 Not Hype - Lives up to expectations August 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Three years ago, I researched vacuum's and followed consumer reports suggestions of Dyson's are overrated and too pricey for the results. I went and purchased a Hoover Bagless WindTunnel, which was one of the number one vacuum's which picked up more dirt than any other tested vacuum.
The vacuum never really impressed me but got the job done so i thought. After about 2.5 years, the suction in the Hoover was next to none coming from the base. I would run over a thread and it wouldn't pick it up. I used the hose and within inches it would pick it up. With 2 big dogs in the house, this was a problem.
Back to the drawing board for a new vacuum. Decided to pursue the Animal versions of the Dyson. Read and found that this particular model is the better one for American houses, allergies, and pets. The DC17 has the American beater bar which is tougher for American carpets vs the European beater bar on all the other models. It was the best one in keeping the air clean. I couldn't at this point justify purchasing a brand new one, so I went the refurbished route because my experience with refurbished electronics has been successful.
I got the dyson very quickly from amazon with every part you could think of and the full cleaning kit. Hooking it up was very easy despite reviews saying that the instructions were hard to figure out and that they couldn't put their vacuum cleaner together.
So far so good! Now to see what this baby can do... After three buckets of dog hair/dirt and the carpets looking the best they have looked in 3 years... I wanted to get on amazon.com and write this review right then... Hands down, Dyson is not just hype - it lives up to what it they say they came to do "make a better vacuum"!

The Dyson Animal DC17 does a great job, much better than my previous vacuum, picking up pet hair. It is also much easier to empty. I love it!!
Got all the cat hair--Black shirt test August 14, 2008

This vacuum is just as advertised. We have two cats and it sucks up all the cat hair on the carpet. I can roll on the floor with a black shirt after vacuuming and be cat hair free. Amazing!
It's also great to hear that Dyson himself looks out for the little guy. Unlike other vacuums companies, there are no expensive filters or bags to buy--where other companies make their money. All you do is take out the filter after 4-6 months, wash it and dry it. Then you are back to good.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a vacuum. Money well spent!

After reading the reviews here on Amazon about this product I took the plunge and bought a Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal. This vacuum does everything the positive reviews say it does. The vacuum arrived in new looking condition and arrived in a timely fashion. This is a great product. Please don't let the remaufactured title frighten you off. I have less problems with my allergies than I've ever had. I can honestly say, "I'll never own any other vacuum other than a Dyson now". Thank-you Amazon for making this product available price-wise by offering a remaufactured option.
Great Product! August 11, 2008

This remanufactured Dyson is great! Shipping was very fast and it arrived in good condition -- very easy to assemble (basically just attach the handle). The very first time I used it, I couldn't believe all the cat hair it picked up -- I thought my house was clean! I had been looking at Dyson vacs for a long time, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money. I'm very happy with the remanufactured product -- great product for a great price!
