Summary: completely satisfied
Comment: I've owned my dyson for a month now and I love it. It is easy to use and empty. I like not having to buy bags for it. Great product.

Summary: First impressions
Comment: After much research and deliberation, we took advantage of a sale and 20% BB&B coupon and got this for under $300. I find it brilliantly engineered and designed. It is all plastic but what vacuum isn't? Assembly and use is intuitive enough that instructions aren't needed (good thing since you don't get much). Emptying canister is a breeze and much more sanitary than our old Eureka uprights or Shark & Bosch canisters. Suction is great, though not revolutionary. Wand works well but was initially tough to get used to. The power cord is very long (which is apparently not the case with the ball). Maneuverability is better than I expected but I might still prefer a canister for our predominately hardwood floors.
Cons: as others have noted, staying upright at rest is dicey-- it hasn't fallen on us but we've only owned it a week. Attachments are few but it has all I need. I wouldn't pay over $300 for this, regardless of how good it is.

Summary: OVERWHELMINGLY POWERFUL / POWERFULLY UNDERWHELMING DESIGN
Comment: The DYSON slim has AWESOME suction, so it's a true shame that there are so many design flaws that hinder that functionality. The most overrated feature seems to be the ball-it is completely useless when trying to maneuver on rugs or carpet- even low pile! The cord has no place to be but underfoot, as the anchors provide no secure mooring. The weight prohibits use by older or less burly customers and the hose attachments are flimsy and work like low-grade product. Additionally, the 'SLIM' still requires a fair bit of furniture moving; the head isn't low profile enough and the maneuverability isn't great. An upright with this rep should be a prouder product; the eco-friendiness of a bagless system is sublimated by the dust and debris that jump out, when simply removing the lid from the bin. This isn't a vacuum for those w/asthma, back or skeletal issues. The motor would make a honkin' go-cart, I'm sure -Too bad the casing is crappy. Less $$$ on ads may be the key to hopping back to the lab for some more design development. I will stick w/ MIELE until DYSON gets it dialed.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: I had heard about the Dyson vacuums and their great reputation. I was truly excited to finally get one. The DC18 is slim and maneuvers in circles and spirals, awesome. I am still not comfortable with how it switches to "stick-mode" automatically because it sometimes does that when I don't mean for it to. Maybe I'll get used to that...

Summary: WOW - Why buy anything other than a Dyson?
Comment: Just purchased my Dyson Slim DC18 all I can say is one word WOW. This was to replace my former 12 year old (!) Eureka World Vac Boss (which used bags) which I was very happy with throughout the years. However recently the Boss detached a few times from the base which is not supposed to happen. We kept reattaching it for a while and it still seemed to work. But after a while you decide it has lived its life. Did my research on buying a new vacuum. Considered an Oreck as they are lightweight but said "no" when I found out the attachment tool is a "backpack" separate apparatus (what?) and also they are pricey. Looked at the Halo but read too many contradicting reviews for the ultraviolet light going out on the bottom and hard to replace the light from manufacturer. Decided on the Dyson Slim and boy am I glad I did! This thing is awesome. I figured the Slim model is perfect for my smaller house and more lightweight than the other Dyson models. I did my one area rug 5'X 7' first, and could not believe how much dirt and grime was sucked up by the vacuum (my kids had been laying and playing on that rug prior to me using the Dyson on it - YUCK) so much that my jaw dropped - the carpet looked like I had just shampooed it. Did the rest of my house. The vacuum is AMAZING. Just got it, so I am on a "high" from it right now. Will try to touch base in a few months on if the "high" I am currently receiving from using this remains. However for right now, I am convinced of one thing, I will be recommending this vacuum to everyone I know who will listen to me rave on and on about it.
