A Woot Classic Moment
We’re too caught up in the frenzied celebration of our 10th birthday to write about today's product. Check out this refurbi- uh, classic write-up.
Snap Into A Slimline (April, 2007):
Thinness has taken a beating in the media lately. Yeah, it’s awful that ten-year-old girls are dieting so they can look more like the waifs in the magazines. By all means, let’s see a wider range of body types on the catwalk and the silver screen.
But let’s not go too far. The HP Slimline Athlon 64 3800+ Media Center PC is just as capable as any heftier PC. And it doesn’t owe its slender profile to pills or purging. Weigh its virtues for yourself: a high-metabolism Athlon 3800+ processor, 1GB of RAM, a 200GB hard drive, and a dual-layer DVD burner. Along with the pre-loaded Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, this svelte box punches way above its weight when it comes to music ‘n’ video.
So what if it’s refurbished, and not especially upgradeable? Who cares that it’s not the most attractive piece of hardware? You’re no supermodel yourself, you know. And we mean that in the most nonjudgmental way possible.
Features
DC40 Origin is a Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaner for every floor type. The machine’s cleaner head has an active base place, which self-adjusts automatically for optimal contact with all floor types. On hard floors the base plate lowers to create an efficient seal, and the brush bar lifts clear off the floor to protect delicate surfaces. On carpet, the base plate rises and the brush bar lowers for optimum bristle penetration- removing ground-in dirt and pet hair from different depths of carpet pile. And because the cleaner head adjusts automatically, there are no awkward dials and you don’t need to bend down to make adjustments.
Radial Root Cyclone Technology:
- Dyson vacuum cleaners don’t rely on bags to trap dust and dirt
- They use cyclone technology, which spins the air at incredibly high speeds
- The cyclones inside a Dyson vacuum cleaner generate centrifugal forces many thousands of times the force of gravity
- Dust, dirt and pet hair are flung out of the airflow and straight into the bin. No bag. No loss of suction
- DC40 Origin has Radial Root Cyclone technology
- Reconfigured air channels and improved flow efficiency reduce turbulence and preserve air pressure, so that the inner cyclones can extract more microscopic particles
- These refinements help remove more dirt, dust, allergens and pet hair for the airflow
Ball Technology to Help You Steer with Ease:
- Dyson Ball upright vacuum cleaners use patented Ball technology to overcome the steering limitations of fixed wheels
- They ride on a ball, which turns on the spot so you can steer with ease, changing direction with just a turn of the wrist
- The ball itself is made of glass-reinforced polypropylene- the same material used in the manufacture of car dashboards
- It combines high impact strength with the resistance to distortion
- The ball also holds the heaviest component, (the motor), positioned towards the base for a lower center of gravity and greater stability
Self-Adjusting Cleaner Head:
- Many upright vacuum cleaners use fixed settings and their cleaner heads don’t self-adjust to different floor types
- And the bigger the gap between the cleaner head and floor, the more suction power is wasted
- DC40 Origin has an active base plate
- It creates the optimal cleaner head contact for every floor type, reducing air leaks and retaining suction power on all floor types- wood, carpet, vinyl and tile
Instant Release Wand:
- DC40 Origin has an instant release, long reach wand for cleaning stairs and awkward areas- it stretches up to 5 times in length
- There are no separate parts to assemble
Combination Tool:
- The Combination tool has a debris nozzle that converts to a brush tool for dusting
- The Stair tool removes dirt and dust from corners and against vertical edges of stairs
Captures Allergens, Expels Cleaner Air:
- The Dyson DC40 Origin has HEPA filtration and a lifetime washable filter
- Dyson cyclones capture microscopic particles down to 0.5 microns in size, including pollen, mold and bacteria
Hygienic Bin Emptying With Push Button Release:
- The bin on a Dyson vacuum cleaner is transparent so you can see when it needs emptying- and just how much dust, dirt and pet hair your Dyson machine has picked up
Shipping Note: Eligible for shipping to all 50 states
Warranty: 6 Month Dyson
