Dyson DC40 Animal lightweight Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaner for pet owners
Technical details:
- Patented Radial Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction. DC40 Animal captures allergens and expels cleaner air. Dyson cyclones can capture particles down to 0.5 microns – including pollen, mould and bacteria.
- High suction power at the cleaner head. The cleaner head self-adjusts for optimal contact – even on hard floors.

DC40 Animal is a lightweight Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaner for powerful all-round dirt and pet hair removal.
The machine’s cleaner head has an active base plate, which self-adjusts automatically for optimal contact with all floor types. On hard floors the base plate lowers to create an efficient seal, and the brush bar lifts clear of the floor to protect delicate surfaces. On carpet the base plate rises and the brush bar lowers for optimum bristle penetration – removing ground-in dirt and pet hair from different depths of carpet pile. And because the cleaner head adjusts automatically, there are no fiddly dials and you don’t need to bend down to make adjustments.
Dyson cyclones capture more dirt than any other cyclone. DC40 Animal has Radial Root Cyclone technology with remodelled airflows to maximise suction power. It also comes with a Mini turbine head to clean pet hair and dirt from confined spaces, upholstery, stairs and the car.
DC40 Animal also has patented Ball technology. The machine turns on the spot, which allows you to manoeuvre more easily around obstacles and into awkward spaces. And because the motor and other key components are located in the ball, the machine has a lower centre of gravity – making it even easier to steer.
Patented Dyson technology
Dyson engineers are constantly testing and inventing, trying to find new ways to make their technology work better. As they work, they file patent applications to protect their inventions from copycat manufacturers. That’s why the only place you’ll find Dyson technology is inside a Dyson machine.
DC40 Animal uses the following patented Dyson technologies:
New Radial Root Cyclone technology
Ordinary vacuum cleaners rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. As you use them, the tiny holes in the bag clog up with particles of dust. This restricts the flow of air, so the vacuum cleaner loses suction.
Dyson vacuum cleaners don’t rely on bags to trap dust and dirt. They use cyclone technology, which spins the air at incredibly high speeds. The cyclones inside a Dyson vacuum cleaner generate centrifugal forces many thousands of times the force of gravity. Dust, dirt and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the bin. No bag. No loss of suction.
Dyson has been continually refining cyclone vacuum technology since inventing it more than 20 years ago. DC40 Animal has new Radial Root Cyclone technology. Reconfigured air channels and improved flow efficiency reduce turbulence and preserve air pressure, so that the inner cyclones can extract more microscopic particles. These refinements help remove more dirt, dust, allergens and pet hair from the airflow.
Ball technology to help you steer with ease
Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaners use patented Ball technology to overcome the steering limitations of fixed wheels. They ride on a ball, which turns on the spot so you can steer with ease, changing direction with just a turn of the wrist.
The ball itself is made of glass-reinforced polypropylene – the same material used in the manufacture of car dashboards. It combines high impact strength with resistance to distortion. The ball also holds the heaviest component (the motor) – positioned towards the base for a lower centre of gravity and greater stability.
DC40 Animal includes:
Self-adjusting cleaner head
Many upright vacuum cleaners use fixed settings and their cleaner heads don’t self-adjust to different floor types. And the bigger the gap between cleaner head and floor, the more suction power is wasted.
DC40 Animal has an active base plate. It creates the optimal cleaner head contact for every floor type, reducing air leaks and retaining suction power on all floor types – carpet, tile, vinyl and wood.
Mini turbine head to remove pet hair from awkward spaces
Pet hair can gather in awkward spaces and stick to upholstery. The Mini turbine head attaches to the machine’s wand to remove hair from confined spaces that would otherwise be hard to reach.
Instant release wand
DC40 Animal has an instant release, long-reach wand for cleaning stairs and awkward areas – it stretches up to 5 times in length. There are no separate parts to assemble.
Extra tools
DC40 Animal comes with a Combination tool and a Stair tool. The Combination tool has a debris nozzle that converts to a brush tool for dusting. The Stair tool removes dirt and dust from corners and against vertical edges of stairs.
Captures allergens, expels cleaner air
Dyson cyclones capture microscopic particles down to 0.5 microns in size, including pollen, mould and bacteria.
Clear bin lets you see when it needs emptying
The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying – and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your new Dyson machine has picked up.
No extra costs
Other vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement bags and filters – and the cost soon adds up. Over 5 years, you could end up having to spend £175. Dyson vacuums don’t have bags and have lifetime washable filters, so there are no extra costs to worry about.
5 year parts and labour guarantee
Your Dyson vacuum cleaner is likely to take a few knocks and bashes during everyday use – but that’s nothing compared to what Dyson puts its machines through during testing and development. All Dyson vacuum cleaners undergo a lengthy and rigorous testing programme. That’s why DC40 Animal comes with a free 5 year guarantee – parts and labour.

The Dyson Animal DC40 is part of the new range of Dysons for 2012 and seems to be a direct replacement for the Animal DC25 which has now gone end of life.
The DC40 still has the amazing suction power and the brush bar which does an excellent job of picking up animal hair from carpet. This is also the ball version and if you've read other reviews of how the ball technology works then you'll already know that most people think these machines are much easier to maneuver than the standard fixed wheel variety. Dyson has built on this for the DC40 by making it much lighter than the DC25, at 6.7Kg rather than 7.4Kg this machine really is easy to use and move around.
Other than that the stats are fairly similar, although one of the big complaints on the DC25 was the small bin capacity (1.3 litres) and this has been increased to 1.6 litres in this version, which really does make a difference when the Dyson suction is so good that it's picking up every bit of dust. The reach has also been slightly improved, which was another concern on the previous model.
Overall, this model improves on the previous version and goes to show that Dyson really do pay attention when developing their products as most of the improvements were certainly raised by customers. Add to that the 5 year warranty that comes as standard and you've not only got a great vacuum cleaner, but one that will do the job for the forseeable future.

I own 2 dogs, 1 brown labrador & 1 black labrador, I also have 2 small children (7years & 4 years) and I have always been a Dyson sceptic, not anymore!!
I bought this vacuum cleaner 2 weeks ago & it is fantastic - once it arrived i used my old cleaner before i got the Dyson out of the box on my rugs in the living room, just to see if it was as good as it was hyped. OMG i filled up the dirt drum/container with just 1 clean of the rugs in living room, i was really shocked & horrified. So clearly my old cleaner was not picking up ANY dog hair OR was just pushing it round the room!!
I clean daily & empty the container daily which is no problem to me as this cleaner is soo easy to use; pushing it round (thanks to the BIG BALL); emptying the container (make sure you have it over the bag/bin properly); and using the tools.
So why haven't i given it 5 stars, it is an expensive bit of kit but it is a brilliant vacuum cleaner - however the electric lead is just too short for such a brilliant machine. When you paid nearly £400 for a cleaner i want to be able to clean my through-lounge without having to unplug it at one end & plug it in the other end & that is my only gripe.
You won't be disappointed!!

Amazon Verified Purchase
This Dyson is very easy to use, nice and light to handle. It is easy to turn off the brushes - I think I wore the brushes of my last Dyson out as I never bothered to figure out how to turn them off. I also like the way it goes from upright to travelling mode without having to press a button to release the handle. Because it is so light I am more inclined to get it out of the cupboard just for a two minute job. The little miniature Dyson with little brushes you use to clean the chairs works a treat. I don't think any vacuum cleaner can completely take up every single cat hair but this Dyson does its best.
