Other vacuums

Conventional vacuums have settings for different floors, so you would expect the cleaner head to adjust to the floor type you select. But in many cases it sits too high above the floor, resulting in suction leaks, or it is weighted to sink deep into the carpet pile, making the vacuum harder to push.

Dyson Airmuscle™

Dyson engineers spent three years developing DC28 Animal with advanced Airmuscle™ technology. It combines three technologies: a powered cam, a pneumatic actuator, and a high-torque clutch - each precisely adjusting the cleaner head to thoroughly clean every floor surface. And, like all Dyson vacuums, it doesn’t lose suction.

Leaking suction

When the brush bar raises, so does the cleaner head. Suction escapes.

Heavy cleaner heads

Other cleaner heads are weighted to bury into carpets. But it makes pushing difficult.

Focused suction

Airmuscle™ technology raises the brush bar independently of the cleaner head. No gap, no leaking suction.

Airmuscle™ technology

The cleaner head and brush bar precisely adjust to each surface, without compromising maneuverability.
