What is Dyson in the first place?

British electrical equipment manufacturer Dyson was founded in 1993 by product designer James Dyson. In 1978, dissatisfied with the fact that the suction power of the vacuum cleaner he had been using for a long time quickly decreased, James saw a cyclone device in a sawmill that separates wood chips and air, and turned it into a vacuum cleaner. I was inspired by the idea that it could also be applied.

After five years and 5127 prototypes, he succeeded in inventing a cyclone vacuum cleaner. Actually, it was Japan, not the home country, that first accepted this new type of vacuum cleaner "G-Force", and although it was an expensive price of about 200,000 yen per unit, it won the award at the 1991 international industrial design trade fair. doing.

James Dyson established Dyson in 1993 based on the sales of "G-Force". The first in-house cyclone vacuum cleaner "DC01" (DC stands for "dual cyclone") became the UK's best-selling vacuum cleaner just one and a half years after its release, and "the only vacuum cleaner with the same suction power". The catch phrase continued to permeate as a word that conveys the characteristics of Dyson vacuum cleaners. Dyson, which started out as a vacuum cleaner, now offers a wide range of products, from bladeless fans that also have an air purifying function to hair care appliances that style hair with powerful wind and moderate heat.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"Before the cyclone type was introduced, vacuum cleaners were so-called filter type vacuum cleaners in which a paper pack was caught between suction and exhaust. What appeared there was to swirl the air sucked together with dust and centrifuge it. Dyson's cyclone vacuum cleaner that removes dust with a clean air and puts it out with clean air. The attempt was very epoch-making. The cyclone type is not so powerful, but the suction power lasts forever.

Many Japanese manufacturers followed Dyson, but it took some time before they realized that dust shouldn't pass through, and for a while, most of them were "what a cyclone." Only Sharp was able to create the correct cyclone formula from the beginning.

In the last five years or so, each manufacturer has understood the meaning of cyclones, and now the correct cyclone vacuum cleaners are available. That said, Dyson has been steadily researching since the 1970s and 1980s, so to speak, it is the guru and ancestor of all cyclone vacuum cleaners. "(Mr. Toida)

What are the features and functions common to Dyson vacuum cleaners?

The cyclone vacuum cleaner has three features. "The suction power does not drop forever" "The exhaust is cleaner than the air in the room" "The labor and cost of replacing the paper pack is not required".

Especially supporting the first two points is the powerful "Dyson his digital motor". It has been 26 years since the first Dyson vacuum cleaner "DC01". Various parts have evolved in its history, but the most important evolution is the motor part. The latest version "Dyson Digital Motor V11" separates air and dust at a high speed of 125,000 times per minute. It captures 99.97% of fine particles as small as 0.3 microns and exhausts air that is cleaner than room air.

Also, because it is a cyclone type, it does not use a paper pack, and the cost and effort of replacement is not required. Since the method is to collect garbage in the clear bin and throw it away at once, your hands will not get dirty. Dyson's maintainability is highly evaluated.

In addition, the "soft roller cleaner head" that combines nylon felt that catches large dust and carbon fiber brush that removes fine dust, and hair that has entered the carpet with two brushes, a hard nylon brush and a soft carbon fiber brush. The variety of elaborate heads and attached tools, such as the "direct drive cleaner head" that scrapes off, is also a common feature of Dyson vacuum cleaners.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"The advantages of cyclone vacuum cleaners are the three points mentioned above. Nowadays, there is no big difference between manufacturers, and the biggest reason for choosing Dyson is trust in the brand power that developed the cyclone type.

In fact, many Dyson products are not very suitable for Japanese people because of the length of the pipe. It is easy to use for men with a good physique, but it was said that it is a little difficult for small women to handle other than the V8 Slim released in August of this year. Also, since the Dyson vacuum cleaner fits the soil foot culture, even if it is strong against gravel and large soil dust, 70% of the dust is cotton dust, so you may feel that suction power is not necessary in Japan with bare foot culture. ..

