Dyson Vacuum Reviews

The Dyson DC17, though an upright, is a little heavier than some of the previous Dyson models, weighing in at just a touch more than 27 pounds. However, between the motorized brush and the Ball, it maneuvers fairly well for a vacuum of its size and the weight of the machine is evenly distributed across its wheels. The placement of the wheels themselves, behind the motor, gives it the appearance of being lighter than it is.
Owners of the DC17 upright vacuum stated that, though the model was not cheap, it outperformed other manufacturers’ models, like Kirby, Electrolux, Hoover, and even Miele, several of which were notably more expensive (the Rainbow being one of them). Further, most were impressed with its filtering system, saying it actually leaves the air smeller notably better. It comes with a powerhead attachment and several other tools to make jobs easier.

The premiere feature that makes the Dyson DC15 bagless vacuum so ideal for households with pets is its ability to pick up everything from every kind of surface without losing suction.

Normally, most vacuums are okay on straight surfaces, but leave behind traces of dirt in corners or along edges. This upright gets the air spinning so quickly, dirt and debris is literally forced up into the vacuum. This airflow, amazingly enough, is accomplished without the use of belts (one more thing you won’t need to replace).

Most owners, though first shocked at the sticker price, often around $600 are impressed with its features and its ability to clean an area that previously didn’t even look dirty. Its various powered brushes make it possible to also pick up hair from upholstery and stairs. Owners have also noted that it is quieter than many of the Dyson predecessors. Additionally, its canister is clear, so it’s easy to gage whether it needs to be emptied.

Though not inexpensive, owners have called it a “lifelong” vacuum as the Dyson DC15 comes equipped to handle just about anything, requires no replacement bags, filters, or belts and can stand up to just about anything the owner throws in its path.
