The Dyson DC17Baby caters to the busy, high-energy, and trend-conscious cleaning professional, combining characteristics of the classic upright vacuum with the most advanced motorized brush system ever to date. Dyson has made a revolution in cleaning with its ball technology, allowing users to move freely and easily around and under furniture, including its distinctive Dyson Ball technology allows users to move around objects like a vacuum head without losing suction. The DC17Baby is so light, its tread spins when it moves, helping to remove dirt from even the tiniest crevices. It also comes with a mini turbo tool that helps to maximize floor cleaning performance and additionally clear dense cleaning. Other characteristics of the DC17 consider its 17 foot cord, 56 foot cord, and a 30 foot power cord.
The 21 volt AC electric motor allows the DC17Baby to run continuously for up to 4 minutes per charge, while the extras are rated for 6 and 10 minutes respectively. The battery will hold a charge for up to 5 and 1/2 hours, depending upon the use of the vacuum. The cord length is a generous 30 feet, which towards the top end of commercial vacuum, allows the DC17 to transition between low and high use situations without fear of plugging itself into a wall socket. The power and ease-of-use combination makes the DC17Baby a sensible and attractive cleaning appliance.
Produced by using the most advanced Micro-oms technology, which allows the suction to come from all hair types and styles, no it is not going to be the best pick for those who care primarily for cleaning their car or furniture. The DC17 has a plethora of on-board tools to assist in its use, but they are mainly aimed at the user who wants to accomplish a high degree of cleaning. The tools are designed to clog up hair-soft sponges, which allows for long, hard coats of sanding without fear of hair breaking or becoming embedded. They also have a fairly long reach, allowing them to pick up larger pieces of furniture. The water tanks are reasonably sized, but Opportunity knocks, and the retractable hose may prove to be a bit of an issue for some. The Micro-oms are also known to become clogged easily, and to dispose of useless waste more often than is helpful. Dyson should have made the retractable hose a bit longer in order to pick up more pet hair, as the DC17 is only 15 inches long.
As is with any product, use is the greatest implement for learning the handling of the Dyson DC17. As one does not need to bend or lock down the unit it is wonderful to see a light weight vacuum weighing only 7 pounds come equipped with a HEPA filter. This is the same filter used on jet engines, and has already caught the attention of those concerned about the dangers of Black soot from overheating of engine components. Care should be used to never allow the DC17 to experience heat while in use, and the water tank will Lord be emptied long before its time. For ease of use, the switch should be properly positioned for easy access, and should always be left cool to the touch to prevent catching on cords.
Safety features include a well-known and easy to useBrookstone filtration system which always keeps the air cycling at a low level noise level. The system will cycle on and off automatically, so no more need to worry about the machine overheating unexpectedly. The self-regulating brush over the globe is a great feature for consistency, and while the vacuum is demonstrated as facilitating for high speed vacuuming, it is not intended for continuous sucking for its own sake. The powerful 12 amp motor can easily be felt, but feels much more powerful than its 6 amp competing models.
The Dyson dc 17 Bright Ideas is considered a fairly powerful machine-peculiar to the original design of the Dyson DC14, but lacking in some of the bells and whistles. The DC17, however, is a machine that we feel would suit anyone’s needs who would simply like to add a new dimension to their beauty routine.
