I have had my Dyson Animal for about 2 years now, and use it every day. If someone wanted to take it from me, they would have to pry it out of my COLD DEAD HANDS! I have many birds, a dog, and several cats. You can probably just imagine what a ZOO this house would be, except for my Dyson! I had a Hoover Wind Tunnel for about 5 years before I bought the Dyson. it had to go to Sears twice for repairs (at $100 each, I should have just gotten the Dyson...) I finally gave in to the Dyson Hype and bought the Animal through a good deal at Sears; before I gave the Hoover away I vacuumed the living room and my bedroom with it one last time. The dirt sensor didn't show anything else, so I then plugged in the new Dyson and went to town. YUCK!! I filled the canister on it within just a few minutes, it was that good! The poor Hoover Wind Tunnel just couldn't compete so I gave it away. I'm still using my Dyson every day, and I've had no trouble with it at all. I love the easy attachments, I can switch to baseboards or blinds in seconds! If my Dyson were a guy, I'd marry him!

I love my Dyson. I have had it about 4 years and it still works fantastically!!

I recently received the animal and I Love it!!!!! Unbelievable how much dust it sucked out of my couch!!!! I think it has made my house much cleaner! I use it everyday as I enjoy seeing all the dust it picks ups!!!!!

I love my Dyson. I have had it for 7 years now and just can't imagine life without it. If it came down to a choice between my huband or my Dyson it would require serious thought! I have never had any issues with it and it is still picking up all the doghair in my house like a champ! I am an obsessive vacuumer and use it daily...if anything ever happens to it I will definitely buy another.

We love our Dyson!! It's the best vacuum we have had. I love the fact that it is bagless. We are actually on our second one, due to an unfortunate incident with my son moving the car after cleaning it. Oops! But wouldn't of bought any other brand!

With 3-8 kids running amok in my house, 1 double coated dog, 1 fat cat, and 6 chickens living in my all dirt backyard, my Dyson Animal vac SAVES MY LIFE! I have to vacuum way more than a normal person should ever have to and this vacuum CLEANS! It is so awesome. The ONLY complaint that I have about it is that it is heavy, but, I will put up with a heavy vacuum that works as well as this one! Thanks Dyson for making a WONDERFUL Vacuum!

OK my Dyson is the one electronic in my house my husband dares not touch. I practically worship that thing. I had read reviews online before about them and thought that is was just not true because of the price BUT I finally broke down and got one and let me tell you I'm in love. It got up so much dirt and dust that my previous vacuum just missed. I empty the tank out so much while vacuuming but it's a burden I'm glad to bare! My husband has terrible allergies and with 2 long haired dogs it's just rough but with the Dyson animal it has dramatically decreased his allergy issues.

I've had my DC17 for 6 years now. No issues or complaints to speak of. We have three busy kids, no pets, but I would recommend this vacuum to anyone! The hose is super long and never loses suction. I love how easy it is to dump out the debris and keep on cleaning. LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dyson!

We have a golden retriever that obviously sheds a lot, so a specialty animal hair vacuum is necessary. We have had this vacuum for a few years, and I have loved it. Easy to maneuver, not too heavy, easy to disassemble to clean the individual parts and empty the container.

I LOVE MY DYSON!! It is the best vacuum on the market. It has a suction power like no other. Well worth the price. They last for years!!

I love this.It is the best to use to clean up a pets mess I use it daily

My sister-inlaw has the Dyson DC 17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner. She has 2 big hairy dogs and she said that this vacuum works great!!!

This vacuum is the best thing that even happened to my carpet! I have to warn you...it's a little scary and disgusting when you see the amount of dog hair etc that will be sucked up from, what you thought was, your "clean" carpet. I was horrified the first time! Now I feel so much better about my kids playing on the carpet after vacuuming with my Dyson Animal. Truly worth the money!!!

I have been using the Dyson animal vacuum for about six months now and absolutely love it. We have been renovating our home so I have spent a lot of time getting to know my Dyson and there doesn't seem to be anything it wont clean up. On top of that, my cat loves to sleep on the couches when I'm not home so there is usually a nice amount of cat hair on my couch pillows by the end of the week. I have had not problems with the Dyson and feel like I've really put it through a good trial. It's not light, but also not too heavy to carry up a few stairs. I would definitely recommend this vacuum.

We love our Dyson DC 17 Animal! I never realized how much better a vacuum could be until we got ours. It picks up more dirt and pet hair, is easier to clean and moves easily. My 4 year old even enjoys maneuvering it around. It isn't too heavy and I can easily take it upstairs. I have been very happy with our purchase.
