oliveoiltinfoil From what I understand, the DC17, introduced in late 2006, was the first Dyson upright designed specifically for North American homes with thick wall-to-wall carpeting. Its brushbar has a round diameter with extremely stiff bristles, and is driven by its own motor, as opposed...

Update Last night, I decided to disassemble the Pet Stain Eraser and see what was going on. I followed the steps in the manual for battery removal and disposal (I didn't actually remove the battery), and the machine was quite a challenge to take apart and put back together. First I pried off...

I bought this vacuum off of eBay for $188 with free shipping (via UPS). It is the Dyson I really wished I would have chosen over the DC07 back in late '07. But it has arrived, better late than never. I mainly bought it because I can't afford a new Dyson at the moment. The seller, who is based...

huskyvacs I completely forgot to mention that in my OP, I always used the unit level, and I would periodically tip it backwards and upright to allow the dirty solution to collect in the tank. But lately, when I do that, the machine just leaks. My model doesn't come with a window cleaning tool...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else owns this machine, and if so, is having issues with it? My dad and stepmom bought it new from Lowe's back in May 2020, so we've had it for a year and a half now. While it does a great job of removing pet stains, especially with two Chihuahua sisters, it has...

Update 3 weeks later, I have not heard a single word out of that vacuum store in Bremerton, regarding a DC17. So naturally, I had to look for an alternative. Here's the silver lining: I have been stalking eBay for DC17 Animal vacuums, and the other day, came across one at a reasonable price...

Hey guys Just wanted to say that I simply got rid of this AllerCare powder the other day. My stepmom was cleaning the garage, looking for chemicals to get rid of, and I informed her that the AllerCare was recalled. I then tossed it in the trash, as it had no historical significance to her or I...

My dad got this for free from Amazon Vine last week (normally $500). It is a cordless wet/dry vacuum that simultaneously vacuums and washes hard floors, very much like the Bissell CrossWave. I've never heard of this brand before. Assembly was super easy; all I had to do was snap the handle into...

Wow Thanks for all the replies! Yes, I agree with huskyvacs; if I were still living in my old house and hadn't replaced the wall-to-wall carpeting downstairs with laminate, then these bags would fill up quicker. I would be changing them every few months or so in this situation. bagintheback, I...

panasonicvac I just called Vacuum's Etc. in Tacoma, and they didn't have a single used vacuum in stock. So the guy transferred me to their Bremerton location. That store didn't have any used Dysons in stock at the moment; all they had were two types of Sharks, and two types of Kirbys. I told...

panasonicvac Unfortunately, I looked up information about the DC27, and found out that it's a pretty rare machine. I also looked at the DC28, but its Airmuscle technology doesn't seem to be repair-friendly. As for that Dyson dealer you mentioned, it's pretty far from me, so I'm not sure if...

Yesterday, I changed the original bag that was in my Oreck ONEPWR cordless upright vacuum, which was super full after nearly 10 months of off-and-on usage. It was a purple CC "SUPERIOR" HEPA bag with 5 layers of filtration, along with the SaniSeal System which seals the bag shut for mess-free...

Hoover300 Thanks for the offer, but if the machine doesn't have attachments, I'm not interested. Sorry.

After my dad unexpectedly sold our Dyson DC07 Animal, I've been on the lookout for another Dyson. Lately, I've been drawn to the DC17 Absolute Animal, as that is the Dyson I really wish I would have chosen over the DC07 back then. Compared to the 07, the 17 had a better brushbar, better wand...

Update Today, I replaced the photos with much cleaner ones, taken in a light box. Other than that, the price is unchanged.

I'm reselling a Dyson attachment that I bought a couple months ago. I am parting with it as I no longer own a Dyson vacuum. It's not getting a lot of attention on eBay, so I'm sharing my listing with anyone here that happens to own a mid-to-late 2000s Dyson, and wants a good deal on this tool...

Yeah This Dyson has really stood the test of time; it has only ever had one part break on it, the soleplate. It developed a crack on one side, but luckily, it hasn't affected operation at all. In recent years, my mom and I have had to buy replacement parts for it. She replaced the clutch and...

My dad suddenly decided to part ways with a longtime friend of ours: the Dyson DC07 Animal. He sold it for $40 on Facebook Marketplace tonight, to a lady who really wanted a vacuum for the second floor of her big house. This Dyson, which my dad paid top dollar for at Target shortly after...

Here's another free vacuum that my dad got from Amazon Vine! It's a Hoover cordless stick/hand vacuum, featuring a digital brushless motor and ONEPWR battery system. My impressions so far are both good and bad. The good: 1. POWERFUL suction for its size! This is probably the most powerful...

My stepmom brought this carpet powder over from her old house a few years ago, when she moved in with my family. It is still sealed, unopened and very dusty on the outside. The S.C. Johnson product, which is copyrighted 1998, "penetrates deep into carpet fibers to kill dust mites." I used...
