Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner customer reviews: Dyson lives up to it's reputation The Dyson "animal" arrived the day that the carpets had been vacuumed. I went over the carpets again with the Dyson and collected an amazing amount of dirt, dog hair, etc. Very impressive! So far, I am impressed! The DC17 arrived in the mail today and I put it to work right out of the box. I am very impressed with the power of this vacuum. Easy to push and pull, easy to empty the canister. The thing that impresses me most? It is extremely quiet for a vacuum! I could actually carry on a conversation with my wife while using it. It picks up a load of dirt and hair, I have 2 labs and need all the help I can get with dog hair clean up. It's only been one day, but I'll continue to post positives or negatives as time goes by. NO NEED TO BUY THE BALL My Oct/08 shopping came down to a comparison between the DC-17 and the DC-25 Ball models. I ended up buying the DC-17 for its much greater capacity before it needs emptying, because its cleaning power is rated best of all Dysons, and also because its construction seemed more substantial. At the store (not running), the ball model was much easier to maneuver, but when I actually ran the DC-17 at home, I was very pleased to discover that it is also super-easy to turn. With the floor brush running, it is almost self-propelled and turns almost effortlessly. This is the easiest vacuum to run and to empty that I have ever used. I now see no reason to buy the ball model. As others have mentioned, the main floor brush will tear up your delicate carpets (I learned this the hard way on a wool carpet runner I had custom made in Greece). I now use the small turbo brush on the end of the wand for my runners and area rugs, and this works fine, but is too small for really big rugs. I think the main floor brush should be fine for wall-to wall carpeting, unless you have shag, which it will probably destroy. Other cons are the way-too-stiff hose and rather cumbersome wand. The 35ft cord is plenty long, but lacking a retractor. Suction is superb, and much less prone to clogging than my previous vacuums. Overall, a great machine, but be careful with you delicate carpets. DON'T BUY THE DYSON DC17 ANIMAL..... ...unless you're 100% sure you're ready to see what's been hiding out in your carpet!! So after much debate, the wife and I finally decided to breakdown and purchase one of these "Animals"(I wanted to give this to her as a x-mas present but I lost her at "I"... don't recommend trying this fellas). Anywho, having built this house a little over 17 months ago, I really didn't expect there to be TOO much stuff hanging out in our carpet. I mean, we do vaccum with our 1 year old Eureka Altima (with "wide track surface, bagless container and side brush" psshh) once a week, so how bad could it be right? Wrong! After bringing home this purple beast, which we picked up at BB&B with a 20% discount coupon, we decided to put it to the test (as most nerds would who get excited about buying a vaccum cleaner). Side bar: the instructions weren't all that helpful, but I'm the kind of frontiersman who likes to forge ahead not having read the instructions, so for me it was a non-issue. With assembly complete, I reached down and fired it up. After 4 or 5 passes I had to stop and take a gag break! I couldn't believe what was being sucked in to that clear canister. Gross! So as any good husband would do, I turned it over to my wife and let her finish the rest of the house(what can I say, it's Thursday NFL football night). At one point, she emptied the canister after vaccuming the area where the x-mas tree was last year and we noticed glitter from the x-mas ornaments that had wedged deep into the carpet (or at least deep enough for the Eureka not to find it). Unbelievable! Simply stated... this thing SUCKS! Literally! There's something to be said for a vaccum cleaner that can make an early 30's couple get excited over seeing dirt, hair and a multitude of other things being sucked from the carpet in the house of which they live. It could be, we just need to get a life... but whatever. I highly recommend this suction machine to any and everyone! It is a bit pricey, but hey, with a coupon from the paper and a credit card you're on your way ;-p! Ok, I shouldn't have said that given the current economic crisis. Just go get one, I promise you'll be grossed out! Especially if you have 3 dogs as we do! Love my Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner I just received my Dyson yesterday. I am amazed (and embarrassed) how much dirt and dog hair it picked up. I did a once over in my living-room, bedroom and office and managed to almost fill the canister. My Hoover would only wrap the dog hair around the brush. It didn't pick up much. The Dyson was also easier to push around than my self-propelled Hoover. In comparison, the Dyson does its job better, is quieter and easier to push around than my Hoover. The only complaint I have is that the "instructions" that came with it were minimal at best. I went to Dyson's website to see if they had more in-depth instructions on what each attachment was for and how to attach it. Nothing there. My daughter has a Dyson so she came over to show me how to use them. My daughter has had her Dyson for several months and she loves hers also. I highly recommend this product.
