Dyson

You can view full details of all 23 vacuum cleaners in the Dyson range, and filter the results by such useful criteria as allergy sufferers, pet owners and easy to store. All machines can be bought online, with free delivery and a five-year guarantee. Elsewhere on the site, there's a diverting Inside Dyson section that covers the company's history, ethos and charitable ventures, as well as providing facts, games and videos. The minimalist black and white design is a bit dull, but it does convey the clean, direct approach of the brand.
