Summary: Dyson DC17 Animal
Comment: Great vacuum, but the attachments will not stay attached to the vacuum. Design flaw?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great vacuum and great customer service
Comment: After owning this vac for about a year we broke the belt. I was on the phone with Dyson for less than 15 minutes total to have a new belt and brush roller bar sent to us. The woman on the phone was super nice and apologized for any inconvenience. I couldn't be happier with the customer service! It turns out that I forgot to register the cleaner; if I had they would have sent this belt and roller sooner since they have "enhanced" them since production. What a great company!
This vacuum cleaner is WORTH EVERY PENNY! This vacuum really SUCKS, in a good way. It is also very easy to use, our 9 and 7 yr old vacuum with it and even use the attachments. Although on first use I did have to actually read the manual to figure out the attachment hose. We have 2 dogs with a lot of hair and this vacuum keeps up, no problems.
It has even helped clean up after a hurricane!
I highly recommend this product and would definitely buy it again.

Summary: Gets the job done and some
Comment: I bought this vacuum because we have two cats and I needed a machine that has attatchments that actually work. When I got the vacuum i wanted to see how much it picked up as comared to my old one which is a Fantom. The fantom has more suction than anything I had used before so I thought this would be a good test. I wnt over my carpet with the Fantom and then went over it again with the Dyson. The Dyson picked up twice as much dirt as the Fantom on the second pass. Is the Dyson expersive, sure is, but it gets the job done and then more. I am a Dyson customer for life.

Summary: Great
Comment: This by far the best Vacuum I have ever owned. It made my carpet look like new again.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It can vacuum, but not the best design
Comment: First let me say this vacuum can really pick up the dirt compared to other vacuums I have purchased, but the design, which is supposedly the key to Dyson, is actually not that great.
We have had numerous problems with the brush design that just gets clogged with hair (we have 2 long haired dogs), and eventually (even without hair) there is an unbearable vibration and sound that comes from the vacuum brush. We have replaced the brush and belt twice and taken it to a repair store to try to get fixed, but to no avail. It's a plastic brush roller so I guess you should be aware that won't last that long.
I find it asinine that to get the vacuum from the upright position you have to reach your foot around to the front and hold it down, and then pull the handle down. This is extremely clumsy and unnecessary.
The extension pole while conveniently put away in the handle, it is extremely difficult to use. Also with this vacuum forget about getting under beds or furniture because it has a high profile that prevents this. The upper cyclone has to be cleaned frequently because it does get clogged. It edges horribly, so you can forget about that.
When we took the vacuum to the repair store they recommended a Sanitaire from Electrolux, which is a commercial grade vacuum. While simple, it is just a phenomenal vacuum. Comparing the Sanitaire to the Dyson, the Sanitaire has 2 motors one for the brush and one for the vacuum, A STEEL brush roller, significantly quieter, extremely long cord (which makes a difference), low profile to get under furniture, edges great and vacuums dirt better than the Dyson, the bags are the easiest to put replace compared to any any vacuum we have ever had. The only downside you have to go to a vacuum specialty store to get it.
Compare that list to the Dyson and there is no way I could even recommend a Dyson. Especially when you can get a commercial grade like the Sanitaire at the same price point.

This Animal is on the prowl, searching high and low for dust, dirt and pet hair to destroy. The product of over a decade of research, Dyson Root Cyclone technology doesn't lose suction and has the highest average pickup across all floor surfaces, while improved ergonomics and usability makes vacuuming less of a chore. Fingertip brush control turns brushbar on and off at the touch of a button to protect rugs and delicate floors Quick-draw telescope reach extends instantly for stair and high reach cleaning Lifetime HEPA filtration for cleaner expelled air - Expels clean air with 150 times less bacteria and mold Certified asthma and allergy friendly according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America
