Ball™ technology

Upright vacuum cleaners 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 you can steer with ease - no more back and forth around corners and obstacles. Inside the ball is the motor, giving the machine a lower centre of gravity and improving manoeuvrability even further.
