 Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Vaccum is the best July 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
 "Never loses suction?" HA! HA! HA! July 7, 2008
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
"Never loses suction" is an advertising gimmick. It lost suction within a short period, constantly declining now, too. Clean the little ($17.00) sponge "filter" and get a little improvement, but not much. It is practically impossible to clean out the tank, parts are locked down with star bits. Finally, cheap plastic parts break easily, so don't expect to be able to keep the cord in any neat condition.
