List of Dyson products
[citation needed] In order to deal with the high speed and centrifugal forces, the impeller is made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer; the shaft is steel.
[3] The first mass-produced version was named "X020" and used in the Airblade hand dryer; the later DDM "V2" was used for Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners.
Cordless vacuum cleaners are identified by names such as "V11" or "V7" which denote the version of the appliance (the higher the model number, the greater its specification).
Some are limited editions: These machines feature a different range of tools to the usual "Multifloor" and "Animal" versions and also appear in different colours.
Some of the early Dyson models (DC01, DC02, DC04) were available in a "De Stijl" colour scheme of purple, red and yellow, in homage to the Dutch design movement of the same name.
In 1996, 100,000 recoloured DC01 and DC02 models were produced as part of a fund-raising effort for Ranulph Fiennes's solo expedition to the Antarctic.
The DC07 had a new 1400 W motor that provided 280 Airwatts, making it about the most powerful model that Dyson made, and also the noisiest in use, with much of the operating noise coming from the upwards mounted cyclone assembly.
During the DC07 production run, in 2002, Dyson switched all manufacturing of its vacuum cleaners from Malmesbury, UK to a new factory in Malaysia.
Due to its high launch price, its weight (8.6 kilograms (19 lb)), and the fact that it may have initially been seen as a gimmick, not that many DC15s were sold, with the cheaper DC14 remaining much more popular.
Like the DC07, the DC08 was fitted with an uprated motor giving it more suction power, handled by the new root 12 cyclone system the DC08 was equipped with.
This higher power output could drive the main turbo floorhead without the need for an electric motor and the expensive wiring that the DC05 motorhead had.
The DC08 had a long production run; it was upgraded to the DC08 Telescope wrap after the launch of the DC11, to enable it to be stored more efficiently, and was eventually superseded by the DC19.
The Airblade uses Dyson's Digital Motor to produce a stream of air that flows at up to 430 mph (700 km/h) and is claimed to dry the hands in 10 to 12 seconds.
The Dyson Airblade is the world's first hygienic commercial hand dryer according to NSF International; it is accredited by the British Skin Foundation and the Royal Institute of Public Health as well.
The fan works by drawing air in through an inlet in the base pillar and forcing it through an outlet in the upper ring.
Using this process, a small brushless impeller in the fan's base can power a much larger air outlet without exposing any blades.
In March 2014, the second-generation models of the Air Multiplier were acoustically re-engineered so that the "bladeless" [sic] fans were quieter than their predecessors, using improved airflow and a Helmholtz resonator to cancel a 10 kHz whine.
[41] Later, Dyson produced combination heating and cooling fans (some with HEPA filters) based on its "air multiplier" design.
In addition, some newer designs feature "Jet Focus", the ability to shift between a wide and shallow or a narrower but farther-reaching stream of air, under user control.
All AM04 models made prior to 1 April 2014 are subject to a no-charge product recall for repairs because of a fire risk.
High-end models feature automatic monitoring of indoor air quality for particulates and volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination, and reporting over Bluetooth or WiFi to a smartphone app.
[51] The lamps incorporate heat pipe technology designed to extend the life of the product, by cooling the LED emitters.
[53] On March 25, it was announced that the British government had ordered 10,000 units of The CoVent from the company, subject to passing stringent medical tests.
[54] The plan was cancelled a month later, after Dyson realized that it would be difficult for a company with no history of manufacturing ventilators to quickly obtain regulatory approval.
Equipped with miniature compressors and dual-layer filters, they capture particles and gas pollutants while providing a stream of clean air.
The headphones boast a long battery life of 50 hours for audio and include technology for clear voice calls.
The Dyson app complements the headphones by monitoring real-time air quality and noise levels, allowing users to adjust settings accordingly.
