Dyson D15

Unlike most vacuums the Dyson DC15 upright vacuum has a large yellow ball that allows the unit to pivot and roll with ease rather than wheels found on normal uprights.  With the DC15, the user simply turns his wrist and the entire unit will change directions.  The ability to maneuver easily is something most commonly associated with canister style cleaners.

In addition to the ball design this unit also offers an interesting filtration system.  Dyson vacuums don't use filters in the same manner that most cleaners do.

With this model the air and dirt are sucked into the container where the outer cyclone removes larger particles.  The air then moves into the shroud and inner cyclone where it is rotated with a higher velocity to remove fine particles of dust out of the air.

Next the air moves through a washable foam pre filter where most of the particles remain trapped.  This helps the Dyson DC15 to keep dirt and debris trapped and away from the motor.

Finally after moving through the motor the air goes through the HEPA filter.  This filter system prevents 99.9% of bacteria and mold from getting into the home.  The unit sucks it up and keeps it trapped inside the vacuum where it belongs.

While these units aren't well known, they have been around for many years.  They aren't as popular or well known as larger companies like Hoover but they offer great quality and performance with their vacuums.  Dyson constantly works to improve on their products and their competitions with each product they release.

The DC15 is a great vacuum and it is the first and only unit to feature the unique ball.  While robotic cleaners are becoming the most popular types of cleaners the DC15 is ideal for those who want a traditional cleaner with a twist.

The DC15 is also known for its suction power and attachments.  The ball assembly makes using attachments a breeze.  The only problem is getting used to the differences of the unit.

The attachment wand is stored inside of the handle and is always attached.  To use this feature you lock the handle in the upright position and push a button on the front of the handle that allows use of the wand.
