I like my DC17. My experience with Dyson's is limited though, so I haven't gotten to try out all the models. That thing picks up insanely well though. | ||

Ditto Joe - DC04 was the best vacuum they ever made! Relatively sturdy (certainly more so than anything that came after it), very strong suction and decent pick up, even on the clutched models. They were far lass bulky and awkward to use than the DC07 and DC14 that followed and far more sturdy than the current models.
The DC41 is probably the best I've used for carpet pick up, but I'm not a huge fan of "The Ball" and find them to be very flimsy, especially considering they're almost £400 new. The worst has to be either the DC02 or DC03. Both were a complete joke in terms of performance. Pic below of the DC04 Absolute that I used have. Sold this one on a while ago.

Sorry Tayyab, but your posts do make me laugh!
Say what you like about Dyson - love em or hate em, but they are NONE of what you said. They don't have "the best" suction, they aren't that good at filtering and they are CERTAINLY not quiet by ANY standards. I'd love to know what actual experience you have to be able to say that you know they are the best. Personally, having used almost, if not every, model of Dyson going at one time or other and owning an absolute heap of vacuums since I started collecting, I've found that they are indeed the best bagless vacuum going. However, Dyson have spent far too much time thinking about marketing gimmicks and attempting to refine the cyclone assembly and have completely missed other features that make a good vacuum, such as build quality, brushroll design, ease of use, easy to use and access tools. I don't want to have to stop vacuuming and take half the cleaner apart to get to the hose, just to pick some crumbs up from the corner or dust off the skirting board. I also want to be able to vacuum under my bed without moving it. They have strong suction and in many aspects are very well designed, but they are let down by poorly engineered brushrolls, poor tools and a poor build quality that doesn't reflect the high price of the machine and always have. | ||

Chirs...
I agree with you, mostly, I think the hose and tools are quick and easy to use, the tools are quite well designed, but they need to improve the ferformance of them cause there are many older cleaners and many new cleaners that pick up better, they need to make a brushroll that has stiff brushes that are close togther, and to do away with the tracks in the sole plate because it causes you to have to make more passes where dirt is left behind.
Dysons are sealed systems and do have excellent filtration...Untill you empty them!! The suction is Excellent, but I think the Vax cleners, which are the majour bagless uright competitor perfom, A LOT better and are cheaper, however, they don't have the same bagless technology, if the VAX Mach Series Brushroll was put in a Dyson, they would probably be MUCH better! | ||

In the USA, the DC17 would have to be our 'best' model. It was designed specially for our carpets, with a really good brush roller (far better than the 'hairy stick' he used on the DC07). The DC17 is, in my opinion, the deepest cleaning Dyson upright next to the DC28. Sure hope Dyson gives us a good electric power nozzle for the DC54 - the turbine heads are horrible on U.S. carpets.

In terms of general daily use then my favourite is the DC14, and I completely agree with MVacs 940 comment (I need to scratch my Volvo itch!) However, the DC24 is great in terms of its quirkiness! Hopefully after a refurb it will perform on par too | ||

Tayyab, the fact that it has a broken bin flap and a worn out clutch and brushroll in a relatively short lifespan (lets not forget the Blitz It was one of the last DC14's) says more about the cleaner than any of your praise.
Just to put in perspective, we had 1 cleaner in daily use in a house with 4 kids, 4 cats and 2 adults for 17 years with flawless performance. The only repair it ever had, was a belt replacement. That particular cleaner is still running and is now part of my collection. My Grandma has 2 dogs. She vacuums daily, sometimes twice. She had 1 cleaner from 1986 - 1997. Despite it being rather battered by the time it was replaced and suffering with broken height adjustment, handle release and broken top cord hook, it still worked after 11 years of twice daily use AND cleaned 2 cars fairly regularly. Since then, she has had 5 Dysons (DC01 standard, DC04 Silver Lime, DC07 Animal, DC15 Animal and a DC27 Animal). None have lasted longer than a few years. After all that, I think I'll stick with the Sebo. | ||

Tayyab, the constant max is just a DC04 silverlime with a lower wattage motor and a changable cable. The DC04 that she had lasted the longest - she had that for about 5 years. But despite regular maintenance, it still wore out. I believe the motor burnt out on that one.
Plus, the constant max is no longer in production. My Grandma has now got a George which is used mostly. The DC27 has been relegated for use upstairs now. | ||
