How cyclone separation works
Air and debris enter a chamber and move along a curved path. The chamber's airflow helps direct some particles toward collection while air continues through the vacuum's filtration and exhaust path. Exact designs differ.
Cyclone does not mean filter-free
Many models still use one or more filters, and fine dust may remain in the airflow. Check the manual for filter type, cleaning or replacement schedule, bin limits and correct reassembly.
Compare the complete vacuum
When choosing a vacuum, compare the full model specifications, floor-head design, filtration, capacity, noise, weight, warranty and parts availability. Cyclone count by itself does not prove stronger suction, better particle removal or longer filter life.
Empty and maintain it as directed
Turn off and unplug the appliance before routine maintenance where the manual directs. Empty the bin without exceeding its fill line, and clean or replace filters only as specified. Avoid breathing dust and keep children away during emptying.
