@vacboi98 The DC18 has 200 airwatts of suction, the DC24 has 120 airwatts, so the DC18 is quite a bit more powerful. You only really notice it when using the tools, though - the DC24's smaller head focusses suction more intensely on the carpet, giving it the same pick-up as a full-size cleaner.
I'm thinking about buying this machine off the net as I may not bother to replace the motor in my Dydon DC04. I only just thought about it and realised that the DC18 wasn't on the market very long. Why do you think Dyson didn't keep it going like the DC07, DC14 for example as the DC18 looks like a great machine.
Well I think it was made redundant by the DC24, which must have already been in development when the DC18 was launched.
The point of the DC18 was to be light and compact - and the DC24 is even lighter and even more compact! So the DC18 found itself made obsolete pretty quickly.
It's a shame; I really like the DC18 - more than the DC24, in fact!
does it fliter the dust and allergens (pollen, pet dander etc) well? i have some pretty bad allergies and some of my vacuums are hard for me to use because of them
the only thing about dyson is and mom and i have talked about this is theres no headlight you never realize how much you use it till, you need it, oh and it doesnt have that killer growl the hoovers do
I'm not sure why Americans like headlights so much! No cleaner in Britain come with headlights, other than the Vax Mach series, which are just re-badged versions of US Hoover cyclonic machines!
When I'm using a cleaner without one, I don't miss it. But I agree. The Dyson lacks the 'Beats....as it Sweeps...as it Cleans' growl!
nope thats what i miss about the windtunnel the big growl it had, but i guess if you grow up never really having a headlight on a vac, i guess youd be use to it but the dyson is the first vacuum weve owned that doesnt have a headlight
I remember once when I was very young and my parents owned a Turbopower U2332 - I went up to my Dad and asked "why does the vacuum have a light on it?"..his responce? "In case you're vacuuming in a power cut!"...it took me YEARS to get what he meant by that lol.
I just bought one of these and i was wondering how strong is the suction. Is it a bit stronger than the dc24 or evan more.

My DC18 is about a year old now. I like him a lot.
I took him to a friends cabin with dogs that destroyed all the nice rugs solid with hair, and nothing they used worked.
The hair was so embedded, it looked impossible from all summer that way.
The DC18 made them all look like new.
But some people, they simply can wreck a good hammer.
Obama should force new rule for these people. Allow them only industrial shop vac with no moving parts that can suck a clogged toilet clear.

Has this one got Samsung motor in it like the DC27?
blakaeg 2 years ago
Nope, it has a Panasonic motor in. I believe the DC27 is the first to use the new Samsung motor.
