DC31 Animal DC31 Animal is the most powerful handheld with no loss of suction, and one of the latest generation of Dyson handhelds. It comes with a motorised brush bar for powerful pet hair removal, making it ideal for homes with pets and for cleaning pet hair from the inside of cars. The dual power mode on DC31 Animal gives 10 minutes of constant high suction for large cleans, or 6 minutes at 70% higher suction for stubborn dirt.
DC31 Animal comes with a combination accessory tool with wide debris nozzle to pick up crumbs and large particles, which converts to a brush tool for dusting delicate surfaces and computer keyboards. It also includes a crevice tool for cleaning skirting boards, picture rails and in-between furniture. The 22.2V lithium ion battery in DC31 Animal recharges up to three times faster than others.
DC31 Animal is powered by the new Dyson digital motor, which is smaller, lighter and more power-efficient than conventional electric motors.
Patented Dyson technology Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction. |
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.
DC31 Animal includes: Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction
Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners use patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins the air at high incredibly high speeds. The cyclones inside a Dyson handheld 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 clear bin, with no loss of suction.
Dyson digital motor – smaller, lighter, more power-efficient
DC31 Animal is powered by a new type of intelligent digital motor. Dyson engineers spent a decade developing Dyson digital motors. They’re smaller, lighter and faster than conventional electric motors, and because they don’t rely on carbon brushes, there are no carbon dust emissions.
The Dyson digital motor in the new generation of Dyson handhelds spins at up to 104,000 rpm – that’s five times faster than the engine of a Formula 1 racing car.

Motorised brush bar
Pet hairs don’t just get into carpets – they also accumulate on upholstery, curtains, beneath furniture, inside the car… DC31 Animal has a motorised brush bar with stiff bristles that rotate to effectively remove pet hair from all sorts of tight spaces. It’s portable Dyson power, wherever you need it.
Dual power mode
There are times when you need extra power for tough cleans. DC31 Animal has dual power mode that gives you the option of 10 minutes of constant high suction (38 Airwatts) or 6 minutes of 70% higher suction (65 Airwatts) – ideal for both longer jobs and tough spot-cleans – just push the button. And because DC31 Animal uses Dyson’s patented Root Cyclone technology, it doesn’t lose suction.
Lightweight and ergonomic
The Dyson digital motor in DC31 Animal is lighter than conventional electric motors, reducing the overall weight of DC31 Animal to just 1.5kg. And because it’s smaller and lighter than other motors it can be positioned for balanced weight distribution, making DC31 Animal much easier to handle.
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. Emptying is quick and hygienic – just press the button to release the dirt.
ENERGY STAR® qualified battery charging system
ENERGY STAR® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that helps consumers protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. The latest generation of Dyson handhelds use a battery charging system that qualifies under the ENERGY STAR® program, helping you reduce your environmental impact.
No extra costs
Other handheld vacuum cleaners are still designed to need replacement filters – and the cost soon adds up. DC31 Animal uses patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins dust and dirt from the air and straight into the bin. And because it uses a Dyson digital motor, there are no carbon dust emissions. With no filters to replace, there are no extra costs to worry about.

2 year parts and labour guarantee
Your Dyson handheld 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 handheld vacuum cleaners undergo a lengthy and rigorous testing program. That’s why Dyson are able to include a 2 year guarantee covering parts and labour.
