Background and Identification

The Dyson DC31 is a bagless, battery-powered, handheld vacuum that is designed for quick pickups in the kitchen, office, or car. The DC31 is also called the DC31 Animal, meaning it is designed for homes with pets. It is also identified by the model number 18399-01. Dyson Ltd. is a British company that designs and manufactures household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, hand dryers, bladeless fans, heaters, hairdryers, and lights.

The Dyson DC31 includes a dual-power mode for a longer run-time that is meant for larger jobs with higher suction for embedded dirt. The Dyson DC31 includes a rechargeable battery that can run for up to 10 minutes before it needs to be recharged. It also features Dyson’s patented Root Cyclone technology. The vacuum includes a 0.1-gallon dust collection bin, a combination accessory tool, and a crevice tool that is designed to fit into small places.

The Dyson DC31 Animal includes a shiny grey handle and suction arm. The vacuum’s body is generally either grey or silver in color, and its collection bin is transparent so that users can see inside and not overfill the bin. Inside the vacuum’s transparent collection bin, the motor is protected by purple plastic. A red button on the side of the vacuum, next to the collection bin can be pressed to release the contents of the collection bin.
