As with other Dyson cleaners, the DC15 has Root8Cyclone technology, which picks up large volumes of dust, and it's equipped with a lifetime HEPA post-motor filter with Bactisafe screen traps that retain the highest level of microscopic particles and kill bacteria.

In addition, the DC15 Animal has a mini turbine head for picking up pet hair from confined spaces such as upholstery, stairs and the car. Suitable for all floors, the DC15 has a large debris channel to pick up bigger particles, brush control, which turns off the brush bar at the touch of a button, and a quick-release wand for reaching higher areas.
