"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."

"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."
"The other head without the spinner is fucking ridiculously strong. ... I cannot vacuum a rug with it because it sucks so hard. I have to hold one side down with my foot and pull away and it's still hard haha."
"3 dog's and 3 cats with all carpet. ... that thing fuckin rips. ... it works too good and everytime I use it I have to take scissors and cut the hair that's caught around the head in the brushes but it's not the vacuums fault I have a fucking hobby farm on a carpet sooo."

"it's designed so well, it's a joy to vacuum 2x daily (concrete floors/live at the beach with a long-haired GSD, I vacuum constantly)."

"The self cleaning rollers are the highest selling point for me (every vacuum I ever owned before this broke because I couldn’t keep up on the hair wrapped around the brush)"
"It has a little comb inside that basically stops all hair tangles around the roller"
"The single only humidifier thats easy to keep clean since the important part is dishwasher safe."

"Fragile ass build quality, they just broke."
"The c30i notorious for breaking at the connection. ... I used to use a c30i and they broke at the connection. ... They also broke but still work though lmao. ... Nah the c30i are great and all but they are poorly built and fragile. ... One wrong drop and they crack instantly."
"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."

"I'll be damned if I'm going to drag that thing up and down three floors regularly."
"I’ve tried my families Miele canister when I lived with them and never got the hang of it. ... How do you manage the canister? We have a small space and based on my experience it seems like I would trip over it. Even when I tried it in a bigger place I still carried the canister around which was super annoying just to not trip on it ... The space is small enough that it has dead ends without enough space to turn around by pulling the canister. Is there a way that same concept can still be applied? We’re talking bedsides with only 1.5’ space, 4’ hallway with a litter box at the end, 5’ kitchen width with dead end."

"google photos of destroyed units, it’s absolutely frightening. When I researched why my 7590 made these noises and saw the photos I immediately exported all settings, unplugged it, ordered a new device and used my 5G mobile connection until the replacement arrived. ... the photos I saw were frightening (big holes burned into the board)."
"The problems start with a high pitched buzzing noise. First you barely notice it and then it gets louder and louder until the chip burns. ... If it starts a high pitched buzzing sound that gets louder from day to day, better replace it as soon as possible."
"There was an issue with a specific model (I think it was the 7590) where after 5 years the 2.4GHz WLAN chip burned through. ... So if every smart home device suddenly doesn't work anymore that is why. ... It's only the devices that are limited to 2.4GHz that will suddenly stop working. ... For me the high pitch buzzing sound only started when the 2.4GHz stopped working."
Second vote for Shark. I had the very first Dyson, and later a Dyson Animal. I’ve since had a Shark Navigator Lift Away, and another Shark, whose model name I can’t remember. Give me some grace, I’m old! Both Sharks were FAR superior to either Dyson, and FAR cheaper! They picked up EVERYTHING, including tons of dog hair, the brush rolls rarely tangled, and when they did, they were easy to clean. A bonus on the Lift Away is that it comes apart so that you can use the top part as a (comparatively) lightweight canister vac, which is great for stairs, overhead cleaning, etc. I’ll never buy another Dyson. If you tried to give me one, I’d ask if I could have another Shark instead.
r/CleaningTips • Is the Dyson vacuum cleaner worth it? ->We purchased a “renewed” Dyson Animal vacuum. It’s very powerful and works amazing on our hardwood, rugs, and carpet. It has a narrower brush area so suction is increased. When vacuuming our area rugs on the lowest brush setting, the suction makes it hard to move the vacuum, it’s that strong. It’s probably the best vacuum I’ve ever used.
r/dogs • House cleaning advice for dog hair (Golden Retriever) ->I also hate my Dyson animal. Like you said, it stinks like dog no matter how much you clean and replace the filter and is so hard to maneuver. I also feel like the suction isn’t that strong. I definitely plan on getting something else soon!!
r/germanshepherds • Vacuum recommendations ->Dyson animal! 4 cats, 2 high shedding dogs. It’s amazing!
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->Dyson pet version. Wasn’t cheap but good quality and does great easy to clean.
r/Frugal • Cat parents - What vacuum do you use??? ->This subreddit had me all scared about buying a Dyson Animal vacuum. It’s fine, guys. It’s a perfectly good vacuum. I also have a stick, wanted more power, and guess what? It’s fine!
r/VacuumCleaners • Cordless Stick Vacuums are perfect for most people. ->Dyson animal or a Roborock qv. Vacuum then clean the vacuum
r/germanshepherds • I have these two hair shedders and I can’t find a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t give up the will to live after about a year. Anyone got recommendations for a brand and model that lasts longer than 12months? ->I have had good luck with Dyson and Shark brands. Both in “pet” models, I’m sorry I don’t know more specific models. I personally don’t notice much of a difference in the performance so I stick with Shark since it’s cheaper and in my opinion the hose and attachments are easier to use.
r/samoyeds • Best vacuum for fur? ->Dyson Animal , once a day.( we have two GSDs) and Roomba supplements mid day.
r/germanshepherds • Best vacuum ->Dyson animal - had it for 8 years, only thing I had to do was replace the battery last year as it couldn’t hold a charge anymore. The new ones have a new hair technology that prevents clogged hair but I never had any issues.
r/Pets • Best vacuum for pet hair? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