Even so, Dyson vacuum cleaners are a type of product that satisfies the stylish design, its advanced points, and high brand power. The satisfaction of owning a Dyson vacuum cleaner is very high. "(Mr. Toida)

Check Dyson vacuum cleaners by type!

Currently, the mainstream Dyson vacuum cleaners are cordless (stick) vacuum cleaners, but in addition to this, handy, canister, and robot models are on sale. Let's check each feature and what kind of needs it is recommended for.

・ Cordless (stick vacuum cleaner)

→ Can be used for almighty!If you get lost, choose this

Stick vacuum cleaners are representative of Dyson. Equipped with a lithium-ion battery, it is free from long and disturbing power cords. Furthermore, because the switch is a trigger type, it is also a feature that the battery can be used efficiently.

In Dyson vacuum cleaners, each series is named according to the model number of the installed "Dyson Digital Motor". It is numbered as "V ○○" such as "Dyson Digital Motor V11", and the larger the number, the higher the version. A conical cone (cyclone) arranged concentrically with this powerful motor creates a strong centrifugal force, separates dust and dirt from the air, and sends it to the clear bin. The stick vacuum cleaner can also be used as a handy type by removing the pipe, and it also has abundant accessory parts, making it useful for almighty.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"Even with a stick vacuum cleaner, if you replace the parts, it will be handy, so if you have a reasonable budget, I think that a stick is better. Considering that it can be as versatile as possible and cover a wide range, it is the most recommended. That's right. "(Mr. Toida)

·handy

→ Suitable for people with limited range of use such as cars and futons

The handy type, which is light and has a small turning radius, has powerful suction power and is effective for cleaning the inside of a car where a large vacuum cleaner does not fit, or the futon that you want to use casually every day. Basically, the specification is that the pipe is removed from the cordless "V7" series, so the motor will be the "Dyson Digital Motor V7" that rotates up to 110,000 rpm. Power is with origami in the handy genre. The point is that the price is cheaper because there is no pipe.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"Handy is also recommended if the purpose of use is clear, such as for in-vehicle use, futon use, and around the desk. The budget can be reduced to some extent. If you want to carefully clean other than the floor, you should consider it as an option." Mr. Toida)

・ Canister

→ For people who want to clean up for an unlimited amount of time

A canister vacuum cleaner that has wheels on the body and sucks while pulling and moving. It has been reigning for many years as a synonym for vacuum cleaners. So far, Dyson has released many canister vacuum cleaners. Its features are the powerful suction power of the cyclone, and the round body designed to easily avoid furniture and obstacles. The latest "Dyson V4 Digital" is also equipped with a self-writing function, which is stable due to gravity even if the balance is lost, and automatically rises, further improving maneuverability.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"The canister has a cord so you don't have to worry about running out of charge. It's for people who want to do cleaning for an unlimited amount of time. However, cleaning while dragging the vacuum cleaner itself is now a clear disadvantage. The house is quite large, If it takes about 2 hours to clean all at once, is it a canister?

By the way, Dyson founder and chief engineer James Dyson declared in March 2018 that he had "stopped the development of the canister." There are still current products, but they are heading towards convergence. That's a proof of confidence in cordlessness. The industry was quite noisy when the canister era was over. "(Mr. Toida)

·robot

→ For people who do not want to spend time and effort cleaning

Dyson also sells robot vacuum cleaners. The current "Dyson 360 Heurist" is equipped with the "Dyson His Digital Motor V2" that rotates up to 78,000 rpm and the cyclone "Radial Root Cyclone" by utilizing the Dyson technology cultivated in the development of vacuum cleaners. It boasts four times the suction power of other robot vacuum cleaners. It also has a map learning function that records the shape of the room while cleaning.

