- Outstanding...
- Ok, I never expected this vacuum to leave the little suction marks that you would see in longer carpeting on my tight burbur carpet! You can actually FEEL the difference in socks when you walk in a spot you've just vac'd compared to a spot that you did not! AMAZING and highly recommended!! Just make sure if you buy a remanufactured one that it comes with at least 6 months warranty. If you buy the extended service plan from amazon, it is only valid if the product has some sort of warranty of it's own.

- Do not buy!
- This vacuum cleaner ruined my hardwood floors! After calling Dyson they told me to turn off the bare floor mode which is the brushbar (it does not explain this in the owners manual) so I did and vacuumed my floor again and the vacuum still scratched my floors all OVER! It also ate part of my rug and the turbine head ( which is used to vacuum couches) pulled threads off of my couch. You need to wear a mask when you empty the canister because dust gets everywhere. I have called Dyson and they take zero responsibility for my rug, floors and couch being messed up. They told me to take my complaint to the store which I have purchased their product.

- Not Hype - Lives up to expectations
- Three years ago, I researched vacuum's and followed consumer reports suggestions of Dyson's are overrated and too pricey for the results. I went and purchased a Hoover Bagless WindTunnel, which was one of the number one vacuum's which picked up more dirt than any other tested vacuum.
The vacuum never really impressed me but got the job done so i thought. After about 2.5 years, the suction in the Hoover was next to none coming from the base. I would run over a thread and it wouldn't pick it up. I used the hose and within inches it would pick it up. With 2 big dogs in the house, this was a problem.
Back to the drawing board for a new vacuum. Decided to pursue the Animal versions of the Dyson. Read and found that this particular model is the better one for American houses, allergies, and pets. The DC17 has the American beater bar which is tougher for American carpets vs the European beater bar on all the other models. It was the best one in keeping the air clean. I couldn't at this point justify purchasing a brand new one, so I went the refurbished route because my experience with refurbished electronics has been successful.
I got the dyson very quickly from amazon with every part you could think of and the full cleaning kit. Hooking it up was very easy despite reviews saying that the instructions were hard to figure out and that they couldn't put their vacuum cleaner together.
So far so good! Now to see what this baby can do... After three buckets of dog hair/dirt and the carpets looking the best they have looked in 3 years... I wanted to get on amazon.com and write this review right then... Hands down, Dyson is not just hype - it lives up to what it they say they came to do "make a better vacuum"! - 2008-08-25, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Love the Animal!
- The Dyson Animal DC17 does a great job, much better than my previous vacuum, picking up pet hair. It is also much easier to empty. I love it!!

- Got all the cat hair--Black shirt test
- This vacuum is just as advertised. We have two cats and it sucks up all the cat hair on the carpet. I can roll on the floor with a black shirt after vacuuming and be cat hair free. Amazing!
It's also great to hear that Dyson himself looks out for the little guy. Unlike other vacuums companies, there are no expensive filters or bags to buy--where other companies make their money. All you do is take out the filter after 4-6 months, wash it and dry it. Then you are back to good.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a vacuum. Money well spent! - 2008-08-14, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
