The DC18 Slim has more suction than other vacuums

My prior vacuum cleaner was a Kenmore canister which was one of the better cleaners I have owned but it was starting to break down. I was ready to try an upright and the Dyson DC18 Slim caught my eye. I didn't want a big and heavy machine so I was hoping this would be the best solution.

Now I was initially a little unimpressed by the amount of plastic on the outside as I thought it would not hold up to a lot of use but this is not the case. Dyson has been building vacuum cleaners for a while so these machines are quality built. The first thing that really surprised me was the weight. It is quite light for an upright though it still weighs a little more than a canister.

By far the biggest thing this cleaner has going for it is the suction. It really picks up the dirt, I can say that with no doubt. When I first started vacuuming our rugs it pulled up more stuff than any of my other machines did and you could really tell the carpet was much more clean than before. The Dyson Slim picks up dirt and dust so fine that you cannot see it but you know the HEPA filter is doing its' job.

One thing that disappoints is the attachments. It does come with two attachments that work good, I feel that at the cost of this vacuum it should also have the low reach tool that they want to charge you more for.

The bottom line is our family loves this lightweight upright. It cleans very well and the lifetime HEPA filtration is a nice feature as I was spending $20 or so every six months on my other vacuum cleaner. Hopefully it will hold up over time but I am confident that I made a good purchase. I recommend this to others.
