Dyson DC17 Animal

Pros: Reliable, relatively quiet, Animal tool, It's a Dyson.

Cons: Price not for everyone, Color scheme better left for a 1965 Barracuda.

The Bottom Line: A great vacuum at a great price.

Review: In the past I have had way too many vacuum cleaners- a vacuum hoarder if you will. It's not that I collect vacuum cleaners per say, but I have always felt that if one breaks I should have at least another five or six to fall back on. Realizing that this ...

Pros: Powerful Suction, Bagless, Helps People With Allergies, Onboard Attachments and Suction Hose.

Cons: Heavy, Pricey but worth it.

The Bottom Line: This vacuum is great for the people that are owned by their pets. The amazing power for picking up dust and fur makes this a must have.

Review: After many years of denying that any vacuum could pick up all of the hair and dirt in our carpets, we finally decided to spend the money on a Dyson. Our carpets are used very hard and the combination of cat hair, dirt and dust from our pellet and coal ...

Pros: Good suction, good tools, good design excellent brush. All around works well.

Cons: Trouble traversing the "lip" between uneven floor surfaces. Can't lie down and get under furniture.

The Bottom Line: Delivers on its promise to deliver YOU from pet hair. Brush roller and suction work GREAT on carpets, with only a few maneuverability gripes.

Review: So far I'm happy with my Dyson DC-17 Animal even though $500 does feel like a lot to pay. It's got powerful suction, a good design, versatile tools, and a robust brush that really gets the grit and hair out of my carpets. Let's get the bad stuff out ...

Pros: really works better than any vacuum out there, many accessories, futuristic design, quiet

Cons: no retractable cord, too many trips outside to empty the canister, no bag for accessories

The Bottom Line: This unit sucks... really well. The 5 year warranty and the amazing performance makes the price worth it.

Review: Imagine using a product that didn't get the job done and getting so frustrated that you were determined to design a new technology and design for a very effective cyclone vacuum. Imagine taking your idea to the major vacuum manufacturers and them ...

Pros: Carpet looks professionally cleaned, crisp lines, fluffed pile. Lighter than my last vac.

Cons: Some don't leave prominent striping, and have less suction. Mini Turbine tool is sub-par.

The Bottom Line: If you are willing to take back an undeclared older model that performs poorly compared to the recently manufactured identical models, this vac is easily worth your money.

Review: Dear prospective DYSON PURCHASER, My name is Jessie. As a self-professed perfectionist, consumer advocate, and stay at home Mommy to a 7 month old little boy who is crawling and rolling about, I consider myself qualified to say this review will be ...

Pros: Excellent filtration, no bags/belts/filters to buy, 5 year warranty, and well designed.

Cons: Hose can pull vacuum along, canister may have to be cleaned occasionally.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this vacuum 

Review: I've had this vacuum for almost a year now and thought I'd share my findings, both good and bad.  Overall, I like the design and features.  It has auto height so you don't have to guess what level your carpet is, and a button ...

Pros: Design, suction, hidden telescoping hose, bottom-emptying collection bin, lifetime HEPA filter, NO BAGS!

Cons: Too pricey for some folks. Hose is not as flexible as I would like.

The Bottom Line: When something is done right, it makes it a joy to use. This vacuum lives up to its reputation as the best of the best. Worth every penny.

Review: Let me start off by stating that I know a thing or two about vacuuming. For two years when I was in high school, I worked as a maintenance guy for a health/racquetball club, and my main duty, obviously, was to keep the place clean. This involved ...

Pros: Excellent Suction, Easy to Use

Cons: Frequency of Canister Emptying, Worthless customer service.

The Bottom Line: Excellent Vacuum, Does not Lose Suction - I am sold forever on Dyson.

Review: Amazing! If I had to sum it up in a single word, that would be my choice word. I had looked at a Kirby, but after weighing the cost with the pushiness and rudeness of the salesperson, I decided not to make that $1800 purchase. Friends ...

Pros: Awesome suction, thorough, great attachments

Cons: Price, poor instructions -> learning curve, have to unwrap cord to use attachments.

The Bottom Line: It was a good purchase, and I would recommend it to someone who has household allergies - clean is important!

Review: INTRODUCTION: the situation, moving on I'm a student currently living at home with my 3 cats, a dove, and a canary. A few years ago I started developing serious allergies. Having been tested, I'm not allergic to anything on your typical panel ...

Pros: Easy to use, great for pet households, no bags to buy.

Cons: Maneuverability is sometimes not the best. Dust can blow in your face at emptying.

The Bottom Line: The absolute best if you have a pet household or just want to get things really clean

Review: INTRODUCTION Have pets? Got lots of pet hair, dander, tracked in dust and dirt from the yard? Then this is the machine for you! My house is filled with pets - two dogs and a cat - and they all shed differently and manage to track in unique ...
