Dyson DC 40 Animal

The Dyson DC40 Multi-Floor is one of the more recent Dyson upright vacuum cleaners. It uses Dyson’s latest version of radial root cyclone technology which provides better airflow, and it has updated Dyson Ball Technology. The Ball Technology now has...

The DC40 has new technology, but performance isn't enough to warrant $500 price tag.

I was somewhat apprehensive about buying an expensive vacuum but this Dyson seems to be worth the money. I like how easy it is to switch from having the brushes on or off when vacuuming carpets and wood floors. The telescoping hose is great and it...
