The Dyson Slim DC18 is suitable for all floor types, and weighing just 6.6kg is a good choice for older people or for carrying up lots of stairs. Its flexible steering and narrower width also makes it easy to clean tight spaces. The direct-drive motorised brush bar sweeps the dust and fibres trapped in the carpet pile, into the constant Dyson airflow, and further helped by the Root Cyclone™ technology, which picks up large volumes of dust, without loss of suction. And with no bags or filters to replace, it’s low on running costs. The DC18 has also been given the British Allergy Foundation’s seal of approval, as this Dyson is approved for all allergy sufferers.
