Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Reviews

I received this vacuum as a Christmas present around 6 years and have never had any problems with it.  I love it.  It picks up everything  It never looses suction.  The dust cup is very easy to empty.  It's very easy to take apart to clean if needed.  I would recommend this vacume to anyone, whether you are a pet owner or not.  I never see any dust particles floating in the air like you do when you use other vacuums.  I have occasionally had to take some pieces off to clean, such as the guard around the brush to get the hair from around the roller, but it's a snap.  It has a long extendable...

I have five cats and there is always cat hair everywhere.  Actually, you can sometimes find, in a corner somwhere, a hairball that is so large that you actually think it is another animal!  Oh, how awful!!  It didn't seem to matter how often I vacuumed, there was always cat hair around, until I found the Dyson DC17 vacuum.  I had heard that it was a good vacuum but I was a little hesitant to spend close to $500 on a vacuum.  However, I bit the bullet and bought one about eight months ago and I can say, without hesitation, that this is the best vacuum I have ever owned.  You can actually see...

Summary: This is arguably one of the best "bagless" household vacuum cleaners money can buy. Dyson's root cyclone technology really does perform. And this latest Level 3 Root Cyclone trumps even its other models.

If you're serious about having a real clean environment, this is THE product to buy. I just moved into an apartment a month ago and they replaced the carpets in most of the area and steam cleaned the others that they deemed need not be replaced. I used the vacuum in both and I can tell you that steam cleaning old carpets may get rid of surface dirt and stains, but Dyson is your friend...

I got this model of Dyson over 5 years ago and while it's looking a bit beat-up, it's still in use and still has the power.

After having a Dyson, I don't think I could ever trust any other vacuum. This thing has suction! It pulled dust out of my carpet that had obviously been in there for years. I couldn't believe what it pulled out. I had to empty the vacuum frequently at first, until it got that old dust up out of the carpet.

Besides the great suction, the best thing this vacuum has is a super-simple way to empty the cannister. You remove it, hold it over the garbage can, pull a trigger, and...

Although this vacuum may be expensive, it is well worth the money. The first day I had the vacuum, I vacuumed my entire house, from ceilings to the floor. I am not exaggerating when I say I vacuumed for eight hours straight, not necessarily because my house was dirty but because the vacuum is so versatile and convenient and because my previous vacuum missed so much. Also, Dyson customer service is worth the money itself. I have a two year old who thinks the vacuum is a toy and I had something stuck on the belt and didn't realize it. I called Dyson C.S., and they walked me through each process until...

This is by far the best vacuum I have ever owned, and I have owned a LOT of vacuums. We live in an old ranch house, with 30 year old carpets, so it has a BIG job to do. Oh and did I mention that we had 8 kids, and now 15 grandkids?! And, of course, inside dogs and cats?! Plus our corrals are right outside the back door, so all of that gets dragged right in. This vacuum handles all of it. I have to empty the canister after each room of course, but mine is 3 years old now and still running well. If and when it conks out I'm heading straight back to buy another Dyson Animal. Thanks Dyson!
