The Dyson DC 15 doesn’t look like your typical vacuum cleaner when you first see it. One major reason is the large yellow ball that this vacuum rolls around on. Gone are the wheels of older vacuum designs. The large yellow ball allows the DC15 to pivot and roll on all surfaces with ease and the maneuverability is amazing.
With its unique roller ball design, the DC 15 also has a unique filtration system. Now, you will hear different things about the Dyson vacuum, but they don’t use a filter like other cannister vacuums use.
The Dyson DC 15 sucks the air and dirt into the cannister where the cyclone power removes larger particles, such as food, hair and fibers. This occurs in the outer chamber of the cannister. The air then goes into the inner cyclone chamber where it is rotated with super high velocity to remove even more fine particles.
Now, here is the filter part. There is a small washable inner foam filter that the Dyson does use, however it uses it to keep any materials and dust from entering the motor housing. Keeping the motor clean will allow your Dyson to work for years.
The final filtration is the HEPA filter. The Dyson HEPA filter prevents about 99 percent of bacteria and mold from re-entering your home.
Although most people had never heard of a Dyson vacuum before, they had been around for years. Mostly they were found in specialty vacuum stores and higher end department stores, along with the likes of the Hoover and others. Dyson also prides itself in continually improving its product line after initial development.
The Dyson DC15 is a great vacuum that you can still buy. The patented yellow ball system instead of wheels makes this a very popular model also. With the great suction power and attachments, cleaning with this vacuum is simple and easy.
Overall, since the first appearance of the DC15 Dyson vacuum several years ago, there have been subtle improvements. However, with time the price of this great vacuum has come down quite a bit from its initial price. This is a great vacuum for the money and one that will last longer than cheaper models from competitors.
