Vacuum cleaners aren’t the first thing you think of when you have a couple of hundred euro burning a hole in your pocket, but unless you fancy sharing living space with dust mites, they’re essential.

Dyson has been doing a good job in creating bagless vacuum cleaners for some time, and the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball is the latest. Not only does it solve some of the issues with the previous cleaners – the bin is bigger and self-cleaning – but it is also self-righting. No more fighting with the cylinder if you get a bit too enthusiastic and pull it over.

The device doesn’t have any maintenance on the filter, like the last Cinetic machine, and the wand and articulated handle have also been tweaked to make them easier to use. dyson.ie
