The Dyson DC50 Allergy has advanced cleaner head technology. It includes a self-adjusting base plate for optimal contact on every floor type, a brush bar with anti-static carbon fiber bristles to remove fine dust from hard floors and stiff nylon bristles to remove ground-in dirt from carpets. Like all Dyson vacuums, DC50 Allergy has no bag, so theres no loss of suction. Instead, patented cyclone technology spins dust and dirt from the air. With 2 Tier Radialâ„¢ cyclones, DC50 Allergy has 19 cyclones that work in parallel across two tiers to increase airflow and capture more microscopic dust from the home. Unlike ordinary upright vacuum cleaners, DC50 Allergy rides on a ball. It turns on the spot, steering easily around furniture and into difficult places
