Dyson - The Last Vacuum I'll Ever Own II

The DC18 model has now been discontinued, you will find some great buys on ebay if you are lucky enough to find a new DC18. Dyson now gives a 5 year warranty on these machines. You will be very pleased with the ease of use and although there are not alot of attachments onboard a DC18, many of the attachments will fit DC18. This is my third Dyson and will not buy any other machine. I now have two DC18 and a DC17 Animal. I have replaced all the machines I use in my carpet cleaning business and recommend Dyson to all my clients. In my cleaning process, I always vacuum the carpets first, clients will tell me .. I have already vacuumed so there's no need too, but I insist on doing with the Dyson. They are always amazed that the Dyson picked up more than the machine they were using. Few people realize that if you read the instructions on your vacuum, it will tell you that you need to start with a new bag everytime you vacuum. This can get very expensive as you know. Many of the newer uprights are now bagless and the Dyson out preforms my Hoover WindTunnel, The Dirt Devil and the Oreck, yes ... the Oreck. I strongly suggest, if you need a light weight vacuum that preforms like a full size upright, look for a new DC18 on ebay. The DC25 is the new Ball style and operates as nice as the DC18. Hope this review helps.
