   This vaccum sucks! And I mean that in a good way., January 17, 2007

   This review is from: Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)

   Strengths:
   1. Best suction even among other Dyson models due to new Level 3 Root Cyclone.
   2. Excellent build quality. Each piece is not an after-thought.
   3. Best design – shape, color, material and operation.

   Weaknesses:
   1. Price – but you do pay for the technology it has to offer.
   2. Heavy!
   3. The cones gets clogged from fine dirt in time.

   Summary: This is arguably one of the best “bagless” household vacuum cleaners money can buy. Dyson’s root cyclone technology really does perform. And this latest Level 3 Root Cyclone trumps even its other models.

   If you’re serious about having a real clean environment, this is THE product to buy. I just moved into an apartment a month ago and they replaced the carpets in most of the area and steam cleaned the others that they deemed need not be replaced. I used the vacuum in both and I can tell you that steam cleaning old carpets may get rid of surface dirt and stains, but Dyson is your friend if you want to suck out most (if not all) the dirt hidden below the surface. I could not believe how much dust it was picking up in such a small area. The bin filled up pretty fast so I was on to round 2 in the same patch of rug. This time it was picking up very find dust. Dust that may have been stuck for years and was never sucked out from other vacuum systems. Round 3 time and you will smile when you realize there is nothing else that’s being collected in the bin. As for the newly installed carpets, I could only collect find dust until no more could be collected.

   Unlike other vacuums in the market, this is one heck of a quiet vacuum in a relative way. Of course it’s still noisy, but as with other brands this won’t hurt your noise environment. In fact I am able to vacuum even at night with no fear that my neighbors beside and above my unit will hear me.

   You’re not only paying for the suction technology, you’re also paying for the build quality. Each part has quality reflected on it. While the design is modern.

   Of course nothing is perfect. This thing is heavy. DO NOT vacuum the stairs while the machine is on the top stair because if this thing falls on you, there will be serious injury and damage.

   The quick-draw expandable hose is a good idea. But it’s also not as flexible as I would have imagined it to be. It’s easy to expand and retract, but the long handle commands that the vacuum is at a distance from where you want to use the telescope handle if you want to operate it comfortably.

   Among other bagless vacuums, this is the easiest to dump the contents. But just like all other bagless vacuums, dust will certainly be flying away from the trash unless you have a very deep trash can. Plus the fine holes around the cyclone technology gets clogged from fine dust in time so you will need to clean those tiny holes from time to time if you want the Dyson to perform it’s best everytime.

   The lifetime Hepa filter is a great addition below. They recommend only washing with water and drying at least 24 hours near a heater/radiator – and they really do mean 24 hours. It’s big and thick so it won’t dry out quickly. So if you find the need to frequently vacuum the next day, I recommend getting an extra Hepa filter to use.

   The motorized brush bar helps pick up stuff from the carpet. This can be turned off for delicate rugs and floors. Just like other vacuums, hair and other long items can be trapped around the brush bar and need to be removed from time to time. It is also belt-driven so this can snap and break especially if inadvertently caught on a loose item. So be careful of this.

   Overall, Dyson is a wonderful machine to have and will surely last longer if properly taken care of.
   If you are extremely allergic to dust, I believe a better alternative is to go with Oreck XL as it ensures you will not be in contact with the dust particles due to it’s ingenious bag design that closes shut when removed.

   Dyson Vac – incredible!!, December 22, 2004

   Bought a refurb model here on Amazon after hearing so many good things about Dyson. We have 2 dogs, German Shepherd & a Chow. Needless to say, they leave a lot of hair all over the place.

   We had 2 different vacuums when we bought the Dyson and neither came close to doing what the Dyson can do.

   The first day we tried it out on an area rug – it literally picked up a canister FULL of hair that our other vacs missed earlier that day!

   Pros: Quieter than most other vacs, accessories snap in tight, amazing suction power, long power cord.

   Cons: hose wand can be unwieldy.

   Would love to see an automatic retractable cord.

   Overall, my wife and I are extremely happy with this purchase.
