Product Description

DC50 Animal is Dyson� �s lightest upright vacuum. It weighs just 11.6 lbs. but performs like a full-size upright. The technology inside has not simply been shrunk, but concentrated with every angle and dimension re-engineered.

Four key technologies combine to give DC50 Animal Dyson’s most advanced cleaner head to date. The cleaner head self-adjusts for optimal contact on every floor type. The brush bar has a mixture of stiff nylon bristles and carbon fiber filaments. On carpets, the nylon bristles remove ground-in dirt, and on hard floors the ultra-fine carbon fiber filaments remove fine dust. Like all Dyson vacuums, DC50 Animal has no bag, so there� �s no loss of suction. Instead, patented cyclone technology spins dust, dirt and pet hair from the air. With 2 Tier Radial cyclones, DC50 Animal has 19 cyclones that work in parallel across two tiers to capture microscopic particles from the airflow.

DC50 Animal has Dyson � s latest Ball technology. Even more of the machine’s key components are located inside the ball itself. This reduces clutter on the outside of the machine, streamlining its profile for better maneuverability. DC50 Animal comes with the Tangle-free Turbine tool, the only turbine tool that doesn � t tangle. Counter-rotating heads with brushes remove hair from carpets and upholstery. So there s no brush bar for hair to wrap around.

Patented Dyson Technology

Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology work better. As they work, they file patent applications to protect their inventions from copycat manufacturers. That� �s why the only place you� �ll find Dyson technology is inside a Dyson machine.

Ball technology to help you steer with ease Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaners use patented Ball technology to overcome the steering limitations of fixed wheels. They ride on a ball, which turns on the spot so you can steer with ease. DC50 Animal has Dyson� s latest Ball technology. Even more of the machine ��s key components are located inside the ball itself. This reduces clutter on the outside of the machine for even easier steering into difficult places. The ball itself is made of ABS and polycarbonate, the same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. It combines high impact strength with resistance to distortion. The ball also holds the heaviest component (the motor), positioned towards the base for a lower center of gravity and greater stability.

New 2 Tier Radial cyclones Ordinary vacuum cleaners rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. The more that you use them, the tiny holes in the bag clog with particles of dust. Then the air flow is restricted, so the vacuum cleaner loses suction over time. Dyson vacuums do not rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. Instead, Dyson uses Cyclone technology, spinning the air at incredibly high speeds. Dust, dirt, and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the bin. There's no bag. No loss of suction. Dyson has continually refined cyclone technology since it's invention 20 years ago. The DC50 is the first Dyson upright vacuum to feature a double stack of cyclones. 19 inner cyclones arranged across 2 tiers work in parallel to increase airflow and separate more microscopic dust. The cyclones are Dyson's smallest to due, and their reduced size creates high centrifugal forces to separate fine dust from the airflow.

DC50 Animal Technology

Advanced cleaner head technology Many upright vacuum cleaners use fixed settings and their cleaner heads don� �t self-adjust to different floor types. And the bigger the gap between cleaner head and floor, the more suction power is wasted. The DC50 cleaner head has been engineered for increased dirt pick-up on all floors. Four key technologies combine to make it Dyson� �s most advanced cleaner head technology to date.

• Carbon fiber brush bar: DC50 is the first Dyson upright vacuum cleaner to have carbon fiber brush bar technology. The brush bar has a mixture of stiff nylon bristles and anti-static carbon fiber filaments. On carpets the nylon bristles remove ground-in dirt. On hard floors the ultra-fine carbon fiber filaments remove fine dust.

• Self-adjusting base plate: The cleaner head features a base plate which automatically raises and lowers across different floor types, retaining more suction at the cleaner head. No fiddly dials or bending down to make adjustments.

• Optimal contact brush bar: This is Dyson� s first upright vacuum without rug strips on the cleaner head. This ensures the brush bar has full coverage of the surface it� �s cleaning, and eradicates grooming stripes on carpets.

• In-line drive: The motor has been engineered to sit inside the brush bar itself, so there are no energy losses due to the belt flexing and slipping.

Features

Tangle-free Turbine tool: The only turbine tool that doesn ��t tangle. Counter-rotating heads with brushes remove hair and dirt. A clean air turbine provides the flexible heads with constant power over uneven surfaces. There’s no brush bar for hair to wrap around, it� �s released straight into the bin.

Extra tools: DC50 Animal comes with a combination tool and a stair tool. The combination tool reaches further and has softer bristles for improved spot cleaning and gentle dusting. The stair tool removes dirt and dust from corners and against vertical edges of stairs.

Quick release wand: DC50 Animal has a quick release, long reach wand for cleaning stairs and awkward areas. The wand releases and retracts in a single action and the handle collapses into the hose after use. There are no separate parts to assemble.

