Dyson DC18 Slim

Dyson DC18 Slim is an upright vacuum cleaner that comes with a moderate weight, 25ft long wire cord, HEPA filters with lifetime warranty, multi-floor ready (carpets, wood, tiles, ceramics, etc) and powerful suctions. But remember that Dyson is not manufacturing it anymore so you would run into some trouble when trying to find (although it is available in some stores).

Below are the hardware details in brief...

*. Comes with HEPA filters (dust-mite and allergic materials blocking). 

*. Has a powerful motor (12 Amp).

*. The height adjusts automatically according to the surface.

*. No bags to worry about (they do have their own positive aspects anyway - read this henry vacuum cleaner review for more information) and features the easy to empty dust-cup.

*. No headlight, not a big deal but can be pretty handy sometimes.

*. Two color choices are available (least expected for well most of us...) - Grey and Yellow only.

*. Weight is not that high either and is around 6.6 kg.



*. It has a lengthy wire cord which is about 7.6 meters.

*. The warranty is also an impressive selling feature for sure and consists of 5 years.

*. The vacuum suction lacks no power either and according to the manufacture it has a 200 Air Watt system.

Now thanks to the HEPA filters and few of the other technical advancements dyson has a long list of vacuums (like the latest dc 35 multi floor, dc33, etc) which are especially designed to avoid allergies and asthma related health issues. So if you are allergic to dust, then the DC18 is an excellent choice.

And as the name suggests if you have a house which is tightly stored already then this little fella can come in handy not just for cleaning hard to reach places but when storing as well. The nozzle is a bit slimmer one meaning it'll take some time to cover a larger area which is true but the positive aspect of that is it'll glide and reach smaller areas such as under rugs, carpets, corners, etc without much efforts. It is a bit noisy and the attachments are good... but perhaps may not be the best durable ones.

But anyway if you find the default head too small for your requirements you can buy an additional one from Dyson (make sure to write down the model number when purchasing). Because of the suctions + the nozzle it can be used to remove pet hair too but in that case take extra care of the filters and the nozzle (usually they recommend cleaning the filter once every 6 months in those conditions but please read the manual for more information).  

So as an ending note, if you want a powerful vacuum that has excellent suctions for cleaning a lot of carpets and bare floors and can be at peace with its noise then the Dyson DC18 Slim is an elegant solution. But as mentioned before you will have some hard time finding a place to buy it.
