DC41 Animal is a Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaner for powerful all-around dirt and pet hair removal. The machine’s cleaner head has an active base plate which self-adjusts automatically for optimal contact with all floor types. On hard floors the base plate lowers to create an efficient seal and the brush bar lifts clear off the floor to protect delicate surfaces. On carpet the base plate rises and the brush bar lowers for optimum bristle penetration – removing ground-in dirt and pet hair from different depths of carpet pile. And because the cleaner head adjusts automatically there are no dials and you don’t need to bend down to make adjustments. Dyson cyclones capture more dirt than any other cyclone. DC41 Animal has Radial Root Cyclone technology with remodeled airflows to maximize suction power. It also comes with a Mini turbine head to clean pet hair and dirt from confined spaces upholstery stairs and the car. DC41 Animal also has patented Ball technology. It turns on the spot which allows you to manoeuvre more easily around obstacles and into awkward spaces. And because the motor and other key technologies are located in the ball there are fewer components on the outside of the machine. This makes it easier to steer closer to edges.
