- I finally put together my "new" Dyson Animal last night. I liked it and am impressed - but not blown away.
I feel like I should be writing 2 reviews - one for the product I received and one for Dyson in general.
I got this remanufactured one and it came in really good condition. I was a little concerned about buying a "used" vacuum, but it came completely repacked and cleaned and you couldn't even tell, except for a few small scratches on the clear dirt canister - which is totally worth the $200 I saved. All the attachements where there and they look brand-new.
I did do the whole "vaccuum with my old vaccum, and then with the Dyson" thing - and it did fill the canister pretty full of really fine dirt (ew). The Dyson is really heavy and awkward to move when it's not running, but it's quieter than my old Dirt Devil.
I have a cat and one heavily shedding, long-haired dog and I am impressed with all the hair it picked up without losing suction (as long as I didn't let the canister get too full). But it's still a bagless so the dirt has to go somewhere. When you empty the dirt canister (which opens at the bottom - very nice), the dirt you've just sucked up flies everywhere... and a couple of times I had to reach in there and grab a chunk that wouldn't shake out. I don't know why I expected the Dyson to magically solve that problem (which I have had worse with my other Bissell bagless), but I was hopefully.
Time will tell if it holds up to the promises.
So I'm giving it 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
Pluses: Very suction-y. Long hose. Quiet (for a vaccum). Lots of attachments. Self-propelled (with brush on). Purple. Space-age design.
Minuses: $$$. Heavy. Awkward. Lots of attachements to keep track of and figure out how to attach. Dirt storm when emptying. Having to vaccum at all. Vague instructions. - 2008-06-06, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great for dog & cat owners
- This vac really takes up the hair and there is no way near the noise of my old vac. The only down of this vac is the instructions are inadequate. I am still not sure how to use some of the attachments.

- DYSON DC17 ANIMAL CYCLONE
- WOW, this vacuum claner sucks(HA)!!! I have two cats and a golden. We did the test - vacuum the carpets with your current vaccum cleaner and then the DYSON. All I can say is WOW!. This machine picked up so much "hidden" hair it was ridiculous. My wife & kid's allergies are already doing better. The only con is the upholstery attachnment. I wish it was motor driven instead of air driven. Otherwise, this is a thumbs up machine!

- Dyson Vaccum Cleaner
- I am very satisfied with the Dyson 17 Vaccuum Cleaner. My Hoover, which I like too, just does not take fully care of my German Shephards dog hair on the carpet. The first time I used the Dyson I could not believe the additional hair I got out of the carpet. I truly can recommend it to everyone.
Sincerely,

- I have been through several cheap and moderate vacuum cleaners over the years. We have several cats and dogs and I found it impossible to really clean my carpets and upholstery. I adore this Dyson. It really does what it says it does. I could not believe how many times I had to empty the cup the first time I used it. My son and my husband were astonished.
It is heavy to use, but well worth the cleaning value. I would highly recommend, and in fact, was so impressed that a friend ordered it as well. - 2008-05-31, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
