I kicked the crap out of Dyson’s new vacuums and they wouldn’t fall over
BERLIN -- Mom always taught me never to kick any appliances, but Dyson actually encouraged me to kick the crap out of its new vacuums at IFA 2016 and try to make them fall over.
I tried and failed.
Dyson’s new Cinetic Big Ball (Animalpro and Musclehead) canister vacuums aren't like others.

They can bounce right back up when they fall over from being tugged (or kicked). Dyson achieved this feat by placing all of the vac's guts in the center and the heaviest of them at the bottom, which allows the vacs to recalibrate themselves when toppled off their round-wheeled sides.
Here's me kicking one of the poor vacuums over and over and it just bouncing back up like it was NBD.
The worst part was how I felt after kicking the vacuum. I felt horrible kicking it. Obviously, you're not gonna kick it in real life (although maybe a small child might!)
As with Dyson's existing canister vacuums, the Cinetic Big Ball uses the company's cyclone technology to blow air within the canister at speeds of up to 180 miles per hour for some really powerful suction.
The Big Ball also has a "hygienic dirt ejector" mechanism that slides down to remove dirt and dust particles.
The Cinetic Big Ball also doesn't have a filter to wash or replace. Nice!
Dyson's new Cinetic Big Ball is available immediately from Dyson's website and hits stores in the U.S. on Sept. 16. And -- surprise, not -- it's pricey: $600.
