I bought one of these brand new when they first came out. It was such an improvement over the DC 07 and I kick myself for letting my parents keep it when I moved out on my own. Hands down the best Dyson upright they ever made. I tried various ball models and they all felt like toys in comparison to this DC17. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat if Dyson ever remade this model.
The DC17 is AMAZING! Designed specifically for Wall-to-wall carpeted homes in America! Treasure your find! I just refurbished one from a Customer who purchased it new in 2006-ish! Still going strong! Much better than newer versions, and I have used most!!
I’ve had the dc17 for over 8 years over and yes the bin broke, the brush roll rattles no matter how many times you change it or the belt. Changed the filters. Works amazing just like my shark apex uplight besides the rattle factor. Other than that it’s a tank of a vacuum and works amazing still
I have a dc17 turbo head, and a dc23 animal canister that I love. I've had it since 2011, and it still works great! I want to use the mini turbo head with it, anyone know of any compatible adapters?
