Good vacuum for getting dog hair and dust, it is very loud for a vacuum and it is heavy for a vacuum

If you have pets, children, or both, this vacuum is totally worth the price. Great suction, light weight and doesn’t bind up with dog hair.

What can I say, it’s a Dyson? I actually enjoy vacuuming with this thing. The assembly directions weren’t very clear but I figured it out. It doesn’t work on high pile carpet (a couple of throw rugs the animals like to lay on), but excellent on hard floors and low-pile carpet. It hasn’t clogged once and we have four pets. The attachments are easy to use and work just as well as the vacuum itself. I love this vacuum and would purchase it again.

This is our second Dyson vacuum. The first one died after 8 years of service. This vacuum is even better than the last. Very high suction that gets the pet hair out of the carpet. With 2 dogs and 3 cats it is a must to vacuum a ton in our house. There are a few annoyances with the vacuum. When upright locking mechanism is flimsy and the vacuum easily falls if you do not lock it in just right and is somewhat difficult to get to lock correctly. The hose is another issue. It is also somewhat difficult to get to go into its housing.

Extremely powerful and puts my old Kenmore to shame (which was a consumer reports best buy in 2007). I am happy with the performance as it lives up to the hype. However, many parts are complex and or flimsy plastic that doesn't appear under engineered. They didn't use the best type of plastic and or thickness. For example, the power cord is thick and heavy duty, but flexible at the same time. However, when you wrap it up on the vacuum, the parts they used are flimsy. The vacuum canister has a whole on the side that connects it to the lower brush. There is no physical locking seal. Just a foam ring that will wear out.

I have tried MANY vacuums and finally paid up for this one. It is powerful, surprisingly lighter than competitors and can take heavy duty...I love it!

Has super suction and I have 2 dogs and 2 kids. Had the original one and it took 10 yrs to die. This one is lighter and easier to move around

Lives up to reviews I had read. Prior to using the Dyson, I went over the carpet with our previous vacuum (a high end unit), and the Dyson picked up an equal amount of dirt that was just picked up by the old vacuum. Very satisfied as of now

Love this vacuum - easy to use. Performs well. Highly recommend.

This is an excellent product. I'm just not sure it's worth $378 (price I paid, including tax-during a sale). It is stylish. The clicks it makes when u attach different tools, or functions is satisfying. The suction is so powerful, when using handheld feasture, that u sometimes need to keep a foot on the vacuum to keep it from falling over. I ended up returning the product and bought a shark instead. Dyson is more powerful and is better, but I don't feel it is worth the extra $230. (The shark was the shark rotator lift-away).

I love the ease of use and power of this vacuum. Highly recommend and worth the price of purchase.

Although lightweight,it does a great job! Clean out the collection unit regularly to avoid compaction that requires digging and breathing dust.

Wonderfully easy to use and very powerful. Also a lot quieter than i thought it would be

This is hands down the strongest vacuum I've ever owned and it's easy to use. Almost all the attachments store right on the. Vacuum.

Great suction power and attachments that actually get used. Second Dyson I have bought, and will keep buying them if they work like this one.

Very nice vacuum, but the suction is so powerful that I was unable to push across my across my carpet. I ended up returning it. I ultimately settled on the Shark rotator lift away bagless vacuum which works great and $150 less.

This vacuum cleaner is awesome, really good it just was to big for what I need in the home.

Finally got a vacuum that fits the job. I have to German Shepherds and the Animal 2 picks up all their hair. I was given a DC40 as a house warming gift and it did a decent job in picking up my dogs’ hair, but the wire for the roller brush motor broke so I figured upgrade to the right vacuum. The Animal 2 lives up to the hype. If you have shedders like mine, Animal 2 is the way to go. But beware, I don’t recommend using it on long carpets due to the strong suction. I have short carpet so works out for me.

I have had a purple dyson vacuum for 14 years and it finally needed to retire. It was wonderful except for the rollers that needed to be cleaned from the strings that were around the rolls. I purchased this new dyson with the ball. It is so much easier to use than the old one. So far it’s been a dream to use. Only thing I wish the dirt bin was bigger. Otherwise it is GREAT! especially with my dog that has long hair.

It took me 2 hours to assemble it because the instructions are just pictures and do not indicate necessary steps. It shows to insert the wand into the hose, but does not indicate there is a button that needs to be pushed to allow complete attachment. Words with the details would really help. One piece it showed where it belong but nothing to indicate how. I figured out another piece had to be removed. I has good suction and moves easily from carpet to hardwood to tile. The ball makes it easy to turn and to reach under furniture.
