Built from scratch, the new dyson took 5 years to develop.  Small enough to fit on a A4 paper, with 13 cyclone cones for its centrifugal force. The new Dyson is meant to do what larger vacuum cleaners do but do it while being small.

The Dyson City DC26 vacuum is a powerful but compact cylinder designed for small spaces. City dwellers form over 90% of the UK’s population . And in England, 2.3 million homes are smaller than 50m². With space at a premium, there’s no room for bulky appliances that don’t always clean effectively.

The vacuum is small enough to sit on an A4 piece of paper – with no loss of cleaning performance.

All 275 parts of DC26 were re-engineered by Dyson specialists to miniaturize the technology while keeping the performance of a full sized vacuum. Dyson’s patented Root Cyclone™ technology – condensed to fit into the machine – spins dust and dirt out of the air using centrifugal force, so there’s no loss of suction. 13 small inner cyclones deliver superior efficiency in as little space as possible – keeping air velocity high and energy consumption low.

James Dyson explains:

“It took us five years to painstakingly compress and rebuild every single component before we had a machine that was a third smaller than its predecessor, yet could still tackle dirt like bigger machines.”

Although DC26 weighs less than some laptops, it’s incredibly tough – withstanding 5,318 drops onto a hard floor and 10,000 pummels against a metal wall from Dyson’s test team.

Asthma and allergy sufferers can breathe cleaner indoor air, as every component and seal in the Dyson City vacuum is engineered so allergens are retained. Its dual channel floor tool also means that two separate airflow channels can direct suction power evenly. As with all Dyson vacuum cleaners, the air expelled from machine contains up to 150 times less bacteria and mould than the air you breathe.

While suction can drop by half in some bagged vacuum cleaners, The Dyson City vacuum retains the same high level of suction, room after room.