● Commentary by Mr. Toida, a professional home appliance

"With Roomba, the robot vacuum cleaner is for people who do not want to spend time cleaning. However, it seems that Dyson recommends using it with a stick. The robot covers a large area to the last. I want you to clean the small parts with handy or cordless. The idea of ​​the manufacturer is different from that of Roomba, which leaves everything to you. "(Mr. Toida)

Four points to keep in mind when purchasing a Dyson vacuum cleaner, as talked about by home appliance professionals

Now, let's check the four items that you should be aware of when actually buying a Dyson vacuum cleaner, especially a cordless vacuum cleaner.

This time, Mr. Toida mentioned "handling," "use (attached tool)," "continuous use time," and "garbage disposal." Let's look at these four items in order.

1. Handling

Dyson vacuum cleaners are often said to be "heavy" and "large" in terms of usability. In particular, the cordless type may be carried along with the motor, and considering that it is used by small Japanese in a small Japanese house, "handling" is the most important point.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"Before purchasing a vacuum cleaner, many people are concerned about the performance of the battery and the numerical value of the suction power, but when actually using it, those who realize that ease of cleaning and handling are more important. The majority of Japanese houses have small spaces and narrow stairs, so even if they have power, large vacuum cleaners are not suitable. Dyson vacuum cleaners tend to be large and heavy, so those with a small physique should handle them. Consider the improved V8 Slim. The length of the pipe has been shortened, and the head has also been made smaller and lighter. "(Mr. Toida)

2. Applications (attached tools)

A variety of attached tools are also one of the features of Dyson vacuum cleaners. A "combination nozzle" with a brush at the tip that can scrape out dust in narrow places, a "mini motor head" that is small but can easily remove hair entwined with a carpet, and a felt material inside the brush for delicate parts such as TV monitors "Mini soft brush" that can also be cleaned. You can clean efficiently by using these properly according to the purpose. Even if the basic specifications of the main unit are the same, they are sold as different sets such as "V11 Absolute", "V11 Absolute pro" and "V11 Fluffy" depending on the contents of the attached tools. If you want any of the included tools, make sure they are included in the set before purchasing.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"Among the tools that come with Dyson, the combination nozzle and mini motor head are all-purpose, and it is no exaggeration to say that cleaning can be done with these two. These two are included in every set. Other than that. If you want special parts, check the contents of the set. For example, the mini soft brush is ideal for cleaning small parts such as PCs. The handy hard brush is suitable for cleaning dirt dust in the car or at the entrance. I'm doing it "(Mr. Toida)

3. Continuous use time

What you want to check with cordless or handy is the continuous battery usage time. The V7 series can be used for up to 30 minutes, and the premium model V11 series can be used for up to 60 minutes (* when using the attached tool that is not driven by a motor in eco mode). Battery life is also an indicator of the evolution of cordless vacuum cleaners.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"When choosing a Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner, you don't have to be so nervous about continuous use time, because the Dyson vacuum cleaner has a trigger switch. If the switch is a slide type, it will turn on. While it is running, it runs all the time and consumes the battery, but if it is a trigger type, it will stop automatically when you release it. Cleaning time = working time, so in my experience it is up to 30 minutes. But the battery has never run out during cleaning.

However, it is also true that the longer the battery lasts, the more secure it is, so if you are worried, you may consider it. By the way, the latest model V11 shows the remaining operating time of the battery, so I'm really worried about the battery! It is recommended for people who say "(Mr. Toida)

4. Garbage disposal

For V7 and later motors, when the red lever at the top of the cyclone is operated, the bottom of the clear bin opens while scraping off the dust adhering to the shroud (the mesh part at the bottom of the cyclone) with a rubber scraper. The collected trash can be thrown into the trash can as it is, so your hands will not get dirty.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"Actually, V7 and V8 can dispose of garbage without pulling out the pipe. On the contrary, V10 and V11 can not dispose of garbage without pulling out the pipe, which is a little troublesome. However, V10 and V11 Since the clear bin part is thrown into the garbage bag and thrown away, it is difficult for dust to scatter. If you have pollinosis or are concerned about house dust, please consider V10 and V11. "(Mr. Toida) )

Introducing all the Dyson vacuum cleaners you can buy now!

