Why a Dyson vacuum cleaner is the most effective for removing pet hair

Ordinary vacuum cleaners lose suction as their bags and filters clog with dust, dirt and pet hair. Dyson machines use patented Root Cyclone™ technology, which separates dust and dirt from the airflow using centrifugal forces of up to 150,000G. Dyson machines don’t lose suction power, so they remove more dust, dirt and pet hair from your home.

Upright, cylinder and handheld vacuums for powerful pet hair removal Browse the range

HEPA filter

Dyson upright and cylinder vacuums have a sealed HEPA (High-Efficiency Particle Air) filter to capture particles as small as 0.1 microns. That’s equivalent to a single particle of cigarette smoke

Pet hair and allergies

When animals clean themselves, they deposit allergen-rich saliva on their fur, which soon ends up on your sofa and carpets, where it can trigger reactions in allergy sufferers. Dyson vacuums use Root Cyclone™ technology to remove more dust, dirt and pet hair from your home.

Dyson microbiology lab

Dyson has its own microbiology lab at its Research, Design and Development centre in Malmebsury, Wiltshire.

Dyson scientists study household dust and dirt, in all its forms. A lot of the work they do involves house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), one of the most common triggers of asthma and allergies. They keep them in colonies, feeding them a ground-up mixture of wheat germ and dog biscuit in ideal temperature conditions (25°C and 75% relative humidity). The research conducted in our lab informs new and better ways of removing them.

Dyson is thought to be the only appliance manufacturer in Europe (possibly the world) to have its own in-house microbiology lab.
