ive had my Dyson animal 2 for years and i love it, it cleans well and fits into tight spots, i have a cat so i use it often. It was worth the price imo

V15. We have a GSD and mostly hardwood floors and it works great even on area rugs using the carpet attachment. If you don’t keep up with vacuuming you might need to empty the v15 once or twice because the container isn’t huge. We also own a Dyson animal 2 and barely use it.

Love my plug-in upright Dyson (I think it’s the Animal 2?). I’ve had it for almost seven years. I even bought a replacement part and had my friend’s husband help me dismantle and then reassemble it. We ended up with two extra screws left. Still works like a charm! When the kids were smaller it would constantly get clogged with my daughter’s socks, which she left EVERYWHERE, but it’s easy to just take that bit apart and put it back together. Every once in a while I take off parts and clean them in warm soapy water.

Check Facebook marketplace. I was in the same boat 2 years ago and got a Dyson Animal Ball 2 for 25 bucks. Still works amazing to this day

I have the Dyson Ball Animal 2 I think, and we have 2 cats and shag carpets. It's great, every time we vacuum we get a full tank of dander and fur pretty much. I had to get a replacement part after 2 years and their customer service was good too. Their wand attachments are annoying though the tube is not easy to extend if you plan on using that a lot.

3 of us have med to long hair and it’s everywhere. I use a small dust buster for the bathroom for fast easy pickups. We have a Dyson animal ball 2 and the bottom can be removed to access the part that spins and catches all of the hair (there’s A LOT of hair when vaccuming). I use a little sewing thread cutter (seam ripper) and run it along the length of the cylinder and cut all of the hair, remove and throw away. Works like a charm. Make sure your vacuum is unplugged just in case.