■ Cordless (stick vacuum cleaner)

[Part 1]

Dyson V11 series

The highest peak model released in April 2019. Equipped with a liquid crystal display at hand, it displays the operating status, maintenance notification, and remaining battery time (in seconds). "Dyson Digital Motor V11" has 25% more suction power than "V10". Driving noise has also been reduced by 11%. Models in the series include the "Dyson V11 Fluffy" with 7 accessory tools such as a soft roller cleaner head, and the 8 accessory tools "Dyson V11" with a self-supporting charging dog that does not need to puncture the wall. There are four models: "Fluffy +", "Dyson V11 Absolute" with a direct drive cleaner head, and "Dyson V11 Absolute pro" with all the futon tools.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"The Dyson vacuum cleaner changed the most when it was V10. In V10, the air flow was straightened from suction to exhaust, and the air resistance was reduced. Thanks to that, the suction power was further increased. Basically The V11 inherits the same structure. On top of that, the V11 has a display at hand and gives various information such as the remaining operating time of the battery. The cordless vacuum cleaner says, "Charging on the way. It's surprisingly stressful to worry that it may run out ... ”V11 has a fairly accurate remaining time, so try to stop the“ strong ”mode once, or conversely, because there is still charging, it is powerfully“ strong ”. I think it's really nice to be able to make such a decision, such as going in mode. After that, the driving sound is also V11 and it is quite quiet. Also, it is an attached tool, but I can not make a hole in the wall The charging stand "Cordless Cleaner Dedicated Charging Dock" is convenient, isn't it?

V11 is recommended for those who are worried about cordlessness and are worried about the time limit. If you don't care about that at all, I don't think there is any problem with V10. "(Mr. Toida)

[Part 2]

Dyson Cyclone V10 Fluffy

Only one cordless model currently on the market is equipped with the "Dyson Digital Motor V10". The Dyson Cyclone Fluffy is a model released in March 2018. By arranging 14 cyclones concentrically around the main body, the air flow becomes a straight line, and it is a product that has evolved to pass through the main body more efficiently. The battery has increased from 6 cells in V8 to 7 cells, and the operating time is up to about 60 minutes, which is the longest in Dyson history. Seven accessory tools such as a soft roller cleaner head, mini motor head, and combination nozzle are included.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"It is true that the performance of the motor of the V10 is slightly lower than that of the V11, but other than that, the operating time is 60 minutes and the performance of the head does not change. The difference between the V11 and V10 is that the indicator attached to the main body is large. The V10 is more affordable, so it's suitable for people who want to get high-quality performance a little easier. The position is that the V10 is a high-end model and the V11 is a premium model.

Dyson V8 Slim series

A slim model developed for Japan and released in August 2019. Equipped with a "Dyson Digital Motor V8" that rotates 107,000 rpm, the operating time is up to 40 minutes. It is equipped with a new slim soft roller cleaner head that is 40% smaller and lighter than the "Dyson V8 Fluffy" released in 2016. The performance is slightly lower than that of the "Dyson Digital Motor V11" at 125,000 rpm, but its small size makes it easy to handle, and its operability is easy to turn.

The standard set is "Dyson V8 Slim Fluffy" with 4 attached tools. The "Dyson V8 Slim Fluffy +" is a model of 7 attached tools that illuminate there with an LED light and add an "LED gap nozzle" that is convenient for cleaning dark narrow gaps and hard-to-reach places.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"It's small and light! Moreover, the suction power is outstanding in the lightweight cordless class. It is attractive that it was developed to match Japanese homes by downsizing while making the best use of Dyson's technology. It feels like you're holding it in your hand, it's as light as a domestic lightweight model, and the length of the pipe is shorter. I would like to recommend it. It is easy to use even for children. With the introduction of V8 Slim, I think that the number of Dyson fans will increase even more in Japan. "(Mr. Toida)

Dyson V7 series

A standard model released in 2017 that has the best of both worlds, the entry model "V6" series and the high-end model "V8" series at that time. The price is reasonable while the functionality is comparable to the "V8" series. There are two models in the series, the "Dyson V7" with 4 attached tools and the "Dyson V7 Fluffy" with 5 attached tools.

