    Ran our Shark vacuum over the living room floor a few times. Then, whipped this bad boy out. The amount of hair and dust it pulled out of the carpet was unbeliavable. It fees like it suction cups the ground. Its a beast…just buy it.

    In the best way possible. I have the V10 cordless for hard to reach places, and this beast that does all the heavy lifting. Only con is that its a little heavy for stairs, and the extending hose is a little unfriendly to use. The noise level is much better than most other options on the market. Would reccomend to anyone with pets!

    Extremely thorough vacuum cleaner. Picks up all of the hair from my two dogs on the carpet. I have small kids who play in the carpet, so I want to make sure it is clean for them at all times. This vacuum cleaner helps do the job. my only complaint is that it doesn’t handle stairs very well, even with the manual cleaner.

    I owned the previous generation of the Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner. I am not totally sold on the ball system yet but I have not used it enough to fall in love or hate it. The suction has been improved over the years and I loved the old version. Overall, still a great machine.

    This is absolutely the worst appliance I have ever purchased, It is extremely heavy and I can only use it on the highest carpet setting. The hose with the attachments is short and is restricting. Expensive piece of plastic! This replaced a 30 year old self propelled Hoover which I loved.

    Second Dyson Animal we have purchased. The first one lasted for just a touch less than 10 years with heavy use. Lightweight and easy to maneuver. Picks up pet hair very well. Provides a strong balance between maneuverability and sheer suction power.

    Had a one of the original Dyson vacs before but it broke down and needed replacing. I'm a big fan of Dyson aside from the fact that they're pretty pricey. That said, I went and got this one and was not disappointed. I don't have a pet so I can't comment on the pet hair pick up of this thing but it performs great for me. Whether hardwood or carpet, this thing will grab every little bit of dust, everytime. I don't really use the attachments that much but they work great too. Only gripe is the extended hose. If you're using it to vacuum stairs then it works great. However, if you're trying to use it in smaller, confined spaces then it's almost worthless since it bunches up around the hose end. That said, this thing works great and worth every penny IMO

    I got the vacuum due to my dog. I had a couple carpets that were pretty bad and one I was ready to throw away. After using the Shark Animal 3, the carpets are good again. I was shocked at how well it works.
