Manufacturer's Description


DC30

DC30 is a Dyson handheld for spot cleaning and quick pick-ups. It has patented Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction, and cleans for six minutes.

This Dyson handheld comes with a combination accessory tool with wide debris nozzle to pick up crumbs and large particles or convert 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 14.8V lithium-ion battery in DC30 recharges up to three times faster than others.

DC30 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.

DC30 includes:

Root Cyclone technology for no loss of suction
Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners use patented Root Cyclone technology, which spins the air at 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
DC30 is powered by a new type of intelligent Dyson digital motor. 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.

Lightweight and ergonomic
The Dyson digital motor in DC30 is lighter than conventional electric motors, reducing the overall weight of DC30 to just 1.2kg. And because it’s half the size of other motors it can be positioned for balanced weight distribution, making DC30 much easier to handle.

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. DC30 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.

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.

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 all Dyson handhelds come with a free 2 year guarantee – parts and labour.

Customer Reviews

A great little cleaner
Dyson cleaners are known for two traits a quirky design and good suction and that is what you get here in a handheld form. The design is a little strange but at least it looks like a Dyson. It comes ready assembled and well packed in recyclable packaging. The instruction book is typical Dyson which means it seems to be designed for someone who cannot read and it has lots of pictures of how to take the cleaner apart for emptying and cleaning all that is missing are the words which I would find useful. However having charged the battery for about three hours it is ready to go to work and work it does. The tank fills up quite quickly but emptying it is easy and gives you a rest. The cleaner is quite well balanced and is not very heavy to hold and use. Oh and it makes a typical Dyson sound. Of course it really does clean. Used for stair cleaning there is no trailing lead to trip you up and all the normal household dirt is picked up quickly and easily including long hairs, we have two long haired people in the house. Of course you only have about six minutes or so before it needs charging again, remember it has a 14+ volt motor, so you are not going to clean the house with it, you need a full sized Dyson for that, but for all the small jobs it is perfect. Dyson make more expensive handhelds but I suspect you'll find as we did tyhis is all you need. Treat yourself and buy one you'll be very happy with your purchase.

Dyson Dynamo
This little gadget does exactly what it says on the tin. A super little dynamo of a vacuum for all those small areas for which a full size machine is too much trouble. After charging it went to work on my rugs and cleaned up in double quick time. Excellent suction from such a small lightweight machine. Just two small drawbacks that stop it getting 5 stars. 1) The dust/dirt capacity is a bit limited but as it will only be used for small areas this probably won't be a problem. 2)The full 3 hour charge only give 6 minutes vacuuming time again probably won't be a problem but better battery technology is available. Overall I'm very happy with this little 'Dyson Dynamo'

Little sucker
Bought this for probably the same reason as anyone else and the reason you're considering it now. Just for quick clean up without having to drag a full size cleaner out of the cupboard.

We have found it particularly useful with two toddlers commonly making a mess around the place. Also great for quick clean ups in the car.

You'll notice that I have used the word 'quick' a couple of times. This is because the battery life is a pretty short 6 minutes, preventing it from getting a full 5 stars. However, it's an intense six minutes with great suction and probably adequate for the jobs that it's used for. It would still have been nice to have a bit longer, especially if you get carried away in the car. I generally stick it back on charge after use so the battery is usually topped up. Have only run out of juice once.

We've come a long way since the original Dustbuster!