Apart from the above models, "Dyson V7 Slim" has also appeared in March 2019. It uses a compact motor head and shorter pipes.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"When it first came out, the V7 was for sale because it was compact and light, but with the development of the V8 Slim, that advantage was lost. However, it was reasonably priced and had a sense of size. Because it is so small, I think it is still positioned as an introductory machine for Dyson.

Just as the cheapest model of Roomba is popular as a popular machine, Dyson can also say that this V7 is a popular machine. The price of V7 Slim, which is in the 30,000 yen range, is cheap, isn't it? Recommended for those who want to have Dyson on a small budget. "

● Mr. Toida's advice

"There are four handy models currently on sale at the official store, but the head and motor performance is the same for the V7. The V7 Mattress comes with a futon tool, but to be honest, this sticks to me. It's a little difficult to use because it's a little difficult to use. I also use a mini motor head for cleaning the futon. Because the mini motor head can also take care of the futon.

If you want to clean your car, V7 Car + Boat is recommended. There is a car charger, and you can clean the futon with a mini motor head. Furthermore, it is convenient for external use to have a mini hard brush. The car charger is also attractive in some ways, it can be charged in the car and can be used well in the house. V7 Car + Boat is a little expensive, but there are some advantages. "(Mr. Toida)

■ Canister

Dyson V4 Digital series

Canister vacuum cleaner released in 2018. At the time of V10 announcement, James Dyson declared that "we will not develop anything other than cordless in the future." If the word is correct, this will be the last canister. This series is equipped with "Dyson Digital Motor V4" and "2 Tier Radial Cyclone". Even if the balance of the main body is lost while moving, the movement is smooth with the self-writing function that is stable due to gravity. With a handle that rotates 360 °, you can clean the entire house from the floor to furniture and high places. In addition, the "Dyson Ball" series released in 2015 is also on sale now.

● Mr. Toida's advice

"It was certainly groundbreaking when the Canister Ball came out in 2015. It spins on a sphere and runs smoothly. The point is how much the canister's drag feeling can be eliminated. The philosophy is that. It is inherited by V4 Digital released in 2018. However, the digital motor is still V4. It seems that development has stopped because the cordless has already reached V11. Canisters are worried about the cordless battery It is suitable for people who want a vacuum cleaner that can operate for an unlimited amount of time. "(Mr. Toida)

Dyson 360 Heurist

Robot vacuum cleaner released in February 2019.小型・軽量でありながら、パワフルな「ダイソン デジタルモーター V2」と、最大7万Gの遠心力を生み出す「Radial Root Cyclone」でゴミを集めます。合計8個のセンサーにより、部屋中を効率よく移動します。

● Mr. Toida's advice

「ダイソンのロボット掃除機のメリットは吸引力の高さ。ワンスパンでもしっかり吸引するのでゴミの取りこぼしがありません。あとは、直径が小さくコンパクトな点も長所ですね。

また、本機が前モデルから進化したのはマッピング技術の搭載です。部屋の形を理解し、そこがダイニングであるとか、キッチンであるとかを記憶させ、『今日はダイニングを念入りに掃除する』というような設定ができます。ただし、『今日はキッチンだけの掃除でいい』といった、特定の空間だけを指定して限定的に掃除することはできません。ルンバであれば、そういった設定が可能なので、マッピング機能という点ではルンバの方が一歩リードしていますね。と、惜しいところも指摘しましたが、吸引力の高さは確かです。ロボット掃除機に吸引力を求めたい方にとって、選択肢に入ってくるモデルなのは間違いありません。」（戸井田さん）
