Excellent cleaning performance on all surfaces.
The second filter is located inside the ball itself.To access it, you’ll need to lie the vacuum on its back and unscrew the side of the ball.
The filter is actually two parts – a foam ring and an outer shell – and you should separate these to wash separately.Again, you can rinse the filter with cold water, but.squeeze dry this filter.. As a general rule, Dyson recommends cleaning both filters on the Ball Animal 2 at least once each month.. You should always allow the filters to try for at least 24 hours before you put them back into the vacuum cleaner.
A wet filter will clog faster, may allow bacteria to grow, and risks water being sucked into the vacuum’s motor..Both the filters on the Dyson Ball Animal 2 are washable, but this may not be the case for other models.
Make sure you check the manual before washing a filter.. Don’t Overfill the Dust Canister!.
Dyson vacuums are designed not to lose suction as the canister fills up.As dust and other debris is pushed to the edge of the canister due to centrifugal force, it falls out of the airflow and is collected in the bin.. We’ll discuss the details of how a cyclonic vacuum works in the next sections, but there are two key features of this type of vacuum design:.
By using the centrifugal force of spinning air to collect dirt and dust, cyclonic vacuums don’t need a bag to act as a filter.. As air doesn’t need to pass through collected debris, a cyclonic vacuum (theoretically) doesn’t lose power as the bin gets full..Cyclonic vacuums are not the same as bagless vacuums.
While all cyclonic vacs have a bagless design, not all bagless vacuums have cyclones (although many do.).When Were the First Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaners Developed?.
