The very first Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented in 1978 when an engineer became frustrated with his vacuum’s diminishing performance. When he took his cleaning device apart, he discovered that the filter in the bag was clogged with dust and dirt. Five years and 5,127 prototypes later, Engineer James Dyson launched the solution to his problem: bagless cyclone vacuum cleaner.
James Dyson, now with an army of 3,000 engineers, never stopped inventing and improving his products. Three decades later, Dyson offers a portable and cordless vacuum cleaner that sucks even the tiniest particles invisible to the human eye without leaving a scratch behind.
The new Dyson Fluffy DC74 captures large particles, such as crumbs and cereals, and engulfs fine dust, like dead skin cells, dust mites, pollen and mold spores. And in the vacuuming process, the Fluffy promises not to damage the hard floors in your home thanks to its soft, full-width roller head that is covered in soft woven nylon with strips of anti-static carbon fiber filaments.
Despite its fluffy appearance, the power lies in its digital motor V6 that spins up to 120,000 rpm (revolutions per minute) – or five times faster than an F1 car engine – to generate powerful suction that can last up to 20 minutes. The equally powerful 15 two-tier Radial cyclones working in parallel are responsible for sucking microscopic particles and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. These harmful allergens, which we can inhale, cause skin and respiratory problems.
With a flick of the wrist switch and with the help of eight additional tools, the Dyson Fluffy can also clean ceilings and hard-to-reach areas in the house. The motorized turbine head glides up the stairs, the flexible crevice tool reaches narrow spaces behind furniture, the soft dusting brush sweeps up dust on blinds, and the stubborn dirt brush takes care of the hardest of grimes.
Notwithstanding the competition, Whiteplanet Inc. director for communications Bobby Yan says, “Not all vacuums can say they only weigh three pounds and are as powerful [as Dyson Fluffy].” Whiteplanet Inc. is the exclusive distributor of Dyson vacuum cleaners and bladeless fans here in the Philippines.
Dyson, a premium vacuum brand, has been available in the country for two years.
“When we started selling at Rustan’s, we were at the 23rd spot. Now we’re up to 1 or 2,” discloses Yan.
