Dyson Vacuum – Dyson DC17 Review
As with many of its models since 2005, the Dyson DC17 comes in a meal and animal model, designed specifically for homes with animals. The Dyson DC17 is often found in the moderate price range, between $350 and $450 and has all those features that people appreciate from Dyson. This article will give the reader an overview of the DC17 and its most useful features.
As with the other Dyson models, the DC117 is a bagless vacuum. Not only will you never need a bag, you’ll also never need a replacement strap or filter. As with previous models, the HEPA filter can be washed regularly and the air it emits has been recorded to be 150 times cleaner than the air found in most homes. Dyson has the unique distinction, by the way, of being the only vacuum cleaner approved by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. And, as with all its models, the vacuum, with a level 3 Root Cyclone technology, is proven to have no loss of suction. The DC17, like its predecessors, uses The Ball for easy maneuvering and a 17-foot rod for those hard-to-reach places.
The Dyson DC17, while upright, is a bit heavier than some of Dyson’s previous models, weighing in at just over 27 pounds. However, between the motorized brush and the ball, it maneuvers quite well for a vacuum of its size and the weight of the machine is distributed evenly between its wheels. The placement of the wheels themselves, behind the engine, gives it the appearance of being lighter than it is.
Owners of the DC17 upright vacuum claimed that while the model wasn’t cheap, it outperformed models from other manufacturers, such as Kirby, Electrolux, Hoover, and even Miele, several of which were notably more expensive (the Rainbow was one of them). ). Additionally, most were impressed with its filtration system, saying that it actually leaves the air smelling noticeably better. It comes with a power head attachment and various other tools to make the job easier.
An amazing feature for the money, the DC17 automatically adjusts its height for the job, easily going from carpet to hard floors. Many homeowners find they have to vacuum less often, as the DC17 does a great job the first time. Several reported that they found their carpet fibers to look more “plumper” than before.
Although the Dyson DC17 is more expensive than many conventional models, many owners reported that the model easily outlasted models from other manufacturers that they had previously owned. There is something to be said for longevity. Cheap quickly becomes expensive, if one is replacing a vacuum cleaner every couple of years. In this regard, the Dyson DC17 upright vacuum exceeds all expectations.
