DC07 Animal or DC18.. Which is Better?
218121
When I spoke to them I asked. They told me the Dyson DC17 has the most suction out of all of them. They aren't all the same. I hope this helps. You can also get a much better deal if you go to www.factorydirectsuperstore.com I have purchased quite a few items from them and they provide excellent service and pricing. They have every kind of brand you could ask for. I believe the shipping is free and no tax.

What's the difference between this and the DC35 "non animal" version? This one costs more but the only thing I see is a special brush???

To correct Ravyn, the DC17 weighs 20.79 lbs, the DC28 is 20.61 and the DC25 is 16.12 lbs. I own both the DC17 and the DC25 and I agree with the above sentiment that the DC17 can be hard on certain carpets due to its stiffer bristles. However it does seem to perform slightly better than the DC25, but the 25 is lighter and easier to use. I use the DC17 on our straight fiber carpets and the 25 on our loop fiber carpets and am quite happy with the results.I would suggest the newer models be looked into as well, the DC33 and the DC28.

The DC9180 has an amp hour rating of 2.4ah, and the DC9182 has an amp hour rating of 2.0ah. Hope this helps.

I sent it back to exchange for the 8770. I like Janome but this one is plastic throat plate among other things. Go with the 8770 (its the same as the 7330 Mongolia without the decal. It works great but does not have automatic tension. I love myths DC3050's for my beginning students, but the 8770 will do just fine and is put together better and runs smoother.

Meggers use VDC. For DC is less distructive. For more indepth explination, I offer this link . . . http://www.transcat.com/technical-reference/newsletters/Insul_Testing_Megger.htm Hope this helps . . .

DC products always seem more over priced. I've had both on cars and prefer the n1. And it is Fairly loud at high rpm

I don't see a difference - the only thing I can see in the product description the os2018 is a newer version and weighs less. I love it - makes a huge difference.

I think the difference between the DC59 Animal and the DC58 Non-animal (I don't believe there is a non-animal DC59) is the attachments. The DC59 comes with the long floor attachment to allow the vacuum to be used as a full length floor vacuum (along with a bigger carpet attachment) along with several other upholstery and a ceiling fan attachment. The DC58 just comes with the regular attachments but doesn't have the long tube to extend or any of the powered attachments. So basically you're paying extra to be able to use this handheld like a full size and have several attachments designed to get pet hair (and other stuff) off the couch cushions and the stairs and the ceiling fan. . .

Linda, I have an Astro 220 and a DC 30 collar that came with it in 2011. I have added three DC 40 collars over the years. The DC 40's work better than the 30 (longer battery life and more options concerning up date frequency). As you know, none of this equipment is currently being manufactured. Garmin still supports it. I would strongly recommend that you register your equipment with Garmin at their web site. If you have a problem with any registered item they give good repair service. You may also want to check to insure that 30, 40, and 220 soft ware is the latest versions available. Hope all this helps. Linda, I have an Astro 220 and a DC 30 collar that came with it in 2011.

The DC17 is the better machine due to the fact that it uses a upgraded filtration system that does a much more efficient job at filtering sand and dust. After vacuuming a household with the DC15, you will find dust and sand on the prefilter, which indicates that it does not handle dust and sand particles as well as you think. However, the Level 3 Root Cyclone on the DC17 is much, much more efficient at seperating sand and dust from the airstream. It does so with the addition of two intermediate cyclones that handle the bulk of the particles, with eight of the Root Cyclones to filter out the finer particles. I have vacuumed my household many times this past week, and so far there are no traces of dust or sand on the prefilter. The DC17 also does a better job at agitating carpets than the DC15. The DC17 uses a large diameter brushroll that has short stiff bristles, which allows for extremely efficient deep cleaning compared to many of its competitors, as well as every other Dyson model. The DC15 has a smaller brushroller that still outperforms the DC07 and DC14, but is nothing compared to the DC17. In addition, the DC17 is much more powerful than the DC15. The DC17 is rated at 250 airwatts, whereas the DC15 is rated at 220.

It worked greatt on my DC 14, but it's about 7 years old and before they came out with the animal model. I'd call dyson directly and ask them.

My answer is the same as the others. No this is finer than the #18. This D can be compared to C-Lon thread. I use both for fine beading. The #18 I use more with kumihimo. I hope this helps you.

I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25. The company rep told me there are shorter and softer bristles on the DC 25 brush bar. Both have 220 air watts. I have frieze carpeting and it was not as fluffed up as when I used the DC17. I had used my nephew's DC 17 first and was very impressed with the feel of my carpeting afterward. The longer and stiffer bristles on the DC 17 made a noticable difference in the feel of the carpeting for me. I have 2 Lhasa Apsos so there's lots of brushing and grooming. I will buy the DC 17 Animal now. I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25.

I'm not sure if mine is a DC35 animal... I browsed pictures on the internet and it look just like my handheld.The battery works great... no issue with the operation. The only 'problem' is that when I plug it into the wall mount charger the battery does not seem to connect to the charging unit. it seems like the plug shifts slightly. No big deal, I simply push the connection cable down.. the light comes on indicating it is charging. I'll be honest it may not be the battery 'causing' this situation, I might simply have to adjust my wall charging unit. But my work around works.. so I'm fine.Good value I'm not sure if mine is a DC35 animal...
