Compact without the compromise High performance Dyson vacuum technology: Concentrated

Rising populations, urban living, and less space have all lead to us living in more compact spaces. Making the most of every inch is key to compact living. It’s not just about how you furnish your pocket-sized apartment; keeping a small space clean and tidy can help to create a more welcoming environment.

For British technology company Dyson, developing solutions for smaller spaces is a core part of their £1.5m a week research and development programme. Fitting on an A4 sized piece of paper, DC48 is engineered to be Dyson’s smallest, quietest Ball™ vacuum cleaner yet.

James Dyson, Company founder and inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner and bladeless fan, notes that “globally attitudes to technology are starting to design. People want better technology. Technology that makes their lives easier, and all in more compact, energy efficient forms.” The technology entrepreneur challenged his 1500 strong engineering team to find a solution.

The secret behind the DC48 is the Dyson digital motor - half the size of conventional motors with twice the power. It’s controlled by a microprocessor that makes 6000 decisions a second in order to optimise performance. This is a miniature revolution. With the tiny motor, the machine weighs in at just 2.7kg.

Powerful but quiet: Engineers were challenged to develop a powerful yet quiet vacuum cleaner. Acoustic engineers developed simplified airways in the floor tools, funnelling the turbulent air downwards to dampen the sound. They adjusted the motor’s orientation, and smoothed the airflow inside the vortex fingers of the cyclone to reduce sound from the machine.

Ball™ technology: The machine is light to pull, can pivot on the spot, and follows obediently without snagging on corners. It has a low centre of gravity for negotiating tight turns and getting around furniture. There are over 100 components arranged in the ball including the motor, ducting and 5 metres of cable.

Improved floor tools: These have been re-engineered to improve pick-up and sound quality, and reduce weight. Simplified airways decrease noise levels and a self-tightening mechanism keeps the brush bar stable. A dust capture channel prevents dirt from escaping back to the floor, increasing pick-up. The new configuration of carbon fibre filaments and nylon brushes removes fine dust from hard floors and ground-in dirt from carpets.

Duman Duman! Get Some Before It's All Gone At Sugarleaf Makati

Imagine a variety of grain that is planted only in a couple of weeks in select rice paddies in only a couple towns in Pampanga then harvested as the cool breeze of the holiday months sweep the rice fields. Processing this grain is a colourful undertaking in itself–from harvesting in early dawn, to winnowing, toasting and pounding to remove the chaff.  For every hectare planted with this special variety yields a mere 4.5 cavans of grain while a harvest of the normal variety of rice yields up to 300 cavans.
Due to the limited harvest quantity, which was fortunately spared by the typhoons that hit Central Luzon this year, the demand for duman is much greater than the supply.  However, despite its rather steep price, those who’ve enjoyed it vouch that it is worth every grain. It may be consumed by itself, rather like breakfast cereal, or taken with steaming gatas damulag (carabao milk) or tsokolate de batirol (frothy native chocolate).
Sugarleaf Makati shares this prized delicacy in limited quantities to residents of the metropolis. Together with La Moderna’s artisan bakery products as well as other carefully selected healthyummy food and non-food products
