is the first upright vacuum with Dyson's new Radial Root Cyclone technology as well as an automatic height adjuster which provides the maximum amount of power in the suction head. The cleaner also has Dyson's new high-powered turbo brush for the hose. The DC41 uses ball technology.

DC42

A version of the Dyson DC40 offered for sale in Canada.

DC43

A version of the Dyson DC41 offered for sale in Canada.

DC44

Special models

"De Stijl" limited editions

Some of the early Dyson models (DC01, DC02, DC04) were available in a special limited edition "De Stijl" colour scheme, in homage to the Dutch design movement of the same name. All these are coloured a combination of purple, red and yellow.

"Dyson Antarctic Solo" limited editions

In 1996, 100,000 recoloured DC01 and DC02 models were produced as part of a fund-raising effort for Ranulph Fiennes's solo expedition to the Antarctic. For these models, the yellow parts found on the mainstream models were replaced with light blue ones, and on the DC02 Antarctic Solo the body was also recoloured in white instead of silver.

Other products

Contrarotator washing machine

The Dyson CR01 Contrarotator is a washing machine with two counter-rotating drums, the first of its type. Each drum has 5,000 spin perforations to help evacuate water. The machine was marketed under the slogan "Two drums are better than one" and first available in November 2000. Dyson's next washing machine was the CR02, with "Flowcheck" and "Allergy" models. The company later stopped making washing machines the same year, as they were unprofitable for the company.

As from the end of November 2012, Dyson will no longer support or service the Contra-rotator washing machines, which will officially become obsolete.
