All of your review were very good but not one of them said anything about the adjucstable dails for suction, can you tell me about the dails and were they are at on the head?

As far as I know they are not adjustable I believe they are just a relief valve, they are spring loaded closed.

the dials on the poolmaster 27400 were very easy to adjust how close of a clean I need, either a light clean or a stronger suction clean

Thank you S.A. Friedman, Nicole and E. Bates. I appreciate learning from owners' experience. I live in a remote outpost, a northern fishing village, and the availability of bags mail-order affects my choice of vacuum. The permanent cloth bag sounds good for big jobs (I have two dogs). I'd like to order everything at once, and your information is extremely helpful. Kind regards, tkf

Suction is awesome but you have to clean the filter regularly. When the suction isn't very good that's when you will need to clean the filter. It works great on area rugs!

Well, someone is ranting, but the hundreds of happy Dyson reviewers can't be ignored. I've had the dc17 for over a year. 1) I use the low reach floor tool under furniture. 2) What hardwood attachment? When vacuuming on bare floor, turn the brush bar off. Tada. 3) The hose design is much easier to use, no extension rods to connect. 4) It's 20 lbs, average for the class. There is much heavier. 5) Anything will break if continually abused. I haven't had to use the 5 yr warranty yet. 6) I would seriously take your vacuum off your hands except you seem to have trouble with things breaking on you. Maybe you should stick with the cheap stuff. Hoover's got the Tempo for under $100. Well, someone is ranting, but the hundreds of happy Dyson reviewers can't be ignored.

MichealI was out of town when this request came in. Yesterday I checked out the suction cups. They have no name or country of origin of any kind on them. Nothing on the box or on the cup itself. They do work well, and we have used them for many things other than glass.Rich

One request though. I think, u should make the suction more powerful and it will be for better. Trust me will be for better. Otherwise it's perfect .

I have not noticed any difference in suction, but I'll pay closer attention next time I vacuum to see if there is! (I'm guessing it's a minimal difference, if any, if I haven't noticed it!)

I'm sorry, but we've only been using it for about a week. I can say that in the last week, we have had that same issue. I was hoping it was just am issue with the vacuum getting to know its surroundings, but it seems like that may not be it.

i have never even thought of trying that, but i will give you my unbiased opinion having used them now for a month. I LOVE THESE ATTACHMENTS so perhaps with a lot of duct tape they would work on something else but why buy the best just to jerry rig it? You just click them on and get your biz done with a Dyson vac, which is the best part of doing chores you hate. So while the basic tools would work on anything I don't think the mini vac would as you need a lot of suction. The other two attachments are just better designed for cars than normal vacuum attachments. The third is in a class all to itself. i have never even thought of trying that, but i will give you my unbiased opinion having used them now for a month.

Its a Suction issue. Haven't had this vacuum for 1 yr & its already useless. Local Repair recommends to buy new over repairing. I'm going back to bagged vacuums, This bag less concept has been a nightmare from the getgo

we upgraded to the intex sand filter you would have to look it up but we have no issues with the vacuum it works great and we get good suction using the sand filter. Hope this answers the question for you!

I am go glad I can help.Like you, I use the reviews (recent reviews that is) as a testament to a real user. I will admit I don't know why Amazon doesn't filter out the people who use this avenue to epistolize ridiculous comments that are completely useless! LOLI absolutely adore this little vacuum and it is very strong on suction.You will enjoy it.Tammy

No idea, but performance is probably the real issue & this very compact machine produces an amazing amount of suction. We occasionally have to turn it down to keep it from lifting carpets.

Nope, in a matter of fact this vacuum isn't good for anything... no suction power at all.. now mine's just sitting at the corner collecting the dust.. how ironic..

We used to have a model which attached to our own vacuum but this one, as you are aware, is a canister model. All I can tell you is that we are pleased with this unit and it seems to have plenty of power and suction. This is a great deal more convenient than hauling out the regular vac to hook up to. Good luck.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.
