DYSON TECHNOLOGY

No ordinary cyclone.

Dyson Cyclone™ technology was invented by James Dyson, thirty years ago. Ever since, Dyson engineers have been improving it, making it work better and better. As they invent, they patent - protecting their efforts from copycat manufacturers. To date, they have filed 820 patents. Other technology might look like Dyson technology, but it doesnt work like it.

Why bags clog and lose suction.Vacuum bags are designed to trap the dust and dirt while letting the air out through millions of tiny holes. What actually happens is the holes clog with dirt instead, choking airflow and causing the vacuum to lose suction power.

Why Root Cyclone™ technology doesn’t.

Dyson technology doesn’t rely on a bag. Instead it spins the air incredibly fast - so fast that the dust and dirt is flung out into the clear bin™. A Dyson vacuum cleaner doesn’t lose suction.

Ball™ technology

The idea for Ball™ technology came about from an engineer studying new ways to steer. It started crudely - an old wand handle attached to a wheel. Eventually the wheel became a ball - and an ideal home for the motor.

Conventional uprights
If you look underneath conventional uprights, youll see they sit on four fixed wheels. They’re only designed to go forward and back - making steering around corners and obstacles awkward. Push, pull, push, pull …

Ball™ technology
We’ve done away with wheels. The new Dyson upright machines ride on a ball so you can steer with ease - no more push/pull around corners and obstacles. Inside the ball is the motor, giving the machine a lower centre of gravity and improving manoeuvrability even further.

Carbon Free

Conventional electric motors haven’t changed much in 100 years. Bulky and fragile. The brushes wear down and emit carbon dust.

The Dyson digital motor works differently.

Controlled by microchip it spins at 98,000 rpm – five-times faster than a Formula 1 car engine. Because of its speed, the digital motor is half the size and half the weight of conventional motors. With no brushes or fixed magnets, it doesn’t emit carbon either.

MIELE TRIUMPHS FOR SECOND TIME AT WHICH? AWARDS 2008 Date of release: 16/07/2008

Premium domestic appliance brand, Miele has triumphed at the Which? Awards 2008 by winning the ‘Best Domestic Appliance Brand’ category for the second year running. The win comes after scoring more Best Buys than any other brand across ten domestic appliance groups.

“Only the very best companies out of the hundreds whose products and services are tested by Which? make the grade and the winners are determined by Which? experts to be the very best of the best,” said Which?

Miele’s score was unmatched, with a total of 22 Best Buys from ten of the categories its products were tested in. The brand was Best on Test in seven categories including dishwashers, freezers, fridge-freezers, washing machines, washer-dryers, tumble dryers, and vacuum cleaners.

Miele was one of only two companies to retain the award they won at the inaugural awards in 2007.

In a recommendation survey of Which? members, Miele had a ‘clean sweep’ of top scores across every category it appeared in and a reliability survey found that Miele washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and cylinder vacuum cleaners achieved the highest reliability scores – with vacuum cleaners scoring an impressive 97 percent.

“We are absolutely delighted to have won the award for a second year. The award celebrates the quality and innovation which is at the heart of every product Miele develops and our products are built to give the best results and last the test of time. It’s a huge honour to be recognised again for something we pride ourselves on,” stated Simon Grantham, Miele Chief Executive.

The prestigious award ceremony was held at the British Museum and was hosted by TV newsreader Dermot Murnaghan. Guest appearances from Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, racing legend Sir Stirling Moss OBE and celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal OBE added to the excitement and atmosphere on the day.
