Dyson has been making attempts to reach niche vacuum cleaner markets. Dyson has just designed and released a vacuum cleaner targeted at asthma and allergy sufferers. Unfortunately for Dyson, they still give their vacuum cleaners boring alphanumeric names that aren’t descriptive so most people don’t know what makes the Dyson DC17 different from other Dyson Vacuum Cleaners such as the DC14 and DC07. It’s okay though, your Sensei is here to help you make sense of the world of vacuum cleaners and make an informed vacuum cleaner purchase. Read more of my Dyson DC17 Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner Review to learn just about everything there is to learn about the Dyson DC17.

Pros
Dyson designed the DC17 vacuum cleaner for a single purpose; removing the dust and allergens that exacerbate allergies and asthma. To accomplish this goal they have redesigned their classic cyclone suction system, the end result is the Level 3 Root Cyclone system. What’s the difference between the Level 3 Root system and your typical Dyson cyclone suction system? Simple, the Level 3 Cyclone system sends air through more cyclones removing the most amount of dust possible.

I’m willing to bet you’re asking “Is that it?” Well, there are a couple other minor differences, the DC17 is made with a rotating brushbar designed to clean American carpets better, other Dyson models are better designed for use on thin European carpets.

Another thing I feel I must comment on is handling. The Dyson DC17 Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner is extremely easy to maneuver compared to some of the other Dyson vacuum models. A lot of people who buy the DC17 think it came with a self propel drive system, this is not the case. It’s simply a result of Dyson’s excellent research and design team.

Finally, as with all Dyson Vacuum Cleaners, the DC17 is incredibly powerful. Pet hair and high traffic areas cease to become a problem and your first couple vacuuming sessions will likely yield mounds of dirt you never knew you had.

Cons
The only is price. I would really like to see the Dyson DC17 sell for about $50 less. A price drop would make the DC17 my favorite Dyson model on the market. If there’s an Amazon sale I’ll be sure to mention it on the Dyson Blog. Check back for updates!

Your Sensei has been lounging around the house. In an effort to kill the boredom and display my loyalty to you, the reader I’ve decided to write another Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Review. I bring you a review of the Dyson DC18 Slim Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner.

Everyone knows I hold Dyson Vacuum Cleaners in high regard. However, one of their drawbacks is their extremely bulky weight. Dyson has finally decided to manufacture and design a lightweight version of one of their greatest vacuum cleaners and your Sensei is proud to present his review of the Dyson DC18 Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner.

Pros
Lightweight. That’s going to be a recurring theme in this review and the prime advantage of the DC18. It’s not the lightest vacuum cleaner on the market, but it’s significantly lighter than the any of the other Dyson Vacuum Cleaners. If you’ve ever handled any of the conventional Dyson Vacuum Cleaner models you’ll know they can be a bit difficult to maneuver, especially if you’re a shorter person. The Dyson Slim improves handling and maneuverability to a great degree, and though it’s still just as big as your typical vacuum cleaner, it’s much more manageable than the full size Dyson Vacuum Cleaners.

Dyson has spent decades building up a brand name known for powerful vacuum cleaners. The Dyson DC18 Vacuum Cleaner lives up to Dyson’s reputation and delivers an extremely powerful cyclonic suction system that picks up dirt and dust that would be left behind the average home vacuum cleaner. You’re going to have to upgrade to a commercial vacuum cleaner for thousands of dollars to find a vacuum cleaner that can go toe to toe with the Dyson DC18 Slim in terms of suction power.

Cons
The price is a little high. I understand it’s difficult delivering a vacuum cleaner as powerful as a Dyson in such a small frame, but it’s still a little expensive. The cleaning path also noticeably smaller than the normal Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Line. It’s not that big of a deal, and can actually be a pro if you live in a house with lots of nooks and crannies, but your Sensei simply thinks bigger in this case is better.

Final Analysis
The Dyson DC18 Cyclonic Vacuum Cleaner is an excellent option for people with little storage space, want a more maneuverable vacuum cleaner, and but still want the quality and power afforded by the Dyson brand. Despite the small size, this vacuum cleaner shows up large on your Sensei’s radar and earns a solid 4.5 stars out of 5.
