Dyson Store: Exclusive experiences. Customized machines. Expert advice.DYSON DEMO STORE

Solving problems others ignore is the Dyson way, and that extends across everything we do from pioneering new products, to research and retail.When the first Dyson store opened in 2000 in Paris, there was very little like it. Often technology was sold in large department stores, stacked high and ready to buy. It wasn’t a tailored experience that helped potential owners understand the machines or technologies they were buying.Now, two decades after the introduction of Dyson Demo stores reinvented the way we retail, we’ve continue to breath new life into the way people shop for our technology and experience it. That's why each store brings the science and engineering to life, offering exclusive services, and support from our Dyson Experts. While the experience is one that should really be felt in person, we wanted to share some of the unique options available to you at our stores: Expert demons and advice - Try before you buyTest out the latest Dyson technology in-store before you buy it

Capturing gaseous pollutant

Traditionally, filtration relates to removing particles from airflow – the job of a HEPA filter. But Dyson engineers understand the components of indoor air, whether in homes or commercial spaces, and have redefined filtration to respond to all the pollution problems indoors – not just some.In addition to the HEPA filtration layer, Dyson purifiers use carbon to absorb gaseous pollution. The activated carbon layer, impregnated with a chemical known as Tris, captures gaseous particles including VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and oxidising gases such as NO2 (produced by traffic pollution or combustion). Carbon crystals are porous, and like a sponge with water, carbon can absorb gases, odours, domestic fumes and VOCs.To read more about Filtration at Dyson click on our At the core: Filtration link.If you are interested in reading about the common pollutants in the home, visit our ‘What are the common household pollutants?’ article.

The science behind the Dyson Airwrap™ styler. The Coanda effect explained.HAIR CARE

A completely new way to curl hair. Harnessing the power of air.The Coanda effect is the tendency for a fast-moving jet of air travelling over a surface to attach to that surface. In the Dyson Airwrap™ styler we combined this scientific concept with the Dyson V9 digital motor to create a spinning vortex of air.Other stylers use extreme heat, which can damage hair. The Dyson Airwrap™ is different and doesn’t rely on heat alone to change the bonds within the hair structure.Using air helps to get volume into the curl and avoid extreme temperatures. Intelligent heat control measures and regulates the heat. By keeping the temperature below 150°C/302°F, it helps protect your hair from extreme heat damage and maintain shine. For the full Dyson hair care range, including hair tools, attachments, and accessories, or to explore our styling tutorials, visit your local Dyson website Want to watch a quick, step-by-step guide to achieve your ideal style?Take a look at our Tips for achieving your sty

Dyson studies the science of pet hair, and how to remove it.

Dyson's microbiologists study how bacteria spread from pet hair, helping to develop better ways to trap them. Dyson's design engineers and microbiologists have spent years helping to develop innovative vacuum-cleaning technology. In Dyson laboratories, design engineers use high-speed cameras and Dyson-developed hair-tracking software to better understand how hair behaves in the airflows of our machines. Helping to develop the hair removal technology in Dyson's Motorbar™ cleaner heads, and the Hair screw tool. Also the Dyson Pet groom tool, which can capture loose hairs before they fall around your home. Dyson microbiologists study the bacteria, allergens and pet dander that cling to pet hair, leading to the development of Dyson's fully-sealed filtration system.

How our engineers test the Dyson Pure Cool™ purifying fanAIR TREATMENT

Other air purifiers are only designed to pass a chamber test. We don't think that is good enough.Some manufacturers of conventional air purifiers gauge their performance using a laboratory test method called ‘Clean Air Delivery Rate’. It is conducted in a compact chamber, with an added fan to circulate the air – and only one sensor to measure air quality.Dyson air purifiers go further - Dyson air purifiers are designed to work in real homes. So we’ve developed the POLAR test, based on a large living room size, with no added fan. Nine different sensors collect air quality data throughout the room, so we can make sure it purifies every corner. This is why we want to make it an industry-standard test.Dyson Air Multiplier™ technology projects purified air to every corner of the room. So you know that wherever you are in the room, the air around you is purified.

Discover how we've re-engineered the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler attachmentsHAIR CARE

When we launched the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler in 2018, it revolutionised styling. Since then, we've refined our attachment technology, to improve usability, versatility and performance.One of our biggest achievements with these attachments is how effective and intuitive they are to use. This is a result of the optimised geometry and refined engineering inside them.With the Airwrap™ barrels, we focused on finding a way to achieve both directions of curl on one barrel, to give you optimal control and styling, in an easy-to-use way.The brush attachment has been re-engineered with Enhanced Coanda airflow. On the new design we've got these vanes which turn and guide the flow. This gives you precision Coanda airflow for controlled style and alignment.The Coanda smoothing dryer now has two modes. Firstly, it has the Drying mode. You can then switch into Smoothing mode. This uses the Coanda effect to sort the hair and reduce the flyaways*, giving you a nice, smooth finish.All of these attac
