Dyson DC17 Animal

Pros: It does not lose suction and it really works!

Cons: Takes some getting used to and can be unwieldy and intimidating at first.

The Bottom Line: Buy it! It does what it says it will do. It is a must for anyone with pets.

Review: 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...

Pros: Clean-up a breeze, Spectacular suction, useful attachments

Cons: Wish the cord was retractable.

Review: When we built our new home we included a top of the line central vac system, within in a year the motor had burned out. We decided to spend a little more and purchase the Dyson DC17, we have no regrets. You will be amazed by the debris this machine...

Pros: Great suction and machine sits securely as you vacuum up steps with the retractable hose.

Cons: This vacuum cleaner should have included a retractable cord and a head light.

Review: This vacuum does clean very well but could benefit from some design improvements.

For $500 it should feature a retractable cord and a headlight. Within the first 15 months of ownership I had a brush head break plus its replacement...

Pros: Powerful, out cleaned my old vacuum

Cons: Very Pricey and a not good for shag rugs!

Review: I just bought this Dyson and on the first night I vacuumed like normal using my old vacuum (Dirt Devil Platinum Force with HEPA filter) then I used the Dyson. I was amazed about the amount of dirt the Dyson vacuum managed to pick up.

The...

Pros: Best vac for the money if you have animals.

Cons: Not crazy about where the wands attack.

The Bottom Line: Would buy again

Review: Not sure what else can be added but this being the fourth vac we've tried I had to add something. I could have saved a bunch of money if I had spent it in the first place. I had one bag left for the old one so I decided to do a little test. Now we...

Pros: Does a great job, excellent suction, easy to use!

Cons: Price, lack of useful attachments and instruction book.

The Bottom Line: If you have carpet, furniture and/or pets buy it!! It does a great job.

Review: We purchased our Dyson Animal DC17 yesterday. It took my husband about 15 minutes to assemble it, the instructions are not very helpful. We vacuumed our living room and was shocked, to say the least, of the amount of dirt, dust, pet hair and who...

Pros: Lots of attachments / extras New 5 Year Warranty Performance is unmatched

Cons: Attachment holder on vacuum can be tricky

Review: Everything they say here is true. I replaced my old Hoover Windtunnel (which Consumer Reports still rates higher than the Dyson... ignore them) and was amazed at how much more dirt this thing picks up. You will not believe it until you try it. Its...

Pros: Powerful rotating bristles, powerful suction, cleaning power.

Cons: Price, documentation and small canister capacity.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended especially if you have pets and your old vacuum cleaner isn't doing the job well.

Review: "What's the big deal about, it's just a vacuum cleaner?"

That's what I said after looking at the Dyson DC17 in the store. Yeah right, a $549 vacuum cleaner that is. C'mon, is ANY vacuum cleaner really worth 500 bucks?

Oh...

Pros: good vacuum, comparable to Hoover Windtunnel

Cons: Pricey

Review: Excepting my first child and living with 2 cats and a dog I thought I would test my mothers new Dyson against my 5 year Hoover Windtunnel. I first vacuumed with my Hoover and then went over the same area with the Dyson, to my amazement the Dyson...

Pros: clean floors, less dust, I can breathe better.

Cons: I honestly don't have a con.

The Bottom Line: It's amazing and you'll instantly see results. It's extremely easy to use and I now love to vacuum, in fact, I look forward to it.

Review: I just purchased my new dyson DC 17 from Bed Bath and Beyond, using my 20% off discount coupon. The total cost, with coupon, came to $479 and some change. As soon as I arrived home, I assembled the machine and put it to the test. Yes, it works...
