1. Dyson Animal DC39 If pet owners are tired of the never ending battle between home and fur, they should know that armed with a Dyson Animal, they'll always end up on top. The DC39, which includes an Animal model, is the first Dyson canister featuring its Ball technology, which allows for maneuvering around tight corners. Available in mid-March, the DC39 is the result of three years of research by 70 engineers. In addition to easy steering thanks to its low center of gravity, the machine is equipped with Dyson's cyclone technology to capture microscopic particles. While the DC39, a stunning piece of craftsmanship, will act as reprieve for allergy sufferers, its price tag might make them wince, setting them back $499.99. PHOTOS
