Dyson DC24 Animal - Ultra-Lightweight Dyson Ball Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Owners

Keep your home sparkling clean with the Dyson DC24 Animal bagless upright vacuum cleaner. With high suction power, it removes dust, dirt, pet hair and other particles from carpets, upholstery and hard floors. The motorized brush bar spins up to 90 times per second to thoroughly clean your carpet. This brush bar can be turned off while cleaning delicate rugs. With Dyson's patented Root Cyclone technology, this vacuum cleaner spins air really fast, sending dirt and debris straight to the bin without leaving any trails behind. Its Ball technology allows smooth maneuvering around corners for effortless use. This multi-floor upright vacuum has a washable HEPA filter that traps microscopic allergens such as pollen, mold and bacteria from the air for a cleaner and more hygienic home. Its included wand conveniently reverses to clean hard-to-reach places. You can easily empty the dustbin with the simple press of a button. Its lightweight design makes this HEPA filter vacuum cleaner easy to carry around your home. With a compressible handle, it ensures convenient storage in small spaces.

Root Cyclone™ technology

Conventional vacuums rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. But when you start to use some bagged machines, dust can clog the tiny holes in the bag. Some ordinary bagless vacuums work in a similar way. They use a central filter to trap fine dust, which can clog too. Suction fades, leaving dust and dirt behind in your home.

Dyson's patented Root Cyclone™ technology doesn’t rely on a bag to trap dust and dirt. Instead, it spins the air so fast that centrifugal forces up to 100,000 times the force of gravity fling dust and dirt out of the air and straight into the clear bin. And that includes the fine dust that can restrict airflow in some ordinary bagless vacuums. Unlike some other vacuums, Dyson machines don't lose suction.

Ball™ technology for upright vacuums

Conventional upright vacuum cleaners use fixed wheels. But wheeled vacuums can be awkward to steer and can make you work a lot harder than you need to. All that back and forth around corners and obstacles. Ball™ technology is a radical alternative to fixed wheels. Dyson Ball™ vacuums ride on a ball, which pivots on itself so you can instantly change direction with just a turn of the wrist.

Mini turbine head

The Dyson Mini turbine head has an air-driven brush bar that removes pet hair and dirt from tight spaces like upholstery, stairs and inside the car. Tiny bristles catch fine hair and fibers. A clean air turbine reduces bulk and weight and prevents obstructions. The cover is made from tough polycarbonate.

Hygienic and quick to empty

Emptying the bin on a Dyson vacuum is quick and hygienic. Just press the button to release the dirt. The bin is clear, so you can see when it needs emptying - and how much dust, dirt and pet hair the machine has captured. Dyson vacuums were the first to have clear bins - despite market researchers insisting it was a bad idea. Now clear bins are everywhere (though not all are made from the same ABS polycarbonate as riot shields, like Dyson bins).

Ultra-lightweight and compact

A DC24 machine weighs just 5.4kg. It's easy to carry, and the handle compresses to store in tight spaces. It may be small, but it's tough - made from the same materials used in crash helmets and riot shields. And it performs like a full-size Dyson vacuum.

Captures allergens. Expels cleaner air.

Ordinary vacuums can’t always retain all the dust they remove – so some of them vent some of it back into your room in the air they expel. That’s the reason for the dusty, electrical smell. Dyson cyclones can capture microscopic particles such as pollen, mold and bacteria.

Reversible wand

The wand reverses to reach awkward areas more easily and with a better grip. Tools click-fit to the end of the wand to give more options for cleaning high or hard-to-reach places.

Motorized brush bar

Stiff nylon bristles spin at up to 90 times per second to agitate carpet pile and dislodge ground-in dirt and pet hair. The brush bar can be turned off to protect delicate rugs and hard floors. The button is above the clear bin – no need to bend down to find it.

Washable HEPA filter

Dyson cyclones are able to extract microscopic particles including common household allergens such as pollen and mold. But there’s also a HEPA filter as an extra precaution for people with asthma and allergies. It won’t need replacing – just give it a wash according to the instructions that come with the machine.

DC24 Animal is ultra-lightweight and compact, with a handle that compresses to store in tight spaces. It rides on a ball for easy steering. DC24 Animal cleans every floor type, and has a reversible wand for stairs and hard-to-reach places. There’s also a Mini turbine head to remove pet hair and stubborn dirt from upholstery, stairs and the car.

Ultra-lightweight Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner engineered for powerful pet hair removal. 

DC24 Animal is an ultra-lightweight and compact Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner for homes with pets. It uses patented Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction. Weighing in at just 5.4kg, it's Dyson's lightest upright, and includes a compressible wand so you can store it away more easily. It has a motorised brush bar to remove pet hair and dirt from carpets, and a mini turbine head to clean pet hair and dirt from awkward spaces around the home and car.

