Adjustable Brush
-
The DC28 has easily adjustable brush bars. You can adjust the brush bar to clean bare floors or short-, medium- or deep-pile carpets. This prevents you from unnecessarily brushing wood or ceramic floors, which can scratch these floors. Additionally, there are certain types of carpets that can be ruined if you use the brush bar when you are vacuuming. The DC14 does not have adjustable brushes.
Root Cyclone Technology
-
Both the DC28 and the DC14 vacuums have root cyclone technology. This is patented technology that prevents the vacuum from losing suction. Though both machines possess this technology, they do have different levels of suction power. The DC28 has 245 air watts, while the DC14 has 250 air watts.

Pet Cleaning Capabilities
-
The DC28 is specifically designed for cleaning carpets in homes with pets. The vacuum has a mini-turbine head, which pulls even fine pet hair from the carpet. It is also small enough that you can use it to clean crevices and difficult to reach areas. The DC28 has an air filter that cleans the air before expelling it, eliminating dust and allergens from the home environment. The DC14 is capable of cleaning thicker pet hairs, but has no special pet cleaning capabilities.
Stair Cleaning Capabilities
-
Both the DC28 and the DC14 have a quick-release wand that allows you to clean in crawlspaces and on stairs in places that are hard to reach. The quick-release wand has a release catch on the top of the handle. Open the catch and remove the wand to vacuum small areas. You can also choose to use one of several hose attachments. The DC14 comes with a brush and a stair or crevice tool, while the DC28 comes with a stair, combination, mini-turbine head and a flat-head accessory. Flat head accessories have one long head that will vacuum a wider area than the rounded end of the hose.
Ban Capacity and Dimensions
-
Both vacuums have different sized bins. The DC14 has a .71-gallon bin capacity, while the DC28 has a .61-gallon bin capacity. This means you will have to clear the DC14 bin less often. The DC14 vacuum is slightly larger than DC28, but the DC18 is heavier.
