Dyson - DC17 Animal

Bro, this sub won’t ever upvote a Dyson no matter how good a job it does. Only Miele and Sebo are allowed in vacuum heaven. Everyone else is in Dustbuster purgatory. Seriously. Just got a loaded old new stock Dyson dc17 animal with like 20 attachments for cheap and I’m happy as a lark. So glad not to be out of $1k for a vacuum too!

Shout out to that 15+ year old dyson! I just replaced the hose on mine this year. Gosh, it was expensive to buy in 2009, but I've definitely got my money's worth out of it.

I have a 2009 dyson animal. Thing still works like a champ. 💪 I vacuum twice a week. My 3 are field golden retreiver/field irish setter mix....so less floof their their show breed counterparts. It would be nice to have a robot vacuum, but i dont have the kind of disposable income needed for a good quality robot vac 💲💲💲 that could handle their hair to justify frivolous spending when my current vac and manual labor still get the job done.

Wow interesting. We had our Dyson Animal first generation for 15 years with two cats and two dogs. When it broke we bought the next generation one. Fingers crossed it lasts as long.

Dyson pet model that is a plug in. It’s great on the hardwood floors. I do have one ruggable and I have to use a less powerful vacuum on that one.the other carpets are great with the Dyson.

So I had a Dyson upright Animal vac that did a pretty decent job but both my healers despised it with a vengeance and would nip at it and attack it whenever I vacuumed. I tried to scare them away by unleashing the vac brush on them and, what do you know, the lil raptors loved it. After they got used to the routine, I’d get the vac out and vacuum them first then the house. It was a win win. God, I miss those guys.

Have the corded Dyson Animal with attachments....two years old. NOT worth it. It was to replace a 10 year old Dyson Animal that my spouse used like a shop-vac and ruined (dead mouse.....GRRRR!) The new one is crap...it is too light to allow the hose to extend without tipping over. I have even stretched and wrapped the hose around the closet rod between uses, but the hose doesn't stretch out like the old one. I am frequently whacked by the darn thing when using the attachments....but that is the point of the animal version!

\* A corded Dyson Animal vacuum with all attachments included. BTW

Mine is like 8 years old one of the animal ones but it’s an upright works great.

I sweep my floors. I also avoid Dyson like a plague. I had two dysons in the good olde days when the animal upright was brand new. Turns out it couldn't cope with my normal hair or my pets' fur. We also had an original upright.. that didn't like my sister sewing.

Most people here will tell you to stay away from Dyson. Like everything else, everyone's experience is different. I have a Dyson Animal upright that's a decade old and still works like new. We've always had a stick vacuum for the convenience, but both Shark and Samsung models we had weren't even worth the convenience. We dropped the coin for a V15 and honestly it works even better than the upright. My only problem with the V15 is the battery is not removable, and of course anything with a battery is not going to be BIFL. But in my experience Dyson makes a great product. Bagged vacuums will definitely have better longevity odds but if I'm getting even 10 years out of a vacuum, that's good to me.
