Anyone have a Dyson? - Page 2

Dysons are FANTASTIC. Just remember to clean it out thoroughly every 6 months or so, as those cones can get dirty, which reduces suction. Even that's easy though.

Indeed I do back home. It's the one with the ball for easy turning.

Let me help you....

First the ball fir easy turning, crock of poop. Doesn't make it like the commercials if anything it makes it feel more unstable in your hand.

Second that whole never stops sucking thing is true if you're reffering to the quality of the vacuum. It was not prepaired to handle the spring time shedding of a rotwheiler that lives indoors.

Sometimes when I go to grab it out of the closet I expect to find it hanging from a bent coat hanger with a suicide note attached.

We have the DC17 Animal. Best vacuum I have ever had, period.

We have one in our home as well and it is by far the best vacuum that I have ever used. My dad ran a motel for 27 years and I have operated my fair share of floor suckers and this one is the best I've used. Only thing I complain about, the spinning brush attachment for the hose is a terrible fit it doesn't operate properly in my opinion. no solid connection. I have better luck using this attach. on my small shop vac with duct tape...YMMV

I purchased a refurbished Dyson with warranty for 2/3's of the price. It is the best for a sub $400 vacuum. However, the best vacuum hands down is a Kirby, but that will run you $1500-$2000. Yes, clean it out well every six months.

Another purple animal user here. Have had mine for quite awhile now. Still operates like it was brand new. As others have mentioned - once or twice a year depending on the pet hair amount - take it outside and hose it out real good. The whole thing will come apart pretty easy - tubes, hoses, the collector, etc etc. I run the water through all of them - let it dry and toss it back together.

Once the basement is finished on the remodel I will most likely buy another one, standard yellow, for upstairs and keep the purple one downstairs.
