"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)."
"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."
"was the best for animal hair at the time. ... GOD the amount of hair it picks up<3 ... now I only need to vacuum once a day (I have 2 heelers & 3 cats)"

"the amount of dog hair / ETC it can get out of the carpet vs the Dyson Cordless cannot be compared."
"continually having to take it apart and cut fur from the roller."
"animal and people hair can twist around the beater bar, so watch that and keep it clean. Take the whole thing out of the head. Get the hair hidden in the gaskets."

"The shark is 1/3 the price of the Dyson and does nearly as good a job."
"one of those el cheapo cordless on Amazon for $100 something and it works just fine as the Dyson."
Apicalis_ 1.0Ich hab mir nen Defekten Dyson V11 für 90€ geschossen und dann nochmal ca. 100€ für die Reparatur hingeblättert (Motor war Defekt aber es war nur die Komplette Griffeinheit erhältlich anstatt nur der Motor). Das Ding kam mit mega viele extras (Vorbesitzer hatte diese Animal Version oder wie die heißt). Bin ein absoluter Fan von der Saugleistung, vor allem den angetriebenen Bürsten am Saugkopf. Der Dyson wird primär verwendet um unser Sofa etc. zu reinigen, der Boden wird vom Roboterstaubsauger (Roborock S5 max) gesaugt. TL;DR: Ich bin mit der Dyson Qualität super zufrieden bisher, würde mir aber im Leben keinen neuen Kaufen bei den unverschämten Preisen.
FieOnU 1.0I love my Dyson V11 Animal. It has withstood the past 5 years of weekly use against golden retriever, various foster dogs, and cat hair.
Kimmy0721 1.0My experience with Dyson was not good. Purchased 4 from Costco. One battery failure, one canister seal broke after a month. The laser fluffy head was taking the finish off some of the beveled edges of my less than 2 year old hardwood floors. Looking at other cordless, none of them had a brush head I would trust with my wood floors. My other vacs are a very old but reliable Electrolux Epic 8000, and a newly purchased Sebo K3. The floor brushes with horsehair bristles are the only thing I can trust to not damage my hickory floors. Or a swiffer.
Ok-Net-5270 1.0The last two dysons I got (an 8 and an 11 animal) were terrible. I used to swear by Dysons! The viral tineco from Amazon was even worse. Landed on the shark rocket just to get by until I regroup.
the_junglist 0.4I got the V11 Pet and it’s great so far! About a year into using it daily
partycurl 0.3Wow 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.
empathetic_witch 0.3That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.
OkParty5740 0.3Newer dysons and shark have tangle free brush bars and there actually work!
Ok_Sundae_2071 0.2I have a Dyson V8 and a V11 Torque handheld on fake wood floors right now. They were good for the hair but TRASH at picking up litter. Probably would be better picking it up off carpet.
ChickNuggetNightmare 0.2No-one wants to hear this, but I have a Dyson Canister Vac (DC26) I bought on overstock.com in 2010 that works perfectly. Only had to replace the retractable cord at a repair shop bc it had worn through at the plug/cable joint. However, I did buy a Dyson cordless in 2020 for some ridiculous price, and it died in less than 2 years.
