Dyson DC-17 Animal - Finally a Vacuum That Doesn't Suck
So far I'm happy with my Dyson DC-17 Animal even though $500 does feel like a lot to pay. It's got powerful suction, a good design, versatile tools, and a robust brush that really gets the grit and hair out of my carpets. Let's get the bad stuff out... read entire review
Pros: Good suction, good tools, good design excellent brush. All around works well.
Cons: Trouble traversing the "lip" between uneven floor surfaces. Can't lie down and get under furniture.
The Bottom Line: Delivers on its promise to deliver YOU from pet hair. Brush roller and suction work GREAT on carpets, with only a few maneuverability gripes.

Doesn't Lose Suction... Even After You're Married
Imagine using a product that didn't get the job done and getting so frustrated that you were determined to design a new technology and design for a very effective cyclone vacuum. Imagine taking your idea to the major vacuum manufacturers and them... read entire review

Cons: no retractable cord, too many trips outside to empty the canister, no bag for accessories

Most Impressive - Worth EVERY Cent!!

Pros: Excellent Suction, Easy to Use
Cons: Frequency of Canister Emptying, Worthless customer service.

Impressed by a vacuum cleaner? Now this is a first.
Let me start off by stating that I know a thing or two about vacuuming. For two years when I was in high school, I worked as a maintenance guy for a health/racquetball club, and my main duty, obviously, was to keep the place clean. This involved... read entire review
Cons: Too pricey for some folks. Hose is not as flexible as I would like.
The Bottom Line: When something is done right, it makes it a joy to use. This vacuum lives up to its reputation as the best of the best. Worth every penny.

Fantastic vacuum, my pet hair problems are over
First let me say I am thrilled with this vacuum. I replaced a Bissel (not the Healthy Home which I compare the Dyson to in this review) and the difference in performance is amazing. Both are "12 amp" vacuums, but the Dyson is far superior. The... read entire review

Forget the price tag
Well, I have had my Dyson for a week and have vacuumed twice with it now. I am glad I did not write this review after the first time I used it because it does take a bit of getting used to and can be a bit unwieldy at times. However, after the second... read entire review
Pros: It does not lose suction and it really works!
Cons: Takes some getting used to and can be unwieldy and intimidating at first.
