Vacuum cleaners: Compare features & prices Dyson DC40 Animal review

The Dyson DC40 Animal upright vacuum cleaner is one of the first to make use of Dyson's refined 'Radial Root' cyclone technology - which it says will remove more dirt, dust, pet hair and allergens than previous Dysons. A smaller version of the DC41, the DC40 also claims excellent dust pick up and has a self-adjusting floor head. Could this Dyson be Best Buy material? We sent the DC40 to the lab to find out.
