Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

One of the lesser known, but far from the lower quality floor vacuums on the market has got to be the Dyson vacuum. Over the last year or so, they have begun to become known as one of the best possible choices and providers of high quality and innovation when it comes to technology and advancements in the vacuum industry. As part of this reputation, they have developed what is quickly becoming one of their most popular models known as the Dyson slim(tm) DC18 all floors vacuum.

With the ability to perform as well as any other upright vacuum on the market in it’s ability to pick up dirt and clean your floors while at the same time being about 4 pounds less in weight than other upright vacuums, this is certainly going to be one of the biggest names on the market. At around 16 pounds, the Dyson Slim DC 18 all floors vacuum is extremely easy to carry, push, and store.

This isn’t the only advantage this little advanced piece of cleaning technology has. The Dyson Slim(tm) DC18 all floors vacuum is a bagless vacuum with the typical Dyson features. Some of these features make it a very powerful performer and a difficult contender to keep up with in the vacuum industry.

Some of the features that the Dyson Slim DC18 all floors vacuum includes are:

Dyson DC25 Vs Dyson DC18 Slim

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

Comparing two vacuum cleaners can be a difficult thing to do because one vacuum cleaner can be so different from the next. But to make life harder you have asked to compare two vacuums from the same company. I say it is harder because we are comparing two vacuum cleaners that are almost identical… but I promised to bring you the best Dyson Information so lets get started.

Dyson DC25 vs. Dyson DC18 Slim

First lets take a brief look at each cleaner and what it has to offer.

The Dyson DC25 Ball Vacuum Cleaner is an upright vacuum that comes in two seperate models the DC25 Animal, and the DC25 All Floors.  Each model is equipped with the Dyson Cyclone technology that guarantees to never lose suction, and a fingertip controlled brush head to turn your brushes on and off as needed.  The Dyson DC 25 is known as the Dyson Ball because it is 1 of three vacuum cleaners in their upright range to have the new Ball technology which breaks the mold of how vacuum cleaners  move.

The Dyson DC18 Slim is another one of Dyson’s vacuums in their upright range.  The DC18 is also equipped with Dyson’s Cyclone technology, and an easy to use on/off switch for it’s brush head.  The DC18 slim vacuum doesn’t offer any models, but shares many of the same features of the DC25. The primary feature of the DC18 is that it is very lightweight when compared to other upright vacuum cleaners.

Similiarities

  • Dyson Cyclone
  • Hygienic Canister
  • Asthma & Allergy Friendly
  • Lifetime HEPA Filter
  • Brush Control
  • Collapsible Wand

Differences

  • The DC18 is Lighter
  • The DC25 uses the Ball Technology

Which vacuum is better?

The answer to that question is a very difficult one because the vacuums from a cleaning standpoint are almost identical.  What it comes down to are the features of each vacuum that factor into use.

The DC25 vacuum would be my choice if I were in the market for a new Dyson vacuum cleaner.  The DC25 is equipped with the ball technology which I absolutely love.  It makes moving around furniture, corners, and any obstacles on the floor extremely easy.  While the DC18 Slim is a great vacuum cleaner that I would also love to own my age and build don’t really factor into me needing a light weight vacuum cleaner, and I live in a ranch so I don’t have to lug it up and down stairs.

With that said though if you are older, smaller, or have a lot of stairs in your house the DC18 slim may be the right vacuum cleaner for you.  It simply makes your life easier when carrying and pushing it due to it’s light weight.

In summary, the decision really needs to be made to suite your personal needs.  The DC25 and the Dyson DC18 slim are both very efficient and powerful vacuums.

So you need to ask yourself do you need great manueverability? If so choose the Dyson DC25 Ball vacuum cleaner. Or Do you need a light weight vacuum?  If you do then go with the DC18

Dyson DC18 Slim

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

The Dyson vacuum cleaner has been looked at over the last year as one of the best providers of quality and innovative technology in the industry. One of the most popular of their vacuums is the Dyson DC18 Slim upright vacuum which has the ability to pick up as well if not better than any other upright vacuum on the market while being light weight and easy to use. The DC18 weighs 16lbs which is about 4 lbs less that Dyson’s other upright vacuums making it much easier to carry, push, and put away.

But the weight of the Dyson DC18 Slim isn’t the only feature that this vacuum has. Dyson has built this bagless vacuum with their usual array of features making it a very powerful performer.

The Dyson DC18 Slim Features:

  • A Lifetime HEPA Filter
  • Lightweight & Ergonomic
  • A Expandable and Retractable Wand
  • A Hygienic and Easy Empty Canister
  • Asthma Friendly Certification
  • A Toggle Switch For Brush Use
  • Adjustable Height

The Dyson DC18 is equipped with a lifetime HEPA filter to catch the smallest particles like pollen which are major irritants for allergy sufferers. The filter simply needs to be clean once a month with warm water and it should keep your house clean and your vacuum running well for years to come.

The DC18 upright is lightweight at only 15.8lbs making it very easy to use, without hurting your back in the very least. One of Dyson’s best features is that most of their vacuums are equipped with ergonomic handles to make moving and storing you vacuum much easier, because you no longer need to carry them around in a manner they weren’t meant to be carried in.

Most vacuum cleaners come with a “wand” or tube that wraps around them for which you can use to clean your furniture, your car, or your blinds. While most of them like to fall off while you are vacuuming or get int the way by getting caught on a corner or a door handle the Dyson DC18 Slim‘s want doesn’t. The people at Dyson have added the extend able wand which starts in the collapse position and is only seen when you want to see it. This means that it isn’t falling all over the place or getting caught on anything. Just release the vacuums handle and extend the tube and you can get everything those other vacuums can but without the eyesore or the inconvenience.

The DC18 Slim vacuum is a bagless cleaner which means that it has a canister and not the bag you may be used to. Sometimes people can be a little weary about getting a bagless vacuum because they can be difficult to empty and clean, but not the Slim. The canister on all Dyson’s are certified asthma and allergy friendly and are completely hygienic because they allow for easy emptying in which you don’t have to touch the dirt. To empty the canister on the DC18 all you have to do is push a button so you never get your hands dirty or accidentally dump anything out while trying to mess with a difficult to open canister like some vacuums have.

The last two features Dyson DC18 All Floors has are a toggle switch that allows you to turn your brushes on and off so that you can protect your hard floors from scratches when you are vacuuming over them, and an adjustable height handle to make cleaning easy no matter how short or tall you are. These are really great because they add convenience to your chores. Instead of having to get out your broom you can get the dirt off of your tiled floors without worry about damaging them by turning off the brushes on your vacuum. And instead of trying to crouch down or lift your arm up you can adjust the handle to make cleaning comfortable for you.

The Dyson DC18 Slim is only one of Dyson’s many upright vacuums. If you are not sure which vacuum is right for you please take a look at the articles below as they may be of some help.
