A precisely angled green diode casts light across hard floors, revealing twice as much invisible dust and pet dander as ambient room light.
Counts and sizes microscopic dust particles 15,000 times a second, dynamically boosting motor power when heavy dirt is detected.
Spins five times faster than a Formula One engine, generating up to 262 Air Watts of unthrottled airflow density on high-pile carpets.
Generates centrifugal forces exceeding 100,000g to fling microscopic fine dust into the bin without clogging washable filters.
Polycarbonate vanes automatically clear wrapped hair from the brush roll directly into the vacuum stream, preventing roller jams.
A fully sealed multi-stage filtration system traps 99.99% of microscopic particles and allergens down to 0.1 microns, expelling cleaner exhaust air.
James Dyson establishes the company after years developing cyclonic separation technology.
The DA 001 launches, the first product to use Dyson’s bagless dual-cyclone system.
The DC07 upright launches with Root Cyclone technology; the company shortens its name to Dyson Ltd.
Production shifts from the UK to Malaysia to scale global manufacturing.
Dyson moves its global headquarters to Singapore, closer to its manufacturing base and Asia-Pacific engineering labs.
Introduces the first consumer vacuum with acoustic piezo particle counting and green laser diode illumination.
Debuts its most powerful cordless platform with integrated hidden wand tools and whole-machine HEPA filtration certified to 0.1 microns.
Expands S$4B software and robotics research hubs, advancing lightweight battery chemistry and intelligent cleanheads.

"Dyson remains our gold standard for manual cordless stick suction, particle-level optical visibility, and weight distribution. From the featherweight 2.2 kg V12 Slim to the immense 262 AW Gen5detect, their cyclone filtration completely prevents suction loss as bins fill."
Dyson upright and canister vacuums come with a 5-year limited warranty; cordless stick vacuums, purifiers, and hair care products include a 2-year limited warranty covering original defects in materials and workmanship.
Dyson recommends washing lifetime washable filters at least once a month with cold water only (no soap). The filter must be allowed to dry completely for at least 24 hours before reattaching.
Models equipped with the Fluffy Optic cleaner head (such as the Gen5detect, V15 Detect, and V12 Detect Slim) are the best for hardwood. The soft woven nylon roller protects delicate wood finishes while the green laser diode reveals microscopic dust.
Yes, Dyson maintains direct distribution of replacement brushbars, click-in batteries, HEPA filters, and wand extensions through their official store and authorized retailers.
