Dyson DC15 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: works great on dust, dirt, and pet hair
Cons: a bit pricey

I haven't had but a couple of vacuums over the years, the last being a Dirt Devil that I constantly had to repair. After saving up a couple of bucks here and there (as I would before replacing any other expensive item) we decided to purchase a new vacuum ...

Pros: Cleans well and easy to maneuver.
Cons: Static.

This is by far the best vacuum for pet owners or anyone who has problems with dust or fine dirt particles. We have gone through many vacuum cleaners over the years, most dying out, others just losing their suction, but we definitely found a winner ...

Pros: DC15 Animal does not lose suction and it covers a vast number of cleaning jobs.
Cons: Pricey but worth every penny especially after using it. Slight learning curve.

The ONLY vacuum cleaner you will ever need! ****************************** ***************************A 2-Year Update Review of Dyson DC15 Animal UprightToday is September 4th, 2008. It is now over two years since I ...

Pros: works great on pet hair, easy to maneuver, lightweight as vacuums go
Cons: price, but WELL worth it. Hose can take getting used to.

I bought this machine for our new home and carpet. We have a golden retriever so pet hair control is very important. It was hard to spend the amount of money all at once- though I have spent as much on vacuums over the past ten years- but it was worth ...

Pros: Excellent rug/carpet cleaning, fast removal of pet hair, smart design
Cons: Some operations require instruction and a bit of practice

The last vacuum I bought was an expensive disaster. I had come to accept that my carpets and rugs were 70% labrador retriever dog hair, and that it was normal to have basketball-size tumbleweeds made of dust and pet hair rolling through my living room. ...

Pros: The best Vacuum in terms of doing what a Vacuum should primarily do, clean!
Cons: No local service centers/retail stores, no longer made in the UK.

Summary: Having been thru a few vacuums over the years, most recently a top of the line Oreck XL21, and before that a $350 Hoover self propelled model, I am pleased to say this one has finally exceeded my expectations. I don't have a problem ...

Pros: Picks up pet hair/dirt well. Canister is easy to empty. Ball works very well.
Cons: Way Too Overpriced!!!! Noisy. Hose Attachment very inconvenient to use. Chord is very stiff.

We received the Dyson DC 15 Animal Vacuum with The Ball as a gift. Since our other vacuum was just about shot, I was pretty excited about the Dyson because of the good reviews. To me, this thing just seems cheaply made, especially for the money. I ...

Pros: Quiet, good suction, lots of attachments, easily maneuverable
Cons: Could be about $150 cheaper, bin feels cheap, hard to recline at first.

This is my non-technical review of the Dyson DC15 Animal Ball upright. I am your average homemaker who loves to vacuum and couldn't wait to buy one. I have two hairy cats and a hairy golden retriever that helped me test out my new toy. I have read a ...

Pros: Suction is very strong. Easy maneuverability.
Cons: Heavy. Could use a light in the front. Telescoping wand not long enough.

Really picks up well, and ALL THE TIME, not just when the bag was freshly changed like on my old vacuum. But even though this maneuvers well, I still I find it hard to push around 20 pounds of vacuum. I'm hoping I'll get some nicely toned biceps out of ...

Pros: Easy to manouver, extremely efficient, long cord, easy to empty, worth the price
Cons: Purple? Wand is awkward but still works well. Makes me want to vacuum more.

I absolutely love this machine. I've had it since August. Ordered it through Factory Direct at $60 off, free shipping. It's a little confusing to put together because the handle looks like it should go on opposite from the way it actually goes. ...

Pros: Manueverability, suction, makes chores fun again
Cons: Price, but worth it

First of all I would like to say that no animals were harmed in the testing of and writing of this review. Who knew vacuuming could actually be fun. After many months of doing research on vacuums, and mainly since my wife has three cats, we settled on ...

Pros: The Dyson will give you a new way to define clean.
Cons: Upholstery attachment is cumbersome to use and comes loose from suction hose to easily.

Ok, so everyone needs a vacuum sooner or later. I've had my share of them including Hoover, Bissell, Dirt Devil, and even an Electrolux. This is the last one I will ever need to buy. I thought that my previous vacuum was doing a good job at removing ...

Pros: Quality construction, great suction still...
Cons: Paid a premium for an attachment that isn't up to par...

We have now owned our Dyson DC15 Ball Animal for a year. We have five cats and a dog, and purchased this vacuum specifically based on the recommendations of other Epinions users. Passes One Year Durability After the first year the suction on ...

Pros: Good warranty.
Cons: Over priced and hyped.  Hose use extended impossible.   Quality poor.  Clogs easily. 

I've owned this piece of Dyson crap over two years.  It is clumsy, the hose is impossible to use extended.  In fact, I must drag the unit around just to use the hose partially extended and it is very heavy.  I gave my Kirby to my daughter ...

Pros: The ball, suction, ease of emptying
Cons: Maybe figuring out how to use the hose

We bought this vacuum 3 and 1/2 years ago.  I was very hesitant to pay as much as these are.  Just before this I had owned what I thought was a very nice Hoover.  But, we heard great things about the Dysons.  I just commented to my ...
