Dyson DC18 Slim Vacuum Review

The DC18 Slim upright vacuum cleaner from Dyson is dubbed the Most Powerful Lightweight by them, and for good reason. It comes with their standard Root Cyclone™ technology, meaning that it won't clog and it will keep vacuuming at max power for prolonged periods of time. Additionally, the DC18 comes with a lifetime HEPA filter that removes more than 99% of the smallest allergens including dust mites and pet dander from your home.

For being one of the lightest upright vacuum cleaners, the Dyson Slim still delivers 200 air watts of power. The result is just as much cleaning ability as the larger and heavier upright vacuums, with much more maneuverability. Here are some of the other features that make this cleaner a popular choice in the fight against dirt today.

While conducting our research for this review we went out to see what others thought of this lightweight Dyson. In a sampling of 87 online reviews, this cleaner received an average score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. One happy owner stated "For a vacuum that's easy to maneuver, easy to clean and maintain, takes up less space, and possesses all the suction power of a regular-sized Dyson vacuum, the DC18 Slim is a hands-down winner." We have to agree with this as we didn't find many things wrong. One small complaint we have is the two attachments that come with the machine. While they are good attachments, we feel that Dyson could have included more given the power of these cleaners. All in all we have to agree with the consensus in that the Dyson DC18 Slim is a great choice in the lightweight upright category. For current low pricing click here.
