Hope this helps,
Analysis:Links:
- Both
- Incredible, sometimes too strong, suction (beware of expensive rugs)
- These are great discounts, but still expensive vacuums overall
- Qualitative noise complaints exist (i.e. take with a grain of salt)
- DC17 All Floors
- Upright
- Potential Known-issue on models manufactured before 2009 (link)
- Can call Dyson for free replacement parts immediately
- Skim the rest of the thread for more details
- DC23 Motorhead
- Canister
- The head has on or off modes, it does NOT have a turbinehead
- On = motorized brush head, arguably too strong
- Turbinehead = free spinning brush powered by suction only
- Off = no spinning brush, just suction, good for hard floor
- DC17 All Floors ( Amazon $369.99 | Sears $246.00 | Price Graph )
- DC23 Motorhead ( Amazon $507.99 | Sears $299.99 | Price Graph )
