sturdy vac

"Construction was solid and impressive....Maybe this is handy for getting under a few things, but it does me no good when vacuuming a throw rug and it starts to get sucked into the vacuum :) In conclusion the 90 degree bend in the extension hose is the biggest pain in the butt, however the vacuum still does a great job and it came with a lot of attachments so it deserves 4 stars and a recommendation in my opinion"

"Construction was solid and impressive."

"Powerful and sturdy....Seems sturdy and well built!...This is NOT a knock on the Navigator as it is a great vacuum (I gave it 5 out of 5 stars in a previous review) but after some "retraining" of my kids on how to handle a vacuum, rather than buy a fourth Navigator, I spent a bit more for the Rotator Professional"

"Seems sturdy and well built!"

"I love my DY son...Clean to the max...Easy to use and durable...Great vacuum and very durable....The cord is long and nice its kinda heavy so it falls down a lot if I dont click it down right Great for small homes One thing I do not like is that it doesnt hold much dirt My house gets dirty fast so I have to change it a lot I normally change it 3 times because it gets full fast and its only a small area overall I think its a good vacuum for the price"

"Great vacuum and very durable."

"Does a great job...Good sturdy vacuum with strong suction...I like this vacum a lot it can pick up pet hair and has 2 different tubes that goes with it and it is bagless but if you want a good vacuum for a decent price buy this one"

"Good sturdy vacuum with strong suction"

"A good price too...Very easy to use...Very sturdy design, easy to use....That was a durable vacuum!...There are a few areas of all the Dyson uprights that concern me, and this new Animal 2 unit is no different: - The change from upright/storage/beater disengaged mode to lowered and operating on floors is still a rough transition that is evoked manually by pulling down on the handle "tipping" the upright arm backward, releasing a clack latch mechanism and allowing a rocking valve to engage with the main brush head"

"That was a durable vacuum!"

"does a great job...Does a great job...Easy to use with great suction and durability....:) Surprisingly quiet, maneuverable, and sturdy....This thing will pick up all the animal hair everywhere, we have a beagle and a cat that and we vacuum twice a week, and every time we vacuum and empty the canister, it is like dumping out a whole other pet"

"Easy to use with great suction and durability."

"Get the job done...Does a great job...Great product sturdy and compact....It is a pretty sturdy and powerful cleaner....The Vaccum cleaner is good, however when I had to take it to the service representative in Rochester, MN, they did not do a good job, but as a product it is good"

"Great product sturdy and compact."

"Does a great job...Good construction, and okay battery life....It's very durable and it does the job...It doesn't have a power cord that you constantly have to fool with while vacuuming, it's powerful - it has a max setting which zaps the battery quicker but that's ok...this little vacuum could suck the lips off a chicken so you don't spend a lot of time vacuuming"

"It's very durable and it does the job"

"Does a great job...Reliable n very durable!...It doesn't have a power cord that you constantly have to fool with while vacuuming, it's powerful - it has a max setting which zaps the battery quicker but that's ok...this little vacuum could suck the lips off a chicken so you don't spend a lot of time vacuuming"

"Reliable n very durable!"

"Does a great job...My wife loves it...Strong clean and durable item...Light weight and durable....My only gripe is a lot of very important parts of this vacuum are plastic, there's a little latch that holds both half's of the vacuum together, and even that is plastic, they should go with metal or thick aluminum"

"Strong clean and durable item"

"Does a great job...Good for dog hair...Awesome sucking up power and durable....We decided to buy a Dyson, but using the attachments with the Dyson was a pain, you have to pull the wand out of the handle to use them and with a 3 foot non removable wand it's hard to get in tight areas"

"Awesome sucking up power and durable."

"My wife loves it...Does a great job...Great product and so lightweight, yet durable....Everything looks sturdy and well made....I love my dyson v7,it's the best thing I bought so far,it works great an if ur older an have a bad back this is the sweaper u want so light an easy to use an clean.I love it an would buy it again if mine broke an the fact that dyson answers ur questions is great"

"Great product and so lightweight, yet durable."

"In use it's great...Hasnt let me down...Replacement Info: Foam & Felt Filter = Model# XFF650 HEPA Filter = Model# XHF650 Front Soft Brush-roller = Model# 1173FT950 PROS: + Sturdy build quality + Includes a 5 year warranty + Strong suction that continues even when the canister is full + The Dual Roller system works well and does a good job of reducing the tangles from hair & string + LED lights on the handle which are quite helpful when using hand-held attachments + LED lights on the base of the vacuum are bright & functional + All grips are covered with rubber + Power button and carpet length options are easy to access as they are on the handle + 3 Filters work well in removing smells and more particulates than a HEPA filter alone + The vacuum is designed to be able to come apart / open easily....The materials used and construction quality make this feel like a very solid product, unlike many competing products that use thin, flimsy plastic that make them feel like cheap children's toys....A family member testing the unit accidentally sucked up a sizeable cat toy, which was deposited into a large/heavy object trap in the dust cup, allowing for easy (and relatively clean) retrieval"

"Does a great job...Very easy to use...Dyson is durable ....Durable, good strong suction....Pros ------ Extremely easy to maneuver on solid floors (tile, hardwood, etc) Lighter weight due to newer build than DC-07 Powerful suction from a low-clearance head Cons ------- Ball design can make maneuvering on thick carpet more of a chore Dyson still doesn't use a retractable cord design for power cord Older attachments don't fit - not surprised after 12 years of design innovation Overall ---------- If you're looking for a solid vacuum that is easy"

"Durable, good strong suction."

"Very easy to use...I love the lights...Vacuum is durable, sleek and powerful....This comes with a very nice accessory kit which includes an extender, a wall mount, and extender clip that attaches to the vacuum, a nozzle with a sliding brush, and an accessory bag, which is great for storing everything in it"
