DYSON DC39 ANIMAL PLUS VACUUM CLEANER

Product Information

Following is our video review of the DC39 Animal. We walk through features, specifications and also run the machine through several key tests. The Dyson DC39 sports the familiar Dyson styling comprising a clear, plastic dust container and a purple grooved chassis along with the telltale ball. Not only does the ball replace conventional wheels for smoother steering, it also houses much of the cleaner's technological innards. The cyclones make up the innovative looking purple assembly atop the dust canister. There is a lot of marketing talk about the DC65 having “Radial” root cyclone technology as opposed to just root cyclone technology. As far as we can figure ‘Radial” simply means that airways have been remodelled to help improve flow efficiency and reduce turbulence. In theory this should provide better suction power and dust removal. The vacuum does generate a very healthy 275 air watts of suction. For comparison purposes consider the following (in air watts): Thankfully, the bottom-mounted hatch works to reduce this as much as possible. The filter is also located in the dust container, making it easy to get to when you need to clean it. It also works well on stairs and car upholstery. Additional accessories include a stair tool and a combination tool, which converts to a brush tool ideal for dusting.

Where other vacuum cleaners use bags to trap dust and dirt, the Dyson DC39 Animal Vacuum uses a canister. Dust bags are privy to tiny holes that clog up with dust particles. As you use the vacuum cleaner, the airflow gets restricted by this clog, and the cleaner loses suction. The Dyson DC39 is simply the best cylinder cleaner that we've seen so far. The smooth steering, easy emptying and trigger-based brush bar control make it child's play to use, while the cleaning power is also excellent. It's quite heavy, so it could be a bit of a struggle for cleaning the stairs, but that's really our only gripe. This Dyson had trouble dealing with edges. We found that the Triggerhead brush didn't have suction from the side or the front until .5 inches in. That means when you're vacuuming along a wall, no matter what, you'll have a strip of uncleaned carpet. It's always a pain to bust out the crevice tool for an entire room. Data plays the most important role in our reviewing. Hard numbers justify our opinions about any vacuum. For a vacuum like the Dyson DC39 Animal, cleaning and noise levels concern us.

Dyson DC39 Vacuum Cleaner Spares

This Dyson Animal uses the famous Ball Technology. Instead of a vacuum that travels on wheels, the vacuum literally spins around on a large sphere enabling the canister to turn uninhibited in any direction. The ball also houses the motor which helps to create a low center of gravity making the machine more stable. In addition, the ball has been acoustically treated to ensure that the vacuum is not too noisy. The ball uses polyurethane sound-insulating materials that help absorb noise and sound dampening mounts are used to attach the motor to the housing. Hardwood floors are challenging to clean in a different way to carpets. It’s slightly slippery, so sometimes the brush doesn’t grip well enough to get all the fine dust and pet hair.

High-pile carpets are notoriously difficult to clean, and mine is no exception. The Dyson DC39 performed significantly better than any other cleaner I’ve used on my high-pile carpets, thanks to the radial root cyclone technology. Suctioning on Hardwood FloorsMy living room is a little crowded – I like a homier, more comfortable look and feel, so the popular minimalist décor trend has flown right past me. The downside to this is having to move sofas, chairs, tables, and comfort cushions around when cleaning.

It performed adequately well, but we’ve seen other vacuums do a bit better job on upholstery. If there was a really good pet hair tool, it likely would have fared better. On the floor, however, it’s a completely different story. This is what makes the DC39 so powerful. The Radial Root Cyclone technology works to increase suction while limiting particles in its airflow. The end result is a vacuum with truly incredible suction power.
