2 Tier Radial™ cyclones

The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. 2 Tier Radial™ Cyclone technology. Two tiers of smaller cyclones to capture more dirt and microscopic dust in the bin.
In DC46, 32 cyclones work in parallel across two tiers, creating both high centrifugal forces and high airflow. With gravimetric efficiencies of over 99%, they capture particles as small as 0.5 microns.

Ball™ technology
The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. Ball™ technology. Turns on the spot and follows you effortlessly around the home, without the awkward moves.
All of the vacuum’s key components are housed within the ball itself, including the electronics, the motor, the pre-motor filter and 5m of power cable. This creates a low centre of gravity and provides stability. Dyson Ball™ canister vacuums have a central steering mechanism, so they follow accurately as you pull them along.

Carbon fibre motorhead
The Dyson {PRODUCT_NAME) canister vacuum cleaner. Carbon fibre motorhead. Stiff nylon bristles remove dirt from carpet, and soft carbon fibre filaments gently remove dust from hard floors.
The brush bars of most vacuums only contain nylon bristles. While these loosen dirt from carpets, they’re less effective on hard floors. Fine dust can be left behind. Dyson brush bars are different. They have a row of anti-static carbon fibre filaments to remove fine dust from hard floors, and stiff nylon brushes remove ground-in dirt from carpets. There’s no need to turn the brush bar off when moving from one floor type to another.

Compact and light to pull
The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. Compact and light to pull. Engineered so that it’s light to pull across different floor surfaces.

Dyson DC46 Motorhead is Dyson’s mid-sized canister vacuum cleaner, so it’s light to carry, weighing 6.6kg. The ball has a smooth surface with low friction bearings, so DC46 is light to pull across different floor surfaces.

Articulating hard floor tool
The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. Articulating hard floor tool. Soft nylon bristles gently remove dust. Ultra-slim profile reaches into awkward gaps.

The articulating hard floor tool has soft nylon bristles that gently remove dust and dirt from wood and other delicate floors. It pivots 180° and has an ultra-slim profile to reach into the awkward gaps between cupboards and units more easily. There are two bristle curtains: the first removes large debris, while the second seals the tool to prevent suction leaking.

Soft dusting brush

The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. Soft dusting brush. Soft bristles gently remove dust and allergens from flat surfaces and furniture.

Soft dusting brush gently removes dust and allergens from flat surfaces, delicate areas and upholstery. Vacuum-assisted dusting around the home.

Whole-machine HEPA filtration

The Dyson DC46 Motorhead canister vacuum cleaner. Approved for allergy sufferers. Certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by the Asthma Society of Canada™.

Other vacuums often have inefficient cyclones, which means that microscopic particles like mold spores and pollen make their way through to the filter. If the machine isn’t properly sealed, these allergens and other microscopic particles escape back into the home. 2 Tier Radial™ cyclones capture allergens and bacteria. And the whole system is engineered to be completely sealed ensuring no dirty air escapes. That’s helped the Dyson DC46 motorhead become certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by the Asthma Society of Canada. It went through an independent program of rigorous tests, meeting – and exceeding – the strict criteria.
