Any reason to select one over the other as far as the DC14, DC15, or the DC17? I know the 15 is a ball -- is it really easier to maneuver? What about the difference between the 14 and 17? Any idea? I did the comparison on the Dyson site and it does not look like a lot of difference but the 14 does not show a motorized brush bar and the other two do. The 17 does not have airflow tools and the other two do. The 17 does not have "large debris channel" while the other two do. Different Root Cyclone technology. That is not much to show a difference between models.

I was going to try to just order on line, but I may have to go look and feel them in person to be sure.

I also have the Dyson over here in England.I must say it is the best vacuum cleaner I have had.

For all of you that think you can't have a Dyson because it's bagless and you won't be able to handle the emptying of the container, I really think it's because you may not be aware of how the emptying is done. Take a look at this page... http://www.dyson.com/range/feature_f...vtype=pagelink ... then click on the words "Hygienic and quick to empty" on the left for a short video on how the emptying really works. I have never had any dust to fly out of the trashcan whenever I empty my canister before. And I never have to actually touch the bottom of the canister like the lady in the video does either....just use the ground to close the bottom of the canister if you don't want to touch it and possibly get any dust on your hands. That's what I do!

I just didn't want anyone to assume that because the Dyson is a bagless vacuum that they couldn't own one. I really think it's possible. I too have allergies and I LOVE my Dyson.

Wow! SO much input!
K I've had a Kirby for years-I think it is the 4th generation model. Very heavy. I like it because I can shampoo my carpets though and thats pretty simple and nice too.
I went out and bought the Dyson DC17-So far I love it! I have short carpet, shag carpet, tile and hardwood floor in my house! There is a button at my fingertips that turns the beaters off for my hardwood floors! The attachment hose is my favorite though!! All you do is pull the hose up and out! No taking the machine apart and attaching the hose, etc! It is so handy-love this part!
Also with this new model you do not have to touch the canister when you empty, therefor you are not leaning down next to the dust when you empty it. The release is on top at your fingertips! So far...LOVE this Dyson!
Oh and I got mine at Sears-I have 90 days to return it and of course they will price match any store!

Hey Breny -- did you get your Dyson? I did, based on all the recommendations here (even though hubby was armed with a Consumer Reports that held another brand at the top). I bought the Dyson DC17 Animal. Best Buy was out of them but they did have it sent to my house. They said they had just had a run on them. I told them it was probably all the YT folks recommending it. She probably thought I was a nut.

Anyway....this is the best vacuum I have ever used! I have had a lot of different ones. I used to love my Oreck but it has seen better days. I've had Kirby, Hoover, Eureka, and this inhome system -- Dyson beats them all. The Dyson feels like a self propelled the way that beater bar takes off. And what this thing picked up! I can't believe all that was in my carpet! Lots of carpet fuzz and dog hair. I knew my old one was not doing well but never knew all that was being left. I got lots of sand out of the carpet too. So, if you have not decided yet, I would add another vote for the Dyson!

Breny · 03-02-2007, 07:37 AM

Wow! Thanks for the report. I'm saving right now and I want the Dyson for sure!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm on a mission to try and find the best deal. Boy they are expensive! The animal is even more and so is the one with the ball?

Thanks for letting me know you love it !!!!
