Dyson Torque Drive vs Direct DriveThe Dyson torque drive vs direct drive refers to the cleaner head technology on the cordless vacuums. The new torque drive is included on both the Cyclone V10 Absolute and Animal models. The Cyclone V10 Motorhead and previous models all use the direct drive cleaner head technology. Dyson claims the new cleaner head removes 25% more dust. This comes from the torque drive creating more power to dig deeper and harder into the surface for dirt and dust. The torque drive is in the cleaner head only and not the soft roller. | |
