 A Vacuum Technology Revolution 100 Years in the Making July 16, 2008
Barley uttering jumbled words and not yet two years old, a "vacuum cleaner" was my first request from Santa. Growing up in a house where clean was priority #1, Kirby Vacuums were the backbone of the institution; there was simply no substitute.
Naturally, when Dyson came along, I shrugged off the notion that they were superior, as Kirby would always be king. Recently, while in Best Buy, I tried out a display model and was in shock at the monstrous suction and "form-following function" design mentality Sir Richard Dyson employed while engineering the benchmark for vacuums of the 21st century.
Because of this amazingly low price, I bought one from Amazon the same day. The unit arrived looking brand new, without a scratch.
Needless to say, I cleaned the brushroll and put a new belt on my $1500 Kirby Sentria and went to work vacuuming my entire house, very slowly, over and over and as thoroughly as I thought possible. I followed over my "clean" floors with the DC17, not believing how much PURE DIRT, dust and HAIR HAIR HAIR!!! I do not have any pets and I'm a single guy! That crud had probably been embedded in my carpet for years!
The true test of the DC17's suction power, is to attach the pet hair tool to your current vacuum when this Dyson arrives. Since the tool's brushroll is turbine powered it requires powerful suction to activate the brush. My Kirby would not even make the brush budge. Attaching it to the Dyson, it sounds like a 747 taking flight.
Bottom line, if you truly care about the cleanliness of your home's air, floors and ridding all other surfaces of the scum that accumulates in your living environment, you can not call your home clean until you own the DC17. This $300 will be the most value-filled purchase of your lifetime; guaranteed.
Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Vaccum is the best July 13, 2008
I love this vacuum cleaner. We have two labs & a cat and the vaccumm gets up a ton of hair every week. I thought that once I cleaned the floor the first time I would not get that much stuff out each week. But really everytime I vacuum, it really seems to easily take up everything in the carpet. Even the carpet now looks almost new again.
The vaccum is on the heavy side and the instructions are not very complete especially regarding the attachments. But I was aware of this before I bought the vaccumm. I am very satisfied. I love not having to buy HEPA filters & bags like I needed with my Hoover Wind Tunnel. Even my husband was impressed with this machine.
Dysson vac is a superlative product!! July 12, 2008
The Dysson animal vac really sucks! And that is meant to be a most positive assessment. I've never had anything do the remarkable job on my carpet that this product does. You get what you pay for. The only negative thing about it is the manual. Someone really needs to overhaul it. It's really hard to follow, despite the pictorial images. Just not enough instructive info in it. I had to call Dysson direct to get some answers. Otherwise, it's thumbs up on the product itself!!
Awesome Vac. July 10, 2008
Well I was a bit sceptical on this prduct as most of the other vacuums I
have used in the past cant hold up to my shedding mutt. I was also concerned that it might be a nightmare to assemble etc.
I had this put together in 5 minutes and up and running in under 10. There are not any assembly instructions so you need to have some limited mechanical aptitude, but really it's a snap.
This thing is simply great. Talk about cleaning! One of the best features is how easily you can empty the unit and break it down for a good cleaning.
Best vac I have ever owned period. Well worth the money.
Great Vacuum-One of my best purchases ever July 8, 2008
After researching the hell out of a number of vacuums, I decided to go with the Dyson DC 17 Animal. I will admit, if I wouldn't have been able to get it on Amazon for $319 I probably wouldn't have purchased it at all. I received the vacuum within a few days of ordering it, even though shipping was estimated to be over a week. (positive)
The vacuum was packaged extremely well. Even though this vacuum was listed as "refurbished" I'd be willing to bet the vacuum couldn't have been used more than half a dozen times prior to being repaired. The appliances were brand new, not even a single scratch on them. Oh yeah, this thing comes with a bunch of tools, I'm pretty sure I won't even be able to use all of them anyway! (positive)
The directions were a little hard to figure out-I'm a man, I don't read directions, therefore I rely heavily on pictures! Maybe that's how they do things in Germany, but here in America it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to figure out how to put a vacuum together. I guess you have to be smarter than the piece of equipment you are trying to assemble. (negative-probably mostly my fault though)
Now about the vacuum's performance.....this vacuum is f'ing awesome! I wish I would have purchased one a long time ago. Prior to this I had a Dirt Devil and never really felt like the carpet was "clean." Different story with this thing! Here's an example for you...I'm a fireman, so I took this thing to the station. After spending numerouse hours vacuuming throughout the course of the day, and filling up the canister 5 times, one of the night shift guys came in and said he noticed somthing was different about the carpet. I hadn't even mentioned anything to him! That's pretty impressive for a guy to notice the carpet being clean! The only real complaint I have is that this thing does not have a light on the front, but then again, it's not like I'm vacuuming in the dark! (positive)
To sum it up, this vacuum is all it is hyped up to be!
