Dyson DC46 Turbinehead and DC51 Animal: Smaller and mightier vacuums

The Dyson DC46 Turbinehead and DC51 Animal aren’t conventionally-sized vacuums but they can suck out those dust bunnies you probably didn’t know you had. The smaller sizes mean the technology inside has been reengineered and made better to suit the frame. And what are some of the new technologies you can expect?

• Two Tier Radial Cyclone technology that lets you capture the tinier, more microscopic dust
• Ball technology that features over 100 components inside the ball to make it easier to move in tight spaces
• Patented carbon fiber brush bar that takes out the fine dust by getting rid of the static you generate from vacuuming back and forth

The DC46 Turbinehead ($549.99) is the first cylinder vacuum with the Two Tier Radial Cyclone technology and its low center of gravity makes it easier to get around furniture. Meanwhile, the DC51 Animal ($549.99) performs much like a full-sized upright vacuum. It is mounted on a ball for maneuverability, its self-adjusting cleaner head maintains continuous suction, and it works on any floor type.
