 Love it!!! October 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a proud owner of three Siberian Huskies. That being said I have a massive amount of hair... everywhere. I have a Furminator( which I love) I use to brush them three times a week and still hair, hair, hair. The carpet was awful and so was our furniture. We went through two other vacuums that didn't seem to be getting the job done.
Last Christmas, with relatives coming to visit out of state, I decided enough was enough. I researched online and read reviews for several other vacuums. I decided on the Dyson Animal(The ball version). The results ~ Amazing. The hair and dirt it picked up not only shocked me but, made me feel kind of sick all of that was in and on my carpet. I have a fairly small living room and I had to dump the canistor twice. It lived up to all the hype I read in the reviews.
There are a few people who say that the suction isnt working for them as well as they had hoped. In some cases not at all. This is surprising to me. When I vacuum I can actually see the hair being sucked to the machine before it even reaches it. I let all my friends use it, because they love it and are saving up to buy one of their own.
Bottom Line: Best $500 I spent so far. Met all my expectations.
Oh boy, am I in trouble! September 29, 2008
I bought the Dyson DC24 from Target because I felt I couldn't afford the DC15 and the lightweight, compact design of the DC24 appealed to me. Let me say, I have been incredibly pleased with the power and performance of the DC24.
That said, when I saw Amazon had such a great price for a new, not reconditioned DC15 -- the one we originally wanted -- I had to snap it up. Wow, and uh-oh were my first reactions (that has to do with why I'm in trouble, which I'll get to later.).
It is definitely worth purchasing for even more robust cleaning power (we have 8 cats!) and its generous array of attachments. It is more unwieldy, though not nearly as heavy as the ridiculous, poor-performing Kirby. With the Kirby, I had to get on hands and knees with a Gonzo sponge to lift hair, then vacuum - no more of that! The good news is either Dyson lifts pet hair without hesitation. The difference with the Animal is that while it is heavier to manage, it cleans even more definitively.
A motivating factor is that I am an asthma sufferer, which I realize is exacerbated by the cats. The asthma's under control with meds, but I have definitely noticed dramatic improvement in my breathing and the utter banishment of household allergies due to such thorough cleaning.
The "Ball" pivoting mechanism isn't hype, either. It reduces all that repositioning and maneuvering.
So then, why am I in trouble? I am an idiot (or not!) because I am keeping both. The DC24 (small one) is perfect for whipping through the house on weeknights when I don't want to have a major production. It's so easy and light, able to get in tight and low places and I am never taxed or tired after using it. The Animal stays because there is simply no better cleaning to be had. I have had many vacuums in my life and if I could recoup my money from those manufacturers for the lousy performance of their Hoovers, Eurekas and Kirbys -- plus receive reimbursement for the extra hours I spent "double-cleaning" -- I could easily pay for the entire line of Dyson products with bags of money left over!
Your Vacuum Search Stops Here... September 18, 2008

This is a super vacuum cleaner. No other vacuum could convince me to give up my Rainbow (they cost almost $2000 new). This is as good as the Rainbow in that it doesn't circulate a bunch of dust, but it's a ton easier to us. I have had this vacuum a year now. I admit that it took me a while to get used to the on board attachments, but now that I really understand how they work, they are great. All I can say is, I LOVE THIS VACUUM CLEANER!!!! It is 1000 times easier to use than the Rainbow, and it does a GREAT JOB. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. Look at the reviews, they tell the story... most vacuums have a significant number of negative reviews, this one gets a huge majority of 5 star reviews.
Dyson DC15 Animal Ball Upright Vacuume Cleaner September 17, 2008
This vacuume is probably the best vacuume I have ever owned! I love the way it operates in tight spaces, and the suction is very good as well. I could not believe how much it picked up after vacuuming with my old vacuume.The furniture attachment is wonderful. My furniture never looked so good. I have tendonitis and arthritis in my hand, so the light weight of this product and manuverability was important to me. If you buy this product, you will not be disappointed!
Best vacuum ever. September 17, 2008
I have owned many vacuum cleaners over the years...from Hoover to Eureka to Carpet Pro to Dirt Devil...NONE of them beat the Dyson DC15 Animal. It is excellent with cleaning dog hair, etc.
I cannot believe all it picks up and how easy it is to use.
NO BAGS! NO MORE REPLACING FILTERS! It has a lifetime filter.
It comes totally equipped with accessories including a mini turbine head for cleaning steps and upholstery.
