Dyson DC17 Review Analysis
The Dyson DC17 offers a lightweight vacuum to those who want a bag-less model at a reasonable price. The model is especially useful for pet owners because its HEPA filter and advanced Level 3 Root Cyclone technology are geared to not only pick up animal hair but to also clear the home of harmful allergens. The Dyson DC17’s five year warranty and pet-focused design make this model stand apart from others in today’s market.
Customers, especially those with pets, loved this model’s ability to pick up not only dirt and debris but also touch to get animal hair. Experts were particularly impressed with how well the vacuum’s attachments picked up animal hair from all sorts of materials and areas: everywhere from chair upholstery, stairs, cars, and hard to reach nooks and crannies. The turbine attachment was praised highly by both customers and professionals for brushing and lifting both long and short pet hair.
Experts trust the Dyson DC17 vacuum because of its five year warranty and because it is one of the only vacuums certified as asthma friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation. This latter fact is what impressed users who had both children and animals in the home. Many users said that it made it easier to have both a pet and an allergy-prone family member.
Experts liked the see-through canister that collections debris and dirt, though some users thought it was messy to empty. Experts likes that it was easy to flip open this piece of the vacuum to empty the contents but some users had trouble with this feature, especially those who had never used a canister-type vacuum before and were more familiar with vacuum bags.
Many users were left unimpressed by the design or look of the Dyson DC17 Animal Bagless, saying that the color was unattractive and was not as sleek as they would have expected from a vacuum in this price range. Additionally, many users balked at the price of the dyson vacuum cleaner, saying that the vacuum’s price would only be a good value to those with animals in the home. Professionals though that though the pet-focused approach was useful, it was also limiting because they didn’t see why someone without pets would invest in such a high-priced model, especially given its less than attractive design and color scheme.
