 There's vacuuming, and then there's vacuuming w/ Dyson! December 1, 2008
E. Wardojo (Conway, AR USA)
When our old venerable Kirby vacuum bit the dust (after so many years of good service) and my wife suggested Dyson, at first I was real reluctant because I could easily bought 2 vacuum cleaners for 1 Dyson. But after reading a bunch of reviews online about Dyson, I thought to give it a chance. Thus far, it has proven to be a great bet. I actually enjoy vacuuming now because I feel like I actually clean our carpet w/ the DC17. In my opinion our investment of $319 for this DC17 is well-worth it.

It works, and it works well- very well. My wife is a stickler for cleaning our carpets. Our dog, a short-hair, does her best to contribute to the cause. Our previous vacuum was a Eureka Sanitaire. I've seen my wife vacuum the living daylights out of the carpeting with it only to follow up with a canister unit until she was satisfied. So when this Dyson arrived I felt that there wouldn't be much left for it to pull out. In less than a minute the Dyson was full of dog hair.
Wow.
There's a lot of plastic in the construction, but it appears to be "well done plastic."
If you want an upright that will take the dog hair out of your carpet, it's hard to believe that any product could do it better than the Dyson DC17 "Animal." It really is that good.

My wife and I thought our old vacuum was fairly decent. We own an American Eskimo ,which if your not familiar with the breed, sheds a ton with it's long hair. After opening our new Dyson DC 17 Animal we've come not to expect too much of any vacuum since owning our dog. We were happily proven wrong! This Dyson made our old vacuum look like an ancient artifact picking up the dog hair from the thick carpet plus the old dust that our old vacuum never had picked up. This was great!! I have a dust allergy and I've even noticed a decrease in my reaction because of the dust it has pulled from the carpet. BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY if you have a pet. It's backed by a 5 year warranty if you buy it new!! If you don't buy new be sure to pick up a warranty for it just in case. This vacuum has some serious power! Worth every dollar! Thank you Dyson!
Dyson's Animal Rocks! November 26, 2008

I have had the Dyson Animal DC17 for about a year now. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. I was so fed up with hair everywhere. I was giving serious thought to shaving them all bald, and got a Dyson as a last resort.
Today, the animals are intact, the house is clean, and I am one happy woman. I love this machine.
I love how the hose nozzle pops out without having to attach anything so I can get all the edges and corners without missing a beat, and the hose itself is so long, I can do the whole staircase without dragging the vacumn up the steps behind me.
The attachments are so easy to slip on and off. The mini-rotating head attachment is fantastic on steps and furniture. I've had this type of attachment on other vacumns, but they never worked well. This one sucks hard! I bought a bunch of extra attachments but really, the ones that come with it are all you need unless you turn into a vacumning addict, like I seem to have become, thanks to Mr. Dyson and his Fabulous Animal! About the only things in the house I don't clean with the Dyson are the dishes and the toilets.
Turn off the rotating bar for suction-only with one push of a button, and it cleans my hardwood so well, it feels like satin under my bare feet. Or use the bare floor attachment. (That one is great, because it lays flat, you can get under the table, sofa, bed, etc.)
It's easy on the shoulder & arm, as it's self propelled, and the long power cord is fantastic, can get several rooms without moving the plug.
The dust bin pops off and empties with a push of the thumb. With the amount of hair and yuck I pulled out of the carpets the first few times I used it, I took the cannister apart and cleaned it really well. It was simple to take apart and put back together, like a child's puzzle toy. Very basic.
Still not sure? Well, go ahead and buy one. If you don't like it, you can return it for a full refund. It has a 5 year warranty. Oh- if you are worried about repairs, don't be. I called the service dept once with what turned out to be a stupid question...but the lady who answered knew the machine backwards and forwards, and was nice as could be about it. I wouldn't hesitate to call again. She answered the phone right away, too. If it's something they can't fix over the phone, they actually arrange to pick the vacumn up at your house and take it in for repairs for you! Wow. Fabulous service.
I have never had a belt break or any parts break or come loose, and I use it several times per week, over about 3000 sq feet of house. It gets a lot of use, and it's held up like a champ. I've caught my fair share of drapery cords, sheet corners, towels, etc. in it but no harm done.
I wouldn't take another vacumn if you gave it to me for free. In fact, after using the Dyson for a few days, I took the 5 (!!) other vacumns I had out to the curb and put a "free" sign on them. There was a very expensive Wind Tunnel, a Eureka, a Dirt Devil, and a few other Hoovers. I had so many because I had to keep buying new ones every 6 months or so as they all lost suction thanks to the zoo I have here... I kept planning to take them in somewhere to be professionally cleaned, some day, but never got around to it. Now I won't use anything but the Dyson; it rocks!

I just received my Dyson yesterday. I am amazed (and embarrassed) how much dirt and dog hair it picked up. I did a once over in my living-room, bedroom and office and managed to almost fill the canister. My Hoover would only wrap the dog hair around the brush. It didn't pick up much. The Dyson was also easier to push around than my self-propelled Hoover.
In comparison, the Dyson does its job better, is quieter and easier to push around than my Hoover.
The only complaint I have is that the "instructions" that came with it were minimal at best. I went to Dyson's website to see if they had more in-depth instructions on what each attachment was for and how to attach it. Nothing there. My daughter has a Dyson so she came over to show me how to use them.
My daughter has had her Dyson for several months and she loves hers also. I highly recommend this product.
