Dyson refreshes vacuum line-up

Dyson has refreshed its vacuum line-up with new technology that makes light work of pet hair.

The engineering company is introducing de-tangling brush bar technology, the cordless Pet Groom Tool, alongside a new Scratch Free Dusting Brush, and Awkward Gap Tool attachment.

The new brush bar technology is designed to tackle all hair. It is inspired by a de-tangling comb, the brush bar features hair removal vanes, precisely angled to help migrate all hair types directly into the cleanerhead.

Dyson engineers and microbiologists studied a variety of animals to gain a detailed understanding of size, texture and structure of hair across animal species and breeds, as well as the invisible allergens and bacteria they can introduce to the home.

Monika Stuczen, Research Scientist in Microbiology at Dyson, said: “The impact pets have in the home goes beyond what we can see. Effectively removing pet hair is important, but pet dander with dried-on saliva is a problem which is invisible to the naked eye.

“These microscopic particles can carry allergy-causing proteins around the home. Lightweight and miniscule, they can remain airborne for hours or transfer between objects. Research has even found cat allergens in rooms where cats have never been. So, the proper filtration found in Dyson machines is vital to maintain a cleaner whole-home environment.”
