Ball™ technology

Upright vacuums have always used fixed wheels. But wheeled vacuums are awkward to steer and can make you work a lot harder than you need to. (All that back and forth around corners and obstacles.) Ball™ technology is a new way to steer. Dyson Ball™ vacuums ride on a ball, which pivots around itself so you can instantly change direction with just a turn of the wrist.

Conventional uprights

If you look underneath conventional uprights, you’ll see they sit on four fixed wheels. They're only designed to go forward and back, making steering around corners and obstacles awkward. Back and forth, back and forth...

Ball™ technology

We’ve done away with wheels. The new Dyson upright machines ride on a ball so they turn on a dime - no more back and forth around corners and obstacles. Inside the ball is the motor, which gives the machine a lower centre of gravity and improves manoeuvrability even further.
