While vacuum cleaners are different from model to model, most of them work on the same basic principle, but it was the Dyson vacuum cleaners that brought in an entirely new type of vacuum cleaner to the industry.
Most vacuum cleaners work on sucking dirt through the front nozzle and releasing air through the rear part of the vacuum using a high powered fan. As dirt is sucked in, it is collected into a bag or a canister. A bag vacuum cleaner collects the dirt in the bag and the bag itself acts as a filter. A canister vacuum pushes dirt into the canister, which will then become trapped as filters in the canister prevent it from getting out. Tiny holes in the filter allow air to flow through but are small enough to trap tiny particles of dirt and dust.
The problem with these models is that the filters act as the preventing device to block dirt. These filters, however, get dirty themselves. As a bag fills up or a canister vacuum is used, the filters become too dirty to be effective. A dirty filter means that air passages become blocked, which can also cause up to 50% power reduction in the suction from the vacuum.
The way a Dyson vacuum cleaner works is different from these other vacuums, as it doesn’t depend on the filters as it cleans. The cyclone technology inside the vacuum works on the same principle as a cyclone does. The air whirls around the inside of the vacuum, like a tornado. As it does, dirt and dust that enters the vacuum cleaner are pushed outward, away from the continuing air stream. By the time the air is traveling through the filters, there is no more dirt in the air, so it never loses suction.
The continuing suction means that as you clean from room to room, the suction pressure never drops. This means that you can pick up more dirt and more dust; just as much dust as you did when you first started using it even six rooms earlier. Other vacuums, like the bag vacuums, as they fill up, you need to keep replacing the bag along with the filters in order to keep the suction continuous, which could cost hundreds in vacuum bag costs.
There are different types of Dyson brand vacuum cleaner models, but they all work on the same basic cyclone principle. As Dyson vacuum cleaners are used over a long period, it never loses suction, so many consider it a better investment. With the variety of models, it only provides a choice in attachments and sizes. You’ll get the same quality no matter which Dyson model you choose.
Will this lead to a new revolution in vacuum cleaners? What is clear is that if someone can build a better vacuum cleaner, possibly this can create a new way of thinking and help improve other technologies as well. For now, the Dyson style cyclone vacuum cleaners seem to be a popular choice among households. Dyson has made a solid step towards the company’s future.
