Dyson is renowned for its bagless, cyclonic technology vacuum cleaners. It produces different types of vacuum cleaners, including handheld, canister and upright. The major differences between the vacuums, however, are their features. All new Dyson canister and upright vacuum cleaners come with a five-year warranty on workmanship and parts, and new handheld vacuum cleaners come with a two-year warranty on parts and workmanship. Certain Dyson models will overlap features.

Pets

An example of a handheld animal vacuum is the DC31, which features a motorized brush bar and a dual-power mode to provide you with a constant amount of suction.
