Dyson DC17 Animal
The Dyson DC17 is an upright cleaner launched in October 2006 in the US. Although visually similar to the DC14, it contains new technologies, and is designed specifically for North American carpets. The first upgrade is the use of Dyson’s new Level 3 Root Cyclone.
More Details
This system incorporates 11 cyclones to more efficiently filter sand and dust particles out of the airstream. In this system, the airflow travels from the low speed outer cyclone to two intermediate cyclones that filter out the bulk of dust and sand particles that are drawn into the system. Beyond that, the airflow flows through the remaining eight high speed cyclones which filters out any remaining dust particles out of the airstream. The Level 3 Root Cyclone improves upon the original Root Cyclone system with its capability to more efficiently separate sand particles from the air flow; contaminants that the current Root Cyclone has difficulty with. The second change with the DC17 upright is the brushroll design. While the brushrolls used on the DC07, DC14, and DC15 were designed with European carpets in mind, the DC17’s brush roll was designed for North America with a cylindrical shape, a large diameter, and short stiff bristles. A separate motor drives the brushroll, unlike the DC07 and DC14 which use clutches that utilize power from the main motor.
Features
- Mini turbine head
- Cleans pet hair and dirt from tight spaces such as upholstery, stairs and the car.
- Level 3 Root Cyclone™ technology Advanced Dyson Cyclone™ technology. Quick-draw Telescope Reach™ wand Extends instantly for stair and high-reach places. Hygienic bin emptying Minimizes risk of contact with dirt. Lifetime HEPA Air expelled from a Dyson has up to 150 times less bacteria and mold than the air you breathe. Low reach floor tool Cleans hard to reach places such as under low beds and sofas. With mode change for use on carpets and hard floors.

Uprights
Upright vacuum cleaners take the form of a cleaning head, onto which a handle and bag are attached. Upright designs usually employ a rotating brushroll or beater bar, which removes dirt through a combination of sweeping and vibration. There are two types of upright vacuums; dirty-fan/direct air, or clean-fan/indirect air.
The older of the two designs, dirty-fan cleaners have a large impeller (fan) mounted close to the suction opening, through which the dirt passes directly, before being blown into a bag. The motor is often cooled by a separate cooling fan. Due to their large-bladed fans, and comparatively-short airpaths, dirty-air cleaners create a very efficient airflow from a low amount of power, and make great carpet cleaners. Their ‘above-floor’ cleaning power is less efficient, since the airflow is lost when it passes through a long hose.
Clean-fan uprights have their motor mounted after the bag. Dust is removed from the airstream by the bag, and usually a filter, before it passes through the fan. The fans are smaller, and are usually a combination of several moving and stationary turbines working in sequence to boost power. The motor is cooled by the airstream passing through it. Clean-air vacuums are good for both carpet and above-floor cleaning, since their suction does not significantly diminish over the distance of a hose, as it does in dirty-fan cleaners. However, their air-paths are much less efficient, and can require more than twice as much power than dirty-fan cleaners to achieve the same results.
The most common upright vacuum cleaners use a drive-belt powered by the suction motor to rotate the brush-roll. However, a less common design of dual motor upright, often found in commercial vacuum cleaners, is available. In these cleaners, the suction is provided via a large motor, while the brush-roll is powered by a separate, smaller motor, which does not create any suction. The brush-roll motor can sometimes be switched off, so hard floors can be cleaned without the brush-roll scattering the dirt. It may also have an automatic cut-out feature, which shuts the motor off if the brush-roll becomes jammed, protecting it from damage.
Upright vacuum cleaners are best for carpet, say reviews, although most upright vacs can also clean bare floors. However, if you mostly have bare floors with just a few rugs, a canister vacuum is a better choice. Canister vacuums are also easier to carry up stairs or to the garage, though they tend to be more expensive than upright vacuum cleaners. See our separate report on canister vacuums for more information.
