My second Dyson, 2008-06-24
I purchased the DC 7 when if first came out for sale in the US. I was very pleased with it but a bit over four years and it no longer did the job as efficiently. In all fairness to the vacuum, I must say that I raise pomernian dogs and also have a lot of birds which causes dandery fine dust. I live in an arid area with dirt roads and blowing wind. So my home is in constant need of cleaning.
Four days ago my DC17 arrived. I had vacuumed very recently but of course I had to try out my new one. I could not believe how much dirt it found that had been missed. I let the CD17 plugged in and about 5 times that first day I would use it again. Shocking to see that each time I used it, it found more dirt. I had no idea my carpet was that dirty, but this is embedded dirt it is still pulling out. I do believe it has a lot more suction than the DC 7 ever had.
I have a fairly thin rug near the bird room door. In the past I could vacuum it with no problem. The suction on DC17 is too strong though.
I like the placement of the carpet/bare floor button since I feel using the carpet setting on bare floors would not be good for the floors. I did find this new one to be a bit harder to push..........I'm sure that is because it is sucking so hard.
I wanted to get the ball but when I compared models, I found it has a much smaller bin and I didn't want to have to empty it as often as would have been required.
It does leave tracks in my carpet. Not sure if it would on all types of carpet.

STOP READING AND BUY IT!, 2008-06-19
Fantastic! I have a "vacuuming day" on the calendar each week, but I can rarely wait for Thursday and end up vacuuming a few times a week for the sheer joy of it - I, who used to shun any kind of tidyness and had to schedule it in to make sure I would do it! The Dyson is down-right fun. I've had it for about four months now, and it doesn't get any less exciting. I use the mattress attachment for everything. I vacuum the couch, the throw pillows, my mattress, everything! Even my parrot (who was so horrified of my old bissel vacuum that I would have to put him outside for fear he would hurt himself throwing himself about the cage in terror whenever I used it) even he seems to have made peace with the Dyson's soothing hum, and doesn't even complain (much) when I vacuum the dander right off of the seed catcher! We all breathe better, the air smells fresh and clean, and somehow this vacuum is good for the soul because I think everyone feels happier in the house now that we have it! My baby girl (11 months)doesn't wake up congested like she used to, and the soft-dusting brush gives me peace of mind that I'm actually collecting and disposing of the dust in my house (on furniture and the TV screen and such) instead of just moving it around. It will be the best purchase you've ever made. Stop craving it (as we did for years), and just buy it. I have a husband who is in the military and brings in El Paso dust and rocks on his boots from the field every day, a Golden Retriever who carries Lord knows what in on his fur, which then falls out all over every surface in the house, a macaw, who throws pellets, seeds, feathers, and dander everywhere, and a baby learning to eat solids who drops crumbs all around the table. My house is like the consumer reports testing ground for this vacuum,and the vacuum has emerged triumphant from every test. You won't know how you lived without it. I don't.

WOW!, 2008-05-31
Even though I rated this vacuum 5 stars, I do have a couple of cons I want to write in:
Con #1. The Dyson ball vacuums were much easier to use but weren't as powerful as this DC 17. I opted for power. I wish it were easier to maneuver under furniture and in tight spots. Hopefully, the folks as Dyson will work on this engineering issue.
Con #2. It is heavy. The weight (and the clunkiness) reminds me of my mom's old upright Kirby she had from the mid-1960s.

Okay, on to the reasons I rated this vacuum 5-stars:

Pro #1. My son has been suffering from allergies. I am one step away from having him tested--sigh. The strange part about his allergy attacks is that they seem to be caused by something at home. It dawned on me that he is most likely allergic to dust/dust mites. And, we have a rug. Yesterday, I lost it as he was gagging so, I ran out and bought this vacuum. If I could wait, I would have purchased it through Amazon (price is low) but I couldn't. I came home. I quickly put the vacuum together and started using it. I was amazed! Not only did I just vacuum the night before, the carpeting was professionally cleaned just two weeks ago. You should have seen what my DC 17 pulled up from what looked like a very clean rug! The canister was filled in a blink of an eye--maybe 250-300 sq ft of carpeting was vacuumed--far from finished! I have had to clean out the canister three times in two days! (By the way, my son is doing much better)

Pro #2. When I use this vacuum, I smell CLEAN AIR. I don't smell a cloud of dust.

Amazing!, 2008-05-26
For the past 3 years we have had a Bissell Lift-Off which worked fine in our apartment and rent house. But when we bought our brand new house the Bissell couldn't handle all the carpet fuzzies. I would have to clean the vacuum out after every room to unclog the fuzzies and eventually the whole thing would overheat and I couldn't use it for a while.

Today, my husband and I vacuumed our entire 2,600 sq ft house for the first time with our new Dyson and we literally emptied out 11 containers of dirt. I swear the carpet looks like it's totally new again. It just looks fabulous! With the attachments my husband easily cleaned the staircase which was never easy with the Bissell.

Yes, this cost us a lot of money, but I will recommend this product to anyone especially with the 5 year warranty. Go for it!!

The Best Vacuum I Have Ever Used!, 2008-05-17
I bought this vacuum expected to be amazed and I was to say the least! I went over my already vacuumed carpet with this Dyson and I was stunned to see all the stuff in the bin. I recommend this vacuum for everyone!
