Dyson Big Ball™ vacuum - Technology

Picks up microscopic dust. And itself.

Self-righting technology.

Dyson Big Ball™ vacuums are monostatic – they have a single, stable resting point. By assembling the vacuum’s components in a spherical array, with the heaviest near the floor, our engineers created a curved body with a low center of gravity. It’s naturally stable, but if it gets knocked over, gravitational force automatically self-rights it. And its spherical shape means it turns easily on a point, so it's highly maneuverable.

Radial Root Cyclone™ technology.

19 compact cyclones arranged over two tiers generate powerful centrifugal forces, to capture microscopic dust and dirt particles. The radial formation channels airflow through the center of the cyclone assembly to maximize suction.

Hygienic bin emptying system.

The stainless steel shroud is chemically etched with 19,000 holes, each measuring 450 microns x 450 microns. This creates a smooth surface for the silicon shroud-wiping collar to slide down, driving out trapped dust and debris.

Carbon fiber turbine tool.

The air-powered cleaner head’s 1,644,000 carbon fiber filaments dissipate static charge to remove fine dust from hard floors. And 6,124 stiff nylon bristles drive deep into carpet to remove ground-in dirt.

The Dyson difference

The lengths we go to

mm control on the center of gravity, so the vacuum always rights itself
AW of suction power
Compact cyclones tolerance during chemical etching of the bin shroud

"The mass has to be significantly below the center point of a sphere it to make sure it always self-rights. We strove to keep that center of gravity all the way through development, by testing it on hard floors and sand"
