Well, my good old Dyson DC04 finally gave up the ghost a while ago and died on me in spectacular fashion. I was a bit upset as it was a good hoover but at the same time mildly excited at the prospect of buying a new one. Pretty boring purchase I know, but for a shopoholic like me it's not so much the purchase but the spending of money that attracts. LOL

The only problem i am having at the moment is that the vaccum is starting to smell a little of my dog when used. I contacted dyson about this and voiced my concerns and the only suggestion they could make was to change both filters which i am in ...

It sucks! Review ofDyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purpleby
traxy
Advantages: Good suction, takes up little floor space in storage Disadvantages: Heavy, noisy, hard to handle
...some extensions, but I think Dyson never intended for anyone to actually use those functions. Why else would it be so difficult to use? The tube (?) thing doesn't want to extend or be flexible, so you have to hold it at the same time as you use the other hand to clean, with one foot holding the machine back, as you don't want it falling down the stairs, if that's where you're hoovering.
The add-on with the rotating brush feels like it's angled ...

Advantages: Brilliant cleaning, really does remove pet hairs Disadvantages: May be a bit heavy for some people?
...will definitely look for another Dyson again.
Which Dyson would be best for me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's so many different models though, if you're unsure which one to go for or want more information, have a look at the Dyson website:
www.dyson.co.uk
It's a great site, and even helps you decide which dyson would be best for you - by asking a series of questions about what you want from a vacuum:
Cylinder or upright?
Type of flooring?
Lightweight ...

Pet hairs begone!! Review ofDyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purpleby
saffron318
Advantages: Amazing vacuuming, removes all dog & cat hairs Disadvantages: Heavy and can be awkward to manouver.
...the shops and seen the dyson Animal for approximately 280 pounds I decided to shop around online for a better price. I finally found this at LX direct for £189 including free car cleaning kit (worth £30). If you are planning to buy this hoover look frequently online, the cheapest online price does seem to vary between the sites ( the week before LX direct had the same hoover priced at £250).
So what do you get for your money?
the DC14 is 7 times ...

Advantages: Removes pet hair, great suction. Disadvantages: Quite heavy
...it was very apparent that dyson have come a long way since the first DC01.
I used the mini turbine head on the hose to clean the furniture and curtains, which was quick and easy and by the time I was finished there was no sign we had a cat at all.
The Telescopic hose is very useful when it comes to cleaning the stairs and it makes it much less of a stretch. The extra length also makes it a lot easier to hoover up cobwebs from the ceiling.

My Dyson Animals Review ofDyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purpleby
cazzooblue
Advantages: Fantastic suction, no bag, attractive design Disadvantages: Heavy, more flimsy than previous models, wand not very bendable
I have two Dyson DC 14 Animals. I am a Dyson fan, I also have the washing machine.
I purchased the first Animal as my original DC01 was getting a bit old but is still going strong in my husband's workshop!
I then won a second Animal in a store draw six months later. As they are extremely heavy to get up and down the stairs we decided to keep one upstairs and one downstairs.
We were impressed with the suction of this machine, it is even more ...

Advantages: Suction, ease of use, robustness Disadvantages: Quite heavy to take up the stairs.
...when you are dragging the Dyson up the stairs (see moan about the weight later).
The main feature of the cleaner is the incredible suction though and it does not seem to weaken, even when the box is full. Pipework is straightforward, so if you do accidentally pick up something you shouldn't , there is little to get blocked and you can get to anywhere that is. There is a filter which needs washing and drying now and then but it is not too onerous ...

When people say that things suck it typically means something negative. Not is not the case here. This vacuum really sucks. No pun intended. I have a dog, and I swear she leaves other little dogs where ever she goes. I don't know how that could be because she's been fixed for quite sometime now. No, she just leaves fur all over my house. Enough that I could start and industry on fur coats just off of her alone. That's why I like this vacuum so much. ...

Advantages: Hoovers up hair animal hair brilliantly Disadvantages: Not so good with long haired humans!
...after using my neighbour's animal dyson to clean my student house before I moved out. My husband and I are both vets, so aswell as the hair from our three cats, a dog and a horse, there is also hair from our clothes all over the house! As such it gets a pretty good work out! The amount of hair it hoovers up is pretty disgusting, but it is easy and quick to empty. It is slightly frustrating how quickly it needs emptying when things are really dirty ...

Advantages: Never loses suction easy to empty Disadvantages: not good for stairs
We brought it through Co-op electrical and it cost £204.99 with a delivery charge of £9.99. Always a reliable piece of machinery as long as you look after it occasionally for maintenance purposes i have to unscrew the roller underneath to remove hair and an odd stray piece of carpet but all in all a good bit of kit which ive owned for 5 yrs now and is still ticking along just fine.obviously being a stand upright cleaner its not the best hoover ive ...

Advantages: Carpets look good as new - excellent on pet hair Disadvantages: Heavy. Pull out hand-held attachment is difficult to master
I love this hover! My carpets come up good as new everytime i use this hover.
The anti-allergen filter is great, it traps all the dust etc. House feels clean, it doesn't kick up the dust into the air like other hovers. Would definelty suggest for asthma and other allergy suffers.
The main brush head removes pet hair from carpets and hard surfaces with ease; 1 or 2 passes and its gone.
The pull out hand-held attachment has so many pieces ...

...new model than my original Dyson model. The attachments work well, although the crevice tool is a little annoying when doing tight corners eg. under beds, as it is not straight but bends to the left - I tried turning it around but obviously, the suction end was not pointing to the floor anymore! Having a handle on the wand is brilliant, however, the wand is much heavier and by the time I got to the top of my stairs, I felt like I had done a mini workout. ...
