Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum Review

When I purchased this vacuum we had a long haired black dog that shed everywhere.  My Hoover just wasn't cutting it, so the woman at the Sears store suggested the Dyson.  After doing some research, I decided to purchase the animal one (purple).  I was totally amazed at how much it picked up, even on areas that I had just swept with my Hoover.  It really gets down into the carpets and gets out the hidden dirt.

Our dog is no longer with us, but my Dyson is still working great.  We have been doing a lot of remodeling in our old house and some work in our new one and we use it everywhere for everything.  It was amazing how much fuzz it picked up from our new rugs in the new house.  Plus cleaning up tons of drywall dust and all the shavings from my husband drilling holes to install things in the cabinets.  I love the long hose as well as the long power cord.  In my new one level house I can vacuum 90% of the house from just one outlet!

The one thing that I would like to see is an extra filter included with the unit.  You never remember to wash the filter until you want to use the vacuum, but then you can't use it when the filter is wet.  Although I did find one at a decent price at Amazon.  Plus I find the beater attachment to be a bit awkward to use.

I am almost wishing it would break down so I could get the new ball model!
