Dyson DC17 Asthma & Allergy
A Certified Vacuum Cleaner For Allergy Sufferers
The Dyson DC17 Asthma & Allergy vacuum cleaner is designed for people who are quite sensitive to dust pollutants and other air allergens.
The DC17 Allergy from Dyson is powered with the Root Cyclone Technology that does not allow anything to be left behind.
Its powerful suction system offers a better cleaning power and with any floor environment.
Dyson's vacuum cleaners are among the first to be recognized by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation both in Britain and America.
The air exhausted from the Dyson DC17 Asthma is actually cleaner than the air that is currently circulating in our environment.
Particularly, there is 150 times less mold and bacteria expelled from the DC17 Asthma & Allergy vacuum than the actual air we are breathing right now.
Aside from that, Dyson DC17 Asthma is a bagless vacuum cleaner. You won't have to buy extra bags to attach into the cleaner as the clear bins allows you to see how the dirt and dust particles are collected from the carpets, rugs, floor surfaces, curtains, and wherever you point it. It also comes with lifetime washable and HEPA filters.

Consumer Review of the Dyson DC17 Asthma & Allergy
The DC17 Asthma and Allergy upright vacuum is nothing short of a miracle. I suffer from a chronic cough (and some mild asthma that I suspect is related to the allergies) that can be attributed to exposure to over seven years' worth of environmental allergies and contaminants in the city of Los Angeles. Nothing seemed to cure my cough--not the asthma inhalers, not Singulair (a prescription drug for allergies that proved useless and even seemed to exacerbate the cough), and not over-the-counter Claritin.My frequent coughs are not the dainty type; rather, they are the severe type--the ones where you cough so hard that your face gets red, you get sweaty, your eyes get teary, and mucus and liquid expel from every bodily orifice. Not a pretty sight, and not too great a feeling either.
Well, after seeking out many recommendations and reading allergy remedies on the internet, there were two overwhelming recommendations:
1) Dust mite covers for the bed (mattress, pillows, and comforter); and
2) a Dyson vacuum (or a similar high-quality type).
I received several personal recommendations for the Dyson vacuum specifically, and after reading the Dyson DC17 reviews on Amazon.com, which unanimously received 5 stars out of 5, I knew this was the vacuum for me.
I used a Bed, Bath, and Beyond 20% off coupon and ended up paying $432.99 total (this includes taxes) for a product that was priced at $499.00 before the coupon. What a deal! Like a bunch of reviewers indicated, I, too, was very hesitant to buy such a pricy vacuum. All my life, I used the cheapos-I usually used a Eureka and, more recently, a Dirt Devil Featherlite, usually purchased at Sears for $50-$80. I had seen the Dyson commercials many times and, while impressed, couldn't help feeling that it was an utter scam to have to pay so much for a vacuum.
Well, the intensity and the frequency of my cough did not appear to abate with the cheap, bagged vacuums. Both allergy and asthma medications did not help (and I really prefer not to be on prescription drugs). My last resort, thus, was a quality vacuum and possibly the dust mite covers.
The Dyson DC 17 Asthma and Allergy Upright really is, simply stated, AMAZING. -Pamela, Torrance, CA
