Dyson Ball
A ball has unique physical properties. Housing more core technology inside a ball improves the new Dyson Ball™ vacuum cleaners in several ways: there is less clutter around the machines and the centre of gravity is lowered - making them easier to handle and more stable.
The floor tools and cleaner heads of these machines are engineered to move easily across all floor surfaces and remove high levels of dirt and dust. The reconfigured air channels in Radial Cyclone™ technology reduce turbulence and minimise energy loss.

Cleaning performance
Dyson Ball™ barrel vacuum cleaners
DC38 and DC39 are new Dyson barrel vacuums with Ball™ technology. Conventional barrel vacuums that use fixed wheels can be awkward - heavy to pull, head the wrong way and collide with obstacles. A Dyson Ball™ barrel vacuum cleans without the awkward moves, turning on the spot. DC38 and DC39 also have a central steering mechanism for greater control. The pivot point is located near the centre of the machine, so they can make tighter turning circles and more easily follow the user's path.
DC38 is compact, is lightest to pull across different floor surfaces and has the performance of a big vacuum. DC39 is full-size and removes more dust than any other barrel vacuum cleaner. Both DC38 and DC39 have been engineered for reduced noise levels with no compromise in cyclone performance.
Dyson Ball™ upright vacuum cleaners
DC40 and DC41 are new Dyson Ball™ upright vacuums. More key components are housed within the ball, reducing clutter and streamlining the profile of the machine. They're easy to steer into difficult places.
Both machines have a cleaner head with an active base plate that self-adjusts automatically for optimal contact with all floor types. There are no fiddly dials, so there's no need to bend down to make adjustments when moving between rooms.
DC40 is lightweight at just 6.7kg, while DC41 is a full-size machine. Both have an instant-release high-reach wand that stretches to the top of stairs.
Also with Ball™ technology, DC24 is an ultra-lightweight and compact upright vacuum. Its handle compresses to make it easy to carry and store.

Radial Cyclone™ technology
Dyson has been continually refining cyclone technology for vacuum cleaners since inventing it more than 20 years ago. With Radial Cyclone™ technology, reconfigured air channels and improved flow efficiency reduce turbulence and preserve air pressure. More microscopic particles are extracted by the inner cyclones.
These refinements help remove more dirt, dust, allergens and pet hair from the airflow.
Ball™ technology
Dyson Ball™ vacuum cleaners steer very differently to conventional machines. They ride on a ball, which pivots on the spot so you can steer smoothly around furniture and other obstacles. The ball surface is smooth to reduce friction, and prevent it from digging into carpet pile.
The ball also houses many of the fundamental vacuum cleaner components. With DC38 and DC39, even the cable rewind system is located inside the ball. This creates a low centre of gravity, increasing stability and control.
