Dyson DC25 Animal - Having A Ball!

Advantages: Large collecting bin and great suction!
Disadvantages: Not so Lightweight, and Power Cord could be longer.

...I bought my Dyson DC25 Animal about a month ago now, and have been very pleasantly surprised by the results. My old vacuum worked perfectly and I was more than happy with it, but once it started emitting smoke during use, I knew it was time to purchase a replacement. I did a little internet research and as we have a cat, the animal dyson appeared to be our best option. I was intrigued by the "ball" by Dyson and went to Curry's to have a closer look. The handling of the Dyson Ball is very smooth and remarkably easy. Once you've released the locking mechanism that keeps it upright, the vacuum becomes very flexible. No more pushing and shoving the vacuum around the room or furniture. With a simple turn of the wrist the Dyson goes exactly where you want it to go. I've found that the suction is incredible. With my previous...

Review of Dyson DC25 ALL Floors / DC25 BALL HEPA

Dyson DC20 Animal Pro

Advantages: Compact. Simple to use. Everything to hand. Brush turbine tool.
Disadvantages: Not One found in 6 months of use.

...Dyson DC20 Animal Stowaway Pro : This Vacuum cleaner is 'THE BEST' I have ever used/owned. It beats the Kirby every time, cost wise, It out performs every other vacuum I have ever tried, as a Decorator I operate many clients vac's, none come close to the Dyson for efficient dust and paper collection. The brush floor tool is absolutely brilliant, whether you have pets or not.. just get one... it cleans right to the very edge of the carpet... no more dusty lines. The picture doesnt lie, it folds away exactly like that so its unobtrusive. All the tools are attatched to the vac, in easy reach.. not shoved in a cupboard, just press a button to disconnect the cleaning head, slip on the attatchment and hey presto... nuf sed! Just get one, you wont prove me wrong! sue c...

Dyson DC23 Animal

Advantages: Great if you do not have long hair
Disadvantages: Turbine head traps long hair

...I rate dysons very highly but was extremely disappointed with this new model with the turbine head. Yes it does pick up fine hairs with ease. However, on the opposite end of the scale the turbine head traps long hair. If you have thick, strong, long black hair like me with a high turnover, it renders the turbine head useless. After a few rooms I have to stop and cut the mass of trapped hair with scissors to prevent the machine overheating. I have tried turning the turbine head off (which is recommended on wooden floors). However I have carpeted floors and the turbine head is next to useless at picking up hair without the turbine. I have emailed dyson just now because what I need is the DC23 allergy floor tool. In effect I need to turn my DC23 animal into a DC23 allergy at a considerable expense. In summary, I wish I had...

Review of Dyson DC 23 Allergy

Not clean with out DYSON DC22

Advantages: Tremendoous cleaning power, allergy suffers brilliant
Disadvantages: None

...Dyson, ahh, what can I say? We owe alot to James Dyson the founder of these beautifully engineered machines. This guy has developed products worth over £3bn dollars. Whenever I thought of Dyson vacuum cleaners 10years ago, I used to think, fancy colours, pricey and a good reputation. Nothings changed then and hence 10 years on I will review the DC22 Allergy. The first thing you notice about this little machine is how little it actually is. You wonder how the technology actually fits in the machine. TOOLS It comes with 2 extra tools - one for cleaning sofas and larger raised areas, and the other a longer tool with a brush attachment for curtains, siderailings and other hard to reach places. With the telescopic holder you can literally hoover the ceiling! STANDARD TOOL AND HOSE One of the brilliances...

Review of Dyson DC 22 BABY Animal

Dyson DC14 Animal - A Good Buy

Advantages: Power, Specific for Dog hair and Allergies, mini turbine
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, Long reach tool topples vaccumm at reach

...I have owned a DC 14 Animal with Hepa filter for 3 years now and bought it for around £300. I have had very little to complain about. We have a west highland white terrier and a small child so wanted to purchse the animal because of its specific performace on animal hair and the lifetime Hepa+ filter for allergies. This product does exactly what it says on the tin, powerfull and no loss of suction. In fact it still amazes me today to see how much dirt and dog hair the vaccum collects. This product has never broken and has been used three times a week over the last 3 years. It is a fairly quiet machine but has become more noisy over time. The product comes with a 14 stair long reach telscopic pole and mini vaccum turbine head. This is an excellent tool for use on stairs as the mini turbine head has its own built in rollers and brushes...

Review of Dyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purple

This Animal will eat everything up.

Advantages: Excellent, easy to use and powerful vacuum cleaner.
Disadvantages: None!

...Just a note: I have asked for my Dyson Animal under a new product Proposal Twice, as My Dyson is not silver and purple. It is silver and red. Ciao insist it is already listed here, so I give up explaining. Well My Dyson is this one anyway. It was made in silver and red only exclusive for Currys, Dixons etc. Just incase anyone thinks it's in the wrong place, I wanted to note this from the start. Well I personally would have it under a new product proposal myself, but it's not my doing. I added the different colour as special features though as it is I guess. My Reason For Purchasing The Dyson Animal: Well I thought I would write a review on my Dyson upright vacuum cleaner, as I would like to highly recommend it to others. Well the specific Dyson I am now using is called the Animal. It is one in the range of the DC14. This...

Review of Dyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purple

Animal by name and nature but it is domesticated

Advantages: very compact, cleans excellently, superb on dog hair, quiet , lifetime filters
Disadvantages: long hair gets tangled in the revolving brush like most vacuums

...I think I?ve mentioned before that I have a German Shepherd, and I may have mentioned she?s black, but I know I haven?t told you I have terracotta coloured carpets downstairs and pale blue in my bedroom. As you can imagine the dog hairs make a bold contrast particularly about now when she is moulting. I?ve had Shepherds for 25 years and have worked my way through many vacuum cleaners in the pursuit of perfection leaving many failures and burnt out motors in my wake. I had my first Dyson quite a bit back, the turbo, which was quite a decent cleaner but it died during an accidental fall down the stairs. My insurance company replaced it with a comparable model which after a bit of animated discussion turned out to be the DC20 Animalpro. It?s a cylinder model although Dyson describes it as a stowaway sledge (I?ve already got a dog...

Review of Dyson DC 14 Animal Silver&purple

Corr, What an Animal!!!

Advantages: Very Powerful
Disadvantages: /

...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 Anyway, we browsed the Internet doing price comparisons on the new Dyson hoovers and finally made our minds up on the Dyson DC14 Animal! We brought it through Co-op electrical and it cost £204.99 with a delivery charge of £9.99. This was a bargain as far as I am concerned as Argos is selling this online for £284.95. A massive saving as far as I can see! It really pays to shop around and try and buy online. This comes in the standard large oblong cardboard box. They are very...