Captures allergens, expels cleaner air: Dyson cyclones capture microscopic particles including pollen, mold and bacteria.

Clear bin lets you see when it needs emptying: The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying, and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your new Dyson machine has picked up.

No extra costs: Some vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement bags and filters and the cost soon adds up. Dyson vacuum cleaners don ��t need bags, so there are no extra costs to worry about.

5 year warranty, parts and labor: Your Dyson vacuum cleaner is likely to take a few hits during everyday use, but that� �s nothing compared to what Dyson puts its machines through during testing and development. All Dyson vacuum cleaners undergo a lengthy and rigorous testing process. That� �s why DC50 Animal comes with a 5 year warranty, parts and labor.

Dyson DC50 Animal Compact Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

Three months ago, our 16 months old LG compressor vacuum cleaner powered brush stopped working, and I told my wife let's just get a Dyson this time. Fortunately, we had protection plan and got a full refund, and we were on a mission to find the best vacuum cleaner. We also considered Miele and Sebo, but decided on Dyson because of it being bag-less and also the price difference. However, the only model available in March was DC41, which is a great vacuum, but I heard some news from UK about the new modified line which included the DC50 and the smaller canister DC47; unfortunately, these were not available any time soon for us living in the States. Therefore, we had to get a small Hoover vacuum and wait patiently until these new models become available.

DC47 or DC50? Animal or Multi-floor Dilemma

After much anticipation, last night we finally got our DC50 Animal. Although we don't have any pets, we chose Animal version because my wife has long hairs; Compared to other versions, Dyson Animal vacuum cleaners are a bit more expensive, and they come with special attachments for picking up hairs. Both DC47 and DC50 Animal come with a tangle free turbine head that retails for about $70 but is much cheaper on Amazon, and you have the option to get a Dyson multi-floor vacuum and buy the tool separately. We compared DC47 and DC50 in the store, and found out that the brush head on DC47 is turbine head while DC50 has powered brush. We also found out that DC50 has a larger and better designed dustbin with 0.21 gallons over DC47's 0.15 gallons dustbin. The handle to hold DC47's dustbin over the trashcan is very small and user-enemy. The button for opening the dustbin lid in DC47 is on the side of the dustbin in an awkward place, while DC50's is right at the top. In our observations, the only good things about DC47 were the compact size and the retractable cord, and although Dyson's website indicates DC47 has more suction power than DC50, these were not enough reasons to sway our vote toward DC47, and we ended up getting the DC50.

Unpacking and Setup

You will be surprised by how small the retail package really is! It may be a little bigger than a gym bag, and it has a handle to carry around. Opening the package was a bit rough, but assembly was really easy and quick. The assembly took less than 5 minutes, and because the box had some really hard glue, I actually spent more time on opening the box than the setup itself. Anyway, we were up and running in less than 10 minutes. One quick tip: install the attachments holder before you put the cord back, since it blocks the slot.

Test Drive and Cleaning

All I can say is WOW! The suction is amazing, and the motor is very quiet. We have never seen our carpet look so new and bright since we moved in. The suction if not better is as good as the LG Compressor that we really liked, and overall it seems this Dyson has better built. My wife has long hairs and cleaning the brush is a breeze with our new Dyson compared to our previous LG, Hoover, and Samsung vacuums. We live in a 2-level apartment of about 1100sq.ft, and we had to empty the dustbin twice--once for upper level, and once for lower level. The dustbin bottom lid is attached to the base with a small plastic tab that is a little bit flimsy, so I hope it does not break anytime soon. Good news is, Dyson has a 5 years parts and labor warranty so we are covered. This vacuum is a bit pricy, but it seems unavoidable with today's trends.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, quality appliances are getting more expensive. We considered Miele and Sebo before Dyson, and we found out that they both are even more expensive than Dyson. It is true they may be better on the long run, but they are not bag-less and therefore less green. This Dyson is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Although we are very satisfied with the purchase, it wouldn't hurt if this wonderful vacuum cleaner was a tad cheaper.

Pros:
- Powerful Suction
- Easy to Clean: both the brush head and the dustbin
- Lightweight
- Very Quiet Operation
- Thoughtful Attachments: including Dyson Tangle Free Turbine
- 5 Years Parts and Labor Warranty

Cons:
- No Retractable Cord
- Flimsy Plastic Tab on the Dustbin
- Small Dustbin
- Price

Update: July 2013
After a month of use, we are happy to report everything works fine, and vacuum suction continues to amaze us. I had one incident with one of the small red handles that open the brush-head when I wanted to remove some tangled hairs, and it suddenly came off. I thought it was broken, but it just was popped out, and I could easily put it back on its place. You know, although some parts of this vacuum feel flimsy at times, they are actually not that flimsy!
