I purchased a dyson 3 years ago after having new carpet put... it, thinking it would be easy to use as I have 4 dogs and 3 parrots and i vacuum daily. The machine did do a good job of keeping the dust down and was easy to use, however it goes down hill from there. I had purchased a mid grade carpet that tested well for sold and stain removal and was rated high for durabliity, however it began to show wear. I called the carpet store that I purchased it from, (they are a reputable dealer)and told them the carpet appeared to be worn and frizzy. AFter some questions he asked what type of vacuum i used and i told him Dyson, well that ended that, he informed me that many carpet manufactures void the warranty if your using a dyson, the brush roll is to aggressive and damages the carpets. It went right in the grabage. Next thing I noticed was while they were tearing out the rug( this never happened with my Kirby) that there was a huge amount of dirt under the rug, I mean a huge amount. this would expplain my dust allergy being in overdrive for so long. Bottom line,,,this machine has to much hype, great ads, but bad product.
I found the belt to of incredible value and quality. In fact once... I installed it the vacuum began to operate flawlessly. I don't know how I did with out it for the past few years. I recommend using this belt for anyone who purchases a Dyson or any vacuum for that matter. My grandchildren and our dogs seem so much happier playing on the carpet.

I was in need of a new vacuum and wanted one that would be my... last. This machine has great suction and really makes the rugs look clean. The only thing I do not care for is the wheel marks it leaves on the carpet unless you go over it from another way. I love having the tools right at my finger tips. It was recommended to me by a family member and I am happy I bought it.
If you’re willing to completely take apart a Dyson DC17 t...hen it’s a recommended purchase.
