A New Spin On Vacuuming: It’s No Longer Such A Chore (NAPSA)—Sometimes it’s the small conveniences in life that make real difference. Remember driving a car before power steering? Or how about navigating your computer screen without the aid of a mouse? Too often we take for granted the thousandsof ingenious inventions that have made life easier by workingbetter. James Dyson’s latest invention, DC15 The Ball”, is a vacuum cleaner that changes the way we vacuum. Dyson replaced the traditional wheels on the base of the machine with a ball, making it much more maneuverable. Changing direction with traditional upright vacuum cleaners involves several push-pull maneuvers or requires walking around to direct the machine. This extra movement can be strenuous and is one of the reasons people so dislike vacuuming. The Ball” technology allows you to twist and turn more easily around furniture and lowlying obstacles while vacuuming. DC15 The Ball”, which took over three years to develop and has 182 unique patents, is considered one of the few major changes in the design of the upright vacuum in more than 100 years. And like all Dyson vacuum cleaners, it uses Root8Cyclone technology to spin the dust and dirt out of the air, so it doesn’t lose suction. How It Works DC15 has a pivot point between the body of the machine and the A new vacuum using a patented technology makes it easier to maneuver around a room. cleaning head, which means it maintains constant contact with the floor. When steering around furniture, it gracefully glides into spaces that other vacuums miss. The motor is placed inside the ball at the base of the machine, keeping the center of gravity close to the ground for maximum stability. DC15 moves in a totally different way, turning a corner is as simple as the turn of the wrist. “We’ve spent many years trying to make vacuum cleaners better and better,” said James Dyson. “We have developed cleaners that don’t lose suction, changing the way vacuum’s vacuum, and now we’ve made one that’s easier to maneuver. DC15 The Ball” vacuum is in stores nationwide now. To learn more, visit www.dyson.com.
