I conclude from your statement then that you agree with Oreck that the DC07, DC14, and DC15 were not designed for American carpets. And it took dyson almost FIVE years to make an upright for US carpets. If the DC17 is designed for US carpets, I pose the same question the Oreck customer asked: Why doesn't dyson submit the DC17 Absolute for testing and certification on US carpets by the Carpet and Rug Institute of America? Like all Oreck uprights. My sense is the DC17 and Oreck XL would come VERY VERY close in test comparisons on varoius carpets for cleaning. And it would be very hard to declare an overall winner. Plus the DC17 weighs 21 pounds vice the Oreck which is only 8. Carmine D.
The dc17 is another dyson MISTAKE.If the machine was priced right it may do a lot better.As Mark from florida says The DYSON advertising department is laughfing at you.tHE Dyson absolut is a absolute waste of money.

Hello Mole:
I read Mark's review a while back and it is balanced and objective. The shortcomings with the DC17 are its weight [21 pounds] and price [$549]. Retailers even on this site advertise them new for $440. LNT and BBB consistently [both stores cater to female buyers and users] sell them for 20 percent off [about $440] despite dyson's objectives, so we are told by Airblade, a dyson insider on this site. The DC17 has been in the US since September 2006. I expected dyson to intro a new full sized upright but thought it would be a revamping of the DC17 not the DC15. I was wrong in that regard. Why? The DC17 is the ONE dyson model which most dyson admirers agree [with support from Consumers Report] is the best of the dysons. I didn't expect a recycling of the Ball. I will match the new recycled full size ball with the DC17 and compare. I'm not as excited about the new recycled ball dysons as the posters on this site. I think jaydee will strike out again with the new ball uprights as he done with the DC15. Why? In part the consensus of opinion on the DC15, which next to the DC11, is generally agreed to be the worse of the dyson worse. And CR is part of that consensus. Have to give him kudos for perseverence. His perseverence may not win favor among vacuum users for the new ball generation of uprights. We'll see if the new recycled dyson ball uprights come to US retailers. Carmine D.

Hi all, There was a post a while back estimating the selling of the "ball-ette", the DC 24, and I responded that I felt Dyson would price this mini machine at a higher $250.00 -- even though Miele and Emer ask as high as $350 on their stick vacs. Apologies to all, was I ever wrong. Per the online shop at Dyson's website the DC 24, to be released March 10th, the cost on an advance order is $399.00. I also noted that the handheld "Animal" -- the Root 6 with an added-on motorized brush is set at a going price of $200.00. http://www.dyson.com/store/productmodel.asp?model=DC16 Venson
