A:AnswerEX-TV is the model. Truly just match the specs as all are the same with different model information from store to store. This prevents price matching.
A:AnswerI have two dogs of which one is a Great Pyrenees...This model handles her fur easily. The section is very strong so stamped concrete will pose no problem.
A:AnswerI have never had that problem. I used the Animal Dyson for years and now I have the Dyson Ball which I've only used for a couple of weeks but I have not had any problems and love the vacuum.
A:AnswerI was surprised , Yes the only difference that I could find is the one from Dyson.com came with accessories that we would never use.
Also the price was alot more than Best Buy.
A:AnswerThe vacuum exhausts the air on the sides. If you have any dirt on the floor it blows it around while vacuuming. Defeats the purpose of the unit if you have to go over same are multiple times to clean. The hose for the tools is stiff, twisted and too short. You have to lift the entire vacuum up to use anywhere but the floor.
A:AnswerYes, I think the Complete is the Dyson Ball Animal DC65. Assuming that, you can find reviews by searching for Animal DC65: http://primereviews.org/dyson-dc65-animal-vs-multi-floor/. Going with newer models will get slightly lighter. However, you have to go with one of the stick vacuums to get a lot lighter (almost 20 pounds vs. 5 pounds). However, those are going to drop from the 245 air watts of your Animal to the low 100's.
A:AnswerAll the Dyson vacuums are easy to push but some are heavier than others when lifting. The Yellow Dysons seem to be the lightest. I suggest the Dyson -(Yellow) Ball Multi Floor Bagless Upright Vacuum
A:AnswerI don't know. Mine arrived broken and since I missed the return time frame I couldn't get another one. Have never used it but it's the cheapest thinnest plastic ever.
A:AnswerI believe there is a button near the top that releases the canister if it doesn't come loose from a light pull. Once you get the canister off, you just place it upright over a trash and push the button embedded it's handle. Voila!
