Frequently asked questions

What is a Cyclone vacuum cleaner?

A V8 Cyclone vacuum cleaner uses centrifugal force and a bin, rather than a bag to capture dirt and debris. The idea was originally pioneered by James Dyson. It has since been refined across various machines. Such as the Dyson V8 Cyclone vacuum, which delivers powerful, fade-free suction due to its cyclonic vacuum design.

Is there a rechargeable Dyson vacuum cleaner?

Yes. All of Dyson’s cordless vacuum cleaners are rechargeable. Some vacuums, like the Dyson V8 Cyclone vacuum feature swappable batteries, with 60 minutes of run time each,² so you can maximise your battery life.

How does a bagless vacuum cleaner work?

Most bagless vacuums are V8 Cyclone vacuum cleaners that use centrifugal force and a bin, rather than a bag to capture dirt and debris. The idea was originally pioneered by James Dyson. It has since been refined across various machines. Such as the Dyson V8 Cyclone vacuum, which delivers powerful, fade-free suction due to its cyclonic vacuum design.

How do you get the best vacuum suction?

Suction can be impeded by unrefined elements, such as a vacuum bag. V8 Cyclone vacuums are refined machines that deliver high power suction uninterrupted using centrifugal force. The Dyson V8 Cyclone vacuum delivers 150 Air Watts of suction power.⁵

Is a Cyclone vacuum better than a vacuum cleaner with a bag?

Yes. Cyclone vacuum cleaners have superior performance and suction power to a vacuum cleaner with a bag. This is because a cyclonic vacuum, like the Dyson V8 Cyclone vacuum cleaner, uses centrifugal force and a bin to capture dirt, without any loss of power.

What is a good suction power for a vacuum cleaner?

The Dyson V8 Cyclone delivers a high-power 150 Air Watts of suction³ due to its use of centrifugal force. This allows the vacuum to deliver fade-free suction power that isn’t impeded by the use of a bag.
