Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum Review

I live in a home with 4 cats. That's right. Four cats. We used to own a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and it was a disaster, especially when it came to emptying the canister. I always felt like we were putting dust and pet dander right back into the air, and it really bothered me.

Then, three years ago, I was about to have my first child and I went on a cleaning rampage. We had the ducts blown out and got an air purifier, and I finally decided to get a Dyson DC-14 Animal for the carpets. What followed could only be described as "Vacuum Fest 2006." I could not stop vacuuming. Carpets! Hard floors! Stairs! I must have emptied the canister four times that first night, and each time I emptied it, it just went POP! right into the garbage can. It was a beautiful thing. Stairs were suddenly no problem with the 17 foot telescoping wand. I was 9 months pregnant and in vacuuming heaven. 

It is three years later and although I do not have Vacuum Fests in the same way as I did three years ago, my Dyson is still going strong, keeping my carpets as free of pet hair as I could ask for.
