 Simply the best September 6, 2010

I had an older generation animal upright... it worked perfectly and the only reason I didn't keep it is that I moved from a country that didn't have the same voltage so it wouldn't have worked here. I was skeptical about a cannister vac since I'd only had uprights. I deliberated for about six weeks after we moved, using a borrowed hoover, which in my opinion just pushes the dirt around a little. I read lots of reviews online and eventually was deliberating between the dc17 animal and the dc23 turbinehead. I didn't want the motorhead because one of my issues is that I didn't want the noisy head - I have a bulldog who goes ballistic about vacuum cleaners.
I'm an ebay gal so got it there for $300, shipping included. It still has the 5 year warranty from dyson, so no risk. I unpacked it on a Friday afternoon and vacuumed the whole house. Bear in mind I've always had a dyson. I LOVED it. Much lighter than the upright and so manoeuverable... and it sits on the stairs! In my opinion way better than the one I had before. And the thing can suck... we emptied the cannister twice. Note that it didn't lose any suction when it was full. The motor was not particularly loud - again, much quieter than my upright.
As far as the criticism I've seen here, I can't relate. The power button is near the floor - give it a push with your toe, for heaven's sake. Also the head slots neatly into the front of the dyson, so storage is no issue. Quite honestly it's an attractive machine. Also, for the person who complained that it spits dirt... I didn't find that at all as long as you keep the head flat on the floor and don't tilt up the back of it (duh).
In short, amazing. I imagine I'll be keeping it till it falls apart, which will hopefully be a long time from now!
1st Canister Vac for me July 19, 2010

My New Dyson DC23 Canister Vac is a 1st time adventure with a canister for me except from 40 years ago. I researched canister Vacs prior to my purchase & although I did not find much input from rating sites on this model, I was able to gather some data that convinced me that the Dyson would be a good choice for me. I have had it just a few weeks but feel that I made a good choice. It is easy to use, has a lot of suction, tools connect & disconnect easily. The dirt cup & filter are so easy to empty & clean. I own numerous Vacs including 2 Dyson uprights, an Oreck & a Kirby. Each of them performs floor cleaning well but I dislike the hand tool fiasco with them. This Dyson Canister may not totally replace my uprights but it certainly is a good addition to my "fleet" of Vacs.
Best canister EVER! July 17, 2010

Wow! I rarely review things on Amazon and give them five stars, but in this case I really wanted to give five stars to this product. First of all, the suction is unbelievable; I think it could suck the design off of the dinner plates. I have a long-hair cat and a Golden Retriever, both hairy beasts. I used to use one of those 'rubber brooms' to go over the rugs first to get up most of the cat and dog hair; then I would vacuum with the old canister (the Royal I paid $650 for), and then I would use a lint roller to get the rest..
Tangent:
Here's something I found out by accident about Crocs (and other shoes like them). If you have short-nap carpet you can drag your feet around on the carpet, and the Crocs will ball up the dog and cat hair; I often did that prior to vacuuming with the expensive Royal canister vacuum.
With the new Dyson canister vacuum there is no need for any of the extra steps. My carpet is short nap and dense, and the Dyson has so much suction that I use the relase switch to cut down on the suction when I'm moving the vacuum back and forth. I'm so impressed with this thing. I paid around $400 for it, and compared with two others, each over $600, it's unbelievably cheap.
It seems sturdier than the other canisters, and it's very easy to put the attachments on, and to empty the canister. The clear plastic canister is great and you can see exactly when it's time to empty it, and you can empty it in seconds; no bag to carefully pull out while dirt fall out onto the floor, and no bag to try and wrangle back into the vacuum, and no bags to track down and buy. It's short and fat, and doesn't seem to tip neary as much as some other others. It's also a lot shorter and narrower than the old one and can easily be maneuvered around. I will most likely buy the small power-head for furniture in the near future as well.
Clearly I'm impressed with this vacuum, and have already recommended it to others.
Pleasantly surprised and satisfied July 5, 2010

After reading all the reviews, we decided that we wanted a Dyson vaccum. Problem is, we couldn't decide between the DC 14 (Upright) or the DC 23 (Turbine head, Canister). After comparisions and a visit to the store, we finally decided to go with the DC 23, and have been very satisfied with the purchase. We love the fact that it is lightweight, and the brush bar reaches under our computer hutch, cabinets and beds. The wand and brush bar is easily manueverable, and I did not tire as quickly as with our previous upright. While we were concerned that the (dust)bin capacity is less than the DC 14, filling it too quickly wasn't a problem, since we have hardwood floors, few rugs and no pets. This little machine might be smaller, and lighter, but it sucked up a lot of dust we didn't realize we had. It picked up a lot of stuff!! We also learned that with a pull of a red button on the side of the brush bar, the turbine brush head will turn with air suction,to be used with carpets/rugs. You can switch that off with hardwood floors, stopping the turbine brush head. Emptying the canister was also a piece of cake. Putting the entire vaccum together, right out of the box was quite easy. Yes, storing it was a little tricky, but it is a small price to pay for its performance. To top it all off, we bought our DC 23 vaccum on sale for $350 including tax. All in all, we are impressed and satisfied with our DC 23 purchase, so far it has done what we wanted it to do and more.
Excellent machine July 1, 2010

My wife was just raving about it tonight, she said the stairs looked like new after a few minutes with the Dyson.
