Dyson DC17 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: The amount of dirt and fibers it removes with each cleaning. Love it.
Cons: A bit awkward with the hose and attachments. I am unfamiliar yet.

Okay, I usually blow this kind of stuff off...but, I am thoroughly impressed with this vacuum! I have a sharp vacuum, that is considered to be a great vacuum from the vacuum stores, but the amount of dirt and carpet fibers that came off of my 2 year old ...

Pros: Excellent suction Superb cleaning Many useful accessories 5 year warranty
Cons: None for me!

I have owned this vacuum for over a year now. It is the best one I have ever owned. I have not had any problems with it. The suction rivals that of the 16 gallon shop vac that we have. It has never lost suction as all of my old vacs did. We live in ...

Pros: Great suction. Easy to handle. A lot of extras and great attachments,easy to clean.
Cons: Pricey, but worth it, no carrier for extra attachments they don't stay on very well.

I purchased the DC17 on a recommendation from a co-worker. We have 6 dogs and 1 cat, so I needed a vacuum that would get the hair and dander up out of the carpets. WOW...does it!! I vacuumed the floor with my Hoover first. I wanted to see exactly what ...

Pros: Superb suction, excellent design, does what it should do
Cons: A little on the heavy side

For years I had seen Dyson vacuum cleaners being sold, they always seemed a fad to me. They looked like the kind of expensive machines you have to look nice but don’t particularly work well. That was BEFORE I saw one in action, my brother got one as ...

Pros: great for people with animals, very well designed, easy to clean out
Cons: SMALL area rugs a problem, pricey, purple?

There are plenty of reviews here with helpful information about this vacuum, so I won't reiterate specifics. I know when I'm about to buy something I come to epinions to read what real people who have lived with a product say. This vac is big bucks no ...

Pros: Powerful and consistent suction, Advanced features, Condensed design.
Cons: Expensive, No light, Somewhat firm hose.

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 ...

Pros: Great suction, style and ease of use! A+++
Cons: Haven't run across any yet.

First off, I have to say that the first vacuum I ever owned was an Electrolux. It was a wonderful vacuum and it lasted for over 12 years! I have 2 Shelties...they have long hair that is constantly shedding. Needless to say, I vacuum A LOT! My vacuum ...

Pros: Sucks the most dirt, quick draw action with wand.
Cons: Awkward stair attachment, pricey.

If it is possible, I think I am in love with this vacuum! I am amazed at the amount of dirt, dog hair and overall grime that this thing can suck up. I have owned a top of the line Hoover and also had a house with an Electrolux central vac. It easily ...

Pros: Ease of use, durable construction, Power that doesn't compare to anything
Cons: Expensive, Sometimes awkward to maneuver (I didn't buy the Ball type)

I have two furry canines: Bouvier and Giant Schnauzer.... I bought the DC07 Animal in early 2003, because I could not find any other vacuum that was able to handle my pet hair issues. I previously owned a Kirby which was quite effective. However, I ...

Pros: Highly efficient cleaning; easy to use; well-designed
Cons: It takes a while to get used to using the hose

I'll admit I'm a gadget geek. I've had a variety of vacuum cleaners of varying sizes and styles. The quality varied as much as the shapes, but none of them seemed to do the trick -- especially with a household of one dog, three cats and a bird. I ...

Pros: Performance and value
Cons: I didn't own one sooner.

I did a lot of research before buying this vacuum. The biggest drawback being the price. Luckily, Kohl's had a big sale and we got a rare 30% off from their catalog promo. So we ended up getting this unit for the price of the regular upright all floors ...

Pros: There's too much to fit in here
Cons: Powered hand tool isn't very powerful, Zorb doesn't really work

First off, I would like to congratulate you for reaching this page. I want people to know about Dyson, because they actually work, last, and clean like no other vacuum cleaner. Let’s see, I currently own 3 different, and expensive Hoover vacuum ...

Pros: excellent attachments, long cord, detachable handle makes using attachments a breeze, warranty program
Cons: price

We just bought a new house, and with the million other purchases we have had in the last few weeks to get situated, a new vacuum had to be on the list. I have a black lab that sheds like nothing I've ever seen before and we've gone through (literally ...

Pros: Amazing.
Cons: On Board attatchments not very good. except for mini turbine head.

first let me tell you this. we found a coupon code online for Linens n Things for 25% off any single item. and we used the 'pick up in store' feature on their website. so after we applied the coupon code on the website we got $132 off. and picked it up ...

Pros: Looks cool, great suction, relatively light.
Cons: None that I can see.

I know that sounds lame, but my husband had no idea what to get me. He asked me what I wanted and I said "A Dyson vacuum". I had trouble justifying just buying it for no reason because of the price, but for a Christmas gift, I was perfectly willing. ...