DC24 Animal also includes patented Ball technology, which allows you to steer with ease around obstacles such as furniture and household appliances. It rides on a ball, so there's no more pushing back and forth to turn corners.

Ball technology to help you steer with ease

Dyson Ball technology lets you steer with ease.

Have you ever got frustrated pushing an ordinary upright vacuum cleaner back and forth, back and forth to steer around furniture and other obstacles? Have a look underneath it, and you'll see that's because it sits on fixed wheels, perfect if all you want to do is travel in a straight line, but not so good at corners. Frustration is an important source of invention for Dyson engineers, it sparks new ideas, new ways of solving problems. It was their frustration with fixed wheels that led them to develop a new way of turning corners.

Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaners use patented Ball technology to overcome the steering limitations of fixed wheels. They ride on a ball, which pivots around itself so you can steer with ease, changing direction with just a turn of the wrist. The idea for Ball technology came about from a Dyson engineer studying new ways to steer. It started crudely - an old wand handle attached to a wheel. Eventually the wheel became a ball - and an ideal home for the motor.

The ball itself is made of glass-reinforced polypropylene, the same material used in the manufacture of car dashboards. It combines high impact strength with resistance to distortion. The ball is also where you'll find the motor. By putting the motor inside the ball, at a neutral point, Dyson engineers were able to lower the machine's centre of gravity and improve manoeuvrability even more.

Motorised brush bar for powerful pet hair removal 

DC24 Animal has a motorised brush bar for removing dirt and pet hair that have lodged deep inside carpets. The stiff bristles on the brush bar spin at high speeds - up to 90 times per second to agitate the carpet pile and dislodge dirt and pet hair so that it can be vacuumed up and removed. Don't worry if you also have hard floors or delicate rugs the brush bar can be turned off so you can use DC24 Animal on these surfaces too.

Mini turbine head tool to clean pet hair from tight spaces 

Pet hairs don't just accumulate on carpets. They also get stuck on upholstery, beneath furniture, on stair carpets, inside your car... Powered by your Dyson vacuum's suction, the mini turbine head tool attaches to the wand to remove pet hair from confined spaces. It lets you get into all those awkward spots you couldn't otherwise reach. You'll find it invaluable to make sure your home and car are free from fur.

Reversible wand 

Despite its compact size, DC24 Animal has a long reach for cleaning stairs and awkward areas. The wand on DC24 Animal reverses to reach out-of-the-way spots more easily and with a better grip. There are no awkward components to assemble, and you can also attach tools and accessories to extend your cleaning abilities even further.

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. Emptying is quick and hygienic just press the button to release the dirt.

Captures allergens, expels cleaner air 

DC24 Animal includes a sealed HEPA (High-Efficiency Particle Air) filter to trap tiny particles as small as 0.1 microns. That’s about the size of a single particle of cigarette smoke. Particles this small include common household allergens such as pollen, mould spores and dust mite faeces.

And because the filter is washable you won’t need to replace it. Just give it a rinse once a month with cold water.

Approved for allergy sufferers 

Dyson upright and cylinder vacuums are approved by 12 allergy associations worldwide, including the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) and Allergie Suisse. Allergie Suisse approval is one of the most stringent in the world. To secure it, vacuums have to provide constant suction and separation performance so that they don't lose effectiveness while you clean.

No bags to throw away 

The bags in ordinary vacuum cleaners clog with dust and dirt, causing a loss of suction. After a while the suction can fall so low you have to replace the bag and throw the old one away. A lot of vacuum cleaner bags these days are made from a mixture of plastic and paper, which means you can't recycle them. Like a lot of waste, they end up in landfill, where they take years to decompose.

With a Dyson vacuum, you can simply detach the clear bin and empty it onto the compost heap. Biodegradable dust and fluff will be broken down naturally into useful fertiliser. With no bags to replace, you won't be adding to the landfill problem.

No ongoing costs 

Other vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement bags and filters and the cost soon adds up. Over 5 years. Dyson vacuum cleaners don't need bags and have lifetime washable filters, so there are no extra costs to worry about.

You'd be amazed at some of the tests Dyson carry out on their machines to make sure they're as tough and reliable as possible. During development, a push/pull rig moves Dyson vacuum cleaners a minimum of 5,740,157 feet. The hose is kinked 9,828 times. The bin is opened 1,560 times. Upright vacuum cleaners undergo 212 different validation tests, cylinders 240. That's why Dyson are so confident in their machines they guarantee all their uprights and cylinders for 5 years parts and labour.
