Dyson - HEPA Animal Vacuum - Purple

Okay, I've had my Dyson Animal for over 2 years now. I purchased it because 5 cats own me, and I needed to make sure my carpet didn't look like it! As my cats don't really get on the furniture, I didn't need it for this, But it works great getting hair off of curtains as well. I saw this Dyson advertised on t.v. and I thought that it would do the trick for me, so into my Best Buy I went and purchased it. It was for my birthday, yes, I know, you aren't supposed to ask for appliances for your birthday, but I wanted it SOOO bad. It was worth every dime, I didn't get it on sale, I have lent it to my son, my family and my neighbor and everyone loves it. My neighbor wanted one herself and could afford it, but wound up with a lesser brand, lesser price, lesser value, and she will replace that vacuum long before I have to replace my Dyson. She settled to save money, but her vacuum doesn't do the trick like the Dyson. Long story short I have never had a problem with it, I use it all of the time, I love the power it has and I frankly just couldn't live without it. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and some may think this vacuum is too pricey, but it is well worth the cost and is so easy to empty, to clean, to maintain. Every single curve has a way of opening so you can get a blockage out if you needed to. I have never had to. This was my best birthday present ever!!!

I bought this vacuum after Christmas. I had been debating on whether or not to buy such an expensive vacuum. I have a shetland sheepdog that loves to shed everywhere and wanted a vacuum to help pick up all of his hair. This vacuum does the job and so much more! It is so easy to use and makes my carpets feel like new! It vacuums tile and picks up everything on the floor! I love the container and how easy it is to empty. My other vacuums I had to use my hands to get all of the stuff out, but this contianer is so easy and you don't have to get your hands dirty! The hose is a little hard to learn to use, but once you get the hang of it, it works great! I would recommend this vacuum to anyone who has pets.

This thing works wonders at picking up fur from our two dogs. The attachments are excellent and a wide variety of them from small ones that get into corners and big ones that help getting under beds and such. When we first got it my wife and I both wanted to clean the house with it and when we did it made our carpet look better than ever. Easy to empty waste and also easy to remove parts to get a jams and clogs. The only problem I have with it is that it make a horrendous noise when I vacuum certain types of floor mats that have a more fuzzy exterior to them. It doesnt damage the machine or the mat but it very loud and painful to hear. But that is no reason, in my opinion, to not get one of these.

Great vacuum... probably one of the best that I have ever owned. Great power and versatility. I have had this vacuum for approx 2 + years now and have put it through quite a bit of abuse. I am in need of ordering some new parts for it due to wear and tear. (Canister no longer stays shut when removed, & extension hose split) This could have been due to abuse though and in no way would prevent me from buying another Dyson. PROS: Suction, long extension hose, attachments, easy to clean CONS: None

When our vacuum unexpectedly broke right before I moved out of our apartment, my girlfriend said" Hey I'll borrow my parents." It happened to be the Dyson Animal. I was AMAZED at how effortlessly it picked up cat litter, hair, beach sand and anything else in its path without clogging. I was more amazed at how much it picked up compared to what I got with my other vacuum. The attachments are great also because you don't have to store them seperatly in a closet they were right there on the machine. The crevise tool was great around the baseboards also, and again I never knew that my vacuum was missing so much,especially since it had only been a week since I'd vacuumed. After the move I bought the animal ball and I now will come home and vacuum daily sometimes just to see how much hair and dirt is left from the day before, which is now usually half of what it was with the old vacuum. I have friends who have dysons too and do the same thing because they now realize how much you can track in (even if you leave shoes at the door and don't have animals) over a weeks time.

I've had this item for 3 years and love it. I am an animal lover and pet hair accumulates daily. The Dyson Animal picks up hair that my old vacuum missed. The ease in emptying the canister directly into the garbage and maintainance of the vacuum is simple. Due to allergies, I only have a few area rugs, the Dyson vacuums them like new. I highly recommend it to everyone.

This vacuum works amazingly well for picking up hair and it is incredible (and sometimes scary) to see how much stuff it picks up. A must-have for pet owners and people with vacuum-clogging hair as well. The hose is not designed that well though and is difficult to use in small areas.

Overall, this is a great vacuum. After cleaning carpet wth it, the carpet actually feels different as if the vacuum even fluffed it up. It picks up great, and the onboard attachments are really useful.
